No, I am not talking about Lisbon (Robin Tunney)'s new hair style. While I think the curls do not suit Lisbon at all because I simply will not believe that she would put that kind of effort into her hair in the morning, Tunney still looks attractive, so it's not a disaster.
I am referring to the new boss, Special Agent Madeleine Hightower (Aunjanue Ellis). She is fully prepared to upset the balance of our team, and who knows where that will lead her.
For starters, she's threatening Lisbon. Though this is quite sensible, since threatening Jane (Simon Baker) has never gotten anyone anywhere. The problem is that, although Jane doesn't want to see Lisbon get into trouble or be disciplined, he simply can't help getting into trouble. He also continues to believe, and will continue to believe, that not only is he doing the right thing, but that he will always be able to make a situation turn out exactly as he wanted it.
And, while I am very interested to see how her threat will manage to keep its force over the next while, I am much more interested in what will happen to Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) and Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) since Hightower is also aware of their relationship (which is a cute as ever). Unlike Lisbon, she is not going to ignore the lapses in protocol that we ignore because the team is strong anyway, or possibly even as a result of.
Again, we are faced with the consequences of reality. Two CBI agents are not supposed to be romantically involved, and since we have two who are, and who are not super subtle about it, they will have to face the same consequences that real CBI agents would have to face. So what are the writers going to do to keep the events believable, but not break up the team we are so big a fan of.
What do you think they will do?
