‘The Mentalist’ season 6 spoilers: Patrick Jane and the rich and famous
Let’s start here by taking a deep sigh, and remembering that there is no new episode of “The Mentalist” on Sunday night. Sad, no? Well, it’s something that happens every year around this time thanks to the Academy of Country Music Awards.
Well, let’s just hope that the first details from the upcoming “Forest Green” (airing two weeks from tomorrow) will help to tide you over. There is a story that doesn’t seem to be lifting the veil on anything Lisbon / Jane related (on an even smaller scale than next week’s “The Silver Wings of Time”), but the synopsis below does sound like this is going to be a story that is pretty fun:
“When a woman is found murdered near a remote men’s social club, Jane must find a way to insinuate himself into the insular group to find the killer.”
We don’t quite know if there is even enough time left for the show to really make any more changes, but if we were the writers of this show right now, we would work harder to push this show more into fun territory. We’ve also seen the dark Red John storyline, and Patrick has something more to be happy about now. He’s no longer haunted by his past like he once was, and there is at least the capacity now for him to move forward. Whether he chooses to move forward romantically or not, though, remains to be seen.
“Forest Green” is the 18th episode of the season, so regardless of what happens in it, there will still be a solid four stories left to tell upon its conclusion.

Lisbon’s most likely going to end up with Pike, whether it’s in DC or not who knows. I mean to me, if you are going to introduce that Pike will have the oppertunity to transfer to DC in his third episode,then it shouldn’t take five or more episodes to figure out if Lisbon truely loves Jane or Pike. The only reason I see for keeping Pike around that long would be if he and Lisbon were going to end up togther.
Also if the next two episodes don’t show any hint that there could be a relationship between Jane and Lisbon then I believe that it also proves that Jane and Lisbon maynot get together.
The only question I have to ask is if Lisbon does end up with Pike, what was the point of bringing her back at all. They could have easliy had her meet a guy and have a life when she was in Washington state. I mean the whole point of the two year jump was to show changes in the characters, and until Pike showed up there was no real change in Lisbon. To me a better way to show change in Lisbon would have been that she actually liked her job as police chief, had met a guy, and had a life in Washington. Bringing her back just to dangle the possiblity that there could be a relationship between Jane and her when there might not be, is nothing but a ploy to attract viewers.
