Criminal Minds - A Heteroglossic text - (Focus on the Left Wing Ideological Position)

Throughout this episode, it is evident that rules are bent when circumstances need it - traditionally the FBI would have called for back-up, but because the life of a innocent boy called Declan was in danger, but also, his father, Ian Doyle, was responsible for multiple murders including the attempted murder of a valued investigator, Emily Prentiss,
Another left wing ideologial position seen in the episode is that the FBI abused their positions of power -the team, (particuarly Agent Morgan) who becomes slightly corrupt by wanting to seek 'revenge'/ 'justice' for the death of his fellow friend and colleague Agent Prentiss by re-opening the case without the permission from his chief Agent Hotchner, with the help of his fellow agents. When Agent Morgan eventually gets permission from his chief to 'take the shot' he stops himself and takes Agents Prentiss's killer ( Ian Doyle) in for questioning which lasted for six hours, because it took so long we can infer that Morgan intended to drain the information from Doyle to give information which would help find his son, before he let him go, Agent Reid suggested they use Doyle for trade of Doyle's son Declan who was being held hostage by his mother (Chloe)  and three of her accomplices, two of which she shot dead after using them for what she needed them for. She wanted to torture Doyle in reflection of the seven months Doyle held her captive whilst pregnant with their son Declan during her pregnancy she tried to kill her unborn son Declan which was why  Doyle kept her imprisoned to ensure she gave birth to his son.
During the trade, Doyle gets shot and killed this gives the team (particuarly Agent Morgan) a sense of justice.
