The Mentalist

My second favorite television show is back for its final season. Before the last episode on sunday Patrick had cut his list of possible red john suspects to just seven after he was given an inadvertent tip by one of red johns that he had met red john and shook his hand. In sundays episode Patrick and the CBI team were investigating the murder of a man in a small town that had happened over two years ago but the body was only recently found. They managed to solve the murder when patrick gathered all  the possible suspects at the local diner. They had learned from the murdered mans wife that she knew he was not faithful in their marriage and that he was last in that area around his disapearence. When Patrick brought that up with the suspects at the diner he speculated that the man flirted with the waitress and then her boyfriend got jealous and hit him with a baseball bat. As the man was running away he tripped and his briefcase fell open with cash spilling out.  At that point the waitress admitted that her boyfriend and another man from the diner decided to kill him and take the money and she had nothing to do with it. The case wasn't much different from other episodes but what happened at the end was quite shocking. Agent Lisbon received a call of a person in distress, she called local police to back her up but they weren't present when she arrived she heard a noise inside and decided to go in even without backup. After searching the house she found the body of Brett Partridge one of the seven red john suspects. Then she is grabbed by a dark figure with the last scene of her unconscious or dead with blood on he face which should make for an intriguing next episode to see how that turns out.
