"The Mentalist" Doing Two-Tear Time Jump
by James Hibberd
Nov 20, 2013
Next month, Patrick Jane is going to be two years older.
"The Mentalist" will have a major time jump following Sunday’s resolution of its series-long Red John serial killer storyline. Starting with the Dec. 1 episode, the veteran CBS crime show will pick up a couple years after the CBI was dissolved in the wake of last week’s scandal revealing CBI director Gale Bertram has been part of a massive criminal conspiracy and is likely Red John himself.
(So wait: Does that mean "The Mentalist" will now take place … in the future? Let’s pair Jane with one of "Almost Human‘s" robot cops!).
The show previously had a six-month jump right before the fourth season finale, when Jane faked his breakdown and ran off to Las Vegas.
Creator Bruno Heller confirmed the time-jump to USA Today in a story posted this afternoon. After Sunday’s hour, EW will post a Q&A with Heller and star Simon Baker, and we’ll post our take on this pivotal episode too.
