More information to fill the lists for cancelled shows of 2012 and renewed shows of 2012. In this case, still working on reviewing the whooping amount of shows that CBS greenlit to come back in one single announcement this week, bringing back most of its shows, and leaving in the bubble only a handful.

Tomorrow´s the big day when Psych Returns. I already watched the episode and wrote a full review with spoilers and quotes from Psych S05E10 Extradition II.
During an interview we had with Psych stars Dule Hill and James Roday, Tami Gill from AccidentalSexiness.com asked them about pitching for a The Mentalist / Psych Crossover.
Here´s what they said
James Roday: You have to come up with that fool-proof argument for CBS of why it makes sense to cross their show that has 100 million zillion viewers with our show that has…
Dule Hill: They’re like, “We think not. You want to take our 100 million viewers to how many viewers? Oh, and what’s the name of the show? Oh, okay, okay.”
James Roday: And then we’d say, “Yes, but our 4 million are crazy, like, they’re foaming at the mouth. They’re like…”
James Roday: “…the best fans of anyone on television. And a lot of your 100 million might be sort of, you know, they might fair-weather fans. This is a way to fuse those two ideas.” If he’s still on the phone at that point, then you should feel good.
So, would you like it if Psych and The Mentalist did a crossover episode? Would you watch it? I know I would

Late at night in the office, Rigsby sneaks up on Van Pelt for some nuzzling. Then Lisbon calls them out for a double homicide. Off to Rancho Rosa.
The victims are Selby and Jana Vickers, each was shot in the chest. They’re parked in a lover’s lane and the $800 price tag is still on Jana’s dress. Jane thinks they were going somewhere fancy and wanted to make an impression. Not a wedding or birthday since there’s no gift, and people they haven’t seen in a while since they’re worried about appearances.
Off to the local high school reunion. A drunk guy mistakes Lisbon for a classmate and kisses her on the way in the door, saying she’s always been “the one.”
A super perky high school girl named Tess welcomes them and Jane is impressed by her diplomacy when he says they’re too old to be class of ’95.
The reunion of Rancho Rosa High is in full swing.
Turns out Selby was an alum.
The organizer, Willow Brock, tells them they were surprised Selby was even coming since he got expelled for a mean prank. It involved Derrick Logan, a “socially challenged boy,” who Selby dragged into the girl’s locker room, stripped and took photos of, which he then posted around the school. The former jock talks about his glory days and Willow mentions she’s doing a twice daily regional TV show in Chicago that’s about to go national.
They’re joined by Gabe Nyland, DA for San Diego county and a candidate for Lt. Gov., also an alum.
Gabe says Derrick Logan moved away and killed himself. A former jock says he thought Derrick was a blackjack dealer.
Cho and Van Pelt check out the Vickers’ apartment. Rigsby calls VP from the office with next of kin info and keeps her on the phone, feeling left out.
Cho plays a message from a guy angry about getting his money.
At the reunion, nobody can remember seeing Selby. Jane manages to accuse one guy’s date of being a prostitute because he’s irritated about a room full of people lying to each other about having changed.
Jane wants Cho to look into Derrick Logan on the theory he’s still mad.
Jane wants to stick around since he never went to high school and finds it all fascinating. Lisbon warns him not to cause trouble.
Cho talks to Selby’s mom, who says his whole life was spoiled by the prank he pulled, until Jana came along. She doesn’t know of any family Jana had. She moved here from Poland and they just met a few months ago and married.
Cho plays Selby’s mom the money message, but she doesn’t recognize the voice. It was from a phone booth in Galleton, which his mom says is where Jana was from.
Back at the reunion, Jane watches grown up drunk jocks apologizing yet mocking a former band geek. When the geek goes for a drink, Jane buys it for him. He urges the geek to tell the jock off, even if it wouldn’t help, he might feel better.
Off goes Phil the geek, but instead of chatting he socks the jock. And then another jock goes down and some women get hit and they start pulling each other’s hair and suddenly Jane knows he’s going to have some explaining to do to Lisbon.
