Matt Roush says...

Reformed serial killer Elias “Sicarius” Voit (Zach Gilford) has broken out of prison, and peeved FBI Director Ray Madison (Clark Gregg) authorizes a “shoot to kill” order against the wishes of his BAU team. They know Voit’s only target is his malicious super “Fan” aka demented criminology prof James Crowley (Justin Kirk), who’s been threatening Voit’s family. In the Season 19 (fourth in the Evolution spinoff era) finale, the BAU tracks both Voit and Crowley to try to avert a lethal showdown, with innocent victims trapped in the “Fan’s” narcissistic web.
