The Mentalist's Agent Vega is turning heads in the FBI office.

'The Mentalist' Season 7 Spoilers: Will Patrick Jane Leave The FBI? Robin Tunney Explains

Fresh out of Quantico, Michelle Vega (Josie Loren) joined up with Abbott's (Rockmond Dunbar) team during the season 7 premiere. A West Point drop out and by-the-book suit, Vega caused a little friction with Patrick Jane but the newbie may cause an entirely different type of problem between Wylie (Joe Adler) and Agent Cho (Tim Kang).

While Vega certainly turned Wylie's head during "Nothing but Blue Skies," Cho will also express a romantic interest in Loren's character.

"Speaking of Cho and Vega, she adds a different touch of romance to the show," series creator Bruno Heller told Enstars. "There's a bit of a love triangle going on there."

Unfortunately for Cho, his role as Vega's superior may put a crimp in those plans.

"Cho's sort of relationship with Vega is very interesting because he's sort of a mentor to her," teased Robin Tunney (Lisbon). "There's a lot going on because, I think, generally when you have a male and a female and they're close and they're working together [you sort of think], 'Is there room for romance?' With them it's a really fine line because he has taken responsibility for her and they have kind of a big arc throughout the season."
