Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon will still be new to the dating game when The Mentalist returns for season 7.
The CBS drama will only skip forwards a few weeks when it returns in 2015, according to TV Line. For Jane and Lisbon, the Jisbon relationship will still be in its infancy.
Despite the short time frame, the FBI team will undergo a little shakeup between "Blue Bird" and the confidently titled "Nothing But Blue Skies." Agent Emily Swallow's Kim Fischer is out, and Agent Abbott will bring in a young rookie as her replacement.
Played by Make It or Break It's Josie Loren, Agent Michelle Vega will be fresh out of the academy when she joins the Texas-based team. Although the newbie won't start off on good terms with Jane, TV Line reports that Loren has already been upped to the status of series regular.
Set to air in early 2015 on CBS, the seventh season will start off with "Nothing But Blue Skies" before heading into "The Greybar Hotel," "Orange Blossom Ice Cream," and " Pink Rocks."

Wedding Bells for Patrick and Teresa? Emily Swallow Leaving
The highly-rated police procedural drama series by CBS, "The Mentalist," has been speculated to return to television somewhere in September or October as filming for the upcoming seventh season has already begun, according to reports.
Show creator Bruno Heller revealed to The Hollywood Reporter some insights on what to expect in the forthcoming season, which will include a "satisfying conclusion."
"The pleasures of the show rests in the byplay between Robin [Tunney] and Simon [Baker]. Getting rid of Red John allowed us to focus on that human aspect of the show. Red John, as it turns out, was a convenience for Jane because it meant he didn't have to confront the rest of his life and what he's doing," he said.
With regards to the speculations whether fans could hear wedding bells for Simon Baker's Patrick Jane and Robin Tunney's Teresa Lisbon, the executive producer indicated that there will be resolution for those questions.
"After [Red John] goes, for both Lisbon and Jane, there is a palpable sense of 'What now? Do I really want to continue doing the same thing?' It left the two of them without an excuse to decide where that relationship was going. They had always been able to keep it separate. Those questions start bubbling up and the rest of the season was the resolution of those questions," Heller explained.
Meanwhile, Emily Swallow took to her social media to confirm the alleged news of her not returning to season 7.
After appearing to 14 episodes in "The Mentalist," Swallow, who plays an FBI agent named Kim Fischer, will leave the team. The site also speculated that there's likely another female character to take Fischer's place in the story.
Zap2It, on the other hand, indicated the return of Morena Baccarin as Erica Flynn, a matchmaker who murdered her husband. The character was last seen escaping from prison and later called Jane offering some information in exchange for pardon.

Emily Swallow Won't Return As Kim Fischer, Cast In Bravo Series
Emily Swallow will not return as Kim Fischer during season 7 of The Mentalist.
After only 14 episodes, the FBI agent will leave the team. Swallow confirmed recent rumors on Monday.
"Don't be sad! I'll still be popping up on your tv screen :)," Swallow tweeted in response to a concerned fan on Sunday.
The actress will indeed continue her TV career, this time on Bravo's Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce.
It is currently unknown why Swallow was written out of the upcoming season. The character of Jane Fischer only appeared in the post-Red John world, and it looks like another female agent will quickly take her place. Josie Loren will appear as rookie Agent Michelle Vega in the 13-episode seventh season, and she will probably be introduced in the premiere.
Filming for season 7 is already underway, with episode 3 ("Orange Blossom Ice Cream") already completed and episode 2 ("Graybar Hotel") currently in progress. The premiere, "Nothing But Blue Skies," will shoot next.

‘NYPD Blue,’ ‘Franklin & Bash’ alum to guest
Who is the latest actor joining the world of Patrick Jane? It’s someone who may already know a thing or two about solving cases on TV.
Per a post on her official Twitter, “NYPD Blue,” “The Jamie Foxx Show,” and “Franklin & Bash” actress Garcelle Beauvais is going to be guest-starring on an upcoming season 7 episode of “The Mentalist.” As for who she will be playing, all we can tell from some photo online is that she will be someone within the world of law enforcement.Her character has a badge, after all, and seems to mean business.
“The Mentalist” is still in the early stages of season 7 production, but has already taken a big risk in filming in some pretty public places. Luckily, they don’t have anything that spoiler-related that they necessary need to hide this early on in the season. We know that Jane and Lisbon now know how the other one feels, and we’re assuming that they’ll try to make a relationship work now. As for whether or not it will, that remains to still be seen (but we’re feeling hopeful).
Sadly, there is still no official premiere date for the show, but if we were one to guess, our assumption would be that the show will come on the air in either January or March. It’ll be the former if CBS has a show they want to replace on the schedule; meanwhile, it’ll be the latter if they have a good fall schedule and want to just air the show out until the May sweeps. There’s no confirmation that this is the final season, but that is our feeling going into it. (We’re fine with being pleasantly surprised later.)

