The Mentalist - Black Gold and Red Blood, S01E06

Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) almost got what's coming to him. That's right, Bosco (Terry Kinney) found the recording device Jane planted under his desk, and so Jane got sent to jail.

If you thought that jail would stop Jane's meddling and prevent him from closing the case, than you do not watch The Mentalist very often. Not only did he gain the confidence and trust of his fellow inmates quite easily, but he also imitated Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) to anger a suspect and get him thrown in jail so that Jane could question him and escaped the prison to get a confession out of the murderer, Sandrine (Ashley Jones* who is appearing in everything these days). And in the end, Lisbon (Robin Tunney) used her influence over Bosco to get Jane released.

He learned nothing from the entire experience, of course, but he will have to find a new way to find out what's going on with the Red John case from Bosco.

It was quite an entertaining episode, and also clever. Exactly what I want when I watch the Mentalist...though perhaps a little devoid of Rigsby/Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) action.
Did you enjoy?
