Everyone is starting to crack in the Gold Star case in Criminal Minds: Evolution. That certainly seemed to be the case for Rossi in the latest episode, but he may have also managed to crack the case.
The latest episode saw Rossi suffer from nightmares and hallucinations. He had to face the reason for them all. It was time to see Voit to get some answers about this North Star conspiracy.
Voit wasn’t all that clear, but Rossi was able to figure things out through some clues. Now we finally understand why Dr. Gideon, Jason’s estranged wife, will turn up in the season. It all goes back to events from 30 years ago.
What is North Star in Criminal Minds: Evolution?
Voit likes to show how smart he is, and he does that through explaining things with riddles and making other people put clues together. That happened in the latest episode. After initially getting the BAU to tell him the difference between conspiracies and conspiracy theories, he now compared conspiracy theories to side game quests in video games.
He also explained that in video games, you go up against a big boss and then the cycle repeats. Well for Damien and Jade, the big boss is the BAU.
Yes, North Star is the BAU, and it’s all because of a paper Gideon and Rossi almost published a paper about youths with psychopathic traits. They were going to explain how these youths could end up becoming serial killers. However, the two profilers realized that this was a recipe for disaster. It was showing how to make it possible, and that wasn’t what they wanted.
Someone ended up with that paper, though. Whoever did get it, created the Gold Star Program, with BAU as the biggest target of the lot. It’s only a matter of time before Damien and Jade figure out that the BAU is North Star. That is if Voit hasn’t already told them.
After all, we know Voit and Damien spoke in private. Nobody else knows about this yet, and we still have no idea what Voit told Damien. Did Voit send Damien to his final video game target? That’s something we’ll need to find out as the season continues.
