I think "Normal" was better, though, because this kind of episode hinges on the ability of the actor playing the unsub, and although O'Loughlin was good, Mitch Pileggi turned in the superior performance.

I found his portrayal of the OCD serial killer chilling and as far removed from Mick St John as he could get. He did a fantastic job in keeping with the quality of the show that CM is.

Nice to see a non-aggressive Morgan for a change, but I thought that Hotch & Garcia stole the show.