Back in the office, Jane throws a pen at Jane for the brawl. He contends it was a “cathartic brawl.”
Cho has found a connection from Jana to a dude in Galleton named Terrence.
Rigsby has the Derrick Logan update. He moved to Virginia, became a heroin addict and died of an OD at 23. Jane’s disappointed, he thought Derrick might be the killer.
Cho and VP visit Terrence, who left the threatening money message on Jana’s machine. As they’re talking, Terrence whacks Cho and takes off running. He’s made Cho angry and pays for it. Cho knocks him on his can.
Back at CBI, Terrence says Jana was his mail order fiancee, but she left him for Selby. He threatened to turn her into the INS. He says he just wanted the money he put up to bring her over, $25,000. He says she said they’d pay it. They said they’d get it from an old friend and promised it to him Monday.
Lisbon checks the attendees list and sees that Gabe Nyland flew in the day before, with contradicts his stuck-in-traffic on the 101 story.
Jane and Lisbon visit him in his hotel. He says he came up for a fundraiser and lied because he didn’t want his classmate thinking he was shilling.
Jane asks to see the bedroom. When Gabe refuses, Jane busts in anyway and finds Tess, the high school blonde who was working the front desk.
Gabe contends they were talking about campaigning. When he acts overly protective of her, Jane connects the dots and realizes Gabe’s her dad.
He calls Selby a “super nice guy,” who he ran into at a gas station a year ago. He says Selby just wanted to be liked and only pulled the prank on Logan because he wanted to be popular.
Jane heads to the reunion carnival. Willow and former jock are there and not happy to see him.
Jane helps himself to a burger and joins an older looking man who’s siting wearily and holding his head. It’s Vice Principle De Souza, who hates the reunions. He says Selby was a good kid until the thing with Logan.
De Souza shows Jane to the locker room where it happened and says Derrick was “off” even before it happened. He says Selby never gave a reason why he did it.
De Souza says Derrick was blind folded but recognized his attacker’s voice and when he confronted Selby, he confessed readily like the helpful, honest boy he always was.
Back at the office, Jane tries to get Rigsby to memorize all the information about the 67 reunion attendees by building a memory palace. Risby smells “some dubious scheme Lisbon doesn’t know about” and so Jane busts out the “I’ll tells Lisbon about you and Van Pelt.” He tries to deny it, but Jane won’t give up. And so Rigsby gets to build a memory palace.
Back at the reunion they’re dancing to the Macarena. Lisbon is nervous, telling Jane whatever they’re trying better work.
Rigsby rolls into the reunion (to Snow’s “The Informer”) in a slick suit, gelled hair and tons of confidence. He puts on Derrick Logan’s name tag. Jane’s ready for the fireworks.
Risbgy struts around, remembering every detail about every person there, including the jock’s stats. He puts on super happy cheesy for everyone.
He stops for some punch near Jane and confesses he’s hating every minute. Jane reminds him, no big deal, if he blows it he’ll only tell Lisbon.
And then it’s time for the achievement awards. Rigsby takes the stage from Willow and wants to say a few words.
He reminds them how bad it felt the last time he was there. The jock puts down his glass and heads out the back. Lisbon follows, but sees he was only leaving to puke. “Derrick” tells the class that someone told Selby to do what he did to him. Van Pelt listens to Phil the geek make a call, but it’s just to his wife. Rigsby says he knows who pulled the prank and babbles until Jane gives him the kill sign.
Jane and Lisbon use a key card to get into Willow’s room. She’s packing for Chicago. Lisbon think she arranged a meeting with Selby to give him the money so his story wouldn’t ruin her chance of her show going national.
Jane takes her back to high school, when she was queen of the school. He thinks she manipulated Selby because Derrick crossed her somehow. He finds a photo on her bed stand of her smiling next to a naked and tied up Derrick Logan. Selby’s proof.
Jane says she killed him because she didn’t want to risk being blackmailed again.
She says Derrick told everyone she let him touch her.
She says things would have stayed perfect if Selby hadn’t met the Polish girl and grown a spine.
