The Mentalist 3.15 Red Gold is written by Cindi Grossenbacher, Script Co-ordinator for The Mentalist - this is the first episode she's written (I'm presuming Cindi is female).
Let's hope she's as good a writer as the other new member of the team, Daniel Cerone who penned the following episode 3.16 Red Queen, and also wrote 3.4 Red Carpet Treatment and 3.10 Jolly Red Elf.
