‘The Mentalist’ season 6, episode 24 (finale) spoilers: Jane, Lisbon, and a jet plane

The bosses of “The Mentalist” really were not kidding when they said that the season finale Sunday was going to be a “romantic” episode. As a matter of fact, it contains what has to be considered one of the most romantic things that you can possibly ever see in someone trying to chase down a plane!

The great thing about this preview is that it clearly gives you enough to know what is coming between Jane and Lisbon, but leaves so much stuff to the imagination. There’s no confession of love, or romantic kiss thrown our way yet. Instead, you have Patrick telling her that they should try to make their last case special … which she hilarious replies to by reminding him that this is a murder case that they are dealing with here, and that is hardly something that you can celebrate.

Everything leading up to this episode is so delightfully subtle, and the show clearly knows what they are doing. While we feel like there will be enough Jane / Lisbon stuff in here to be happy (remember, this episode may have functioned as a series finale at one point), they probably left at least something more for the next season to ensure that there could be another additional story or two to look forward to. This could be a fantastic final season of the show, and we just have to hope that it there is some other great story cooked up to send us out on a high note.
