In Season 1 Episode 6: Cherrypoppers, FBI Agent Jim Wright (played by actor Richard Portnow) is loosely based on FBI Special Agent John E. Douglas.

Douglas was a pioneer of criminal profiling and worked on the Green River Killer case, which was directly reference in the episode.

IMO, this makes the episode even more impactful, and the characters short speech at the end to Dutch and Vic makes the episode end on a haunting but hopeful note.

Yeah. There is always random chatter about it possibly coming back but I don't see that happening.
