‘The Mentalist’ season 6, episode 13: Simon Baker, a commune, and more (video)

“The Mentalist” is back on Sunday night with a new episode entitled “Black Helicopters,” and there are a wide array of things worth looking forward to. How do we know? Think along the lines of the two videos that we have for you below that share some of the action that is coming up.

Let’s go through these piece-by-piece to give you a little bit more insight as to what the main stories being featured this time are.

1. Jane is going to be traveling down to Mexico this week in order to track down a murder, which may have happened on a separatist commune that has “conspiracy” possibly written all over it. This alone almost has “potential TV series” written all over it. Of course Jane cannot seem to do anything without causing a little bit of mischief in the process. Rather than informing Agent Fischer about his offer to head down south, he simply decides to go for it and see what happens. Somehow, it typically works out for him, and it will be interesting to see how that happens here.

2. Also, Rigsby and Van Pelt are taking part in a story that we know has much more in the way of long-lasting implications on the show, given that it involves a plot against multiple members of the CBI. Also, it apparently involves the two cashing in on a favor that a certain someone owes Simon Baker’s character. Think of this as proof that there are many benefits to knowing Jane, even if he makes life harder on you a good percentage of the time.
