Criminal Minds: Profiler, Profiled

Morgan's mother was played by Kerrie Keane. She's been in a lot of stuff, including on 90210 for a stint, that may be where you are remembering her from.

Who was the lady that played Derek Morgan's mother? I think I remember her from a soap opera. Can't find the information.

CC--

The football coach didn't kill the first two victims. They were unsolved, but the circumstances suggested they were killed by the same person. He killed Damien to look like it was the same person, and when he framed Derek, all three murders were thrown at him.

They didn't really explain why the youth center guy (Carl Buford) killed the 1st two victims - the 3rd boy (Damien) was probably because Damien knew about the abuse and told the boy (forgot his name) to contact Morgan and tell him. Or at least that's what Morgan pieced together. Maybe the 1st two victims resisted Buford's molestation and he killed them? It wasn't clear...

I also thought that the grave Morgan was visiting was his mother's (based on Reid's comment that Morgan always goes to Chicago for his mother's birthday) and then was surprised to see that his mom was white. Also thought it might be a foster parent situation but then I just figured that maybe his father was black, mother was white.

Can someone give me a brief recap. I can not find it anywhere. Our crappy DVR failed and lost the last 15 minutes. Thanks! I gathered the youth center leader did it, but why? Did they give any reasoning, etc. The DVR stopped when the youth center guy was in the police station stating how he regretted having Morgan's record expunged. THANKS:)

The show dealt with that pretty well. He said he was trying to let the guy keep being a hero...I think its also true that a male victim of sexual abuse has a much more difficult time bringing that out into the light than wome would. Call it male pride... but he was trying to move on with his life. I felt it was believable.

Am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that Morgan, after becoming an FBI agent, never did anything about the guy who molested him? From the story, sounds like more than a few kids had been molested since he was. You could argue that the kid he helped was molested because of his inaction.

Hey Prof, there's a link for corrections on the bottom right side of the screen - use it instead of the comments. BTW, Brent KcKee, when you write for a living you really should get it right the first time. Even though you made no errors here your attitude bothered me.

I liked the fact that they didn't explain the white mother. Shows that assume the viewers are intelligent are always more intriguing. On the comedic level, Fraser did the same. Viewers are more savvy than writers give us credit for.

There wasn't anything odd about the fact that his on-screen mother was white. It is the same as Shemar Moore's real-life situation--black father/white mother.

I'm going to stick up for Gordinsky a bit. He is proof positive of the old saying that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." His little bit of knowledge is the fairly bare bones profile of the killer that Gideon provided him with. He then took that knowledge and applied it the wrong way. He looked at the case and saw Morgan as the "obvious" suspect. Admittedly it was based on his personal biases against Derek as a "troublemaker" but it fits the profile. Or rather he made it fit the profile. At the same time Gordinsky doesn't consider the actual killer to be a suspect because who really considers his friend to be a possible serial killer? The man was quite literally the pillar of his community, someone who did his best to keep the local boys from turning into the local gangbanger. Gordinsky may have been totally wrong but I'm not sure that calling him incompetent is entirely valid either.
