Will we be seeing any more of Cho's girlfriend this season on The Mentalist?
ADAM: You bet. Summer (guest star Samaire Armstrong) will be in the next two episodes. But to hear creator Bruno Heller tell it, you might want to enjoy it while it lasts. "Like many real loves in people's lives, she's both a light in Cho's life and a potential source of darkness and trouble," Heller says. "That story line will have a dramatic and quite moving resolution. [Cho] will be pressed to make a decision. She can be a girlfriend or she can be a confidential informant; using her as both is very dangerous."

 

 

Creator Bruno Heller wants to be very up front about something: "I don't think I'll be giving too much away to say that Red John does not die in this episode," he says with a laugh. Although Patrick Jane won't catch his nemesis, he will meet a cocktail waitress (Emmanuelle Chriqui), for whom he falls head over heels. "She comes into Jane's life at a very, very low ebb," Heller says. "He's at a moment when he really needs a helping hand and a little ray of light, and she provides that. And then things start to get weird." So weird, in fact, that Jane shoots one of his own team members! What? "Don't believe everything you see," Heller teases.

2 UK people have tweeted that they've spotted Simon in London, 1 saying he was in Dover Street, Mayfair at about 6.30pm. However, these 2 people do seem to be related, which means just 1 sighting. Filming on 'I Give It A Year' definitely starts next week.

 

Simon's Assistant Matt has tweeted from London "Just another dumb yank stopping traffic to get his picture taken on Abbey Rd." http://instagr.am/p/JrtLCezTU9/

Next, we take a trip to the reader mailbag, where Luis clamors for "scoop on The Mentalist. Anything you can tell me will work!” Well, rather than settle for "any” scoop, how about some juicy goodness regarding the season finale?

 

"It’s a big one,” Owain Yeoman promises us, adding: "Jane really does go off the reservation.” And along the way, the CBI consultant might take someone surprising down with him, literally. "I can say that he will end up shooting….” Er, actually, we’ll save Owain’s bacon and cut him off there. But he does go on to say the shooting "is a really, really big deal for us” and part of "our most action-packed finale to date.” As for the Vegas cocktail waitress being played by Emmanuelle Chriqui, looks like she’ll be a far cry from Entourage’s well-heeled Sloane. "She is kind of representative of Jane at his lowest point,” says Yeoman, "so there’s a whole side of him that we’re going to see that we haven’t seen.”

 

 

What else can you tell me about Patrick Jane's new love interest on The Mentalist?

 

ADAM: Creator Bruno Heller wants to be clear about one thing: Loralei (Emmanuelle Chriqui) is no ordinary cocktail waitress, and as such viewers should take this relationship seriously. "It's certainly not a fling and it's not a spur-of-the-moment booty call or anything like that," Heller says. "She comes into Jane's life at a very, very low ebb. He's at a moment when he really needs a helping hand and a little ray of light, and she provides that."
