Added DiffLines:

* KarmicOverkill: Deputy Gentry doesn't hide his condescending opinions of illegal immigrants, but that still doesn't justify Boyd shooting him dead. Especially since he's shown to be [[EveryoneHasStandards horrified]] that Boyd went to the local Cartel's hangout and shot them all dead unprovoked. Not to mention [[WhatTheHellHero pointing out]] that Boyd can't claim self-defense for killing Omar because the man is unarmed.


Added DiffLines:

* SherlockScan: At the Cartel's hangout, the team quickly notes the scene was staged: Omar was killed by a shotgun, but Deputy Gentry only has a pistol.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatTheHellHero: JJ and Morgan warn Deputy Gentry that his inability to keep his racist remarks to himself is going to hinder the progress of their investigation.

Added DiffLines:

* DisabilityAlibi: Inverted. The BAU notices that "Santa Muerte" the [=UnSub=] chases his victims with an ATV and assume it's a matter of convenience (moving large distances in the desert on foot is not easy) but eventually figure out that the [=UnSub=] has problems with his one of his legs and thus chasing after his victims on foot is not an option. Sure enough, Boyd has a limp.

* OppressiveImmigrationEnforcement: The [[MonsterOfTheWeek serial killer of the week]] is [[KillerCop Ronald Boyd]], a crazy sheriff's deputy of a New Mexico border town who spends his nights hunting down illegal immigrants trying to sneak into the United States and killing them. When the BAU arrives in town because of the huge body count he has left behind, he escalates to insane levels to not be caught, including annihilating a local Cartel group to try to frame them for the deaths, killing a fellow deputy when he is a witness, and trying to shoot it out with the FBI agents. He's even infuriated his boss Sheriff Ruiz investigated his victims' disappearances, declaring his victims can't be missing as they "[[BigotWithABadge ain't supposed to be here in the first damn place]]" right before killing him.



* VillainousBreakdown: After things stop going his way, Boyd "devolves", shoots three cartel members and his partner, goes on the run and goes out DefiantToTheEnd, firing on the BAU with a machine gun rather than surrender.

With Boyd driving straight at them, Morgan has to shoot through the windshield of the SUV to take him down, prompting Prentiss in the driver's seat to complain afterwards about him busting her eardrums from firing an automatic weapon next to her. Morgan retorts that there weren't exactly a lot of other options.
