“Roy was the engineer, and anything related to engineering, in any specialism, would have to pass through his hands. This included assembling the plane’s radio, just like he’d fixed the small battery-operated Spika radio and made it work.
“Adolfo sat down beside him. He explained to Roy that it was not a matter of expertise in electronics but one of ignorance, and pointed out that Roy was the least ignorant of everybody in that department. Roy argued that he had never seen an airplane radio in his life, not even in a book. Adolfo put his hand over Roy’s. ‘I know that, Roy. We all know that. I only wanted to tell you that you were the best one at handling the wires and the terminals, that’s all. But right now that’s a lot, it makes a huge difference … you are the engineer.’
“Roy, almost breathless, added something that his older friend already knew: ‘I am barely in my first year in Engineering, I’m only twenty years old, and the only time I’ve ever been remotely close to anything like this was when I helped instal a damn audio system for my cousins.’
“‘And you fixed the Spika radio,’ Adolfo responded, as if it were a thermonuclear station and not a basic portable radio the size of a pack of cigarettes. Before Adolfo even said the next sentence he knew clearly that it was as painful for him to say as it was for his friend to hear it. ‘Roy, the group needs your abilities. All we’re asking is that you try.’ ”

What was this? Am I crazy or was there something here
Spencer doesn’t like hugging I think we’ve established by now. The team seems to be a expectation/ any one on the teams partner or kids. But Stephen Gideon who I think was brought up MAYBE 3 times or so as far as I know has no relationships with anyone in the BAU besides Rossi or Hotch. So when he herd about his estranged fathers death the last thing I expected was for SPENCER of all people to give him a hug. Sure you could argue that Spencer was trying to be nice or he’s been so overcome with grief over the death of his mentor (even though the only time Spencer had actually let his emotions show in front of the team was when Maeve was kidnapped.)
If I had a nickel every time Spencer showed affection towards a guy with great facial hair I’d have two nickels.
This smile lives in my mind rent free.

"I told him she was his girlfrieeeend"
That scene always amused me so much, i mean with his little love dazed expression and her basically girlboss dipping him it's just.... ugudgudgidg i love them so much. The fact that it's not even the focus of the scene makes it somehow funnier lol
what can i say. Buzz's having the time of his life
