Felony Minds: Evolution – Save the Kids (SEASON FINALE)

If you happen to haven’t watched the brand new episode of Felony Minds: Evolution but, you might wish to do this and circle again right here. I wouldn’t wish to spoil this one for you. Now, let’s get into Save the Kids. 

Discuss beginning an episode with a BANG! In final week’s episode, we noticed Jade arrange explosives to go off after which the episode ends – the beginning of this episode proves that these explosives did some main injury. Aida, one of many coaching establishments the place Gold Star was created, is now up in flames. 

Again on the workplace, Penelope and Rebecca are anxiously attempting to get a connection again with the crew (they have been all on the Aida constructing when the explosion occurred). A textual content from Rebecca’s mother prompts them to activate the information and so they see that the Aida constructing is totally engulfed in flames. Screw being anxious, they’re past terrified for the destiny of their crew members. If seeing that scene wasn’t sufficient, a number of explosions are caught stay leaving each Penelope and Rebecca with a glance of terror.

We’re on the scene at Aida (publish explosion) and David is having a chat with unconscious Elias once more (not this man nonetheless dwelling lease free in David’s thoughts). We don’t get into that an excessive amount of although as a result of fortunately Tara finds David, however brings unhealthy information: everyone seems to be accounted for apart from Jade, Frank, and Emily. 

Now, if we’re considering again to final week’s episode nonetheless (I actually am), I assumed Jade was a goner. Think about my shock once I noticed her alive. After all the video games don’t cease with this one; she has Frank and Emily tied to wheelchairs. Why? Oh, to place them on trial for his or her wrongdoings in fact. Beginning with Frank (you nasty human), who took benefit of, tortured, and manipulated her whereas at Stuart Home. When he tried to speak his means out of it, she didn’t trouble to entertain it and hit him with one to the top. Proper in entrance of Emily too –yikes! Jade then takes Frank away to this room and I imply what else might she do to this man? He’s already useless, however then I understood what she was doing right here and that is the place my ideas on Jade took a flip (I wasn’t anticipating to really feel something in direction of her in any respect). We get a flashback of her time at Stuart Home and…yeah, it was a tough time for her. What we’re additionally seeing is how a lot of an anchor Damien was for her. With out her anchor, now, she really is misplaced.

Now it’s Emily’s flip – and man, this was a twist I DID NOT see coming. All this time the crew has been on the lookout for the id of the final two Gold Star members; they found out Jade was now working with certainly one of them named Dana, however the final one was tough. Jade factors a gun at Emily and asks how she pleads, however she was by no means instructed what she was being charged with. When she requested, Jade instructed her it was a conspiracy to commit homicide. She assumed it was Damien, however nope, that wasn’t it. Emily convinces Jade to let her confront the particular person accusing her and stated particular person agrees. Boy is Emily in for a shock. 

On the workplace, the crew tries to determine the final Gold Star member (they solely know his title is Pete B) considering it might give them some sort of thought as to the place Emily may very well be. In attempting to determine him, they arrive to the conclusion that this explicit Gold Star member has had Emily on his radar all the time. Every part that has occurred to Emily this season was no coincidence; Pete blames Emily for…one thing, however we do not know what simply but. Then unconscious Elias is again and tells David if he thought any of this is able to have occurred if he by no means talked about Gold Star and every part, EVERYTHING begins coming collectively (and I begin to freak out as a result of I notice we’re getting extra solutions).

David goes to go to Elias in his new correctional institute and he’s hoping his dialog with him would result in a definitive reply to who this final Gold Star member is. Elias in fact is enjoying video games, however David tells him what he is aware of. That this all began when he first talked about Gold Star, however extra importantly who he first talked about Gold Star to: Douglas Bailey. David begins breaking down how he found out that Pete B is none aside from Pete Bailey, Doug’s youthful brother (MIND BLOWN). We get it now, Pete; you blame Emily for Doug’s demise. Elias is introduced again to the workplace to assist as soon as once more and the BAU crew is NOT thrilled. He tells them how he created an app for Pete to assist him decipher actual and deep pretend movies of his brother and the way when the app is used and a pretend video is discovered, a GPS mark is connected to it with location. If Pete has used the app lately then they’d be capable of discover him. The crew and Elias head over to Aida to try to discover Pete’s location, and surprisingly, Elias was useful. 

After Emily pleads her case, Pete is just not satisfied and Jade holds a gun to her head once more, telling her she’s discovered responsible. I assumed Emily was about to satisfy Frank’s destiny as effectively, earlier than Jade places the gun away. She tells Emily that her sentence is delayed and there’s one other plan about to occur. She then learns that every part Voit gave Jade about her crew allowed her to know their ways and he or she knew that they have been on the best way to save lots of Emily, and that each Pete and Jade have been prepared for them; explosives have been set on the door prepared to satisfy them (and so they have been nearly goners). Assuming that this may very well be a lure, David has one other one arrange: play the recording of Elias admitting to killing Doug Bailey. Pete lastly sees the reality, confirmed with Elias’ app, and is aware of that Emily isn’t the enemy.

Man, I used to be actually not attempting to really feel something for Jade, however that ending was one thing. When Pete and Jade give up, Pete is being taken away however Jade takes out a gun and places it to her head (the truth that demise is best than coping with the repercussions is so telling). Emily does what Emily does greatest and talks her out of it. Jade simply desires somebody to hearken to her and Emily guarantees to do exactly that. Jade surrenders. 

Everyone seems to be at Penelope’s place celebrating the truth that they’re all protected (I beloved that – particularly the cake!) However, main jumpscare when Tyler was speaking about Elias Voit and Emily walks in and we see unconscious Elias within the corridor behind her. He doesn’t stroll in together with her, so does this imply he’s not on David’s thoughts? Additionally, to what Tyler stated, why did Elias wish to be transferred to gen-pop? 

The ultimate scene of the episode exhibits us Elias within the laundry room and he’s not alone for lengthy. Two males stroll in, one going on to him (shank in hand) asking him to substantiate who he believes he’s: Elias Voit. He tried to disclaim it however the man wasn’t shopping for it and a combat broke out. The second man joins in on the assault after which — episode performed. Two on one didn’t appear like it was understanding in Elias’ favor on the finish there. Can we imagine this may very well be the tip of Elias Voit? 

I’ve some concepts, however I wish to hear from you – what’d you consider the season finale of Felony Minds: Evolution? Share your ideas within the remark part under, or join with me on X/Twitter @chenfordhugs
