It’s been a week since Criminal Minds: Evolution‘s eventful Season 19, Episode 10 marked the end of the terrifying and compelling Elias Voit (Zach Gilford) era. And we can’t wait to see what’s next for the BAU.

After four seasons of Sicarius-related killers and an ambitious Elias Voit evolution that Gilford absolutely nailed, it seems Criminal Minds: Evolution is officially ready for a new challenge. For those who need a refresher, Episode 1910 ended with Voit behind bars in an undisclosed high-security federal penitentiary. And FBI Director Madison gave the BAU their next big case: “Unidentified body parts anonymously delivered to FBI field offices in NY, DC, LA, and Miami.”

So when will Criminal Minds fans watch Prentiss (Paget Brewster), Rossi (Joe Mantegna), JJ (A.J. Cook), Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Tara (Aisha Tyler), Luke (Adam Rodriguez), Tyler (Ryan James Hatanaka), and the rest of the team tackle their new mystery?
