The promo trailer adds in more details on what is about to transpire in the upcoming episode. From the looks of it, it seems not that pleasant. The clip opens up with JJ (AJ Cook), Hotch (Thomas Gibson), and Rossi (Joe Mantegna) coming out from an emergency hospital looking quite a bit worried and shocked. A scene from a memory shows Morgan carrying an unconscious Savannah. A flashback of the two kissing in the open was then shown followed by a loud gunshot. Morgan can now be seen angry and desperate as he tells Hotch that he just can't "sit down and do nothing."
This gives Hotch the impression that his man is not emotionally capable to handle the case and so dropped him off the job. But he was wrong. At one point in the video, he was entering a house looking for something. He then realized that he has walked into a trap. The clip ended with Morgan tearfully calling out "Baby girl."
Is it really goodbye for Morgan?
