This week, The Mentalist ends its storyline about the illegal traffic of human organs, but also Lisbon finally makes a choice about DC. The whole story started on episode 6.19 and it was really creepy with this blonde girl being abducted, till the discover of a human traffic, but I'm glad at least some of those poor girls have had their happy endings. Everyone in the team got involved: Cho kept his promise and managed to save Daniella's little sister from being sold with the other girls; Jane saved the day with Lisbon's help (the scene was hilarious: the two dressed like doctors and pretending to operate on the fake tattoo guy - played by Wiley - while Ridley was watching, in order to get him confessed); Fischer and Cho risked their lives to catch Dr Lark while a bomb exploded in front of them. Once again, Lisbon risked her career to support Jane's plans; just to hear Kim Fischer says "You guys always work together." "Not always." Oh come on, Lisbon, you're a bad liar.
Black Hearts marked the final importance of Teresa Lisbon to her team: she has gained many roles in the FBI. But is she aware of what she'll leave behind for the boring Washington? Lisbon's a friend and confident to Fischer (they had their girls talk about guns, guys and Jane); she's a sister to Cho (the hug scene was really sweet - "I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for you. Whatever decision you make, it's been an honor." - also showing Cho's past as a soldier with that honor thing.); she's a mother to Wiley (she have him a handkerchief to clean up the tattoo on his arm, as a careful mom would do); she's Abbott's pupil (the scene in his office, after they threathened Ridley reminded me of a highschool punishment: Abbott knows Jane is a liar, but Lisbon is a honest person. She can't lie and he doesn't want her to protect Jane's bad behaviour and put her career on risk); she's Jane's partner in crime - the picture here on the left can explain Jane and Lisbon's relationship enough.
Jane and Lisbon need to talk very soon and solve their situation, but it seems that every time they try, something interrupts them. In the last episode, Jane brought Lisbon her coffee. Now their role have exchanged. Another thing Lisbon will be missing is Jane's couch - and his presence. Also "We make a good team sometimes." He's not ready to let her go - plus his face when he sees Lisbon with Pike at the end of the episode explains a lot. But Jane needs to make up with his mind and decide to stop being a con man behind that clown face he wears, and runs towards his happiness - Lisbon. On the other hand, back to high school, if Jane has never been so fast to get the girl, Pike doesn't waste his time. "No pressure", he says, after he proposed to Lisbon to marry him - seriously? This is not the right move: Lisbon has always been an indipended woman for her whole life, and in a month she got a boyfriend, a job offer and a marriage proposal. This is too much for her and she can't handle. Lisbon is already confused, and Pike isn't making things easy for her. It's like Pike understood Lisbon is insure because of Jane's constant presence in her life, and as a smart move to have her for himself, he proposed in the less romantic way ever - just to get the girl. Someone explains to Pike this isn't not a race to win someone's heart. Teresa is dying and hoping Patrick to make a move and say something: she hasn't the courage to tell him about Pike's proposal, and I'm pretty sure in the season finale he will know that at the wrong time and he's going to make a big move to tell his feelings for her. This time, Jane needs to drive faster than Pike to make Lisbon change her mind, because her heart has alreay decided.
Do you think Lisbon will ever tell Jane about her decision to move to DC? Did Pike go too far with his proposal? Share your comments below.
