‘The Mentalist’ season 7 spoilers: A few more notes on a new character
As a “Mentalist” fan, you must be feeling the burn right now. It is not exactly clear when the show will be returning to CBS, and there’s also the large possibility that season 7 could be the end of the road. At least you have Jane and Lisbon, right? We at least feel pretty good that the show is not going to turn around and suddenly break them up now after getting them together, mostly because that would be the most awful thing imaginable.
Unfortunately, we have no further news right now about the relationship between these two. Instead, we are here to write a little more about the Michelle Vega character. If you remember from when we last wrote about her, we described her as a very ambitious new FBI agent who is looking to become very proficient with all forms of combat. We’ve learned a little more now, and it’s starting to sound like she will be more of an on-the-job adversary to Patrick Jane than someone he can rely on for shenanigans.
According to a report from TV Guide, this character is actually going to be fairly by-the-book, and is willing to work so hard to impress her superiors that she’ll sacrifice almost everything in her life. This means not having a whole lot of friends or free time, and we’re not sure that this is something Patrick would support at all. Now that Red John is dead, the guy likes to fit in some of his time for relaxation.
As for when “The Mentalist” could return, our guess right now would be either in January as a three-month fill-in series while another show is on hiatus, or March where it could run straight through to the end of the May sweeps. Either way, we expect a run weekly of all 13 episodes, and then we’ll see where the chips fall for the show from there.

The whole “By the book” stuff, makes me think of how Lisbon seemed to kind of be at the start of the series, and how they seemed to almost discribe Fischer when they first introduced her.
I can see the show either splitting up Jane and Lisbon or coming back a few months after they got together and their relationship is falling apart. I knoiw people wouldn’t like that, and I don’t like to think that but I can see that happening. Not to mention I recall reading something that suggested that they could do that.
As long as they don’t do another love triangle, I’m fine. If they do another love triangle then I’ll probably won’t watch.
