Kayla’s deal with Bobby Trey in the season 1 finale’s mid-credits scene explained
Kayla makes Bobby an offer he can’t refuse
In CrossIn the mid-credits scene, Kayla Craig meets Bobby Trey and tries to make a deal with him. She tells him that if he agrees to give them information about six of Ed Ramsey’s 11 murders and allows the police to frame him as the “Fanboy” killer, they will offer you full immunity with just a 24 month sentence. Kayla also reminds him that he doesn’t really have a choice because Alex Cross will eventually find evidence of the two people he murdered. After realizing that Kaylas is right, Bobby Trey appears to consider the first part of the deal.
After Bobby agrees to accept the offer, Kayla extends the deal by asking if he can get access to all the dirt Ramsey has acquired on powerful people. In return, she promises that he will receive a good amount when he returns from prison. Bobby questions why he would give her access to the information when he himself could use it to blackmail influential people. Kayla responds by assuring him that he’d better get paid and leave rather than get his hands dirty with powerful people. With that, Bobby Tery seems convinced that Kayla’s offer is in his best interest.
What Bobby Trey and Kayla Craig’s deal means for their Season 2 crossover return
Kayla’s deal may have set her up as season two’s villain
Although Bobby Trey will likely end up in prison after the events of Season 1, he could return as the villain of Season 2 if the police don’t keep their end of the bargain and betray him. Before giving Kayla Craig access to Ed Ramsey’s incriminating information about powerful people, he could secretly store a backup of it somewhere safe. Since he also once worked in the police department, he must be familiar with their tricks. Because of this, it wouldn’t be surprising if he returned with an alternate plan in Season 2 and sought revenge on Cross and Kayla if they didn’t honor their end of the deal.
Since Kayla shares her last name with the main villain of the original Alex Cross novels, Kyle Craigshe may also have ulterior motives. She could use the information to get Cross into serious trouble or leverage it, like Ramsey, to manipulate the rich and powerful. Or she could even use it to help the titular character in the next installment of the Amazon series. Hopefully, Cross season two will provide more answers.
