Answer: Aaron Hotchner
The opening scene of "Omnivore" shows Hotch visiting Tom Shaunessy, a retired detective he once worked with on the Boston Reaper case. The older man is on his death bed, and tells Hotch that he did have a reason for shutting "down the investigation" into the Reaper "without an arrest" all those years ago. Indeed in order to stop the murders he made a "deal with the devil", the Boston Reaper himself; a contract was struck between them, which read "If you stop hunting me, I'll stop hunting them. For as long as we both shall live." Of course now that Tom Shaunessy is dying, it is likely that the Reaper will re-appear, a fact that is all too clear to both Hotch and the retired detective.

Answer: Adrian Bale
Gideon's arch nemesis, we found out in this episode, was Adrian Bale. The BAU had encountered him in another state sometime in the past, but it wasn't actually Bale who was the bomber this time. As a matter of fact, it was a man who forged what Bale did, in other words it was a copy cat. The BAU found out that Bale and the forger had been communicating and that Bale had told him that if they ever found him to not go in because he said his greatest regret was giving in and going with the cops. Gideon went to talk to Bale when the forger had strapped a man into a bomb and sent him into the police station. This is after the fact that the forger blew himself up because they found him and the forger decided to listen to Bale and die rather than go with the cops. Gideon and Bale had made a deal that if Gideon confessed to what he had done all those years ago when it was Bale they were after, and then he would help them. Gideon complied and Bale told them to cut the red wire. Gideon told them to cut the blue wire because he had remembered his earlier visit that day with Bale. Bale had said that if he ever had the chance to create another huge explosion (pressing the button) he would have to do it. The deal made with the cops was void and therefore Bale went back into lock up.
Author's Note: What Gideon did "all those years ago" was they had had Bale cornered and Bale said that he would come out and surrender peacefully which he did. See here's where the problem came in... Gideon, after Bale had come out, had sent in six agents. Bale still had the remote for the bomb in his pocket and he blew up those six agents. Gideon had never searched him but had "dared him", as Bale had put it, to push the button and he had.

Answer: Flat tyres
It is unclear whether or not the Boston Reaper is responsible for the two flat tyres that lead to the death of the vehicle's occupants. Nevertheless, he certainly takes full advantage of it, posing as a good Samaritan who steps in to save the stranded couple. While the female passenger calls AAA and the male driver attempts to remove one of the vehicle's tyres, the Boston Reaper makes his move, brutally beating his male victim about the head with a tyre iron. He then moves on to the terrified female passenger, pressing a gun to her forehead, before calmly telling her "This won't hurt".
