* SuperIdentikit: Aiden's face is reconstructed after her charred body is found. Hawkes uses computer programs to build the face after the flesh is removed from her skull. He knows the technique doesn’t produce exact matches, so when he shows Mac that it was Aiden, he comes prepared with her police records photo and shows him how it matches her skull. This is a real life technique to confirm a match.
