text: Andrea Somers, played by Madeleine West, made her first appearance on 20 January 2017.[2] West previously played Dee Bliss, who was presumed dead in 2003 when her husband Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) accidentally crashed their car into the sea. On 15 September 2016, Tiffany Dunk of News.com.au reported that West had reprised the role of Dee.[3] West returned to filming that same week.[4] However, during the episode broadcast on 2 February 2017, it was revealed that Dee was actually an impostor named Andrea Somers.[5] Andrea is impersonating Dee in order to gain money from the Bliss family estate.[5] She also includes her daughter Willow Somers (Mieke Billing-Smith) in the scam, by pretending that she is Toadie's daughter.[5]

text: Andrea turns up at Number 30 Ramsay Street pretending to be Dee Bliss. She tells Toadie that after the car crashed, she kept being dragged down by the waves. She eventually washed up on the beach, but hit her head on some rocks, causing a brain injury. She was found by a woman named Emily, who did not call for help, as she believed she was protecting her from Toadie. Andrea shows Toadie a photo of her injuries and says she suffered from memory loss, blackouts and mood swings. When Toadie asks why she did not find him sooner, Andrea explains that she saw him with Sindi Watts (Marisa Warrington) and did not want to ruin his happiness. Andrea asks Toadie to help her gain closure. Andrea meets Dee's close friend Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner), whose partner Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) is suspicious of her story. He raises the issue of getting a DNA test to prove her identity, but Andrea says they cannot ask Dee's sister Cecile Bliss (Molly McCaffrey) for a sample, as she is dead. Mark later finds that Cecile took part in a medical experiment prior to her death and he obtains a sample of her DNA. Andrea gives Mark a hair and the DNA results confirms that it belongs to Dee.

text: When Toadie unexpectedly turns up at the motel room, he meets Willow and Andrea tells him that she is his daughter. Toadie's wife, Sonya (Eve Morey) asks for a paternity test and Andrea produces a home kit that she had bought earlier. Andrea later explains to Willow that she replaced Willow's swab with one she took from Sonya and Toadie's daughter Nell (Scarlett Anderson). It soon emerges that Andrea is after the money from the Bliss family estate and once she has it, she and Willow will leave Erinsborough. Willow expresses her reservations over deceiving the Rebecchi family and letting Toadie believe that she is his daughter. Andrea tells her daughter to go along with the plan, so she can give her the life she deserves. Sindi comes to the motel and it emerges that she told Andrea about her resemblance to Dee. It also emerges that Sindi posed as Emily on the phone to Mark, and is after a cut of the Bliss estate in exchange for helping Andrea with the information needed to scam Toadie. Sindi expresses her regret about being involved, and demands her initial cut of $20,000 be doubled to $40,000; however it is revealed that there is in fact no money left in the estate, it having disappeared under insolvency. Andrea tells Toadie that she has feelings for him. After Toadie gives Andrea a cheque for $100,000 for Willow's education, Andrea and Willow leave for London. Toadie follows them, so he can bring them home. Toadie assumes Sonya has had an affair with Mark, and he has sex with Andrea when she comes to his hotel room. While she is in the shower, Toadie finds Andrea's passport. He confronts her and she initially tries to pass it off as a fake that Willow made. But she eventually admits that she is not Dee. She tries to convince Toadie that her deception is unimportant and tells him that she loves him, but he rejects her and leaves. Willow tells Andrea that Toadie has been struck by a taxi, but Andrea refuses to go to the hospital. She also reveals to Willow that she took $100,000 from Toadie and will not be giving it back.

text: Willow Somers, played by Mieke Billing-Smith, made her first appearance on 31 January 2017. Billing-Smith's casting and her character details were announced on 23 January.[6] Willow was introduced as the teenage daughter of Andrea Somers (Madeleine West), who tells Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) that Willow is his daughter.[6] Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy praised Billing-Smith for her role in the Andrea/Toadie storyline, saying she had been "a great discovery for the show". He also hoped Willow would return, especially as the show had a history of character's taking in "random waifs and strays".[7] Executive producer Jason Herbison stated that he loved the character, and explained, "It's always a great dynamic when you have a child who's forced to parent an adult. She really was a leaf blown about in the breeze created by Andrea. I thought Mieke did a terrific job." He added that there was a chance Willow could return in the future.[8] It was later confirmed that the character would be returning on 11 July.[9] Willow departed again on 4 August, after deciding to live with her father Fergus Olsen (Andrew Percy).[10]

