Great question. The answer Messer gives is always a way to try and “sugar coat” everything that they have made the wrong choices about. They have a habit of undeniably “kicking” people off this show without thought or reprimand for their actions. No pun intended. Apparently they are and will continue to grasp at straws. By the way, why didn’t J.J. become Unit Chief? Her husband is very understanding. Whatever happened to Prentiss fiancee, Mark I believe it was? I think she should’ve stayed with Interpol. Always questions wit this show and no legitimate answers. “Wheels up.”
