The pair ended season 6 with a crowd-pleasing declaration of love and their first kiss, but the pair will need to dial back the PDA as soon as they enter the office. Jisbon will take that idea to the extreme, however, as the endeavor to keep their coworkers from discovering their fledgling relationship.

"Jane and Lisbon decide to keep their new relationship a secret from their colleagues as they investigate the murder of an undercover agent," reads a CBS teaser for the premiere, "Nothing But Blue Skies."

The couple's desire for discretion may turn out to be a good idea, particularly with by-the-book Agent Vega (Josie Loren) joining the team.