text: Willow's mother Andrea brings her to Erinsborough when she decides to scam Toadfish Rebecchi by posing as his deceased wife Dee Bliss. When Toadie finds Willow in Andrea's motel room, Andrea tells him Willow is his daughter. Willow is forced to go along with her mother's plan and she spends time with Toadie. They bond over her desire to become a pilot and he helps her get into a private school. Willow becomes involved in a fake ID scheme with Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel), and tries to blackmail Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) with a photoshopped picture of Elly in bed with student Angus Beaumont-Hannay (Jai Waetford). After Willow and Andrea flee to London, Toadie is able to use Willow's social media to track them down. After Toadie discovers Andrea's real identity, Willow tries to talk to him, but he walks into the road and is struck by a taxi. Willow visits him in the hospital. She also tries, unsuccessfully, to convince her mother to give back the $100,000.

text: Months later, Willow returns to Erinsborough and tidies up Sonya Rebecchi's (Eve Morey) garden nursery following a storm. Sonya later catches Willow outside her home and Willow sprains her wrist when she falls. Sonya takes her to the hospital, where Toadie meets them. Willow explains that she ran away from Andrea, after they failed to find her real father and Andrea lied about repaying Toadie. As Willow cannot support herself, Toadie decides that she can stay with him instead of going into care. Sonya gives Willow a job at the nursery. Toadie later decides that he and Willow should move into one of the Eclipse apartments at Lassiter's, as Number 32 is too crowded. Willow learns that her father, Fergus Olsen (Andrew Percy), is living in Port Macquarie and she decides she wants to meet him. Fergus comes to Erinsborough to meet Willow. He tells her how a swimming accident that left him paralysed helped him change his life around. He is married and has two young daughters. After spending some time with him, Fergus invites Willow to stay with him and his family. Willow weighs up the pros and cons of going to Port Macquarie, and eventually decides to go. Toadie decides to go with her to see her settle in. She tells Ben during her farewell party that she always thought something romantic would happen between them, and he agrees, but he was taking his time. Willow visits Sonya and Nell to say goodbye. She tells Sonya that if she wants Toadie back, not to take too long as Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) has feelings for him.

text: Finn Kelly, played by Rob Mills, made his first screen appearance on 15 March 2017.[11][12] Mills hinted at his casting by posting a series of images on social networking website Instagram confirming his move to Melbourne, where the show is filmed.[13] His casting and character details were officially announced on 15 November 2016.[11] Luke Dennehy of the Herald Sun reported that Mills had begun filming his first scenes during the same week.[14] Mills revealed that his character's storyline would last for four to five months.[15] Of joining the show, Mills stated "I can't wait to get started on the show. As a youngster, I played baseball just behind where Ramsay Street is located and I thought at the time, how great it would be to be on Neighbours, and now it has happened!"[11]

text: Finn is "a progressive and respected school teacher", who joins the staff of Erinsborough High after being hired by Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne).[11] The show's executive producer, Jason Herbison, called Finn "a really intriguing character", who has some unexpected secrets.[11] While Mills commented, "Yeah he's got a few secrets, some that will end early and some that will end a little bit later."[15] Network Ten producer Claire Tonkin added that Finn would be charming and have "an unexpected agenda".[16] Finn is Elly Conway's (Jodi Anasta) former partner.[17] Johnathon Hughes of Radio Times branded Finn "one of the nastiest characters Neighbours has ever seen." Hughes also called him a "toxic teacher" and added "We're not used to this level of evil in sunny Erinsborough".[18] Finn made his final appearance on 29 June 2017. Mills commented that he would not rule out a return for his character.[19]

