Agent Jordan Todd briefly replaces JJ as the BAU's media liaison while JJ is on maternity leave. Her training is truncated when JJ goes into labor during the Todd's first case with the BAU. Todd embarrasses herself and earns Hotchner's wrath when he catches her flat out lying to a victim's family to encourage them to allow the BAU access to the victim's sister. She later redeems herself in the same episode. She does her work to the best of her capabilities but very quickly realizes that the BAU, while vital, is a section she simply isn't equipped to continue to work in. She greatly admires the profilers but finds the work she is asked to do overwhelming. JJ returns early from maternity leave and Todd returns to counter terrorism.
