4 years had passed since Garcia came back. Emily and Reid had gotten married. Emily wanted kids but Reid was hesitant, not wanting to pass his mothers' schizophrenia gene to their kids. Emily understood so she didn't press him. JJ gave birth to a girl whom she named Amanda. She had returned to work for the BAU shortly after Garcia had returned. Following her divorce, Strauss became more lenient towards the BAU, becoming a valuable friend and bending the frat-policies for Emily, Spencer, Garcia and Rossi. Hotch had found love unexpectedly; he realised he had feelings for Jessica, Hailey's sister. They explored their relationship, eventually getting serious. Morgan hadn't found his dream girl yet, stating he was comfortable being single. However, he had started a relationship with the BAU's secretary shortly after his statement. The BAU's Barbie, Melinda, had spread the rumor that she had been dating Rossi. After finding out she never had a chance with him, and never would, she left the BAU and joined the army as a nurse.

As for David and Penelope, they were the happiest couple there was. He had convinced her to move in with him, which she accepted right away. She eventually returned to the BAU and continued her job as best technical analyst at the FBI, as well as being the teams' ray of light. David spoiled her, getting her everything she wanted, finally proposing to her during the New Years party. After the wedding and a three month honey-moon to Italy, Paris, Fiji Islands and Brazil, Penelope found out she was pregnant and gave birth to a healthy baby boy which they named James David Rossi in honor of his first son that had passed. Two years after James was born, she found out she was pregnant again but decided she wanted to be surprised by the sex, not wanting to know it before the birth.

The BAU were the most efficient team the FBI had. They continued to work to capture serial killers and psychopaths, not as a team but as a family. They met together every week to unwind and comfort each other, so that nobody would leave without saying goodbye were after all world renowned profilers, unable to lie to one another, no matter how good of an actor they were.