text: Finn takes a teaching job at Erinsborough High as a replacement for Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin). The principal, Susan Kennedy, introduces Finn to his class, which is being covered by Elly Conway. Elly asks Finn to go home and resign, as she does not want to see him again. It soon emerges that Finn and Elly dated, while he was married. Elly also blames Finn for an incident at their last school in which her presentation was sabotaged. She asks Finn to leave again, but he refuses. Finn moves in with Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) on Ramsay Street, and starts tutoring Xanthe Canning (Lilly Van der Meer). Elly wrongly blames Finn for a critical posting about her on the internet. When he approaches her, Elly pushes him away and Finn falls down some stairs. He is taken to the hospital, where he declines to pursue legal action against Elly, saying he still loves her. During her work experience at the hospital, Xanthe discovers that Finn has a brain aneurysm. He asks her to keep it a secret. Finn encourages Susan's grandson Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard) to leave school and pursue a career as a mechanic. He keeps notes on Susan's failings, hoping that it will help him to become principal. Finn and Elly get back together. He applies for the acting assistant principal position, and reveals his relationship with Elly to get Susan removed from the interview board, as she has a conflict of interest. Elly tells Finn that she can not trust him and breaks up with him. Susan orders Finn to stop coaching Xanthe, but they agree to meet secretly.

text: Finn involves Xanthe in his dishonest scheme to become principal. Finn sneaks into Elly's bedroom and alters several grades on essays she has marked, causing an investigation. He later swaps Susan's vitamins for Piper Willis's (Mavournee Hazel) pain medication. Finn is made acting principal when Susan becomes ill. He also learns Elly spoke to his former wife and tells her that he wants her to resign or he will force her out. He then admits to sabotaging her presentation at their previous school. Finn continues to manipulate Xanthe, who agrees to stay quiet about the medication swap. Finn implements a vertical integration scheme at the school, but the teachers are not prepared and the students dislike it. Piper organises a student strike and notifies the West Waratah Star. Xanthe tells Piper about Finn's aneurysm, and Piper calls off the strike. Finn's medication swap is discovered after Nell Rebecchi (Scarlett Anderson) swallows some of the pain killers and is hospitalised. Finn decides to fly to Hong Kong and Xanthe decides to go with him, however, they are escorted off the plane by the federal police. Finn frames Xanthe by putting the medication in her bag. Xanthe later meets with Finn and secretly records a confession. When Finn tries to grab her phone, he collapses after suffering a haemorrhagic stroke. He undergoes surgery to stop the bleed, which results in paralysis. Finn denies everything heard in the confession. Elly visits him and he accuses her of trying to smother him with a pillow. Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) and Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) prove Finn is faking his paralysis and he retracts his accusation. He also gives Mark a full confession. Finn asks to see Elly, Ben, Xanthe and Susan. He tells Elly that he still loves her, he apologises to Xanthe for manipulating her, and he admits to using Ben to further his own agenda. When Finn tries to blame his poor health for his actions, Susan tells him that he should have been living his best life, not trying to destroy everything around him. Finn begs her to help him, but Susan realises that he is not remorseful and leaves. Finn is then transferred to a prison hospital.

He stopped her from leaving with her service weapon, and she decided to quit the force. Mishti tells Dipi that the accident with Tyler reminded her of Xander.

I wish I could be filming everyday but I have to go to school."[26] When she is on set, Dhir films her scenes in a couple of hours, so she can keep up with her schooling.[26] Kirsha is Shane (Nicholas Coghlan) and Dipi Rebecchi's (Sharon Johal) younger daughter. She is intelligent and enjoys reading.

Kirsha is paired with Tia Martinez (Erica Brown) for a school assignment, and Tia later invites her to a sleepover, which Kirsha does not want to attend.

text: Yashvi Rebecchi, played by Olivia Junkeer, made her first appearance on 24 April 2017.[24] The character and casting details were announced on 27 March 2017.[21] Yashvi is Shane (Nicholas Coghlan) and Dipi Rebecchi's (Sharon Johal) older daughter. She was described as being "a boisterous troublemaker who's fearless and confident."[21] Yashvi likes to try tricks and jokes out on new people, and enjoys being the centre of attention. She is more of an "opportunist" than a "bad girl".[21]

