Lila Archer

Lila Archer appeared in Somebody's Watching.

History
Not much has been revealed about Lila's past. It is mentioned that she went to college at the Juilliard School and at one point briefly shared an apartment with her friend and future stalker Maggie Lowe. After graduating, she became a waitress and lived on Houston Street before becoming a professional actress. As of 2006 (Somebody's Watching), she had a role in Emotional Cages, a TV series about beach volleyball. She got Maggie a job on the show. Around this time, Maggie had started killing potential threats to her career without her knowledge. In the beginning of Somebody's Watching, she met Spencer Reid at an art gallery and became attracted to him. When Maggie killed Lila's manager, Michael Ryer, Reid was assigned to protect her in her house. The same night, Lila dragged Reid into the house's pool and started kissing him. Reid, suffering from a bad conscience, told her about Michael's death. She felt betrayed, but was somewhat comforted when Jason Gideon informed her that Reid was ordered not to tell about it by him. Maggie later snuck into Lila's house and held her and Reid at gunpoint, but Reid was able to stop her. There was still some hints of a romance between Reid and Lila at the end of the episode, but nothing appears to have come of it. She was, however, mentioned, though not by name, in Catching Out. She is mentioned again in The Performer, where Reid avoids saying what happened between them when asked, redirecting the conversation back to the case at hand.
