1x18- Russet Potatoes

What happens when Du take Patrick Jane off the Red John case, complete chaos. At least for now we have a silent fury and another episode filled with utter madness.


The Mentalist Season Premiere opened with that exact front and he was quite ready to pack his things up and go Home before it dawned on him how much his colleagues meant to him, with Lisbon being the kirsche on top.


This week's case file was the traditional million dollar rip off where Jane set a web to catch the unknowing culprit. Don't mind that it has been done several times before, but clever Jane seems to put a new spin to it...

I knew it! I knew that Jane figured out the change in Rigsby and transporter, van Pelt's relationship! He was just waiting for the right moment to use it to his advantage. Although I still thought he could have held out a little longer, but knowing Jane, the temptation was just killing him, he had to blurt it out.

As for Rigsby, denying it only admitted his guilt. Instead of "I don't know what Du are talking about" he should have sagte "Me and transporter, van Pelt, I wish, but Du know that's against the rules Jane". Anything other than how well he handled the 'black mail' moment. Shame on Du Jane, the amount of things...