Later, as she’s being taken away, Jane chocks the photo up to a trophy to remind her of how great she was in high school.
Lisbon asks Jane how he got Rigsby to play the part of Derrick Logan. Jane says he told Rigsby she said he could have Monday off. And then Mr. Big’s “More than Words” starts playing and Lisbon and Jane share a dance, high school all over again.
We are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of the season.
Although CBS hasn´t already renewed The Mentalust for a second season. Now, reports say that CBS is going to renew The Mentalist for a new season. So, everything´s good!
The Mentalist is an American crime procedural television series which debuted on September 23, 2008 on CBS.
Simon Baker stars as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with a fictionalized version of the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his amazing skills of observation. He also makes frequent use of his mentalist abilities and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium using paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. He abandoned his pretense out of remorse when his attention-seeking behavior attracted the attention of a serial killer who killed his family.
The pilot episode had an audience of 15.6 million viewers in its first airing, and 7.8 million in a re-airing three days later. It also introduced some of Jane’s backstory, indicating that his wife and daughter had been murdered five years before the series began by a serial killer known as “Red John.”
On October 15, 2008, CBS ordered a full season of The Mentalist. The December 2, 2008 episode (“Flame Red”) was the highest-rated television show of the week, marking the first time a program in its first season had achieved that distinction since Desperate Housewives four years earlier.
On January 7, 2009, the show won the award for “Favorite New TV Drama” at the 35th People’s Choice Awards.
Are you happy that The Mentalist gets renewed for a second season by CBS?

If not… if you can´t wait to know… Thispost is for you.
Jane, Lisbon and Rigsby trek through the woods behind a local police chief. She leads them to a crime scene, a dead private school kid, beaten to death. He was found when they activated his ankle bracelet.
The principal explains that Justin had some truancy issues recently at Bright Arch, a wilderness program and high school for troubled youth. Jane picks up on the fact that the principal doesn’t like Chief Brody. She’s not impressed with Jane’s glib attitude. Jane thinks he was dumped in that spot after a struggle uphill. He goes looking for the spot. He thinks Justin was buried alive. And lo, they find an empty shallow grave.
The Bright Arch kids gather around Principal McLain and CBI team. He tells them they can learn and grow from the experience. A kid named Brian asks if they get to do the sacred fire ceremony on Friday. He tells the students to answer the CBI questions.
Justin’s parents arrive. His dad comes after McLain, blaming him.
Lisbon talks to them. Dad David heard about the program from a friend. He said Justin had become violent lately, but just shouting.
Jane inspects a photo of McLain in his office, decked out in camo and hunting gear. He says students come by word of mouth. They follow a code of honor and discipline by learning wilderness skills. A dour girl named Cassie brings the principle some tea.
When she leaves he says she’s blossomed recently.
Justin had been there three months. When he left campus for several hours yesterday and wouldn’t tell them where he was he got eight hours in the “reflection room” and ankle monitoring for two weeks. “Confinement and dog collars,” says Jane, “that’ll certainly encourage a little discovery of inner resources, I guess.” The principal says it’s in the brochure.
Jane asks if he’s heard of Z Krew, a name carved into a tree. Nope.
Cho and Rigsby dig through students’ tents. Cho calls the place spring break in Cancun compared to juvie, which he was in as a kid. He finds what could be a treasure map. They follow it.
Jane watches an uptight woman in short shorts barking at students while leading a knot-tying class. He cuts her down to size by tying her hands and sending her to check with her boss. The kids, impressed that he put their teacher in her place, are happy to talk. He finds a boy named Elliot who’s been there for two years. They say Justin was basically good, but fought a lot. They look at each other nervously when Jane asks what he was doing in the woods. Somebody mentions the Ax Man Zachariah who lives in the woods. A kid says a year ago they found a townie kid chopped up in the woods. He asks them about Z Krew. Nobody answers.
Lisbon puts a stop to his questioning when the principle and untied teacher return.
