Season Six begins with the return of Billy Flynn, The Prince of Darkness. Early in the season, Jennifer Jareau is forced to take a promotion at the Pentagon causing her to depart the BAU. The BAU is also charged with training new cadet Ashley Seaver, who becomes a permanent member of the team. In The Thirteenth Step, a story arc featuring Emily Prentiss began. She learns from Sean McCallister, a former colleague at Interpol, that Ian Doyle, an international criminal, has escaped and will probably come after her. Prentiss is departing the series after Lauren, but with an option to return next season.
