CBS kicked off the final season of The Mentalist on Sunday, with The Mentalist Season 7 Episode 1 marking our first look at Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon as an official couple. Was it everything you had dreamed about and more? Watch The Mentalist Season 7 Episode 1 Online We opened the hour with Lisbon still on leave in the wake of her engagement ending. She suggested to her boyfriend (EEEK!) that perhaps he ought to have a key to her apartment. Following the disaster of Pike, she also suggests they keep their romance a secret at the office. How long did you think that arrangement would last? Cho eventually found out the truth, reacting in a matter-of-fact fashion, while Abbot was very quick to pick up on something different between the agent and the consultant. Elsewhere at the office: Agent Fischer left to take care of her sick mother, while Quantico rookie Michelle Vega (played by Josie Loren) is now on board. Jane deduces her military past (she resigned from West Point after her father died) and it appears as if she’s turned the head of Adler. The Case of the Week centered on the murder of an undercover FBI agent outside a bowling alley (he had been looking into gun-running there). Eventually, Jane realized that the victim (many years ago) witnessed the abduction of his best friend, who ultimately died. Could he have bumped into and recognized the kidnapper in present day? Yes. A bit of typically Patrick Jane razzle dazzle (how we’ve missed that!) solved both cases, uncovering the hidden weapons stash and also the alley’s manager as be the former kidnapper/killer. Toward the end of the premiere, Jane bumped into Pike, who asked if he has a “plan.” Is he ready to also offer her a life, a home a family? No, Jane basically admits to Lisbon, but she seems okay with that for now. We end with Jane having a vintage car taking our new favorite couple away from the FBI building. It’s so very nice to have this CBS drama back in our lives, isn’t it?
