Two men in prison attacked Elias Voit
The notorious serial killer, Elias Voit, who was the main focus of the earlier season, spends most of his time in prison in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2. His cooperation becomes a vital factor in unraveling the mystery around the Gold Star case, which is the central part of Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2.
Earlier, he was moved from a high-security prison to a low-security prison but kept in solitary confinement. In the finale, he negotiates with the BAU to shift him from a solitary cell to a general population in exchange for his help.
The demand was unusual for him, as he isn't someone who likes socialization. The decision proves to be detrimental for him, as he's attacked by two men in the prison, who somehow figured out his identity. Voit is brutally assaulted and left to die, but if he's really dead or just injured is left on a cliffhanger.
Jade shoots Frank Church in the head
It was previously revealed that Aida Limited CEO Frank Church hired a strike team to erase the members of Gold Star, but it wasn't successful. So he took the task upon himself and got Jade to do the work for him.
Jade found out Frank's reason behind his relentless pursuit and how he was directly responsible for inflicting pain upon innocents like herself. She kidnapped Frank along with Emily and tied them to a chair in a secret location.
Jade asked them to confess their crimes or else she would shoot them. The first one to fall was Frank whom Jade accused of pedophilia and pressed him to confess. He got furious and denied it, but that didn't stop her from shooting him directly in the head.
Emily finds the truth about the Bailey brothers in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 finale
After killing Frank, Jade interrogates Emily about her crimes and asks for a confession without actually telling her what she's accused of. Emily remained unfazed by the threats and demanded to know the charges against her and the evidence backing it.
Jade brings a projector and plays a video that reveals that one of the Gold Star members, Peter B., is actually Peter Baily, the younger brother of FBI deputy director Doug Bailey. The projector plays several clips in which Doug tries to reach his younger brother through a bunch of video messages, but the videos were altered by Aida Limited.
Peter and Jade believed it was Emily who killed Doug and blamed it on Voit to cover herself. However, the accusation is proven false when Voit's confession video is run through Silver Buller, a program that can find out if a clip has been altered through Deepfake.
Every BAU team member survived Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2
Peter and Jade try their hardest to make Emily confess to the crimes she hasn't committed.
They tortured her multiple times with the taser sticks that were used against them in confinement. Emily confesses to hating Doug initially due to his bureaucratic behavior. She also tells them how she began to admire him and got inspired by him.
The FBI team reaches the location, but it's revealed that Peter and Jade plan to kill themselves and the entire BAU team through heavy explosives. Thankfully, the video of Voit's confession proved that he killed Doug and not Emily.
The duo frees Emily and surrenders themselves to the BAU agents. So unlike the norm, no member of the Unit was killed in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 finale.
Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2 ends on a cliffhanger
While escorting Voit to the prison, JJ tells him about her shocking findings about her deepfake pornographic videos on the BAU-Gate website. Voit made those videos to mess with her head in the previous season.
She found out that Voit had non-consensually filmed his own wife Sidney during se*ual activities, replaced her face with JJ's and put it on the website. Voit's reaction to the accusation proves that JJ was right, and if this is revealed, Voit would become a target in the prison being a s*x offender.
The attack on Voit in the last moments of Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 has left the show on a cliffhanger. If he survives, he might get a greater role in the upcoming season. The secret behind BAU-Gate videos might be explored in the third season.
Apart from Voit, Jade and Peter could also stay around the BAU, considering that the threads around Gold Star are loose. Emily Prentiss also seems to be sympathetic towards them, which is always a bonus in the uncertain world of profilers and criminal minds.
Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 is available on Paramount+ for streaming.