Rigsby and Cho wander through the woods and come upon a cabin, marked on the map with a skull and crossbones. They find Justin’s shoe print nearby.
When they knock on the door no one answers. Then they turn around to find a wild eyed woodsman with a shotgun on them. Chief Brody jogs up casually behind him, calling him a fool and takes his gun. He called 911 when they knocked. They take him in.
He says he’s never heard of CBI. Cho admits they need better brand awareness. Winston says he has nothing to do with the kids at the program, but they harass him. He built fences, planted poison oak, installed alarms. Three or four of them were at the house the night before last throwing balloons full of red paint. They always wore masks.
Jane asks the principle who Zachariah is and calls him a liar when he says he doesn’t know. Jane accuses him of being scared of Zachariah.
The principle says Winston is a crazy old man who made things up.
Jane addresses the students, with the principal looking on. He asks who wants to see some magic. He holds up his hands and slowly moves them, watching the kids. He singles out a kid scratching his leg, saying he’s going to read his thoughts. He says the kid is thinking about throwing paint bombs at the crazy man’s house the night Justin died.
Jane talks to Warren, who wants to know how he called him out. He tells him about the poison oak rash scratching and the fact that only grows near Winston’s house. He says Zachariah was a lumberjack hundreds of years ago who got pinned beneath a log in the river. He says he was so angry at his friends for leaving him that he chopped off his own arm to free himself then chopped his friends to bits. He says the lumber camp was in the same spot as the school is now. He says Z Krew wears masks so the only people they know is the one who asked them to join the game. He gives up Brian, who goes running as soon as he sees Rigsby and Cho after him. Rigsby tackles him into the lake.
Brian says there’s no talking on Z Krew ops, they cooperate by notes and sign language. He says it’s about running around in the woods, not murder. He thinks Cassie is involved in Justin’s death somehow. He says Justin was in love with her. He saw them arguing.
The principal says it’s ridiculous to think she killed him.
Van Pelt shows up just in time to see Rigsby hosing off outside. He squeezes into a tiny camp tee. Lisbon says Cassie’s missing.
Jane thinks searching for her sounds tedious and takes off on his own. The camp searches.
Jane makes a daisy chain under the bridge leading into camp. He pops up when he spots the principal leaving. He says he’s going into town and Jane says that’s where he needs to go. He get in the passenger seat and they drive through the gate.
The principal asks Jane to get out and shut the game behind him. He says no, that he’ll drive off without him. He has three theories as to why: fear, shame or guilt. Then Jane says: “Cassie, I have a gift for you.”
She pops up out of the back and puts on Jane’s daisy chain. Jane rides with them back to camp, presenting her for Lisbon and Chief Brody. Principal McLain asks for a lawyer and Jane says he was sleeping with Cassie. Brody slaps him.
Back at CBI HQ, Lisbon and Jane talk to her. She says it’s true. Twice a week for a few months. She says she was scared, but McLain’s just a “sad creep.” She says nowhere is safe. Jane suggests Zachariah made her do it. They’re a little unclear on how a legendary zombie lumberjack influenced her.
Lisbon drops in on Rigsby and tells him to arrest McLain for statutory rape. He says he was being caring. When Rigsby accuses him of killing Justin to keep his secret, he asks for his lawyer.
Jane tells the team they need to get back for the sacred fire ceremony.
Back at camp, Jane says they’re going to start with a ghost story. The kids say it’s bad luck to talk about Zachariah. Jane tells them after Zachariah hacked his friends the townspeople built a huge bonfire in this very spot and burned Zachariah alive. He says Zachariah made a solemn vow that if someone writes a Z on the ground and calls his name three times, he’ll take them away. But if the sinner doesn’t repent he’ll take the person away to his lair. The kids scoff at the ghost story. Jane asks if anyone has the nerve to call his name. Three boys do it. Nothing happens. Jane says they forgot the most important part, marking the ground with a Z. He hands his walking stick to Elliot, who makes the mark. There’s a pause where nothing happens and then a hand shoots out of the ground and grabs ahold of him. Jane asks Elliot if he killed Justin. With the hand grabbing onto him, he confesses, scared. Then Rigsby pops up out of the dirt.
