Criminal Minds: Evolution Faces Season 4’s Major Threat


Criminal Minds: Evolution has reached the midpoint of its fourth season and so far, we’ve had a string of truly disturbing cases and an enticing setup for the season’s major antagonist. However, Season 4, Episode 5 completely slows down the show’s momentum, which is slightly concerning considering there are only five episodes left to cover the BAU’s battle with the Fan while still balancing the screen time with compelling cases. Thus far, the Fan has only made one major move that teases how much of a threat he is going to be, and Episode 5 riles up the anticipation for the villain, albeit in a slow-moving storyline. Meanwhile, this week’s case kicks off close to home, right within the FBI’s training centers, where a familiar face meets an untimely demise.

‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’ Season 4, Episode 5 Delivers a Predictable Central Case

Episode 5 opens with what seems to be a hostage situation in progress, with two FBI agents cornering the perpetrator and the hostage. When there’s a clear opening, Agent Lowell (Xavier Jimenez) shakily takes the shot and hits a bullseye right in the attacker’s head. But then the lights flick on. Turns out, this was simply an FBI training exercise, and Lowell was supposed to have a blank in his gun, not a lethal bullet that ended the life of his trainer, Milliken (Jamison Jones). You may also recognize Milliken from Evolution Season 4, Episode 2, where he had approached the BAU with a case since he and Alvez (Adam Rodriguez) were close after joining a war veteran recovery program together in the past.

Upon the news of Milliken’s death, Alvez is plunged right back into the depths of grief so shortly after losing Roxy, though, strangely enough, his grief during this episode is not nearly as convincing as in Episode 2. Prentiss (Paget Brewster) decides to permit Alvez to work on the case, and naturally, he interrogates Lowell and the witnesses more aggressively and defensively than he usually would, especially when he finds out that Milliken was a borderline abusive trainer. Green (Ryan-James Hatanaka) and JJ (A.J. Cook) are constantly trying to reel him back in, particularly when they theorize that Milliken may have been orchestrating his own suicide rather than Lowell intentionally committing murder.