'The Mentalist' Season 7 Spoilers: Sociopath To Upset Jisbon? Erika Flynn Returns
The Mentalist's Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon better watch their backs; sociopath Erika Flynn is back and looking to drive a wedge into the newly created Jisbon relationship.
Played by Firefly's Morena Baccarin, Entertainment Weekly reports that Flynn will reappear in episode 3 of season 7. Guilty of murdering her husband, Flynn first appeared in season 3's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and later escaped custody in Season 4's "War of the Roses."
When fans next see Erika, she will be overseas.
"Jane teams up with Erika Flynn in Beirut, Lebanon, where he and Lisbon have gone at the request of the CIA to take down an international weapons dealer," Entertainment Weekly reports. "Erika has agreed to help Jane and the CIA in exchange for a pardon on the murder charges she's still facing and the chance to return to the U.S. But as always Erika has agendas of her own, one of which may, or may not, be inserting herself between Jane and Lisbon."
Will this wily seductress wreck Jane (Simon Baker) and Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) relationship, or will the two investigators be wise enough to steer clear of her traps? Find out more when The Mentalist returns in 2015.

Production begins for Simon Baker, cast
If you’re a fan of “The Mentalist,” we certainly feel your pain when it comes to the lack of news and updates on the show right now. No one knows when the final season is going to premiere, at least other than the fact that it is not going to happen until at least midseason.
However, we can at least tell you this: Production is underway for Simon Baker and the cast! Filming started this past week, and will continue more than likely for at least the rest of this year. Thanks to a shorter 13-episode order, everyone will likely have more time off than they have since starting the show so many years ago.
As for what the story will revolve around, we’re sure that Patrick Jane’s personal life will suddenly become more of a focus after so much was put into his relationship with Lisbon. We’ll learn how they work as a couple, and also whether or not there is anything personally that ends up complicating their dynamic on the job. Of course, we’re sure that there is also going to be at least some sort of Big Bad-like character, even if it is not another Red John.
What the show will also be potentially feeling this season is a sense of closure. While it has not been confirmed necessarily that season 7 will be the last, the delay for a renewal this past spring, coupled with the current ratings in the 18-49 demographic, make that a likely possibility. The show may opt to come up with what will be a worthy ending for the show in the case that this is it, while also leaving a tiny crack open if there is another season at some point.

A few more notes on a new character
As a “Mentalist” fan, you must be feeling the burn right now. It is not exactly clear when the show will be returning to CBS, and there’s also the large possibility that season 7 could be the end of the road. At least you have Jane and Lisbon, right? We at least feel pretty good that the show is not going to turn around and suddenly break them up now after getting them together, mostly because that would be the most awful thing imaginable.
Unfortunately, we have no further news right now about the relationship between these two. Instead, we are here to write a little more about the Michelle Vega character. If you remember from when we last wrote about her, we described her as a very ambitious new FBI agent who is looking to become very proficient with all forms of combat. We’ve learned a little more now, and it’s starting to sound like she will be more of an on-the-job adversary to Patrick Jane than someone he can rely on for shenanigans.
According to a report from TV Guide, this character is actually going to be fairly by-the-book, and is willing to work so hard to impress her superiors that she’ll sacrifice almost everything in her life. This means not having a whole lot of friends or free time, and we’re not sure that this is something Patrick would support at all. Now that Red John is dead, the guy likes to fit in some of his time for relaxation.
As for when “The Mentalist” could return, our guess right now would be either in January as a three-month fill-in series while another show is on hiatus, or March where it could run straight through to the end of the May sweeps. Either way, we expect a run weekly of all 13 episodes, and then we’ll see where the chips fall for the show from there.

