Beth Clemmons

Beth Clemmons is a minor character who appeared in Criminal Minds as a love interest for SSA Aaron Hotchner.

Background
Not much information has been disclosed about Beth's life prior to The Bittersweet Science, other than she had a father who would always say "Go big or go home". Her father passed away just a few months ago, but she and her mother had moved on.

The Bittersweet Science
Beth first encounters Hotch while both are training for their respective triathlons, coincidentally on the same route. When they stop at a park, Beth talks to Hotch and both realize that one another is participating in a triathlon. Having known about Hotch's biking skills beforehand, Beth asks him for some tips on how to ride one, as she isn't the best cyclist. Hotch agrees to let her know when he is available and she gives him a card before telling him she knew he was an FBI agent after seeing his suit. She then leaves.

After he returns from a case, Hotch meets up with Beth at the same park, where he learns about her father. Both smile at one another before Beth bikes off, with Hotch in pursuit.

Closing Time
Hotch and Beth continue training for their triathlons, and the latter cheats while they do a practice run. Hotch states that her cheating was "pathetic" before deciding to ask her out on a date, which she accepts. When Hotch returns after solving a case, he goes to Beth's house, where she greets him. Beth then kisses him on the lips before the two head out, signifying the start of a romantic relationship between the two.

A Family Affair
Beth is scheduled to reappear in A Family Affair.
