| The Mentalist Season One | | In its inaugural season, The Mentalist tells the tale of Patrick Jane, an independent detective working for the California Bureau of Investigation. Prior to working for the CBI, Jane made a living as a fake psychic. However, the course of his life was altered when his wife and daughter were killed by serial killer, Red John, who is now Patrick Jane's sworn enemy. Jane now uses his skills as a Mentalist to help the CBI solve cases. The CBI team he works with consists of Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon, and Agents Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and rookie Agent, Grace Van Pelt.

| The Mentalist Season Two
|
| In this season, the Red John case was reassigned to Agent Sam Bosco and his team. Jane bugged Bosco's office to keep up to date with the case. However, things went bad when Red John decided he missed Jane, and he convinced Bosco's assistant to murder Bosco and his team. With the CBI already hurting at the lost of three of their own, Director Minelli handed in his resignation and thea new boss, Madeline Hightower, was brought in to replace him. Meanwhile, Rigsby and Van Pelt finally gave in to their feelings for one another and began 'secretly' dating (okay everyone knew but Lisbon). When Hightower found out, she gave RigsPelt an ultimatum, end it or one of them has to leave the unit. Rigsby decided he loved Van Pelt enough to want to transfer out of the unit, but Van Pelt didn't feel the same way. She sent Rigsby packing and both agents remained on the team. Red John managed to make an appearance in the season finale, saving Jane's life and kidnapping Jane's potential new love interest, psychic Kristina Frye.

Is this the end of LaRoche? So many questions... is it September yet?
