在(S3E2)中,Gideon不辞而别,只是特别为Reid留了一封信解释,Reid内心非常伤心。在(S3E3)中和Morgan被困在电梯,惊恐万分。在(S3E6)中第一次为万圣节特别打扮。在(S3E7)中,Reid被路人嘲笑是一根长了眼睛的竹竿("You're like a pipe cleaner with eyes!"),还被嘲笑配枪的位置就像是求别人快把他的枪夺走。在(S3E12)中被法警埋怨只顾埋头地理侧写,但最终亦因此最先找到受害人被困的地点。在(S3E14)中,Reid和Hotch到监狱分析一个将要处死刑的连环杀手,谁知他只想利用杀害FBI探员来延长审讯期。危急情况下,Reid急中生智,针对兇手的精神问题讲了整整十三分钟,以分散他的注意,最终才安全无恙。在(S3E16)中,Reid参加FBI互助会,惊讶地发现他的其中一个老上司约翰也在场,约翰借给Reid他戒酒一年的奖励勋章,以此鼓励Reid彻底戒毒。Reid从此远离毒品,即使在第四季感染炭疽病毒也坚持拒绝使用任何麻醉和止痛药(S4E21),但后来JJ和Hotch向小组成员隐瞒了Emily”死而复生“,Reid对此很受伤,并向JJ赌气说想过要重新吸毒(S7E1)。在(S3E19)剧情闪回中出现Reid加入FBI后第一次踏足兇案现场的情景。第三季第二集
这一季初,Reid因为Emily的死,脾气变得暴躁,在(S7E1)中愤怒地对质询BAU的法务部参议员说“This is calm and it's doctor“)。在(S7E2)中,Reid觉得自己被JJ出卖,不知情下连续十个星期跑到JJ家哭泣失去了一个好朋友,最后经Emily开解,原谅了JJ并愉快地参加了小组在Rosis家的聚会。在(S7E4)中被Morgan玩弄,向媒体公布Reid的电话号码,使Reid不停被骚扰,更令Reid在极不耐烦之下爆出了粗口("Son of bitch"),但Reid后来在飞机上用尖叫“反击”Morgan,扳回一局(爆笑)。在(S7E11”真正的天才“)一案中,Reid深深怀疑自己当初加入FBI的原因,认为自己应该能有更大的作为。后来Reid成功解破嫌疑犯隐藏的密码,救回人质。最后Reid体会到留在FBI和如亲人般的组员在一起才是正确的事情,最后小组还给Reid补办了一个惊喜的30岁生日派对。在(S7E13)中为捉捕一个连环杀手赌徒,在赌场大秀牌技(MGG本集服装致敬小丑)。第七季第五集
