The BAU is called to Oklahoma to investigate a murderous clown terrorizing the sleepy town of Guymon.

The team heads to small town Guymon, Oklahoma to investigate a home invasion, burglary and murder of the homeowner, Mark Wilson. The unsub in the case had most recently committed similar crimes in a home in equally small town Campo, Colorado, killing the homeowner, Sam Franklin. Both victims were husbands and fathers, Caucasian, hard working midwestern types. Both men were severely beaten with something the unsub had found in the house, and had their mouths cut at the corners to be posed with an exaggerated smile. Also in both cases, the unsub had broke into the isolated home while it was empty, seemingly lying in wait for the victim in each situation to return home. In the Wilson situation, there is an eyewitness, the Wilsons' seven year old son, Dylan Wilson, who, before he stopped talking due to the trauma, said that the person who killed his father was dressed as a clown, which the team has to figure out is real or a manifestation of a clown phobia. As the unsub was probably aware of Dylan in the house, the team believes the unsub is specifically targeting strong male types. Garcia is able to discover other home invasions in Colorado prior to Franklin's murder which they believe to be tied to the case in that a clown-like smiley face was carved into the doors of each home located in an isolated area. As such, the team is able to determine that the unsub is traveling the back roads perhaps to some ultimate destination. Not only for his own welfare, the team hopes that Dylan will overcome this trauma to be able to speak again to provide more information that can lead them to the unsub.—Huggo

The team heads to Guymon, Oklahoma to investigate a murder and burglary caused by an unsub who disguised himself as a clown. The unsub has killed Mark Wilson the father of seven-year old, Dylan Wilson and the husband of Mia Wilson. The killing is similar to the one in Compo, Colorado when a husband and father, Sam Franklin has been killed by the same offender. Both of them were loving fathers and husbands, but they were also hardworking ranchers. At the hospital, Dylan gives Spencer and Matt an accurate description of the man who killed his father. The team soon realizes the unsub has an unwilling accomplice taking part in the crimes.—dawsonpersi
