Emily leave Rossi in charge inCriminal head : Evolutionseason 2 , episode 5 , but his behavior has also been concerning . Rossi has been hallucinate Voit inCriminal Minds : Evolutionseason 2 , and he is already contend with having to act upon with him . Rossi also has a history of disobey orders and going scallywag , which is how Voit was able-bodied to kidnap him at the end ofCriminal Minds : Evolutionseason 1 .
The next most logical choice for interim BAU unit chief would be JJ , who has already served in that place . Yet , " BAU - Gate " and her unwillingness to speak about it and its effect on her make her mentally and emotionally treacherous as well . deplorable Minds : Evolutionseason 2 is let out a longstanding BAU problemthat could leave the team without a proper drawing card . I do n’t have much confidence in the BAU ’s leading inCriminal Minds : Evolutionseason 2 , but hopefully someone can turn out me wrong .