text: Yashvi arrives in Erinsborough with her mother Dipi and younger sister Kirsha Rebecchi (Vani Dhir). Her father, Shane, reveals that he has rented Number 32 Ramsay Street for the family. Yashvi explores the garden and then jumps in the swimming pool fully clothed. Shane also buys Harold's Café for Dipi, who bakes Anzac Biscuits and asks Kirsha and Yashvi to give them out to the community. Yashvi attempts to join in the Two-up game at the pub, but is told she is too young. Yashvi tells Kirsha and Jimmy Williams (Darcy Tadich) that she knows how to drive. Yashvi becomes a suspect when a ute is reversed into the backpackers' hostel, and Dipi's statue of Ganesh is found in the glove box. She is cleared when Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) admits to taking it. Yashvi buries some fireworks in the garden, but they are dug up by the Rebecchi's dog Clancy. Her uncle Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) questions her about them and she admits that she tried to bury them near the backpackers' on the morning of the accident. He decides to hold onto the fireworks and hand them into the police later. Yashvi bonds with her cousin Callum Rebecchi (Morgan Baker) when he visits from the United States.

text: Yashvi joins in with fellow student Luke Browne (Connor Harvey) and his friends when they gossip about Xanthe Canning (Lilly Van der Meer) and Finn Kelly (Rob Mills). Xanthe's former boyfriend Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard) overhears them and shoves Luke into a locker, accidentally injuring Yashvi in the process. Ben is punished, making Yashvi feel guilty and she admits to playing a part in Ben losing his temper, before joining him on punishment duty. Yashvi develops a crush on mechanic Evan Lewis (Joe Klocek) and deliberately damages her father's car, so that she can see him when it is taken to the garage. Evan agrees to go to a football game with Yashvi, but she cancels when Kirsha goes missing. She and Evan later arrange another date at the Backpackers', where Yashvi gets drunk, leading Dipi to blame Evan. He tells Yashvi they are not going out again, but later changes his mind. During the date, she discovers that he is Piper Willis' (Mavournee Hazel) online troll. In her rush to flee from Evan, she takes his car and strikes something with it. Believing it was Evan, she turns to her aunt Mishti Sharma (Scarlet Vas) for help, and it transpires that Evan is fine. Dipi feels pushed out of Yashvi's life. Yashvi and Ben fall asleep on the sofa together, and Shane and Dipi mistakenly believe they have had sex after discovering a condom wrapper in the bin. Though it turns out to belong to Mishti, the students at Erinsborough High believe Ben and Yashvi are a couple and Yashvi does not correct them, as it makes her more popular. Yashvi tells Freya Stone (Adele Wilson) that she and Ben have a friends with benefit arrangement and shows her a naked picture of Ben that she claims he sent to her. Ben later attempts to kiss Yashvi, but she wants them to remain friends. During a school formal party, Xanthe learns that Yashvi is lying and encourages her to tell Ben. Yashvi admits that she is behind the rumours about their relationship and Ben refuses to go to the formal.

text: During the Year 12 break-up antics, Yashvi joins in despite being in Year 11. She takes a durian from Karl's hothouse and puts in the air conditioning causing a horrible smell. Susan tells Yashvi that she's expelled, whereupon Ben confesses, wrongly, that he did it.

text: Jeremy Newell[edit]

text: Jeremy "Jezza" Newell, played by Robbie Ryde, made his first appearance on 22 June 2017.[27] The character and Ryde's casting details were announced on 8 June. Ryde previously appeared in the show as an extra.[27] Jeremy is a carpenter, who appears in party scenes with fellow carpenter Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond).[27] Of Jeremy, Ryde commented "My character is an antagonist, he's not a nice guy. It's always a challenge to play someone with different beliefs than yourself, but that is acting."[27]

text: Jeremy attends Amy Williams's house warming at the Lassiter's Penthouse. He sees David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) and Tom Quill (Kane Felsinger) kissing. David later tries to make small talk with Jeremy, who replies with homophobic comments. He tells Amy that she should not be raising her young son around David, and she tells him to leave the party.

