Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 episode 9 recap: The bureau is in danger of ruin

As a dedicated gamer and avid fan of Criminal Minds: Evolution, I have been on the edge of my seat throughout this season, especially as we approach the final episodes. The second season has been nothing short of compelling, and the recent developments in the storyline have kept me hooked.


As a dedicated gamer immersed in “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” I can’t help but feel exhilarated as we approach the final chapters of its captivating second season. The stakes have never been higher, with Elias Voit and Gold Star posing a formidable challenge to the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). It remains to be seen if our team will outmaneuver them and secure a hard-earned victory.

In the second-to-last episode, Jade encountered Dana, the long-lost team member of Gold Star. Dana appeared just as Jade was stopped by a police officer. Before the situation escalated, Dana intervened, injuring the officer. Desperate to send a message to the FBI, Jade then blinded him with her fingers.

She intended to inform the bureau that she was returning home to seek tranquility and requested they refrain from tailing her. The team surmised this signified a return to the source of it all. Despite enduring prolonged mistreatment, they had deeply instilled in her the belief that they were her sole support system.

Jade and Dana followed the clue left by Voit’s lawyer, which brought them to a hidden underground facility. This hideout contained valuable data about the BAU. However, before the BAU team could reach the site, impatient police officers entered the bunker unknowingly, triggering a dangerous trap filled with shrapnel.

Garcia uncovered the identity of the person financing the private security firm linked to Stuart House’s doctors. This individual turned out to be Frank Church, the head of Aida, Inc. Church paid a visit to the BAU team but prevented them from asking probing questions. However, Director Madison put an end to the interrogation before it continued.

Rebecca discovered that Bailey became aware that someone had learned about the white paper’s secret and was hindering the BAU’s investigation to shield them. It’s crucial for them to tread carefully when dealing with Church, as any hasty action might jeopardize the entire bureau.

At Aida’s latest facility, Jade and Dana visited to check on something that had been troubling them. However, it was evident that Dana remained uncertain about the recent events. Alone in the room, Church took Dana’s life with a fatal shot from behind.

Over time, Jade observed other children practicing and encountered a newcomer named Mila at the facility. Meanwhile, Garcia managed to uncover Mila’s missing person records and discovered CCTV footage indicating that a deputy had failed to report her whereabouts.

Following Jade’s attack, she devised a strategy to aid her companions in their exit as she prepared the facility’s walls with explosives. Meanwhile, the BAU team stood powerless outside, in possession of a search warrant but unable to gain entry.

When Church discovered that Mila and Jade were absent, he granted Emily and Dave entrance to the facility, none of them privy to Jade’s clandestine plans. As Jade prepared for what was imminent, she reached out to Mila with instructions to “rescue the children.”

Although Jade caused pain to many individuals, she herself was deeply affected by the Church and the institution that shaped her into the person she became. The program effectively elicits compassion from viewers, even with her past transgressions.

Although it’s uncertain if the facility will indeed blow up, there are numerous concerns that have surfaced, particularly regarding Voit. He remains confident that he may only serve five years in prison and is not deterred by the prospect, as he intends to go in using his real name, Lee Duval. However, will Sicarius prevail? Will the BAU endure if the facility does detonate? And lastly, where on earth is Peter, the lone remaining member of Gold Star yet to be apprehended?

In the finale of season 2, any of these questions could be resolved, or one might leave us hanging with a cliffhanger. Regardless, this episode packed a punch and left us emotionally invested in Jade’s story.

Prior to setting off with the team, Dave received a heartfelt farewell from Jill in the form of a loving kiss and words of encouragement. The significance of this tender moment remained unclear – whether it hinted at the blossoming of a romance or served as a reminder that someone cared deeply for him – but its sweetness added a comforting note to the tumultuous situation surrounding them all.

As a dedicated fan of crime dramas, I can’t contain my excitement about the latest addition to the Criminal Minds franchise, Evolution, now streaming on Paramount+. Every week, I look forward to Thursdays with anticipation as new episodes drop, providing me with another dose of intriguing investigations and complex character development.
