<P> Prentiss immediately bonds with Agent Derek Morgan due to their mutual love of Kurt Vonnegut books and they develop a close relationship . Their strong bond is most evident in the episodes leading up to and after Prentiss's death . Morgan is able to detect that Prentiss is worried about something and tries to get her to tell him what is bothering her . He also feels betrayed when Prentiss does not reveal the extent of her involvement with Doyle and the case and assumes she does not trust him enough . Rossi later tries to reason with him that Prentiss is merely trying to protect the BAU team . Morgan is also with Prentiss, holding her, when she is dying after being seriously injured by Doyle, and tells her that he understands what she did, and that she is brave, and he is proud of her . When he believes she has died, Morgan takes her death quite hard and expresses anger toward Doyle . When Emily returns to the BAU in season 7, Morgan shows concern for her safety and ability to protect herself in the field by making her sign up for re-certification . </P> <P> Over time, she also forms a close relationship with Agent Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, especially when they are the only two female agents in the BAU in the field for several seasons . When Prentiss has to fake her death for the team's safety, JJ is the only one (aside from Hotchner) who knows the truth . JJ also flies to Paris and is involved in getting fake passports and setting up bank accounts for Prentiss to stay incognito . JJ expresses the most happiness when Prentiss came back from the dead and tells Prentiss how much she has missed her while she was gone . Prentiss later mentions to Hotchner that while she was away from the BAU and work, she played a lot of online Scrabble with someone with the online moniker "cheetobreath", implying it was JJ keeping her company . In the rare moments outside work, JJ and Prentiss have been seen having conversations about children and the men, or lack thereof, in Prentiss's life . Prentiss was also the first to congratulate JJ when she revealed she was pregnant with Henry . </P> <P> After Spencer Reid returns to work following his abduction by serial killer Tobias Hankel, Prentiss experiences a falling out with the young agent due to his harsh behavior toward her (a function of the irritability resulting from Reid's use of narcotics to cope with his recent trauma). However, the agents eventually gain a mutual respect and even share light - hearted moments . Prentiss sometimes joins in with Morgan in good - natured teasing of Reid's genius . She also amazes Reid when she beats him at poker even though he is from Las Vegas and never loses . Another turning point in their relationship is when Prentiss and Reid are held captive by a cult group and Prentiss admits she is the FBI agent, causing her to suffer a beating from the cult leader . As a result, Reid feels guilty, but Prentiss reassures him everything is all right and that is not his fault . Prentiss is also the only one Reid tells about his recurring headaches . Reid is one of the most affected by Prentiss's death, sobbing on JJ's shoulder because he never got to say goodbye, and even thought about giving up since he felt the BAU had failed at protecting a member of their team . Later, when Prentiss comes back, Reid feels betrayed by Prentiss for not telling him the truth, but Prentiss confronts him and they eventually reconcile . </P> <P> Prentiss is often seen hanging out with Jareau and Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia outside of work . Garcia looks up to Prentiss and never fails to vocalize her admiration, whether it is for Prentiss's fluency in Arabic, wit or the fact she took up salsa dancing classes . Garcia also notes that after four years with the team, Prentiss is a part of the "BAU family;" they hold a close friendship . </P>