Webb's guest stint was announced in April 2017.[28] Mannix is a friend of Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano), and Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy described Mannix as "a troublesome face from his past".[29] Mannix has been wrongly accused of being a snitch and comes to Leo for help after he is stabbed. Leo asks his brother David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) to treat Mannix and reveals that he was actually responsible for telling the police about a nightclub's "dodgy practices".[29]

text: Leo Tanaka organises a room for his friend Mannix at Robinsons motel. The motel's co-owner Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner) becomes suspicious of him, after seeing people enter and leave his room. She also finds a bag of money in his room and Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) tells Leo that Mannix needs to leave by the end of the week. Steph later questions Mannix about his check out time. Mannix meets Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) in Lassiter's Complex and she recognises him from the Sydney clubbing scene. She agrees to go for a drink with him to catch up. Mannix locks himself in his motel room and asks to see Leo. He reveals that he has been stabbed and Leo gets his brother David to treat him. Paul tells Leo that Mannix needs to leave, so Leo takes him to the backpackers' hostel, making his wound worse. Leo explains to David that he informed on the Renshaws, who were laundering money through a nightclub, but Mannix got the blame and that is likely the reason why he got stabbed. Mannix's condition worsens and David steals some morphine from the hospital to treat him. Paul later shows up and tells Mannix that he will see to it that he never has a reason to return to Erinsborough. Paul later explains that he got a couple of men to threaten Mannix, before he was taken to a regional hospital and admitted under a false name.

text: Fay Brennan, played by Zoe Bertram, made her first appearance on 28 July 2017.[31][32] Bertram's casting was announced on 17 July. She previously appeared in the show as Lorraine Dowski in 2011.[31] Fay is the mother of Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor), Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) and Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns).[33] Her introduction was revealed by Burns in May 2017. He commented that she would have a secret, while her arrival brings up issues from Tyler's past, resulting in "a big confrontation scene."[34] Fay's introduction came about after the death of actor Russell Kiefel, who played the brothers' father Russell Brennan. Kiefel was due to reprise his role, but his unexpected death led to a storyline change.[35] Wilson explained that all three brothers have various issues with their mother and Aaron acts "very out of character" towards her.[35]

text: Fay comes to Erinsborough to see her sons Mark, Aaron and Tyler. Mark is pleased to see her, but Aaron questions her sudden visit. Fay later talks with Tyler about her divorce from their father, Russell. She apologises for leaving him and his brothers with Russell and for the abuse Tyler suffered at his hands. She also admits that she should have come to see him after he told her about it two years ago. Tyler accepts her apology and they reconcile, but Aaron is still angry with Fay for leaving them. Russell attempts to call Fay, but she rejects his call. His former partner Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) later introduces herself to Fay and asks if she has heard from Russell lately. Aaron and Fay talk and he tells her that he wishes she could have been around while he was coming to terms with his sexuality. Fay explains that Russell has been calling her lately, while Mark tells her Russell sent Sheila an apology letter. Fay calls Russell back and he asks her to visit him in Port Lincoln. Aaron encourages her to go.

text: Fay returns a couple of weeks later to inform the boys that Russell has had a heart attack and is in the hospital. As they plan to visit him, the hospital calls Fay and she informs her sons that Russell has died. Aaron's partner David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) contacts the hospital for more information and reveals that Russell's last words were Memory Cove, a place the family used to visit. Fay tells her sons that she is going back to Port Lincoln, before explaining to Sheila that she had an affair in Memory Cove and fell pregnant. Sheila realises that one of Russell's sons was not his and Fay begs her to keep it a secret. She then leaves town without saying goodbye. Fay returns when Sheila tells Mark, Aaron and Tyler the truth. Fay reveals that she had the affair while she and Russell were going through a rough patch in their marriage, so she knew the baby was not Russell's. She then tells Tyler he is not Russell's son and that his father's name is Hamish Roche (Sean Taylor). Fay apologises to Tyler, but he asks her to leave. At The Waterhole, Fay tells Sheila that without her, she might not have had the courage to tell Tyler the truth. Mark and Aaron tell her that it might take some time before Tyler can forgive her, and Fay returns to Adelaide.

text: Fay later returns, at Mark's request. She sees Louise Macleod in a coma at Erinsborough Hospital and recognises her as a nurse who cared for her late husband, Russell, at Port Lincoln Hospital.

