At the end of criminal minds: evolution season 2, was Elias Voit killed?
First shown as the main villain "Sicarius" in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1, Elias Voit stayed a pain in the side of the BAU squad in season 2. Even incarceration didn't stop him from engaging in mental games or working with the "Gold Star" team providing tools and knowledge to advance the "North Star" conspiracy theory. The BAU had to collaborate with Voit once more in the season 2 finale in order to save Emily. Voit's unusual request for someone who prefers solitude—that of being included in the main population of his new prison—was granted. Two prisoners, seeing his actual identity, attacked him, though. Season 3's key unresolved mystery is Voit's survival following this attack: viewers must speculate if he planned the attack, why he wanted to be among the general population, and how the prisoners learned his true name. Given Voit's inclination for playing the victim, a staged attack would help him; a past scene with Rossi suggests he might have leaked Voit's name to the prisoners.
How Peter At Last Tied Gold Star Back To Douglas Bailey In Criminal Minds: Evolution
Season 2 completely untangled the season 1 cliffhanger, the identity of "Gold Star." Although the program's existence was first made public, until season 2 the link to Douglas Bailey, an FBI Assistant Director who became ally of the BAU, remained unclear. Knowing "Gold Star" caused Bailey to die when he encountered Voit alone in the season 1 finale. Peter B. turned out to be Douglas Bailey's younger brother in the season 2 finale, so establishing the relationship. The revelation confirmed Douglas's knowledge of the "Gold Star" program and the conspiracy theories Peter and the others participated in as well as his attempts to halt them. Bailey had tried to reach Peter by video messages, but Aida Limited changed them such that Peter felt he was a victim of the conspiracy. Blaming Voit, Peter and Jade accused Emily of killing Douglas when they abducted her in the season 2 finale. But a Voit confession video examined with his own software turned out the truth: Voit had killed Douglas rather than Emily. Emily was cleared by the video, which also made Peter and Jade turn themselves in to the FBI therefore guaranteeing the lives of every member of the BAU team.
Why would Rossi Kept Hallucinating? Asking Questions About Gold Star
Rossi's recurrent Voit hallucinations in season 2 have grown to be a major narrative point. Although not the first unsub to impact Rossi, Voit's impact is especially strong most likely because of his attempt to assassinate Rossi and his possible escape from prison for his crimes as "Sicarius." Following her survival of the explosion at Aida Limited, Rossi started having hallucinations of Voit asking, "Do you ever think if I hadn't opened my mouth about Gold Star, none of this would have happened?" Emphasizing Voit's claim to be the mastermind behind the "Gold Star" events, this question cropped up again in the season 2 finale Rossi's conviction in unresolved issues with them drives his propensity to hallucinate unsubs. His dream of Voit in the last scene enabled him to find Voit's manipulation and expose his trap-like "help."
The Truth behind BAU-Gate In Criminal Minds: Evolution Justified
Voit purposefully tried to get under her skin by creating the "BAU-Gate" website, a pornography site including deepfake JJ videos. In the season 2 climax, he sought to once more take advantage of this weakness. Driven by her anxiety, JJ looked at the site and found that some of the films featured his wife Sydney with JJ's face overlaid. Voit's covert filming of Sydney without permission and his family guy image could have terrible effects on him. Should he be charged with non-consensual pornography, he would register as a sex offender, rendering him a target in custody.
How Criminal Minds sets up Season 3 from Evolution Season 2.
Although the season 2 conclusion had many unresolved issues, fortunately the show has been revived for season 3. The main issue to be answered in season three is Voit's survival of the jail attack. Given his possible survival, especially now that his identify has been disclosed, his future in prison presents opportunities. Should he be alive, he is probably going to be a major participant in season three. Tyler's application for the profiler post also marks another important change implying a possible team dynamic shift. Emily's meeting with FBI Director Madison seemed to suggest a probable rise in the BAU's budget and authority in season 3, so addressing their long-standing financial problems. Emily's bargaining with Madison about Peter and Jade—who she views as victims—may result in their continuing presence in season 3.
