BAU Section Chief Erin Strauss is played by Jayne Atkinson. She is the direct superior of Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), who profiles her, revealing that she has three children, but favors her son, and she keeps a bonsai tree in her office to compensate for feelings of failure.A completely political agent, with no field experience, in the early seasons she targets Hotchner for removal. She claims that the team is disorganized, that Hotchner is ineffective at his job and a poor leader. As Hotchner consistently refutes her claims, she attempts to recruit Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) to her ends, but Prentiss refuses to be her spy. Strauss presses her agenda against Hotch until season 3, ep. 2, In Name and Blood , when she goes in the field and realizes that she cannot do his extremely difficult job. At that point, she admits a stalemate, but warns that none of the BAU team will move up the ranks. This seems to be refuted later, though.She finally seems to shelve her agenda regarding Hotchner after the tragic murder of his ex-wife at the hands of the Boston Reaper. That is the first time when she shows genuine compassion and consideration for him.By the end of season 6, all the animosity between Strauss and Hotchner seems to have vanished. Strauss is impressed by the way the team dealt with the deaths of Haley Hotchner and Emily Prentiss. In season 6, ep. 21, The Stranger , she takes some time off for personal reasons, which are yet to be revealed, and asks Hotchner to replace her during her absence. Show less «
