The episode opens with a terrifying moment: Kathy Walner is shot dead in her own home. However, it doesn’t stop there. Her 10-year-old son, Andrew, is missing. Unlike previous killings by the network, which usually leave no survivors, Andrew is taken alive. That’s strange. The BAU knows this is a message. But what’s the disciple trying to say?
As the team digs deeper, two suspects, Trevor Walner (Andrew’s dad) and Steve Morris, die by suicide while in custody. One hangs himself, the other stabs his own neck with a pencil. Talk about brutal. These deaths mean fewer people are left to question, and a lot more questions are left unanswered.
Kyle Mackey’s prison confusion in Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3, Episode 9
Here’s where things get messy. Kyle Mackey, nicknamed "The Undertaker," was supposed to be in one prison in Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 Episode 9. But due to a clerical error, he ends up somewhere else under a slightly altered name. That’s not all; his ex-wife Laney and their daughter Ava have disappeared. Their closets are found to be empty, hinting that they have perhaps run away. But have they? Or have they been taken?
This is followed by something truly unexpected. The team receives a package, and once they open it, they find Andrew inside. He’s unharmed but wants to speak only with Agent JJ. What he says sends chills down everyone’s spine:
“Now I lay me down to sleep. Your husband’s soul is God’s to keep.”
It’s a twisted message: a prayer, but also a threat.
The disciple wants the FBI to release Kyle Mackey in exchange for Laney and Ava’s safety in Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 Episode 9. But hold on, it’s a bluff. Marshal Andy Murray tells the team the mother and daughter weren’t kidnapped. They packed up and ran, likely warned by someone. The BAU suspects this is all a setup.
Meanwhile, episode 9 hints that something shady is happening at the hospital. Elias Voit, the killer-turned-informant, somehow gets a phone. A nurse named Monica is blamed since her SIM card matches Voit's. However, she insists she’s innocent. Surprisingly, the team believes her. Why? Because they suspect someone called “The Engineer” bought the phone using her credit card to frame her.
In a sudden twist in the narrative, Voit confesses that he used the phone to warn Laney and Ava. He didn’t want them to be harmed. Wait, what? A serial killer… with a conscience? That’s new. Dr. Ochoa, who had supported Voit, feels betrayed and cuts off his privileges.
With no other leads left, the team questions Mackey. At first, he tries to make a deal, his freedom in exchange for information. When that fails, he spills a name: “The Engineer.” This mysterious person taught him how to build deadly weapons. He even gives clues about a recent purchase, a drum used to make silencers.
In Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 Episode 9, the team traces the purchase to a guy named John Peters in Virginia. But there is a surprise that awaits them there. The house has been empty for five years. The real John Peters lives in Miami. Hence, the team is met with another dead end. Frustration sets in for the team as well as for the viewers.
The disciple’s final move in Episode 9
Then, it clicks. One of the agents realizes something big: All these cases — Fowler, Kyle Mackey, Clyde Smith — have been nothing but mere distractions. The disciple has been spreading the BAU thin, pulling their focus in multiple directions.
The real target? Elias Voit.
While the team has been chasing their tails, the disciple has been planning something at Melgrim Medical Center. Voit feels it too. His killer instincts kick in. Something’s off. The place is too quiet, and the danger seems to be near.
It turns out the disciple isn’t just anyone. She’s a woman named Tessa Lebrun, who once claimed to be the daughter of Cyrus Lebrun, the same Cyrus who mentored Voit. Looks like she’s Voit 2.0, smarter, colder, and leading the network.
Voit may be a killer, but in this episode, we see a glimpse of something more: regret, maybe even guilt. He tried to save two lives. But does that make up for everything he’s done? The team is left wondering.
Kyle Mackey had mentioned “Project Checkmate,” which now makes sense. The disciple’s plan was to overload the BAU, confuse them, and then strike. She played them like pawns, and the final move is just beginning.
Season 3, Episode 9 of Criminal Minds: Evolution is a rollercoaster ride for the viewers. Just when you think you’ve figured things out, the show flips the board. With the disciple’s true identity revealed and the BAU left reeling, it’s clear the next move could change everything. The game of checkmate has only just begun.
