Tabula Rasa
She first appears at the hospital after being informed that serial killer Brian Matloff has awakened from a four year coma. Cece decides to call the BAU team because Agents Hotchner, Rossi and Reid worked the case four years ago. Cece welcomes her friend Hotch at the hospital, Hotch asks her what is her plan and she says that she plans to get Matloff to the chair and bring justice to the victims and their families. Then they both go to Matloff's room where she and Hotch are informed that Matloff suffers from amnesia because of the fall he had four years ago that put him into the coma, she is furious because it will be more difficult to prove the murders but nonetheless she is determined to bring justice to the victims with or without physical evidence. During the trial she uses Hotch as the main witness for the prosecution and asks the judge permission to use a photographic test on Matloff with the intention of regaining his memories. Cece and Hotch watch as the test is being made on Matloff.

The next day at the trial she gives a passionate speech about the victims on how they didn't deserve that kind of death and that their families deserve to have closure; that the man who killed their daughters is in jail paying for his crimes and that he is not out there free to commit more murders. After Matloff regains his memory he escapes and Cece helps the BAU team in finding him. At the end of the episode Matloff pleads guilty and is incarcerated.
