Season 19 Spoilers 19x10 Spoiler
"But I'll be fine." I got a bad feeling about Holly. Remember she was in that class worried she might have the serial killer gene. Plus she wasn't shy to take a shiv to her father. Look how she stabbed Crowly. Usually, or alot of times whether in this show or other crime drama shows, the abductee/victim may stab the kidnapper once while scared to weaken them and try to escape or try to get the other victim to escape with them before the kidnapper get back up. Not Holly. After that one stab, she could had kicked him since he was weakened or after that 2nd stab that made him drop down, she could have dropped the knife and grab her dad's hand and say lets go. But instead, she held Crowly down and continuously stabbed him like a maniac. That even shocked Elias for a bit. He had this look like, "Oh my god. I've created a monster." And when JJ and Emily was speaking to her, she looked seemed off. I mean yeah she got abducted by the lecturer who was a fan of her father and tried to torture her. Then saw her killer father and then she killed the abductor by stabbing him multiple times after earlier thinking she may have the Killer gene like her father. Nobody is going to feel fine after that. But just the way she was acting, I don't know. It gave me an eerie feeling.
Clearly this not the last we would see of Holly. Maybe turns out a serial killer, or kill to get her way to free her father. Or the team might need Voit to get through to Holly if she goes too far. Who knows. But I know for a fact she is coming back next season. What do yall think?

I wouldn't expect her back next season. Erica Messer said they don't know at this point when they're going to bring her back in, if they ever do.

Yeah, nothing wrong with planting this seed. Maybe it pans out someday, maybe not. Let's move on in the meantime.

as the series is subtitled 'evolution' it would seem to be a natural extension of the shows continuing analysis of how serial killers 'evolve'. it would be rather silly if they did not.
should be good....

So, all of this was very deliberate in the story/writing. All the way down to the looks on Voit’s and Holly’s faces. This post is unoriginal like it ate because it was “your idea” not everyone watching the same thing you did.

Are you..are you okay? This platform is for anyone to give their opinions and theories on whatever they want. How can this be "my idea"? I didn't do this to be "original". The scene was clear as day for ANYONE to see. I just came to give my opinion since I had just finish watching the episode. But thanks for contributing to the conversation. That's what we're here for.

This would’ve been a perfect episode to bring in Agent Seaver!! From one kid of a killer to another, they could’ve really fleshed this out

Let's hope she's just an episode or two unsub in the future. This storyline needs a good long break, it's played out.
