Specifically, Simon Baker did a fantastic job dealing with Patrick Jane's hatred of video cameras. Apparently, he has not allowed himself to be filmed for more than 5 years, since his last appearance as a psychic and the murder of his wife and daughter. And there was something very honest about Lisbon (Robin Tunney) figuring this out. Jane rarely talks about himself or allows himself to be the victim, so it is no wonder these things aren't obvious even to those closest to him.
I also really appreciated the way Cho (Tim Kang) responded to the reporter. He turned the questioning around, making himself the interrogator, a role we know him to be very skilled at. Again, that was a very crisp message about Cho's personality.
Finally, I could not help but love when Jane told the reporter not to be silly after he had pulled evidence out of the man's pocket and the latter tried to claim he had no idea how it got there. This is so often the defense in such cases, as Jane and the writers are absolutely right, it is silly.