Tyler Brennan

text: Hamish Roche, played by Sean Taylor, made his first appearance on 4 September 2017.[36] The character's introduction was announced on 16 August 2017,[37] while Taylor's casting details were announced on 28 August 2017.[36] Hamish is Tyler Brennan's (Travis Burns) biological father, who arrives shortly after Tyler's mother Fay Brennan (Zoe Bertram) reveals that she had an affair, while married to Russell Brennan (Russell Kiefel).[36] Bridget McManus of The Sydney Morning Herald described Taylor as being "marvellously suave" in his role of Hamish Roche.[38] She also called the character a "smooth operator", and thought he worked "a little too hard" in his attempt to bond with Tyler and his brothers.[38] McManus found the mystery of why he has a playing card in his wallet to be a "complicated familial conundrum on which soaps thrive".[38] Hamish was killed off on 7 November 2017.[39]

text: While he is in The Waterhole, Hamish notices Tyler Brennan playing pool and joins him for a game. He later turns up at Number 24 and introduces himself, and Tyler realises that Hamish is his father. He tells him to leave. Tyler's brother Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) confronts Hamish, who states that he wants to get to know his son. Tyler later visits Hamish at Lassiter's with his girlfriend Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel) and they talk. Hamish accepts Tyler's invitation to dine at The Waterhole with him and his brothers, Mark and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson). Hamish reveals that he never met their father Russell, but it emerges that he has the missing ace of spades playing card sent to him by Russell. Hamish gets to know Sheila Canning (Colette Mann). Hamish visits the boat Russell left to Tyler and Aaron, and encourages him to leave a message for Russell on his voicemail, like Aaron is doing. Hamish later pulls out Russell's phone and listens to Tyler's message. Hamish asks if he can stay on the boat, as he does not like the noise from the renovations at the hotel. Hamish continues to charm Sheila, before he meets up with his partner Louise McLeod (Maria Theodorakis) to tell her that he is working hard to secure the boat, so they can leave the country and avoid paying a large tax bill. He also plans to bring Tyler with them. When Tyler tells Hamish of his plans to sell the boat, Hamish convinces him to keep it and fix the engine himself.

text: Hamish learns about Tyler's history at the garage and that he is on his last chance with the boss. Hamish takes Tyler's keys to the garage and sabotages the mobile hoist, which later falls on Amy Williams, resulting in Tyler's dismissal from the garage. Hamish tells Amy that he will donate $200,000 to her Wellness Centre. When Sheila drops by the boat, she finds Russell's phone, but Hamish tells her it is his and then kisses her. Louise turns up unexpectedly and thinks they are ready to go, but Hamish wants to wait until Tyler has his boat licence. He convinces Louise to return to Port Lincoln. Hamish learns about Russell's abuse of Tyler. He starts putting doubts in Tyler's head about Mark's temper and tries goading Mark into violence. He manipulates Tyler into abandoning his brothers, and employs T-Bone to create fake texts that imply Piper has been cheating on Tyler with him. Hamish invites an increasingly isolated Tyler to join him on a trip overseas using the boat. When Louise becomes convinced that Hamish will betray her, she threatens to expose the fact that they worked together to get Russell to change his will, stole the original version, and murdered him. To stop her, Hamish poisons her with peanut oil, causing an anaphylactic reaction that leaves her comatose. However Mark and Sheila uncover clues to Hamish's true agenda, and Louise eventually awakens and steals the boat, also leaving information for Tyler, revealing Hamish's bankruptcy and the extent of his crimes. On the night of the Guy Fawkes Gala, Tyler confronts Hamish and they get into an argument, during which Tyler accuses Hamish of killing Russell, which he does not deny. The next morning Hamish is found dead in the hot tub of the Canning's family home by Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner), and tests reveal that he was murdered.

document_title: Jason Gideon

question_text: what episode does jason gideon die in criminal minds

text: Jason Gideon

text: Background[edit]

text: Gideon was the protege of Max Ryan, who taught him everything he knew about profiling, but he didn't escape the hazing of being a new recruit. One of Gideon's earliest cases was a bomber case, which was supervised by Max. As a prank for the new member, Max and the other investigators involved planted a list of the FBI director's whereabouts over the next 48 hours in the bomber's car for Gideon to find. When he found it, before Max could stop him, Gideon rushed up 25 flights of stairs and interrupted a meeting between the director and the U.S. Attorney General in an attempt to save him.E115

text: While investigating the case of Adrian Bale, a.k.a. "The Boston Shrapnel Bomber", Gideon had reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown after he sent six men into a warehouse before Bale detonated a bomb inside. All six agents and a hostage were killed, and he was heavily criticized about the event. He took a six-month medical leave because he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Upon his return from medical leave, he was given the Senior Agent position, as Hotch was confirmed as Unit Chief. Not much is known about his personal life, other than he has a son named Stephen, with whom he was estranged because of his commitment to his job.

