    Highly Predictable Far-fetched episode. When it was solved 10 minutes in I knew the episode would be worse than any. The Mentalist writers I guess felt they had to create bad obstacles after for interest or whatever. Why didn't they pretend to have a lead, follow Haibach and find her? Things can still go wrong and Jane could have used his mentalist skills manipulate the lawyer.

    The second I read the press release I knew it was him and an accomplice. I don’t expect realism but I hate working it out before an episode airs and when they take liberty with small basic facts like you can hold a gun, fire after a couple shots to the chest. Get a family nutcase to help the stalker kill people who happens to catch her escaping. Haibach wants to hurt Jane so he killed La Roche and the da but never went after him. LOL. A obsessed stalker out for blood does not focus on him till the last scene. The writers should have watched criminal minds because Haibach as the stalker is too out of reality. Weak episode I really hope the ratings are better I think it will be stable and not much higher sadly.

    The good umm rigsby/vanpelt closure it was dragged out to an anticlimactic point though.

    Wow that was exciting. I was so glad to see the bad guy die. I'm also so glad that Wayne and Grace are OK. I will miss them.

    I enjoyed Rigsby acting all crazy and the effect it had on their suspect. I loved how Jane's plan worked out. I loved how the suspect wanted to be in charge and being smarter than Jane. That was his downfall. Nobody is smarter than Jane on a one to one battle. Again Jane's plan to smoke out the whereabouts of Grace was perfectly executed.

    We finally get to see a Jane and Lisbon banter! I feel like I haven't seen Lisbon in forever; is it me or is she not getting as much screen time as she used to?

    You can't read spoilers and claim predictability since you already knew the answer.

    Anyone else a little worried that the "hunting former CBI agents" storyline might be over? It seemed like a cheap and simple way to wrap up a potentially big storyline with little more explanation than "because we had a potential bad guy."


    Overall, it feels like even though The Mentalist is trying to reboot it's just lacking in substance. I'm starting to wondering if it's worth it for an additional season.

    I loved the episode, I don't read spoilers at all and I don't watch the promos so it is all new and fresh every week:) I watch a lot of shows and I think this season is great compared to some of the other shows. Don't think the story is over, cause the other agents were killed by more of a pro where as this episode was about revenge. Sick to death of all the negative comments on spoiler though. Look at any program on here and there are always comments saying its rubbish and I'm not going to watch anymore....well sod off then so we don't have to read your rubbish every week:)

    A few things...

    "Why didn't they pretend to have a lead, follow Haibach and find her?"

    Well, that'd be kind of obvious and something that someone who so painstakingly created solid alibis wouldn't fall for. It's common sense that if you are the lead suspect then they will keep you under surveillance so if he were to simply walk out of the FBI and go to Grace he'd be an idiot (which goes against his meticulous planning), whereas Jane's plan was made to trip him up into doing what he really shouldn't.

    "Haibach wants to hurt Jane so he killed La Roche and the da but never went after him. LOL."



    Haibach doesn't want to just hurt Jane, he wants to hurt the CBI and all that wronged him (which obviously includes Jane). That's a huge difference and explains his actions and makes him completely incomparable to RJ.


    So yeh, tis fair enough if you didn't enjoy the episode but some of the issues you have with it are essentially wrong.

    Best episode in a while. Almost gave me a heart attack when Rigsby was shot though.

    I know i'm going to be in the minority here but i'm sorry this episode to me was really bad.

    The whole stalking the cbi arc has been so badly handled both in storytelling (and in the breaks between the episodes airing) that this ending probably suited it, the writers really are getting tired.

    Firstly it's taken this episode for Jane to basically acknowledge he cares about the people he should, but even in that they screw things up by having Rigsby basically beg Jane to do whatever it takes, i'm sorry that might work in season 1 or 2 but this is season 6 surely Jane should have been at the races without needing to be begged to be.

    It was almost as if they realised they'd had Jane sit on the sidelines on this case right from the get go, went along with keeping him on the sidelines and then to get him off the sidelines they felt like they needed to get another character to give him nudge, again pretty poor writing considering these characters have been together this long, it actually comes across as if the writers don't know the characters or their backstory.

    Halbach's motivations on paper make sense, but he goes after Ardiles, takes out JJ and then kidnaps Laroche, surely his gripe is with Jane and Lisbon yet until the last scene we have no indication of this, again poor writing.

    The reboot hasn't just rebooted the show it's rebooted the characters themselves which is a really bad thing considering the characters are what makes this show different than any other crime show.

    We now get almost no Jane/Cho interaction, barely an acknowledgement that Jane cares for people he should and as for the Lisbon/Jane dynamic which had become such a key part of this show, i'm sorry but a couple of minutes at the end after nothing for weeks just doesn't cut it imo.

    Just taking this episode alone though, the writers are trying to tell us that having one of their closest workmates/friends kidnapped and these 2 people who pre the reboot were almost continually on screen together wouldn't have a conversation while all this was going on, i'm sorry but no not buying it.

    The worst thing of all though was this was a sign off episode for 2 original cast members, Now i can understand that the writers don't have the guts to kill off one or the other or both (although it's pretty pathetic they shot Rigsby twice and he's laughing and joking at the end) but come on give them a memorable send off, let them be heroe's rather than victims who need Jane to figure out what needs to be done.

    This episode would have worked pretty well in season 1 or 2, the cbi arc as a mini arc would have worked well if time and effort was spent on it, but just like RJ time and effort isn't something Bruno or his team do anymore, it hurts me to say that really, but it hurts me more to see what they've done with the show.

    Plot holes galore but great to see them all working together. Makes me a little sad they didn't keep the whole team together post -Red John. Liking Abbott, and didn't hate Kim, although those 2 at the hospital was a bit contrived\awkward.
    At this point really looks like it's a cancellation so I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the season.

    By the ratings information, I was not the only fan forcing myself to watch the second half. It was a bad episode. The only two I liked was Kim and JW

    The writer superimposed Richard Hannah on top of Red John didn't they?

    I agree. I was hoping that the stalker storyline would go on longer and it would turn out that the son of Red John was behind it.

    Actually I'm happy they wrapped up Red John, he had become too much of a super villain. My biggest complaint about Red John was he had too many skills to be a single man. The show hastily created the Blake Association to solve that but then it disappeared.


    I would have thought the remnants of a group of corrupt cops and feds would have the resources and desire to hunt down former CBI agents.

    I agree that Red John had too many skills.


    Your alternative could also work.
