Season 8 has a lot of really good episodes and "All That Remains" (8x14) arguably ranks in the top 5. This episode has several big twists so hang on for a wild ride. First of all, let me give credit to actor Ken Olin. He is the MVP of this episode. He should be considered one of the great guest actors in Criminal Minds history. It's the Bruce Morrison character that drives this episode. That character is front and center the entire episode.
The story revolves around a man (Bruce Morrison) whos 13 and 17 year old daughters go missing. He made a "confused" phone call to 911 where he appears disoriented. Apparently, 36 hours have gone by before he realized his two daughters were missing. The BAU team then hear a phone call from 1 year before to the day where Bruce made a 911 call reporting that his wife was missing and he waited 2 days to phone that in. Bruce seems guilty as hell. The lead detective in his wife's disappearance (she still hasn't been found) and an old neighbor thinks that Bruce is responsible for his entire family disappearing.
Bruce's missing wife Judy had an affair before she turned up missing. Bruce is a writer and was a professor at a university. But when he was accused by police of being involved in his wife's disappearance, he was let go by the university. So he lost some income. Add to that, he's a drunk and can go into violent rages and was apparently recently in a big argument with one of his daughters.
Some critical evidence starts to pile up on Bruce which makes him look even more guilty.
This episode has several big twists. And they all make sense. A very well written episode and certainly one of my favorites from season 8.
