The Mentalist Season 8 Release Date, Plot, Cast, and More Updates

The Mentalist is a suspense television programme based on the life of Patrick Jane, a self-employed CBI consultant who uses his physic medium skills to assist CBI agents in Sacramento, California, in solving murders. Bruno Heller compares the main character to a cross between Sherlock Holmes as well as a street psychic; he is both an investigator who helps people and a con man who spreads lies.

The PLOT

The primary plot, however, is about Patrick Jane’s engagement with the CBI to look into and find Red John, who killed Charlotte Anne Jane’s father, Angela Ruskin Jane, and Jane’s wife, Angela Ruskin Jane. From episodes 4 to 6, the emphasis shifts from common cases to apprehending the psychopath Red John and his imitators. When the FBI intervenes to shut down the CBI in the middle of season 6, the Red John story is resolved, and the show then changes direction for the final 1.5 seasons while introducing some new characters.

The seventh season of The Mentalist closed on the note of Lisbon accepting Jane’s marriage proposal. Abbott rewards Jane with one of his properties later in the final episode for keeping the wedding civil. The episode also reveals Keller’s survival of the blast and his subsequent frenzied hunt for Jane in retaliation. Lisbon, however, announces her pregnancy to Jane and everyone, and the series ends when Jane marries Lisbon.