text: Characterization[edit]

text: Through the first two seasons, Gideon was portrayed to be very good at chess, winning against Reid many times (only exception being Reid's birthdayE104) and encouraging him to "think outside the box". Prior to the series, he was said to have had a "nervous breakdown" (or "major depressive episode") after he sent six men into a warehouse with a bomb in it; all six agents were killed, and he was heavily criticized about the event. He showed particular dislike for the practice of using religion as a defense or motivation for one's crimes. Gideon participated in some field operations during his time with the BAU and had the rest of his team "think outside the box" as well, as he made a major advancement by shouting at the top of his lungs with pleas of mercy and, when questioned by his team, he said that the victims were being threatened to be kept quiet as neighbors would have heard the pleas if they were unrestrained. He blamed himself for the torture Reid received from Tobias Hankel as he had ordered Penelope Garcia to add a virus warning to the videos Hankel posted.E215 Gideon also had a son named Stephen.E111 The nature of their relationship has not been directly stated, but it was implied that they have not seen each other very recently. Gideon also has an obsession for birds and bird-watching.

text: The character of Jason Gideon was partially based on real-life criminal profiler John E. Douglas, one of the founders of modern Behavioral Science.[2]

text: Relationships[edit]

text: He helped Derek Morgan and Spencer Reid through their nightmares. He was shown to have a very close relationship with Reid, having hand-picked him from the FBI Academy for his team, helping Reid through many difficulties (including his implied drug use), and even leaving the good-bye letter for Reid to find. Gideon did not know Garcia well, as expressed through an episode wherein he is placed with her while he is on crutches; after they are placed, Garcia complains about him, and he doesn't know her name.

text: Storylines[edit]

text: In the show's first episode, "Extreme Aggressor", Gideon was called back to work to help profile a killer, called "The Seattle Strangler" by the media, who abducts women and holds them prisoner before strangling them and dumping their bodies. After solving the case of the Seattle Strangler, Gideon is seen at an old-fashioned gas station in Dumfries, Virginia. While inside, Gideon notices that the cashier fits his profile of the Footpath Killer, a serial killer he had been investigating prior to being called in for the Seattle Strangler case. The man notices Gideon's gun and threatens him with a shotgun, insisting that he tell him who he is. When Gideon reveals he is with the FBI, the gunman gets even more agitated. Gideon then tells the man that he can tell him the one thing no one has ever been able to tell him: why he stutters. However, Gideon did not truly know the answer but was merely trying to provoke a stutter in order to distract the killer. The killer forced Gideon down a hall and into a small room full of pictures of his many victims, an amount that was more than law enforcement had found. Gideon intentionally demeans and insults the killer, increasingly agitating him and making his stutter worse. He takes his eyes off Gideon just long enough for him to grab the gun and subdue the killer.

text: In "Won't Get Fooled Again", a copycat bomber uses the methods of serial bomber Adrian Bale (the same criminal who committed the warehouse bombing that killed his six colleagues), and Gideon has to face his past and Bale, to find out who the bomber is and stop him. After saving the lives of more agents from a suicide bombing, Gideon was forced to make a deal with Bale to have him help them get a bomb off of an innocent man. When Gideon realizes that Bale is lying about how dismantle it, he calls his bluff, saving them all from a bomb going off. He then has the pleasure of returning Bale to prison, the burden of the six agents' deaths presumably gone, even mocking him while he was being placed in a cell by using Bale's own words ("[A]n emotional release") in a sentence; he states that he finds it an emotional release in putting away criminals like Bale.