'The Mentalist' Season 7 To Bring Back Summer Edgecombe? Tim Kang Hopes Cho's Old Flame Returns
The Mentalist will only have a 13-episode seventh season, but Tim Kang is hoping that writers will find room to bring back one of Cho's old flames.
The CBS series closed the book on the Red John-era last fall, but every so often an acquaintance from the CBI days manages to find their way into Patrick Jane's (Simon Bakers) new FBI world. While these visits mostly occurred while the Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) and Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) were collaborating with their old coworkers to take down Richard Habiach, Kang remains optimistic that there may be a future role for Summer Edgecombe (Samaire Armstrong).
However, Armstrong's current work could hinder that plan.
"She's on @Resurrection now," Kang told a fan on Twitter. "Trying to get her to come back to @Mentalist_CBS. Cho misses her."
Summer first appeared in season 4 as a prostitute and CBI informant. Cho and summer quickly struck up a romance but their relationship went south when her drug use became a heated issue. After leaving the states, a pregnant Summer returned in season 5 with her fiancé.

Ausiello: A new woman is about to enter Patrick Jane’s (professional) life. The CBS drama is casting the series regular role of Michelle Vega, a rookie FBI agent who is a student of combat and weaponry and is unfazed by high-pressure situations (such as when the show awaited that 11th-hour renewal).

Final season will be action-packed, hints show's creator
The seventh and final season of "The Mentalist" will be action-packed and will be filled with thrilling chases, according to the show's creator.
Bruno Heller described what will happen to the next season of the TV series without revealing too many details. "Up until now if you're comparing it to Moby Dick, which is one of the analogies I used to describe the length of the chase, next season the whale has been sighted and they're in the small boats and chasing the whale," Heller told Entertainment Weekly report.
It is obvious that Heller is referring to the long chase for Patrick Jane. The show's creator promised that the next season will be faster paced, more thrilling, more action, more surprises. He also said that there will be mysteries every week.
Meanwhile, although US TV network CBS confirmed the renewal of the upcoming season of "The Mentalist," the series may lose its timeslot on Sunday's primetime. Moreover, the series will have fewer episodes compared to previous seasons. According to Carter Matt, "The Mentalist" will have 13 episodes next season to tie up the loose ends and bring the whole series to conclusion.
It seemed that the show is not in CBS' priority list as the show is suffering in poor ratings. However, the new plot twists as well as the new turn in Patrick Jane and Theresa Lisbon relationship may bring the ratings up of the show's final season.
CBS has not announced the official premiere date yet of "The Mentalist" season 7, but the writers of the TV series are already back at work. Writer / producer Jordan Harper recently confirmed via Twitter that the writers are planning the next season.

Cast Simon Baker’s Patrick Jane Faces New Intellectual Equal From FBI? Actor Joe Adler Joins As Series Regular
"The Mentalist" season 7 spoilers are here and Simon Baker's Patrick Jane will encounter new challenges, including perhaps an intellectual equal within the FBI. Actor Joe Adler, meanwhile, has been promoted to series regular.
According to Deadline, who dished out some "The Mentalist" season 7 spoilers, Joe Adler has been included in the cast as a regular. He will reprise his role as Jason Wylie, who the website described as a "lighthearted and brilliant FBI computer expert."
Apart from his skills on the computer, Joe Adler is enamored with Patrick Jane's mind games.
"Adler's promotion is not a surprise as has appeared on a recurring basis in every episode of the show ... when the Red John storyline was wrapped up and the show's setting was moved from California to Texas," the website added.
The upcoming season will also have a 13-episode arc although CBS did not include "The Mentalist" season 7 in its fall lineup.
"The Mentalist" season 7 spoilers will revolve around Patrick Jane and Jane Lisbon's budding romance after the FBI agent finally confessed his feelings for her partner.
In the season 6 finale, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) finally professed his love for Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) before he was herded away. That confession is the only thing that Teresa wanted in order to turn down Agent Pike's invitation to live with him in Washington D.C.
Robin Tunney, in an interview with TV Guide, explained her character's mindset when she did decide to go with Agent Pike.
"There's somebody who's sort of declaring themselves, and I think there's something really flattering about that," she said. "That's there on the table and it's real ... I've been inviting Jane to declare himself and he hasn't."
The Christian Today said the "The Mentalist" always premieres in September and this year will probably be no different.

Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon's romantic relationship
he veteran police television series "The Mentalist" will not just be full of action and suspense in the next and final season, it will also be filled with drama and romance because of the blooming Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Teresa Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) relationship.

Also, there might be a love triangle between Jane, Lisbon, and Agent Marcus Pike (Pedro Pascal) Pike is inviting Lisbon to live with him in Washington.
However, creator Bruno Heller said that the final season will have more action scenes compared to the previous ones. "It's much faster paced, more thrilling, more action, more surprises. We'll still be delivering those mysteries every week. But just as you see with the last episode of the season, there's no more tracking and more chasing," Heller told Entertainment Weekly.
Moreover, the writers of the show are now busy working on the final season of the police hit drama, finishing what they have started at season 6--the Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon romance.
Karl Sonnenberg, who portrays CBI Karl, tweeted that the cast of will start shooting on August, and that the writers are now working on the story. "Some principal shooting the middle of July. The full crew starts the 1st week of August. Writers are working," he said.

Looking beyond Jane and Lisbon
There have not been too many opportunities as of late to discuss “The Mentalist” thanks to the summer season, and also the fact that the jury is still out even on when we are going to be seeing the show again on CBS. We at least know that there are 13 more episodes coming, and if we were a guessing mad we’d say that spring 2015 is the most-likely destination.
In the times that we have discussed the show, though, we’ve spent the bulk of the time trying to figure out what could come next for Jane and Lisbon. It feels like the two are definitely a couple now, and this is the territory that is going to be mined and explored moving forward. It’s understandable that they would be the focus, given that they happen to be who just about everyone wants to be spending their time talking about right now.
But what about the other characters? We wanted to at least spend a minute or two trying to figure out what some of their own futures on the show could be.
Cho - Since so much time passed between the end of the Red John case and no, it’s hard to know where the guy really is at now. However, we have liked the romantic storylines for him in the past, and anything that causes him to lighten up a little. We’re down for more of that.
Kim Fischer - More than anything else, we just want to know her purpose. At first, we thought there could be a love triangle forming, but that did not turn out to be much. This character needs to be further established before anything else can happen.
Abbott - Keep the quirks coming! At first, we thought that Rockmond Dunbar was stuck with “stereotypical FBI boss” character, but as the season progressed there were some occasional little wrinkles that showed that he may actually be a fun guy to get a drink with off the job.
Rigsby and Van Pelt - They aren’t on the show anymore, but we’d love one last appearance in the seventh season (if it is the last, which is likely given where we are now) just to see where they are now.

Cho - Since so much time passed between the end of the Red John case and no, it’s hard to know where the guy really is at now. However, we have liked the romantic storylines for him in the past, and anything that causes him to lighten up a little. We’re down for more of that.
Kim Fischer - More than anything else, we just want to know her purpose. At first, we thought there could be a love triangle forming, but that did not turn out to be much. This character needs to be further established before anything else can happen.
Abbott - Keep the quirks coming! At first, we thought that Rockmond Dunbar was stuck with “stereotypical FBI boss” character, but as the season progressed there were some occasional little wrinkles that showed that he may actually be a fun guy to get a drink with off the job.
Rigsby and Van Pelt - They aren’t on the show anymore, but we’d love one last appearance in the seventh season (if it is the last, which is likely given where we are now) just to see where they are now.

Shorter episodes for final season? (season 7)
The seventh and final season of "The Mentalist" may have a fewer number of episodes than previous seasons.
Although US TV network CBS confirmed the renewal of the upcoming season of "The Mentalist," there is a likelihood that the show will not return to its original timeslot on Sunday's primetime. Moreover, there is still the question of how many episodes the show will feature. Carter Matt reported that the show will have 13 episodes next season to tie up the loose ends and bring the whole series to a conclusion.
One of the things being considered is the ratings of the show. Apparently, the show is suffering poor ratings. However, the new plot twists and blossoming relationship of Patrick Jane and Theresa Lisbon will garner more ratings for the show. Moreover, CBS also has a hard time fitting the series in its seven-day schedule. Thus, a fall premiere date is highly unlikely. It seemed that "The Mentalist" ranks low in CBS priority list.
Meanwhile, although CBS has not announced a premiere date yet, the writers of the TV series are already back at work. Writer / producer Jordan Harper recently confirmed via Twitter that the writers are planning the next season.
It is obvious that the revelation of Patrick Jane's feelings toward Theresa Lisbon piqued the most interest of viewers. Many speculated that the next season will delve into the personal and working relationship of the two. Avid viewers can expect changes now that the agents will work together and will they allow their feelings to get on the way? Moreover, questions hang on what will be Theresa's decision about Agent Pike who invited her to live in Washington with him. Who will Theresa choose? "The Mentalist" will offer more than crime drama next season as writers will also explore the emotions of the two main characters.

