Episode Description:

Jane notices a suspicious looking man carrying a gun at a political rally and sets out along with Lisbon and new boss Luther Wainwright to prove he's a psychopath on the brink of committing murder.

It's reported that Simon will be attending the Emmys, but not presenting

 

with Madison McLaughlin who plays Lisbon's niece Annie

 

We've been getting quite a few tweets about Casting News which have been buried amongst other tweets, so I've created a new forum thread for them.

 

 

Poor quality but different to the CBS one

 

 

 

PATRICK JANE, NOW REINSTATED AS A CONSULTANT FOR THE CBI, MUST WORK WITH A NEW TEAM TO FIND WHO KILLED A POPULAR PERSONAL TRAINER, ON "THE MENTALIST," THURSDAY, SEPT. 29

 

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.

Here are some of the spoilers that interested me most:

 

"We have no plans for Hightower return but anythings possible."
"New thrills in season four will be about Jane's past. Starting with Ep. 403."
"We have discussed how Jane joined the CBI and there just might be an episode about it in the future."
"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."

The Courier Mail (Aus) September 15th

 

 

IT MIGHT look like serious business solving murders on Nine's The Mentalist but there's fun and games when the cameras stop rolling.

 

The set is practically the UN of television - with representatives from England, Wales, Korea and, of course, Australia in the form of Simon Baker - in the cast and crew.

 

And with Welshman Owain Yeoman playing opposite Baker there are pranks back and forth.
"Brits and Aussies share that same sarcastic sense of humour," Yeoman told Confidential.
"We never let anyone get away with anything."

 

Such as when Baker (pictured) was nominated TV Guide's sexiest man on television.
"We made sure there were a few copies of the magazine lying around the set, you know, in the interrogation room and things like that," he said.
