‘The Mentalist’ season 6 spoilers: See Rigsby, Van Pelt back in the mix

While we know that at some point Rigsby and Van Pelt are going to be done with the world of “The Mentalist,” the good news is that this has not happened yet … and we now have attached photo proof to go along with it.

This attached image is from “Grey Water,” which is the March 16 episode of the show that we recently said would feature the two characters at the Austin branch of the FBI, which is where we have also seen Patrick Jane as of late. So what’s the reason for them flying down from the northwest? Basically, they are trying to figure out what is happening that is causing many former CBI agents to be targeted by a somewhat-mysterious entity. Even though they are now in the realm of private security, that does by any stretch of the imagination know that they know everything.

We’re hoping that this investigation turns into some sort of story that at least lasts for a few more weeks when the show returns to hiatus on March 9, especially given that it is hard to tell just what else the show has going for it right now when it comes to the long-term storyline. Is there also something when it comes to Jane and Lisbon? Sure, but it is hard to see how much development we are going to get there before this season comes to a close … and we don’t know for sure if there will even be a next season, given the current state of the show’s ratings. This at least gives a reason of the characters to be present, and we’re excited to see them stick around.
