- Arriving in Washington, D.C. on the 4th anniversary of the N’Djamena bombings, they instigate a robbery starting with Izzy murdering a guard and Chris shooting Jodi Ketelson, Willam LaMontagne Jr’s partner, in the head.
- For no reason except sadism and a hinted at abusive parent, she ruthlessly kills Zack Hansen in front of her daughter, something that disgusts Chris, later, she gets Travis Green killed when he attempts to shoot Chris while acting like a medic.

- The BAU actually says that she called the police on herself, meaning she got Oliver killed, but its either to turn them against each other or the actual truth, the latter being likely as she ignores the question and doesn't answer truthfully.
- She forces William to drive to his home to where Henry LaMontagne is, Izzy hating kids, supposedly because of her former abusive father, acts like a babysitter and taunts Will by conversating with Henry about doing an activity.
- Realizing the unsubs know about the location of her house and that she has a son, she enters the house while Rossi is outside and fights Izzy in hand to hand, Izzy tries to get the gun but fails and in a final attempt, tries to supposedly take Henry hostage.
- Meanwhile, Matthew is at the union station and plants a bomb around William Jr, fully planning to kill hundreds of the innocent people there, something that that they both agreed to do.
What prevents her from being Pure Evil?[]
- No matter what she does, she has a genuine love with Matthew Downs, initially joined each other out of anarchism, its shown that unlike her attitude to Chris Stratton, someone she despises, they are both obsessed with each other as Izzy always brings Downs as a fake hostage in the bank robberies despite it not being always useful. Not to mention before betraying and murdering Chris, she is shown calling someone on the phone, supposedly Downs, where she kills the last Stratton brothers only after having an agreement with each other. For the finale, every single thing they orchestrate is centered around their meetup in Chad with their terrorist's attack being on the exact date and the union station bomb wire to clip being yellow because the U.S flag has red and blue and not yellow, while the Chad flag has all the colors present.