Jane compliments Elliot on the system he had going, keeping kids in line with Zachariah stories and McLain in line with blackmail. He says Justin was soft on Cassie but when he found out what she was doing with McLain on his order, he threatened to tell. In flashback we see Elliot bashing Justin’s head in with a rock.
Elliot asks Jane how he knew it was him. Flashback to Cassie bringing McLain tea in a cup with Zs on it, a warning to keep quiet. He was the first one to bring up Zachariah and had been there the longest and then at the fire ceremony he saw he wasn’t buying the schtick because he knew the truth.
Jane walks oustide to see Van Pelt talking to Justin’s parents. He tries to dodge them, but gets called over. They thank him. He tells them their son died bravely and saved a young girl a lot of trouble, grieving parents clearly aren’t his thing.
Now here are Tons and tons of spoilers and the complete recap of The Mentalist – Season 1 Episode 20 – Red Sauce.

If not… if you can´t wait to know… Thispost is for you.
Lisbon blows out her birthday candles and open presents. Jane guesses, correctly, that Van Pelt got her a yoga mat. And then he wins $10 on the fact Rigsby got her a gift certificate for a spa treatment. Then again that Cho regifted her a nice bottle of champagne. Jane says his is on the way.
They get a call.
A man is dead in a pile of sticks, shot in the head. No ID, but Jane thinks he worked in an arcade because he had a token and cheap prize on him. He thinks he came from up river because the river flooded recently and he’s on top of the sticks.
Lisbon swears grumpily that she’s not grumpy that Jane didn’t get her a gift.
They go to an arcade up river. The tokens match. A manager IDs the guy as Ed Diedricksen. He trips all over himself talking to Jane. He says his wife said Ed was away on a family emergency.
They talk to people in the arcade. Rigsby shares that he hates talking to teenagers, it’s like talking to mud. Jane shows some whippersnappers how pinball is supposed to be played.
Cho, VP and Lisbon go to visit Ed’s wife Jenny. They paid for the house in cash, no mortgage advice needed. It’s big.
Rigbsy enjoys himself a lollipop at Jane goes Tommy on the pinball. The kids stand in awe. And then it turns out that Jane hypnotized one.
The kid says Ed would get them weed or loan them money, but would charge a high vig. He tells about a time Ed broke a kid’s finger for flipping him off. He says Ed cussed in something foreign. Jane taps the kid twice on the shoulder and he blinks, looking totally confused.
Jenny watches the team from inside but won’t let them in. Lisbon decides they have reason to believe someone’s life is in danger. They bust down the door and are greeted with a shotgun-wielding Jenny. She says she has people coming.
Jane calls, telling Lisbon he thinks the Diedricksens were in witness protection. And then more armed men rebust in the door. Lisbon IDs her team. The US Marshals ID themselves. Jenny relaxes.
CBI breaks the news about dead Ed to Jenny, and the Marshals. They knew he was missing but that’s all. Ed used to be in the mob when he was Ed Russo.
The US Marshal thinks they must have contacted someone from their old life. Jane tells the Marshals that Ed was selling drugs as a front for a biker named Tiny.
VP and Cho talk to Jenny/Gina. Jane picks up that Gina doesn’t like it there. No good Italian food. She thinks Ed’s old mob boss did it. She says they didn’t talk to anyone from their old life, or anyone at all. She thinks somebody paid a marshal to rat them out. Jane promises her they’ll catch them.
Lisbon hands out assignments. VP and Rigsby drop in on a biker garage. When they ask for Tiny he comes at them. They cuff him. He says Ed was a rat. He says a few weeks ago he and Ed got busted with ten pounds of weed and Ed got out right away. He assumed he was a snitch. But he says he didn’t kill him.
At the office, Rigsby reports on Tiny’s story and says the arrest report shows no trace of Ed.
VP says the old mob boss Sonny Bataglia retired and the new boss would have no reason to want Ed dead. As luck would have it, Sonny retired to a golf course nearby.