‘The Mentalist’ season 7 spoilers: Work begins on the future
Are Jane and Lisbon going to be together? What does that kiss at the end of “Blue Bird” mean for their job? We know that these are just two questions that “The Mentalist” has set up for itself going into the seventh season.
Even though the show doesn’t have a premiere date just yet, we can at least still confirm one thing: The writers are already back at work. Writer / producer Jordan Harper recently confirmed on Twitter that this part of the process has begun. So what does this potentially mean for the rest of production? We imagine that the show is going to try and have some sort of normal schedule, since it’s better to just get the episodes filmed in advance then try to work around whenever CBS decides to put them on the air. We imagine that this is going to come right around midseason, since that gives the show the opportunity to air 13 episodes in a row without taking too many weeks off in between. Any other way that you do that runs the risk of long, annoying hiatuses.
Obviously, the Jane / Lisbon dynamic is something that has the interest of almost everyone piqued, but we still feel like there is much more to tell beyond that. For example, why not introduce a new villain, or tell a longer story? With only 13 episodes this season, there is an opportunity to be perhaps a little less procedural than you have been in the past.
Of course, we will provide more news and updates on the future of “The Mentalist” as soon as they are available.

‘The Mentalist’ Season 7 Spoilers: Simon Baker’s Patrick Jane And Robin Tunney’s Jane Lisbon Set To Face Their Feelings For Each Other? Premiere Date Still Uncertain
"The Mentalist" season 7 spoilers will revolve around Patrick Jane and Jane Lisbon's budding romance after the FBI agent finally confessed his feelings for her partner. The premiere date for next season, however, has not been set although it will likely be in the mid-season.
In the season 6 finale, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) finally professed his love for Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) before he was herded away. That confession is the only thing that Teresa wanted in order to turn down Agent Pike's invitation to live with him in Washington D.C.
Robin Tunney, in an interview with TV Guide, explained her character's mindset when she did decide to go with Agent Pike.
"There's somebody who's sort of declaring themselves, and I think there's something really flattering about that," she said. "That's there on the table and it's real ... I've been inviting Jane to declare himself and he hasn't."
Bruno Heller still hasn't provided any "The Mentalist" season 7 spoilers, he did make good on his promise to provide closure between Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon before season 6 winds down.
Heller told The Hollywood Reporter that Red John provided Patrick Jane with an excuse to hide his feelings and decide what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. But with Red John gone, both Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon suddenly find themselves at the crossroads.
"There is a palpable sense of, 'What now? Do I really want to continue doing the same thing?" he said.
With the death of Red John, Heller said, there's no more excuse for the two of them "to decide where that relationship was going." "They had always been able to keep it separate. Those questions start bubbling up and the rest of the season was the resolution of those questions," he added.
Meanwhile, CBS announced that it is renewing "The Mentalist" for season 7, which is reportedly going to be the last for the TV show. Christian Today said that the "The Mentalist" always premieres in September and this year will probably be no different.
The last minute decision prompted several reports that "The Mentalist" was scheduled to be canned after last season.

