‘The Mentalist’ season 6 spoilers: What could take Lisbon away from Jane?

For six years on “The Mentalist,” Jane and Lisbon have for the most part found a way to work together, trust in each other, and also solve a boatload of cases. So is there anything that could potentially tear them apart? As it turns out yes, though not exactly in a way that is even remotely malicious.

Instead, you have a man in Agent Pike who is thinking about his future, clearly likes Lisbon, and would love to have an opportunity to build a life with her. He’s not some mustache-twirling supervillain out to destroy anyone, even though we are still hoping that for her to end up with Jane.

Maybe “Brown Eyed Girls” will be the inspiration for this guy to finally make a move … and we hope so, given that this is the 19th episode of the season (airing on April 27), and there are only three more after this to give us a reasonably conclusion in the event that the show ends in May.

Take a look at the new synopsis for a few more hints:

“A chance encounter with a suspicious-looking individual leads Jane and Lisbon to uncover a vast human smuggling ring. Meanwhile, Lisbon remains tempted by Pike’s offer to move to D.C. with him.”

The only Jane / Lisbon scoop in here is that the two are at least spending time on the job together again, and we are happy about that … even if it doesn’t by any means equate with them being romantic. The show’s going to have a lot of ground to cover here in a short time, mostly because we don’t feel like Patrick was really processing his feelings very much after the death of Red John. He’s still trying to figure himself out, and what he wants moving forward. Hopefully, she ends up being a part of that equation; otherwise, it feels like the biggest tease ever and a disappointment.
