   Summary

   "He gives his life every day to help people. And I do the same. Just because he's out there saving the world doesn't mean I'm not in here saving his."

   Or

   Spencer Reid visits his mother expecting another quiet afternoon at Bennington Sanitarium. Instead, he meets the nurse who knows Diana better than anyone and somehow understands both of them in ways that leave him completely unprepared.

   Diana, of course, saw it coming from the start.
