The Hunt

The pressure is on for the team, and the clock is ticking, when it is discovered that Kate's niece, Meg, and her best friend, Markayla, have been kidnapped. Through this difficult investigation, the BAU comes to suspect an Internet predator, involved in an online human trafficking ring of a sexual nature, who has been posing as a teenage boy. Also JJ reveals to Reid that she is pregnant with her and Will's second child. Kate (Jennifer Love Hewitt) announces her leave-of-absence to Hotch and leaves the BAU to spend a year off with Meg, her husband Chris, and her soon-to-be-born child.
