Even this Pike as Lisbon's love interest makes as much sense as McAllister being Red John------some FBI agent asks out Lisbon on a date after meeting her once, she fucks him and then on the second date he wants her to move to DC with him ---- all in two episodes? Is he gonna propose on the third date? Let's hope he saves that for the finale -----------the whole Lisbon "New Beginning" storyline hasn't made any sense----- after Jane killed Red John and the CBI disbanded super agent Lisbon joins some boring sherif dept? Then just drops everything to join the FBI and move to Austin ------- the only thing that gives me hope that Pike isn't just some boring love interest is that actor is also in Game of Thrones and he is awesome in it He has the potential to do an evil turn ---- The Mentalist is what it is ..... a network tv crime procedural staring a character that is a Sherlock Holmes rip-off
