Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 ended with a cliffhanger and many questions that should be addressed in the next season. The season finale picked up where Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2, episode 9 left off, with Jade triggering an explosion at Aida Limited’s serial killer training campground. Every time the BAU seemed to have finally cracked the “Gold Star” conspiracy theory, a plot twist revealed there was even more for the team to uncover. This was the focus of the Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 finale, which brought back an important season 1 storyline.

Though the season 2 finale provided major answers surrounding the case, it opened up a huge question about whether an original Criminal Minds: Evolution character is really dead. Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1 also ended on a cliffhanger that was fortunately resolved early on in season 2. This will hopefully be the case with Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3, which is already in production. The Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 finale left a lot for viewers to be excited about. It was a thrilling episode with many twists and turns that had viewers on the edge of their seats.

Was Voit Killed At The End Of Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2?

Voit Was Attacked By Two Men While In Prison

Elias Voit is one of the most important characters in Criminal Minds: Evolution. He was first introduced as Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1’s main villain, “Sicarius,” and continued to be a nuisance for the BAU team in season 2. Even imprisonment didn’t stop Voit from playing his mind games and working with the “Gold Star” team by supplying them with information and tools to fuel the “North Star” conspiracy theory.

Voit continued to play a major role in the Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 finale, as the BAU team was forced to work with him once again to help save Emily. In exchange for help finding Emily, Voit asked to be placed in the general population at his new prison. This was an odd request, as he enjoys being alone. However, they complied with his orders, leaving him in the general population under his birth name, Lee Duval.

Yet, two prisoners somehow found out his true identity and attacked him. Whether Voit survived the attack at the end of Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 is the biggest question that needs answering next season. It also raises the question of why Voit wanted to be with the general population, how the prisoners knew his real name, and whether he staged the attack. Voit likes to play the victim. If he survived, being attacked could work in his favor. Additionally, a past scene with Rossi suggests he could have been the one who leaked his name to the prisoners.

How Peter Finally Tied Gold Star Back To Douglas Bailey In Criminal Minds: Evolution

Peter Is Douglas Bailey’s Younger Brother

The big cliffhanger at the end of Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1 was who/what was “Gold Star.” The concept was first introduced by FBI Assistant Director Douglas Bailey, who became an ally of the BAU. Bailey’s knowledge about “Gold Star” also got him killed when he confronted Voit alone in the Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1 finale. While the truth behind “Gold Star” was revealed earlier in this season, Bailey’s connection to the program wasn’t fully uncovered until Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2.

By the start of the Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 finale, every “Gold Star” program member had appeared except for Peter B. When he did appear, it was revealed that the B. stood for Bailey, and Peter was Douglas Bailey’s younger brother. Thus, Douglas knew about the “Gold Star” program, the conspiracy theories Peter and the others got involved with, and had worked to stop them. He was unsuccessful, but he trusted the BAU team to pick up where he left off.
