‘The Mentalist’ season 6 spoilers: How much more of Rigsby and Van Pelt will you see?

Were you worried at all that “My Blue Heaven” was going to be the end for Rigsby and Van Pelt on “The Mentalist” this season? Based on the news out there that the two are leaving the show this year, we certainly understand that.

However, we do come now bearing some big news for those of you who want to see a little bit more of the couple: They are not going anywhere quite yet. According to a new report from TVLine, there is still quite a bit more to come from the characters when they return in the new year. As for how they turn up, that will be a little more of an interesting question. These two, for the time being, are running a private business, and aren’t anywhere close to where Patrick Jane is currently located with the FBI.

Then again, you cannot rule out the possibility that Jane could find a way still to use them. He has found a way to rope in Lisbon already, and some details that are now out there suggest that he is going to convince the bureau to use her in a significant way. We have a feeling that he succeeds, given that there are currently no plans for her to leave the show.

But where does this leave the show’s married couple? Basically, they are on a trajectory to wrap up their story, but to also find a way to do it that does them justice. That seems to be the most important thing right now even above finding some sort of specific date in which the two are going to be filming their last episode.

What do you want to see from Rigsby and Van Pelt prior to the end of “The Mentalist” this season? Share some of your theories (if you have them) below! Meanwhile, click here to see who is the latest woman who is going to be coming into the life of Patrick Jane next.
