The Mentalist - Orange Blossom Ice Cream - Review

This week, The Mentalist moves to Beirut, where Jane and Lisbon work as an undercover couple to help Erica Flynn who agrees to help the FBI apprehend her boyfriend, a courier for terrorist organizations, in exchange for amnesty for the past crimes.

The funny thing is watching Lisbon's reaction when Erica on camera says she needs "Patrick". Abbott's comment just add the fun "Interesting woman." Of course, he must have understood something because he's not surprised at all when Lisbon, who previously rejected to go to Beirut, suddenly changes her mind.

Jane and Lisbon's reunion with Erica is a bit awkward. While Miss Flynn wants to have a friendly chat, Lisbon just goes ahead with the interrogation in her professional style, asking her about her boyfriend's work as courier. Also, you can see how she's kinda jealous of Erica Flynn; she's never stood at her. Can you blame her? Teresa and Erica are two opposite women.

Erica is a femme fatale, she knows how to flirt and get what she wants. When she learns of Jane and Lisbon, she does everything she can to make him trust her, because she knows how to play with him.

Teresa is tough, she finds difficulties to express herself and let someone in her life. She found Jane who opened to her and she did the same. They didn't drown into each other - like Erica will say later. The find themselves a way to start again.

Bu Teresa learnt the best from her boyfriend: she learnt how to be a good liar. Since they both know Erica's game, they pretend to fight to fool her. It takes a while to understand Erica betrayed Jan to take all the money and fly without amnesty from the FBI. When she walks out the door, she finds Lisbon ready to arrest her as if she couldn't wait to do that. Sassy Lisbon is always ready to defend her man.

Anyway, Jane soon learns how hard is to trust a terrorist and make him believe he's the right man to work with. First, he's taken by Jan's men to do a 'fresh shower' in order to repeat the names they tell him - I guess every woman wanted to be that towel above Simon Baker's hair in that moment. Once, they know he's good at the memory game, Jan can meet Jane and explains his plan.

Meanwhile, Vega's ambition leads her in a dangerous situation when she crashes with her car into Jon Paul's car. Cho decides it's better she stays in the office with Wylie, also because she lied about Abbott agreed to bring her on the field.  If she keeps on playing with fire, it's going to end fatal. Dear Michelle, friendly reminder Van Pelt had to wait till season 2 to get action on the field.

What do you think about Jane and Lisbon's relationship at this point? Also, what do you think about Vega's behaviour? Share your comments below.
