Emily: 'My mother's a career politician - you worked with her...did you like her?'

Prentiss: Hey...wait, can I ask you...why are you really here?
Hotch (embarrassed): I told you.
Hotch: ...to your credit, you quit rather than whisper in her ear.
Prentiss: I told you. I hate politics.
Hotch: I want you on that plane with me. One more case.
