With Lisbon suspended and the rest of the team reassigned, Jane is reinstated as a CBI consultant and forced to work with a new team. During the investigation, Jane conspires to bring his former team back together.

Reed Diamond ("24”) guest stars as Ray Haffner, a no-nonsense CBI supervising agent and head of the new team working with Patrick Jane.

"Yes, Red John has been visible in prior Episodes. You've got to look for him like Waldo."
"Let's just say Lisbon and Jane have serious issues to work out this season..."

"The most exciting question of the night will be answered in the season premiere. Did Patrick Jane kill Red John?"
"In some future episode we'll learn more about Red Johns techniques i.e what happened to Christina Frye?"
"You will see new and different sides of CHO in season 4. YOU CAN COUNT ON IT!"
"There will be further dramatic complications between Van Pelt and Rigsby's relationship this season"
"We love Currie Graham aka Mashburn and we hope to have him back."
