thementalist218smallTonight is the 2-hour series finale of The Mentalist, and it promises to be a good one, considering last week’s episode ended in a cliffhanger! A young man was brought into the FBI by his sister, who claimed her brother was a psychic. Jane, once Lisbon was finally able to get him back to them, scoffs at the idea and tries to get under the young man’s lies, but he was unable to break him. In the end, the young guy’s sister was killed, and he was kidnapped and killed as well, and now Lisbon, Jane, and the rest of the team have to figure out by whom and why.

Meanwhile, Jane seems to have had a breakthrough on his mental state. Does that mean he’s ready to move forward with Lisbon and put the past—and his first marriage—behind him? He’s still wearing his wedding ring, so that’s gotta go at some point… I’ve really enjoyed seeing Lisbon and Jane as a real couple. It’s been a great payoff for those of us who have been shipping them from the very beginning. Seeing them have their happy ending will bring the series full circle for me.

On tonight’s first episode, “Brown Shag Carpet,” Jane agrees to once again pretend to be a renowned psychic and be used as bait in an attempt to lure out a serial killer and give the FBI a chance to apprehend him. Then on the series finale, “White Orchids,” Lisbon accepts Jane’s surprise marriage proposal, but a killer’s quest for revenge may cost them the happy ending they’ve worked so hard to achieve. Owain Yeoman and Amanda Righetti guest star.

To see if Jane can smoke out one final killer and if Lisbon and Jane get their happily-ever-after, tune in to CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, The Mysteries of Laura, The Goldbergs, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, Mystery Diners, black-ish, Best New Restaurant, Chicago PD, Wahlburgers, & Donnie Loves Jenny.

thementalist128smallI’m enjoying the final season of The Mentalist. It’s really nice seeing Jane & Lisbon in a real relationship. He’s struggling with his need to keep her safe, and last week was a prime example of that. When the team set up a sting to catch a killer who was going after a protected witness — and trying to get said witness to the courthouse — Jane basically sent Lisbon on a wild goose chase in order to get her out of the line of fire. She figured it out and was upset with him. I did love that he made no bones about the fact that he would do it again. We’ll just have to see if it blows up in his face…

One of the ongoing stories for this season has been Abbott’s old boss and the secret he has over Abbott. When they were working an operation against a drug cartel, Abbott saw one of the bad guys he’d been surveilling, and rather than let him go to potentially hold up a bus and kill everyone on it as the cartel had been doing, he took it into his own hands and killed the man. Abbott’s boss figured it out, and now that Abbott’s wife is up for a position in Washington, he’s holding it over Abbott’s head to get him to do stuff for him or he’ll let the story come out. Now, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, as he’d be in big trouble for not coming forward sooner, but okay. Jane figured out something was going on and got the story out of Abbott a few weeks ago. He’s already made one play against the guy, but it comes to a head this week.

On tonight’s episode, “Copper Bullet,” when Abbott’s old boss, Agent Peterson, threatens Abbott’s career — and possibly his freedom — Jane devises a risky plan to protect his friend’s future. Dylan Baker, M.C. Gainey, & more guest star.

See if Jane can take down Agent Peterson tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, Criminal Minds, Top Chef, Best New Restaurant, Hot in Cleveland, Wahlburgers, Donnie Loves Jenny, & The Exes.
