The Mentalist's Agent Lisbon is keeping her new relationship on the down low, particularly around Patrick Jane.
Has Patrick Jane Met His Match? John De Lancie Spars With Simon Baker On 'The Mentalist'
Two new sneak peeks for "Silver Wings of Time" won't tell viewers anything about the case of the week, but they will help inform Lisbon (Robin Tunney) and Jane's (Simon Baker) tenuous friendship in the wake of Lisbon's date with Agent Marcus Pike (Pedro Pascal).
Picking up the morning after "Violets," Lisbon will drop by this week's crime scene in a taxi and Jane will be quick to realize why, even if Lisbon claims the cab is only because her car broke down. Meanwhile, the former CBI agent will be keeping her voice low as she sets up another date with the art squad member with Jane standing nearby (see videos below).
Will Lisbon Move To DC With Pike On 'The Mentalist'?
Considering Lisbon and Jane have no actual romantic history, why is Lisbon tiptoeing around the faux psychic when it comes to her new boyfriend? According to Executive Producer Tom Szentgyorgyi, it could have to do with Jane's mental state at the end of "Violets."
"I think Jane was feeling curiously like a third wheel - something he doesn't feel very often - and wondering why he felt that way," Szentgyorgyi told TV Line. "Pike is with us through the end of the season, and he will become a increasingly important figure in Lisbon's life, so Jane is wondering what he's feeling, because he's been the most important man in Lisbon's life - and suddenly he might not be."
Find out how the Lisbon/Pike/Jane story plays out when The Mentalist airs Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
