The BAU has a promising lead on Gold Star after the latest episode of Criminal Minds. However, the team is initially divided. Rossi, haunted by hallucinations of Voit, heads to Nevada with Tara to investigate two suspicious deaths. Prentiss grapples with Brian Garrity’s false accusations.
JJ and Luke support Voit’s wife and daughters through their emotional turmoil, which includes a startling outburst from his eldest child. Meanwhile, Garcia reluctantly teams up with Tyler to try to decrypt the phone of the individual who funded the unsuccessful strike team.
Tara discovers an important detail – the UnSub appears to be a woman, deviating from the BAU’s profile of Gold Star as male. This revelation coincides with the discovery that both Nevada victims worked at Stuart House, the same facility where Aiden, a previous UnSub, resided. Meanwhile, a third victim falls prey to this new UnSub, later revealed to be Jade and her abusive father.
While Gold Star operates with meticulous precision, these killings seem driven by raw emotion and a shared trauma. The BAU recognizes the link back to Stuart House, suggesting a connection between Gold Star and this new, vengeful UnSub.
Garcia initially rebuffs Tyler’s attempt to decrypt Sebastian’s phone. However, when Tyler fills in Prentiss and Rossi on his findings, Garcia agrees to help. A challenging password emerges, forcing Garcia to swallow her pride and enlist Tyler’s assistance due to his past with Sebastian.
Tyler manages to successfully decode the phone, uncovering a startling secret that profoundly impacts Prentiss. Recognizing his past mistakes, he offers a sincere apology and vows to respect her boundaries going forward, acknowledging his own shortcomings.
