ADAM: Lisbon will indeed be sidelined, but it's nothing serious. Her absence will, however, force Hightower into the field with Jane, which series creator Bruno Heller says may alter her hands-off approach. "Hightower gets a firsthand look at how Jane operates, and she becomes less enamored with just letting him do his thing," Heller says. "Once you have to deal with it in the moment, it's not as easy as the theory." But it won't necessarily damage Jane and Hightower's relationship. "From Lisbon's perspective, it's kind of a little worrying and jealous-making that Jane and Hightower get along," Heller says.