text: In "No Way Out", Gideon faces the scariest and most evil serial killer in his entire career, Frank Breitkopf. The BAU had received a call from Georgia Davis, the Sheriff of the Golconda Sheriff's Department, who had recently found two murder victims, both missing their right rib bones, similar to a case that took place in 1996. However, Gideon realized that this unsub has been killing for thirty years. After studying one of the murder victims, he determined that the unsub has extensive medical knowledge, his victims are alive when he cut off their limbs, and that he uses Ketamine to immobilize his victims. With this information, Gideon and the team were able to build a profile of the killer. In order to find the unsub, the Sheriff's Department set up a road-block looking for an RV, truck, or trailer, which was believed was the killer's mode of transportation.

text: Gideon later noticed that something was bothering Sheriff Davis, and she told him that the profile the BAU gave them reminded her of the experience made by a local named Jane Hanratty, a.k.a. Crazy Jane. Jane had encountered the unsub thirty years ago when her car broke down, but she believed that an alien had abducted her; she survived the abduction. Gideon knew that the unsub allowed Jane to survive because she wasn't scared of him. Eventually, Gideon discovered Frank in Fat Sam's Diner and Deputy Silo told Gideon he had fifteen minutes to negotiate with the unsub. Frank tells them that he had left the schoolchildren in the middle of a desert, and that if he gets Jane, he will tell them where they are. Gideon makes a deal with Frank: he and Jane will come with him if he takes them to where the children are. Frank happily agrees to that. After they pick up Jane and deliver her to Frank, Gideon drives the two to the desert and drops them off, to which Frank tells Gideon where the children are. Frank and Jane then walk off while Gideon runs in the opposite way and finds the children, all unharmed. Gideon and Hotch try to follow Frank's tracks, but they suddenly disappear in the desert.

text: In "No Way Out II: The Evilution of Frank", while Gideon is trying to make up his mind about what flowers to buy his friend, Sarah Jacobs, he sees Jane. When he looks up again, she has disappeared. Gideon then receives a call from Frank, who is in Gideon's apartment, having murdered Sarah. He demands to have Jane back before hanging up. When the BAU begin to investigate, Gideon contacts Hotch from a payphone and tells him that Frank dumped something in the trash on the street, later revealed to be bloody clothing. During the investigation, it is deduced that Frank is hunting down people Gideon previously rescued. Frank later kills one such person, Rebecca Bryant, who was abducted by Randall Garner and held captive for two years before being rescued by the BAU. Later, Tracy Belle, the sole survivor of Jeffrey Charles, goes missing. Gideon and Garcia are later able to figure out that the only story that moved Frank the first time Gideon met him was the body of a woman who was found in an apartment on the Upper East Side of New York City because he was talking about his mother. Gideon then realizes that Frank was hiding his mother's existence from everyone. Later, the team manages to find Frank, who is calmly sitting on a bench at the Union Train Station, waiting for them to bring him Jane. The team brings in Jane, who refuses to go with Frank. Gideon shows up and tells Frank about Sarah, Frank's mother, whom Gideon claims was a whore. As Gideon and Hotch describe Frank's mother, JJ and Reid locate Tracy, who is bound and gagged but alive and unharmed. Frank convinces Jane to come back to him, and the two commit suicide. Later, Tracy calls Gideon and thanks him for saving her once again.

text: Departure and Death[edit]

text: Gideon began to lose confidence in his profiling skills after Frank Breitkopf murdered his girlfriend, Sarah Jacobs. During his final case in Arizona, he further lost faith in his abilities when his decision to release the unsub resulted in the deaths of both the unsub and a young woman. As a result of his actions, Aaron Hotchner was suspended, which was the final straw for Gideon. He then left his cabin shortly afterwards, leaving his gun and badge behind along with a letter for Reid to find as he sought to regain a belief in happy endings. He then leaves and begins traveling abroad. Gideon is last seen going into a Nevada diner to make an order. When asked by a waitress where he is going, he replies that he doesn't know where he was going or how he would know when he got there. He then leaves the diner and subsequently drives off in his vehicle.

text: In the season ten episode "Nelson's Sparrow", Gideon was murdered off-screen, having been shot dead at a close range by a serial killer named Donnie Mallick (Arye Gross), which prompts the BAU team to investigate Gideon's murder. During the flashbacks focusing on a young version of him for the episode which show him working at the BAU in 1978, he is played by Ben Savage.
