‘The Mentalist’ season 7: Pedro Pascal reflects on recent arc
For fans of “The Mentalist,” Sunday night may be a rather sad day in that it is the first Sunday since the ACM Awards to not feature a new episode. Before that, it was March when we had to go without new episodes.
So while we transition into the off-season, how about some parting words for a man that is almost indirectly responsible for Jane and Lisbon being together? Without the arrival of Agent Pike on the scene, it is hard to know whether or not Simon Baker’s character would have ever risen to the surface and become the man he needed to be in order to win her over. It is a strange situation in a way seeing Pike disappear into the void, given that he was not a bad guy or a bad person for Lisbon by any means. The only thing that he was really a victim of above all else was just being with her at the wrong time when there was another guy that she cared about.
It is unlikely that we will see Pike again in season 7, but Pedro Pascal reacted to his time on the show while doing a Reddit AMA (one that was geared mostly towards his role as Prince Oberyn Martell on “Game of Thrones”):
“I had an amazing time with Robin Tunney, she is a new friend, and it was a really friendly set. And it was nice because I was sort of, I just signed a new lease on a new apartment in Los Angeles and I was able to drive myself to work everyday, which was cool. And Simon is a really great guy, the two of them have a really special chemistry and it was great to see that in person.”
After many weeks of seeing Pedro on two different Sunday-night shows, this Memorial Day Weekend may be especially empty. Luckily, we know that he will return for the new episode next week, and you can watch a preview for that over at the link here.

If this is going to be the last season I’d like to see all of them alive & happy & Lisbon & Jane going off into the sunset hand in hand happy with eachother.

It could be possible that we may never see Pike again, but isn’t there a saying that says never say never. LOL.
To me it all depends on where/when and how they want to start season seven. I mean if they want to pick up right where ther left off season six, with the kiss, then I could see Pike coming back for that episode. I mean it was never shown if Lisbon texted him her flight information, so far all we know he could be waiting for her at the airport. Though we know that Lisbon made it seem like she hadn’t talked to Pike. Not to mention that we don’t know directly if Jane knew about Pike’s proposal, but we defiantly know that he doesn’t know that she had, even if it was brief, accepted Pike’s proposal.
If they decide on a short time jump then it probably is unlikely that we will see Pike again, unless one of the first cases of season seven has to deal with an art crime that takes them eaither to DC or has Pike come to Austin.
That’s assuming though that something hasn’t already been leaked about Pike’s future, since last I heard Pedro Pascal said that he hadn’t heard if Pike will be part of the upcoming season.
