Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) had a lot of fun this week, teasing Lisbon (Robin Tunney) about her mixed feeling regarding Grace (Amanda Righetti) and Rigsby (Owain Yeoman), driving around blindfolded in the car of the wealthy suspect, Walter Mashburn (Currie Graham), forgetting to use the clutch in said car so that it would drive off a cliff, allowing him to lead the team to the murder weapon, a fancy red car.
Mashburn, despite the loss of his car, loved the experience. He was not, in the end, the murderer, though there is always hope that he will reappear again, since killing someone would also be a new experience for him as well. Truly, though, watching a man not deny that he was a murderer to enjoy the company of Jane and to see if the former psychic could tell his guilt, that was not only entertaining, but yet another unique step.
Unfortunately, the Mentalist also uses old material. Grace and Rigsby, with their jobs on the line, now suddenly have major relationship issues. Who's job is more important, where is there relationship going, etc. etc.. Frankly, I liked it better when we had the will they/won't they stuff going on. And in the end, Lisbon refused to acknowledge their relationship, which no longer matters since they are clearly on the rocks.
Maybe we'll get the will they/won't they tension back over the next couple of episodes.
Still the episode was a whole lot of fun, and I'm really looking forward to the next one, which will focus on Cho (Tim Kang)!!! About time, I say!
