TV GUIDE: RETURNING FALL SHOWS: WHERE WE LEFT OFF
... The Mentalist (CBS)
Premieres: Sunday, Sept. 29 at 10/9c
Where We Left Off: Just as Patrick Jane narrowed his list of Red John suspects down to seven names — Bret Stiles, Gale Bertram, Raymond Haffner, Reede Smith, Bob Kirkland, Sheriff Thomas McAllister and Brett Partridge — the serial killer proved to be one step ahead. Not only did he know Jane's list, he vowed to begin killing again until Jane caught him.
What's Next: Creator Bruno Heller confirms that viewers will learn Red John's identity by the end of the calendar year! "We're not bumping off the suspects one by one," he says. "Some will meet an unhappy end, others will live to the denouement." Drawing the mystery to a close will have major impact on the show. Not only will both Owain Yeoman and Amanda Righetti leave the series at midseason, but Jane and Lisbon may be forced to re-evaluate their relationship. "All these years, Jane's always said, 'I'm going to kill that bastard,'" Heller says. "Lisbon's always said, 'I understand you want to do that, but I am the law.' Now that issue is not a theoretical one, it's a real one."