Jane interrupts his game. He says he’s not a cop and he’s alone. Sonny responds by telling his goon to shoot Jane. The goon draws a gun.
Jane starts talking, saying there are three reason he’s not terrified. 1 – You don’t get to be Sonny’s age shooting people willy nilly on golf courses. 2 – He can significantly improve his golf game. 3 – He knows where to find Eddie Russo.
Sonny starts on golf first.
Lisbon welcomes the two US Marshals to her office. She asks them if they got Eddie off the hook for a drug bust. They say no. Exley says Russo was all out testimony and no use to them anymore. He thinks it was either the local cops or she’s just as misinformed as she is disrespectful and dumb.
Lisbon notices Jane is gone. She decides not to send someone after him.
Back on the course, Sonny follows Jane’s advice, singing as he swings. He’s pleased. Now he’s ready to talk Eddie Russo. Jane sees that Sonny didn’t know. He breaks the news. Sonny doesn’t know who did it. He says if he finds out, he’d like to send whoever did it some flowers and a thank you note. He gives Jane his number. He says it must have been an angry husband, Ed was a degenerate skirt hound.
Jane reports back to CBI, saying that Sonny didn’t do it.
VP reports that Ed’s car was just towed from outside the arcade, which means someone picked him up from work.
Cho and Rigsby talk to the manger to find out who picked Ed up. His wife, a pretty black lady about 5′ 10″, which perfectly describes Marshal Knox.
Marshal Exley comes storming into CBI, angry they put in an official request to talk to his partner. Lisbon tells him the police department confirmed Knox sprung Ed the night he got arrested. They can’t find her.
Police officers inspect a stopped car. Knox is at the wheel. She’s barely breathing. They find pill bottles and a note saying “I’m sorry.”
They take her to the hospital. Lisbon tells Exley his partner looks like she’s going to be OK. Jane suggests Exley talk to Knox. He thinks Knox was having an affair with Ed and Exley was secretly in love with her. He says if Exley knew about their affair he’d be their prime suspect. Jane says Exley’s best defense is a total lack of detective skills.
Cho and Lisbon go to the hospital. Jane dials VP’s phone and tells her to ask for Mary. Sonny answers. He does the same thing with Rigsby’s phone and asks Rigsby if he has shiny sweats.
Jane preps VP as they go talk to Jenny. She’s supposed to stay until Gina’s comfortable and then leave. Jane calls Sonny himself, asking if anyone has left any messages for Mary. Sonny curses him out.
Jane brought groceries. He plans to cook for her.
Later, he stirs the sauce and talks to Gina. VP gets her call and excuses herself. Jane shares wine with Gina after a good meal. He tells her they think her husband had an affair with Knox. She doesn’t buy it, says that he changed. But Jane doesn’t buy it. He asks her to confess to killing Eddie.
He tells her he talked to Sonny, and he thinks that she encouraged Eddie to rat in the first place. He tells her she can make him look good with the cops and confess or make him look good with Sonny and die. Jane dials and hangs up, saying Sonny’s associate is on his way. Then he dials Sonny to “prove” how mad he is. Jane refers to the woman they spoke of earlier, saying he’ll put her on. Sonny, irate about prank calls for Mary, lets loose a string of descriptive and vulgar death threats, which Gina believes are meant for her.
Jane asks her which it’ll be, confess or die. Jane looks out the window, saying he’s there. Gina sees Rigsby walking up in his sweats and shades, looking like a hired gun.
Jane takes out a tape recorder as she confesses, saying she followed Eddie and shot him then dumped him over the edge. Agent Rigsbys arrests her. She knows she’s been played.
Exley tells Lisbon and Jane that Knox wanted to apologize personally. He apologizes, too, saying he was out of line. Jane hugs him.
Lisbon tells Jane that toying with mafia bosses is no way to close cases. He thinks Lisbon is still grumpy about the birthday present thing. He sticks a bow on her office door. She opens it. There’s a pony inside.

