The Mentalist - Aingavite Baa, S02E18

Leave it to Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) to manipulate a woman who was shot in the head and, as a result, has amnesia into revealing who shot her in the first place.

Oh Jane, I do so enjoy watching you work, but sometimes it is just irritating how much you get away with and how easily you figure out details which escape the rest of your police trained team. Despite the fact that I know Lisbon (Robin Tunney), Cho (Tim Kang), Rigsby (Owain Yeoman), and Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) are all good at their jobs, they have yet to break a case without Jane having manipulated the players.

But I will continue to watch, regardless, as it amuses me to see what kind of trouble Jane will get into next.
I may not continue to watch, however, if Lisbon's hair style is not changed soon. It does not suit her character at all - she looks like a poodle!

And, of course, regardless of the outcome of the case, the big issue of this episode was what would happen to Rigsby and Van Pelt. The pair were finally forced to choose between each other or their jobs. Although it seems a very complicated choice, leave it to Cho to explain things to Rigsby in very clear terms. "Van Pelt or the job."
And Rigsby chose Van Pelt. No surprise there, since he's been in love with her since the moment they met. How could Rigsby make any other choice? But Van Pelt had other ideas. She knew that someday he would resent his choice, resent her for being the reason he had to make it. So she broke things off, despite the fact that it broke his heart, despite the fact that it broke her own heart.
And now they will continue to have to work together, despite the heartache! I wonder how that will work out?
