Overview
- Episode 4, released Thursday, June 11, 2026, marks Connor Storrie’s debut as Lance Kingston on Criminal Minds: Evolution.
- Lance is introduced as the ex-boyfriend of a potential victim and is tied into the season-long plot about a follower of imprisoned killer Elias Voit.
- The BAU interrogates Lance and uses a leaking-pen test as a behavioral profiling tool to assess whether he fits the obsessive profile of Voit’s correspondent.
- The episode closes with a dramatic cliffhanger that significantly raises Lance’s narrative importance, and Paramount+ lists Storrie to recur in Episodes 5, 6 and 9.
- Showrunner Erica Messer said the back half of the season was reworked to give Lance more agency, a change that builds a recurring thread likely to increase tension for the team and for the show’s central Voit storyline.
