* Near the end of ''After Her'' by Joyce Maynard the narrator Rachel discovers that her (now deceased) father had a daughter he never told them about when the now-adult woman approaches her at a book signing. In a variation, everyone was aware of the relationship that produced her and their father had been divorced from Rachel's mother (who's implied to have known about the girl's existence and not cared) for years by the time the other girl was born, but he never told Rachel and her sister Patti about her because Rachel once swore in a fit of anger she'd never forgive him if he had another child. At first Rachel rejects her half-sister, but the two reconcile after she saves Rachel from the SerialKiller who her father had tried and failed to find all those years ago.

** Mentioned in passing in "Pay It Forward." The unsub turns out to be killing hypocrites. After the team looks into the seemingly-clean second victim, Hotchner angrily confronts one of his friends who had called him a great family man, asking ''which'' family he was referring to: the family in town everyone knows about, or the secret family a few towns away.

It's strongly implied [[RefugeInAudacity he chose to woo the second Marion specifically so he wouldn't have to worry about accidentally calling either of them by the other's name]], earning him a mixture of contempt and grudging admiration from the rest of Blue Watch for his sheer ''chutzpah''.
