‘The Mentalist’ season 6 enlists (ironically) ‘Enlisted’ star for guest spot

The latest -It’s been a little while since we have been able to talk much about “The Mentalist,” but there have been some pretty big reasons why. For one, the show has been off the air for a good while, and we’re also not going to be seeing it head back in the immediate future thanks mostly to the beast known as the Olympics. While Patrick Jane may be able to take out Red John, some championship figure skaters may still give him a a run for his money.

What we are here to report today is that at some point later this season, a familiar TV face will be stopping by. As confirmed courtesy of her own Twitter account, Angelique Cabral, otherwise known right now as Jill Perez on Fox’s criminally-underrated and under-watched comedy “Enlisted,” is going to be appearing. Sadly, there is no word yet on just what sort of role she will be playing.

As of right now, most of the scoop out there about the rest of this season is that there will be a new love interest for Lisbon, and that Patrick Jane is going to have to continue adjusting to life without some sort of singular focus. That, in many ways, will be the major struggle that he and the show face. How do you make his journey compelling after he has found justice in his own way? That is a very difficult challenge especially since, in true realistic fashion, he never got all the answers about Red John that he probably wanted.
