‘The Mentalist’ season 7, episode 10: Who is most likely to die?
If you watched the promo for next week’s “The Mentalist,” then you already know that someone on this show will unfortunately be knocking on death’s door sooner rather than later. They will die during “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” and shake things up for the final three episodes that follow.
So who could it be? We’re not going to be so horrible as to try to spoil anything, but we can at least give you for now a list of who we feel are some of the prime candidates right now based on the evidence that is out there. Of course, at the end, we want to hear what you think! (We’re assuming the the character show dies is currently a regular part of the show.)
Jane or Lisbon – We can almost confirm that this is not happening. The promo for this episode shows the two of them talking about the death after the fact. Plus, the show is not going to gut its primary couple so soon to the end.
Cho – He’s not as likely a candidate as any of the more recent arrivals, and we assume that many would want to see him happy in the end. With that being said, this would be the #1 way to shock the characters to their core.
Abbott – This would throw the entire FBI division into chaos, but since we just had a big storyline with this character, is it really time to see him go?
Vega – We are worried for Vega, but the reality here is that we haven’t even known her for a dozen episodes. Losing her at this point would not be that stunning or that enormously impactful to some of the characters on the show.
Wylie – Right now, he’s near the top of the candidate list, but the logistics are the question mark here. He’s not out in the field in the way that the other characters are most of the time.
Overall, right now we’d say that we are the most worried about either Cho, Wylie, or Abbott, mostly because there is no real logical reason to do away with Vega and sell it as a huge moment. In the end, though, we have to see what the writers decide.

“Nothing Gold Can Stay” The title tells us it is one of the younger cast members. It references the Robert Frost poem, “Nature’s First Green is Gold”, so it would be Vega or Wiley who dies.

It can’t be jane, i doubt cho will die cuz he’s just been promoted, it would terrible if they killed off lisbon, it can’t be wylie cuz he normally stays at headquarters, i personally doubt it’s abbot but then again we just had an episode about him so could be a farewell, but i personally think it’ll be vega and i do wonder whether her a wylie will have a ‘moment’ before her demise

As someone who follows the actors on Twitter, I immediately knew who it is…which was very irritating to me. As soon as I saw the promo, I was like “Vega.” Why? Because the actress, Josie Loren, literally tweeted weeks before the show was done filming and said that she enjoyed her time on the show. It was weird at the time, but when I saw the promo, it all clicked. It kills me to already know the ending. I’m kind of mad at Loren since she screwed up the whole mystery aspect for me and many others. Also, I’m the only one in my family that knows this little tidbit, so I have to keep it all inside and mentally scream. I suppose this comment is a way to express my anger…
I do hope, however, that Jane does something big to show Lisbon he loves her (such as a proposal?!). I realize it’s pretty unlikely since the creator pretty much straight out denied it in an interview, but I still have a sliver of hope. Plus Rigsby and Van Pelt have to come back for some reason in the finale, and they’re done with investigations…
Crossing my fingers for a proposal! (Doubt it especially since it’s only episode 10, but come on Jane!!)

It is 100 percent vega as the actress has filmed nothing since this episode and tweeted to Tim Kang about how much she enjoyed her run…

I doubt it is Cho. As someone pointed out on another comment page if you look at the promo there is a person walking along in the funeral procession a few steps ahead of Jane whose face they have blurred. That persons outline, posture, and stride looks an awful lot like Cho. I hate that it looks like they are going to kill anyone on the team! Vega may not have been on long but she is young with a promising future and I would hate to see them have her killed. I will be sad no matter which of the four they show in the promo is picked to be killed. I hate the whole idea!!!! I understand Jane being worried about Lisbon but I don’t like that now that he has admitted his love for her suddenly he can’t deal with the risk she has been in the whole time he has known her. Yeah I know they are sleeping together now and she has now told him she loves him but look at what great lengths he went to to stop her from gong to D.C. with Pike. He really didn’t want her to physically leave but he wasn’t trying to protect her from getting killed on the job then. He knew what kind of work she does when he decided to profess his love for her. Afterall he got her the job that puts her in danger.

It has to be Vega.l The character is useless and the actress cannot act.
