Mine are when when Penelope displays the messages to the kidnapped IT guy for the assassin ring, when Alvez tells Shaw that he's being transferred to a Michigan prison, when Reid tells Cat to "watch me", and when Tara tells Melissa "that is a magic bullet".

"Watch me" is one of my favourite moments of the entire series.
Also really loved the moment in 'Green Light' where Reid steps out into the daylight on the outside of the prison and first sees Garcia and her reaction to his release. Clutching hands tightly, 'let's go find my mother'//'yeah!'
agreed with you, also think 'I hear they're *pause for emphasis* excited to see you' from Alvez to Shaw is a YESSSS!!!!!!!! moment :)
The Replicator storyline wasn't my favorite, but Rossi's "Zugwang" to him right before trapping the Replicator in his own trap was pretty cool.
Same goes for Strauss' posthumous trap that allowed the BAU to identify him.
You also have to cheer on Reid both times he outsmarted Cat Adams.
season 9 episode 23 the intense gun fight where the coke addicted preacher pimp takes everyone out
Technically outside your range of Seasons, but still later and an underrated episode.
During the last third of Hostage in Season 11, when the girl starts shouting "My name is Amelia!" and finally breaks free of the brainwashing from her kidnapper.
That was a good ending, especially when the other girls were found and the unsub was told that he should've taken the deal.
Idk that episode felt very exploitative to me somehow. It came out soon after the Ariel Castro story broke and had many elements obviously taken from there. It made me uneasy, like they turned a gore real life story into entertainment. "Hope" was somewhat the same in that it came out a while after the Jaycee Lee Dugard story broke(also has some similarities like the fact that the girl was targeted). Grey's Anatomy also had an episode like that. It's almost like they came to the conclusion that these "stories" were "in fashion" and they just had to get at least one in. Maybe I'm wrong but that was just my impression and I'm uncomfortable rewatching those episodes not because of the topic but because of that exploitation vibe.
