Are Lisbon and Pike starting to struggle? (6x20)

For most of their short relationship so far on “The Mentalist,” Pike and Lisbon have gotten along swimmingly. They have some obvious things in common professionally, but based on everything that we’ve seen from them so far, there are also plenty of things that they don’t have in common

Well, we may have also figured out now that Lisbon is no fan of old movies. Also, she’s also struggling with some issues with moving to DC that she’s not entirely comfortable with talking about with Pike. Is it Jane? We have to consider that it could be, but at the same time, it’s hard to really tell just how much those issues are on the forefront of her mind. Did she not date anyone in the two years that Jane was away after killing Red John, or did seeing him again suddenly think that the two could have some sort of tangible future together?

Given that putting Pike and Lisbon together for good would probably send fans into a frenzy, it is hard to see “The Mentalist” end the season / possibly the series with something like that. They are so much more likely to say goodbye with at least something in the Jane / Lisbon camp, and that means very bad news when it comes to Pike. We feel for the guy, but at the same time, that’s just the way TV works. He doesn’t seem like a bad person at all, and on most shows, he would be the perfect person to sweep a character off their feet. It’s just the wrong show at the wrong time for him here, so all of you who like to ponder fictional futures for characters can imagine him going off to Washington and finding someone else.
