Unfortunately last night's episode wasn't new. It was a rerun from a previous season. However, it is still an interesting episode to talk about. The show basically starts off showing a boy locked in a room while his mother tries killing herself. After authorities were dispatched the boy was kidnapped. His kidnapper gave the boy the choice if he wanted to see his mom or if he wanted his mom to be happy. Since he was a child, of course he misunderstood and told his kidnapper he wanted his mom happy. In order to "save" the boy and make the mother "happy" he believes killing her is the right thing to do. This kidnapper is driven to "save" children in unhappy or unsafe households. He ends up kidnapping two boys and a girl but thankfully only the first mother died. The BAU stepped in just in time to save the other two mothers by figuring out that the killer knew what houses to find since he was a 911 operator.
When the kidnapper was just a boy his father wasn't in his life. His mother had attempted suicide before so he felt neglected and unloved. He blamed his mother for these feelings so he did what he thought would be best for both of them. As his mother was sitting on a bridge, he pushed her off to her death. He felt this resulted in her being "happy" and him being "saved". Having those feelings because of the environment he was raised in as a child, those feelings lingered with him into adulthood. Therefore he was compelled to "save" children and make them happy no matter what the cost.
