'The Mentalist' Season 6 Spoilers: Patrick Jane Meets NEW Series Regular In Post-Red John World Sneak Peek VIDEO, PHOTOS
Two years after killing Red John, The Mentalist's Patrick Jane is secretly living south of the boarder, seemingly content until Kim Fischer comes into his life.
A new sneak peek clip from this week's upcoming episode, "My Blue Heaven," shows Jane (Simon Baker) meeting Fischer (Emily Swallow) for the first time at a local restaurant (see video below). While recent previews suggest that the pair will enjoy each others company, Jane should treed lightly since Fischer is actually and FBI agent, according to TV Line.
With the FBI still pursuing the faux psychic for his murder of his serial killer nemesis, Fischer could be poised to bring him in and somehow set him back on the path of crime solving.
"When you're as good a detective as Jane is, it's very hard to walk away even when you want to walk away," said series creator Bruno Heller, according to TV Line. "Some people won't let Jane walk away from what he's so good at. And our new female lead has something to do with that."
However, it does sound like FBI Agent Dennis Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar) will get his chance to arrest Jane.
"You can't go around killing people willy-nilly without some sort of ramification," Heller told TV Line. "Jane is going to be in a position where his personal desires are not the point.... What he does in the future is not going to be entirely up to himself."
