“Criminal Minds: Evolution” follows an elite FBI team, known as BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit). Throughout the first season, the crew has faced their old nemesis, Elias Voit. There are loose ends to tie up before it ends, especially after David Rossi’s capture.

The Season 1 finale episode is titled “Dead End.” According to Paramount+’s official synopsis, Voit has a hold on Rossi and puts his strength and knowledge to the test. It doesn’t look like Voit is willing to back down, but the BAU continues pushing in hopes of winning this one.
