Theory Briefing
- Cross Season 2 appears to unmask The Mastermind, but fans argue the reveal is too neat to be the whole story.
- The theory casts Kayla Craig as the real architect, using the apparent villain as a decoy to keep Alex Cross off her trail.
- If true, every clue pointing away from Kayla would be a planted misdirect — making the audience fall for the same trap as Cross himself.
