‘The Mentalist’ season 6 spoilers: ‘Grey Water,’ and Rigsby and Van Pelt dive in

The latest -Despite all of the talk about Rigsby and Van Pelt being written out of “The Mentalist” at some point in the future, the two are not seemingly being written out at any point in the immediate future. Not only are they going to be present in the show’s March 9 return “Black Helicopters,” they will also be a part of “Grey Water,” the episode coming the following week that focuses a little deeper on the attacks of former CBI members. It is becoming more and more clear, after all, that this is the new long-form story in the wake of Red John’s death.

In following up the “Black Helicopters” synopsis that we posted recently (which you can see here), be sure to also check out a few general details from this other important episode:

“Jane and Fischer investigate a murder at an oil fracking site, while Rigsby and Van Pelt travel to Austin to help investigate suspects in the string of attacks on former CBI team members.”

(This may be a bit of an aside, but how awesome would it be if there were a few Cylons at the oil fracking site? Just thought we’d get some “Battlestar Galactica” humor in there.)

This is going to be surely an eventful episode, and we are always very pleased any chance that there is an opportunity to see the former CBI team members working in close proximity. It is therefore somewhat ironic that this is one of the few times that Jane is somewhat away with Fischer.

Is there anything in particular that you are hoping to get out of “The Mentalist” moving forward?
