‘The Mentalist’ season 6, episode 7 video: Patrick Jane and the latest Red John aftermath
At the end of Sunday night’s “The Mentalist” season 6 episode, we had what was literally an explosive situation as we watched Lisbon nearly run into an explosion. The drama of this situation of course comes via the revelation that Patrick Jane and the remaining Red John suspects are alive.
Let’s start this article about the latest sneak peek by explaining what we know with the utmost of certainty: There are at most three suspects remaining who could be the killer, as the end of “Fire and Brimstone” proved that two suspects, including Ray Haffner, are now in the clear. Given that this is an explosion that we are talking about here, the odds are pretty good that at least one of the five “suspects” did not make it through this alive. It’s possible that it could be even more than that, and Jane may only have two or even one suspect remaining. Based on the fact that there are still two episodes left of this investigation, it’s pretty fair to say that Red John does make it through this alive somehow.
The sneak peek really doesn’t provide you too much in the way of new information, unless of course you were absolutely begging for some sort of video proof that Jane is still alive. What this clip does do a great job of is giving you a little bit of information about how the story moving forward this coming episode is going to be framed. We will see via some flashbacks / dream sequences exactly what happened leading up to the explosion; then in the present, we’re going to try to pick up the pieces and figure out who is alive, and who needs to be hunted down now. The obvious issue following Jane’s stunt is that Red John knows that he is almost found out, and he is going to have to either get on the run, or risk being caught and the game being over.
