‘The Mentalist’ season 6 finale review: Are Jane and Lisbon finally together?
For six years on “The Mentalist,” you have waited to see if something could happen between Jane and Lisbon .. and on tonight’s new episode. you had an opportunity to finally get an answer. Jane finally started to realize what is feelings truly were, and that now was the only change that he had to make a move on her … if he could figure out a way.
The show wasn’t kidding when it comes to making this a romantic episode. There was the jet plane, the confession, the chase, and so much more. “It was the truth of what I feel” is what Jane told her time and time again, and this was a very nice moment before the angry Air Marshals came and took him away as he made his confession right when she was set to leave to Washington DC.
The end of this episode then came with the big moment: The kiss! The confession! The two are together! This was a moment of great celebration, and for us, a pretty perfect ending. In the event that the show was canceled after six seasons, this could have been enough of an ending … but we are happy that there is more so that we can finally see what these two are like as a couple.
As for Agent Pike, we do feel reasonably bad for him since he seems like a nice guy. But then again, he gets to go be awesome over on “Game of Thrones.” He’ll be just fine. The mystery in this episode was simply okay, but the romance made this one of the most memorable episodes of the show’s entire run. Grade: A-.

I loved the episode. Romance and mystery. Lisbon did not belong with Pike. He was controlling. The kiss was awesome. Bring on season seven.

Cho’s running reaction was priceless. What? I don’t see it.

I wonder if anyone else noticed that after Abbott said “You don’t know”, that Cho seemed to look down and to his left which if I’m not mistaken is said to be the sign of someone lying. When I noticed that it made me wonder if Cho was telling the truth when he said that he didn’t see it, that they were like brother and sister or he was lying when he said that because he had noticed what Abbott said and he just didn’t want to admit it because he thought that it would mean that Lisbon may not leave and go to DC, that she would end up changing her mind and staying to wait for Jane to admit his feelings which was something Cho probably thought Jane wouldn’t do.
I mean from going from saying nothing when Rigsby brought up how he and Van Pelt thought that Jane and Lisbon would end up together, which wasn’t that suprising since Cho seems the type to stay out of his co-workers personal life, to saying how thinking about what Jane thought about Lisbon and Pike would make his head explode, it was a bit odd to hear him saying he thought Jane and Lisbon were more brother and sister.