Patrick Jane pulls into CBI HQ. He notices Van Pelt chatting with a man at the pastry cart outside.
She comes in to work super cheery. Jane tells Rigsby about the guy who kissed Van Pelt outside. Jane gets a text on his phone and runs to show Lisbon: “There’s a very large bomb nearby, are you smart enough to find it?”
They evacuate. Lisbon thinks it could be a hoax. Jane’s bothered by the personal nature of the text. He goes to inspect large cars nearby. Lisbon gets a call and stops following him. Jane finds a man tied up inside a van, gagged. The timer ticks down, but they can’t get the door open. On the man’s forehead it says “U R Next.”
Lisbon drags him away from the van right as it explodes. Jane is thrown rump over tea kettle across a car hood. Still, he stands up, seemingly OK. But there’s something in his eye, he says. He can’t see.
He sits in a hospital bed with his eyes bandaged. He has a minor concussion and temporary blindness caused by blood clots. It might take 48 to 72 hours for his vision to come back. He’s low on patience.
Cho visits. The victim is a stock broker named James Medina. He was reported missing recently. Jane says whoever did it wanted him to watch Medina die.
Lisbon reassures Jane that he’ll be fine. She gives Cho a look when Jane pouts. He tells them not to look at each other like that. He can feel their pity.
At the Medina residence his wife sends their kids to stay with their aunt. She says her husband received hate mail, phone calls, email. An ex coworker named Terry Andrews came by the house a few times and was threatening.
Andrews was a statehouse employee, security. And he has a minor record. He’s a bouncer at a club. Lisbon and Rigsby pay him a visit. He’s not sorry Medina is dead. Rigsby puts a hand on him to take him downtown and he fights him off. Lisbon cuts corners, pulling out her Taser.
Jane comes in to HQ, eyes bandaged, following an officer and using a cane. Van Pelt and Lisbon try to tell him he’s not supposed to be there. He claims his other senses are heightened as he stumbles through the office.
Rigsby interviews Andrews. He says he was alone when Medina was killed. Jane blunders into the interview and asks outright if Andrews killed Medina. He says he could have and he wanted to, but he didn’t.
They got into it because an envelope fell off Medina’s desk and Medina told him to pick it up and he wouldn’t. Jane wants to hold his hand. He has artistic fingers.
Jane pronounces him innocent then he walks out.
In the office he takes the bandages off his eyes, but he still can’t see. Jane says Andrews is filled with anger, but not guilty anger. Lisbon cracks up, saying she’s going to make him a super hero outfit.
Jane is convinced there’s a connection between Medina and him. He wants to visit with the widow.
At her house, Jane asks to hold some of James’ things to get a “sense of his being.” Lisbon thinks Jane’s being a nut, but he’s just pouring on the touchy feely.
From a horseshoe charm, he guesses they liked horses. He can tell a Rolex is expensive. He asks what the engraving is. It was a bull, from the brokerage.
Jane remembers meeting a woman and holding the same watch. He thinks years ago he did a psychic reading for someone else at the same firm. He can’t remember who, but he thinks it’ll be in his records.
Rigsby sees Van Pelt get a text from her boyfriend.
Rigsby wants Jane to find out about Van Pelt’s boyfriend. So Jane calls her over, saying that they were wondering who the man she was kissing by the coffee cart was. She says it’s none of their business and storms off. Rigsby isn’t pleased with Jane.
Jane sits by Van Pelt. He says she and Rigsby need to talk. She looks through Jane’s files. She asks why who she’s seeing is anyone’s business. Jane says he’s just nosy, but Rigsby loves her. He’s just scared of commitment. And she’s attracted to him, but emotionally closed off because of a trauma in her past. By the way she listens quietly, it’s clear he’s right.
Van Pelt opens Jane’s client list and runs it against the broker records. Carol Gentry is a match.
Flash back to the Jane residence 8 years ago, Jane telling Carol her mother truly forgives her. She doesn’t understand. Her mother was a vicious, evil woman and Carol always took care of her, what could she forgive her for? Jane tries to recover, saying that it’s complicated. Then they run out of time. Carol gives him a check and she leaves, dazed.
