This ep is actually famously known amongst CrimMins because of that inconsistency with Reid. You can't brag about having an eidetic every two seconds and not remember someone as vivid as Garcia. Def a hiccup in writing! 

So, watching Season 3, episode 19, they flash backwards four years to show scenes of the episode’s unsub when he was first arrested. It’s Garcia’s first day, and Morgan asks Reid what her name is. Reid says “Gomez, or something.”

You’re telling me this man can remember a poem he read 20 years ago, and not the name of someone he just met?
