Emily Prentice
At the BAU, Prentice shares what Gil Gideon told her – that she broke Rosie’s heart. They laughed, and then Jill stormed out of the office, screaming at Rosie behind her. They retreated behind closed doors again.
Taylor mentioned the 30-year history between Rosie and Jill, while JJ said that at the time, Jill had to stay in the shadows while the two men took credit for her work. Ouch.
Rosie and Gil reappear screaming, this time with Gil blaming Rosie for Jason Gideon’s death. Rossi said he would never do it again.

Gill released this unpublished report on juvenile psychosis. She thinks they could reverse-engineer the process and intervene to stop children before they become unwanted or engage in violent impulses.
She wanted to open a behavioral school to do just that, but big money stymied that plan, potentially changing the course of the program. She left the program before it even began, believing she was hired because of her name.
Best of all, Stewart House wasn’t the only location they considered. Jill was saddened to discover that they didn’t really help the child at all.
Rossi was drinking a glass of whiskey when Prentiss knocked on the door. He didn’t want to talk about it. She knew he left the BAU under a dark cloud, but she didn’t fall in love with your best friend’s wife. He denies the allegation. At that time, all they did was eat, drink, and breathe. He and Jill provided support as Jason took them down.
They were never lovers, and Jill didn’t break his heart. He had “the idea” that Jason wasn’t good enough for Jill. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop them. He was emotionally immature at the time, so he left the BAU so as not to interfere with their marriage.
While Jill and Jason separated, Rosie stayed with his second wife.
He felt like he could never get along with anyone, and that started with Jill.
Gil gives them a list of places to investigate Stewart Manor and other locations. Prentiss tells Rossi that he should enjoy his drink now and she will catch up to him if necessary.
Monica returns a necklace to Tara. They live together again. Did anyone else miss that nugget? Monica can’t go home to sleep because the U.S. Marshals are hacked. Sidney and the girls are not damaged, but they still have suspicions about Voight.
Monica is suspicious of Voight’s lawyer. Tara suggests they talk to Tyler and see what he knows. Monica sighed.

Damian added another eyeball tattoo to Jade’s arm. He mentioned their friends in Iowa. Damien talks about Voit and how lucky he is to have met him.
They discuss what Stewart House did to them. Damian wants Voight to explain his backstory first. Jed thought Voight’s story was pretty simple compared to theirs.
Vincent Orloff arrives and Jed is immediately hostile. Damien has a high-powered weapon against Orlov, who opens his suitcase so Jade can retrieve the murder case from Voit .
It contains a lockbox and a GPS. Voit knew that working with the BAU would be a betrayal and made a peace offer. This matter didn’t end with Polaris, and without this case, they would never know the truth.
Morgantown, West Virginia
Alves and JJ arrive at a remote house where they are looking for Dr. Desera (the name Gil provided). He hangs in the living room. He was the man Jade and Damian killed earlier.
They began searching the place and there was no sign of forced entry or rummaging. But Luke discovers a box of papers containing an empty folder from Stewart House. Polaris is just a hook to send them down a conspiracy rabbit hole. They need to follow up on the other names Gill provided.
While Damian and Jade are sleeping in the woods, she wakes up in a panic. She seemed to see someone holding her down. She asked him to promise her they would never go into the cage again. He promised. They will show them – an eye for an eye.
Monica asks Tyler to find leverage over Olof. How did Voight manipulate him? Once he discovers the trigger, he needs to take it directly to Monica.
Rosie was looking through an old diary, which contained a picture of Jason, when Penelope knocked on the door. She has bad news about Dr. Desera and all his friends. They all died, and were ruled accidents or suicides.
Everyone Jill remembers is dead now. What does this mean for Jill? She was the last name on the list.
She doesn’t necessarily believe the BAU can protect her, but she apologizes for her previous outburst and blames Rosie for Jason’s death.

Suffice it to say, they need to create an image where kids no longer have guns. She has read the evaluations of patients being considered for the program and has the notes at home.
Jade is GS5 (Venus 5 is the grade) and Damien is GS1. Jill felt sorry for him. There are many layers to the selection of these children and the level of manipulation they experience. Jill wished she had a better understanding of what was about to happen.
Damian said the federal government in Iowa was protecting “her,” Jill. It’s bigger than they thought, but they have each other.
Prentice and Alves ask Penelope to find where Damian and Jade might be. Alves talked about the hot corner and how that helped the two get closer to the victim. They triangulated reference points and planned to release the drone.
Olof is in the interrogation room. He’s a bit edgy considering what he’s involved in. What does Voight know about Orlov? A photo of a girl locked in a basement points to Orlov. Monica bets the photos are pornographic.
Tara can’t believe Voight found his lawyer on the Sicarius network. Tyler and Monica can. Tara says they are twins.
Rossi explains the Sicarius network to Jill, including how people can be influenced by conspiracy theories. Children are being lied to when they are told that they can save other children by following their instructions. After everything they’ve been through, they’re willing to do whatever it takes to save their children. But who is behind it?
Jill thinks she should be the bait to lure Damian and Jade into showing up. She wants to make amends, but Rossi disagrees. He learned this from Donny Malick, who killed Jason. She wants to know why Rosie didn’t attend the funeral.
He didn’t leave because he didn’t dare to look at her. But now, he could, and she threw herself at him, trying to kiss him. He jumped up to leave. They can’t. They needed to see this case through, and he couldn’t do it while thinking about Jill.
JJ and Penelope find archive photos of Damian Booth. JJ and Alves receive a drone report and set out to find them. When they arrived, Damian and Jade weren’t there.
Damian is in Jill’s living room. She said she wanted to show him somewhere. She seduces him with the theory of “saving the child.” He put a gun to her head. Is it still happening now? She assures him that he can still save the boy. Something tells me he’s that boy.

The BAU is in a meeting. They knew Jill was gone. Rosie was furious that she was left alone. But that kiss…Prentiss told him to think like a profiler. She got rid of him because she knew they were coming. She’s taking them to North Star, and although North Star is made up, it’s not made up by Jill. no longer.
Jill takes Damian to the cabin where Jason was killed, the same cabin she and Rosie had discussed earlier. Is this a clue for Rosie to find her?
Inside, she reveals that the boy she’s talking about is Damian. He thought it was a ruse. She tells him that his adoptive father, Brooks, never gave up on Damien and tried to get him to leave Stewart House. When he becomes a threat, Stewart House uses Damian to kill his loved ones to save others.
Damian struggled to understand what she was saying, but she told him that the abuse he suffered had reshaped her cerebral cortex, and although he knew Brooks would never harm a child, his brain wouldn’t let him believe otherwise. .
He was shocked by the news, but Jill wasn’t safe. He thought he was liberated, when in fact, they used him to kill Brooks. He had no choice at the time, but he had a choice whether to kill Jill or not.
The more lies a person tells, the more people believe them. He lost his family and dropped his gun. Gil says it’s not his fault and picks up the gun. When they left the cabin, the FBI was outside. He considered killing himself through law enforcement, but ended up on his knees with his hands up. He clenched his fist and Jade killed him.
Jill is ecstatic and blames herself for what happened.
The agents found the machine gun, which was firing automatically as Jed ran away. Eventually, Jade stopped running and screamed.