Remembering it, Jane looks like he feels like a turd. He stands up to walk away, but collapses.
Minelli, the director, allows Jane to stay once he’s been checked out, if only to protect him from the bomber.
They start to discuss the possibility of Carol as a suspect, but it can’t be her; she killed herself eight years ago and left no family, Jane says.
Van Pelt cross-checked client’s spouses with the brokerage firm. Jill LaMott’s husband worked there. Jane remembers her, too.
He flashes back to the same scene with the woman and the watch, but remembers her this time. She talks about a change she noticed in her husband. She gives Jane his watch to hold. Her husband seems preoccupied. She thinks he might be unfaithful. Jane holds the watch and breathes deeply, saying he’s sensing something. He tells her that her husband hasn’t been honest with her, or happy. He tells her she has to confront her husband.
At Lynch-Halstead brokerage firm. The boss vaguely remembers her husband Paul, who completely fell apart after his wife divorced him. Coincidentally, Medina was the one who fired him.
At the office, they look into his record as Jane listens. Paul ended up on the streets and his wife took their son.
Cho and Lisbon go to follow up leads and she forbids everyone from taking Jane anywhere.
As Van Pelt and Rigsby chat, her boyfriend Dan drops by. Van Pelt does not handle it smoothly, nor does Rigsby, who refuses to shake his hand. He asks if they have a problem. Rigsby says no, but after thinking about it, he changes his mind and takes Dan into the men’s room, telling him if he ever causes Van Pelt pain, he’ll hurt him. Dan assures him he’s a nice guy.
And then, when Rigsby’s back is turned, nice guy Dan kicks him in the back of the knee, whacks him over the head, knocks him down and out and cuffs him on the bathroom floor.
Rigsby lies bloody and cuffed in the bathroom to the stall.
Dan straightens his tie and goes to find Van Pelt, acting like everything is fine. He’s dying to meet the psychic character she told him about.
She takes him over to Jane, asleep on the couch. They wake him up. He still can’t see. He shakes Dan’s hand. Jane asks where Rigsby, Cho and Lisbon are. They’re all alone.
From feeling his hands, Jane figures that Dan builds things with them. He smells faint chemicals.
As Jane stands to get food, Van Pelt says she’ll get it for him. When she’s out of earshot, Dan leans in to Jane and asks if he thinks he’s dumb. If he makes one move, he’ll shoot her in the head. Jane understands.
On the other side of the room, Lisbon calls Van Pelt on her phone. They found Paul’s homeless squat. They found out he has a son: Dan. Van Pelt tries to react, but Dan has a gun on her. She hangs up on Lisbon. He says he needed her to access the state lot. She tells him to give up, but he says he’s in too deep. Jane tells her to do as he says. Dan confronts Jane for ruining his life, so what if his dad cheated on his mom?
Dan handcuffs her and takes them both outside.
The security guard is just locking up. Jane says good night to him and takes the pause to elbow Dan in the stomach, telling Grace to run. The security guard pulls his gun, but is too late. Dan shoots him (he lives) as Jane and Van Pelt run and hide behind cars. They’re heading for her car. She can’t drive handcuffed and he can’t see. He says they’ll manage.
Jane drives, poorly, as Van Pelt tells him where to go. Dan sees them and fires. Jane drives around the lot, hitting pretty much everything as Dan keeps firing. Jane backs into a car and they stall out. Dan approaches the now shot-out passenger side window and takes aim.
A gunshot rings out. Lisbon shoots Dan in the back. Just in time. “What happened?” Jane says. “Did something good happen?”
Back inside, Van Pelt finds Rigbsy and hugs him, apologizing. She’s thisclose to kissing him when the janitor comes in. The moment passes.
The next day, Lisbon watches as Jane takes off his bandages again. He pauses a moment before opening his eyes. He sees Lisbon, but tells her she has no idea how good it is to see her face, Rigsby. Ah, what a card.