‘The Mentalist’ season 7: When will the final season premiere?
Fans of “The Mentalist” certainly had a chance to celebrate earlier this month with the somewhat-surprising news that CBS had renewed the show for a seventh season. However, the show was not a part of the schedule that was announced during the upfronts, and its 13-episode conclusion is instead somewhere out there in the TV ether.
So when will it premiere? While there are no official answers yet, we can at least provide you with a little more information now to point you in the right direction based on past network trends and what CBS likes to do with many of their shows.
So when will it premiere? While there are no official answers yet, we can at least provide you with a little more information now to point you in the right direction based on past network trends and what CBS likes to do with many of their shows.
- One thing that you can almost certainly rule out is a premiere this fall. Unless a CBS show does so badly that it is canceled a few episodes in, the network isn’t going to squeeze in another show into a jam-packed schedule that is already scattered thanks to NFL football.
- Given that there are only 13 episodes, we cannot see the show airing them in chunks. Most likely, they will try to do an episode a week until the story is over.
- Nights that you can rule out seemingly include Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays since these lineups are pretty set in stone. Therefore, we’d feel that Mondays, Wednesdays, or Sundays are the best destinations.
- In the end, we’re likely to see the show simply take back its old night depending on how new series “Madam Secretary” fares. It will not have the 10:00 p.m. spot, though, given that “CSI” and its “CSI: Cyber” spin-off are going to be taking the place of it.

Ask Matt: Finales (Mentalist)
Question: I was wondering what you (and other viewers) thought about the finale of The Mentalist. I was very disappointed. For one thing, I'm with Cho: I've always thought of Jane and Lisbon's relationship as more of a brother-sister thing, so having them become a couple is just weird. But putting that aside, the whole ending was so cliché and ridiculous. In fact, I'm wondering if, in next season's premiere, the ending will have been one of Jane's dreams. That's exactly what it felt like, a dreamlike happy ending. If that's the case, it will be easier to swallow. Anyway, this show was so great in the first few seasons, but the last few, not so much. Especially the way they dragged out the whole Red John storyline to the point where nobody cared anymore. And now that everything's changed, and they're with the FBI instead of the CBI, it just feels tired. It doesn't have the energy it once had. What do you think? — Camille
Matt Roush: Can't speak for anyone else, but the Mentalist finale felt to me as if the producers were hedging their bets in case this had been the series finale — and given how touch-and-go the renewal was, they were probably right to do so — so I had no real problem with Jane's over-the-top romantic gesture to win Lisbon's affections. Yes, the set-up of storming the plane was silly, but score one for the shippers. One of the more positive responses I received was from Deana, who wrote: "It was so good that Simon Baker's Aussie accent slipped through several times. A very good way to cap the season." But I agree that the Texas reboot hasn't exactly recharged the show, which seems whenever I tune in to be just going through the paces with a spottier ensemble. Maybe bringing the romance to the foreground (in the tradition of Bones and Castle) will bring some spice back to the show, even at the risk of alienating those who preferred their relationship platonic.
Question: Is there any chance The Mentalist writers would give another shot at a Red John closure? I was among the fans who didn't like the "Red John finale" because, come on, McAllister is Red John? He appeared in what, two or three episodes? I expected something much more creative from a show such as The Mentalist. And Jane pulling out a pigeon from his jacket and throwing it in the sheriff's face? I don't even know how to describe that! I think the Red John episode was kind of lame, and even though the show has moved on, I'm still hoping the writers will surprise us regarding this Red John thing. Do you agree with what I said? Or were you satisfied with the closure they gave Red John? — Alyssa
Matt Roush: There was plenty of room for criticism in the way the show resolved the Red John storyline, but the last thing The Mentalist needs to do at this stage is to go back to that empty well. I can only imagine the mail I'd get if they went there again. Whether you liked it or not, it was way past time to move on, and they have. And so should we.

‘The Mentalist’ season 7: Pedro Pascal reflects on recent arc
For fans of “The Mentalist,” Sunday night may be a rather sad day in that it is the first Sunday since the ACM Awards to not feature a new episode. Before that, it was March when we had to go without new episodes.
So while we transition into the off-season, how about some parting words for a man that is almost indirectly responsible for Jane and Lisbon being together? Without the arrival of Agent Pike on the scene, it is hard to know whether or not Simon Baker’s character would have ever risen to the surface and become the man he needed to be in order to win her over. It is a strange situation in a way seeing Pike disappear into the void, given that he was not a bad guy or a bad person for Lisbon by any means. The only thing that he was really a victim of above all else was just being with her at the wrong time when there was another guy that she cared about.
It is unlikely that we will see Pike again in season 7, but Pedro Pascal reacted to his time on the show while doing a Reddit AMA (one that was geared mostly towards his role as Prince Oberyn Martell on “Game of Thrones”):
“I had an amazing time with Robin Tunney, she is a new friend, and it was a really friendly set. And it was nice because I was sort of, I just signed a new lease on a new apartment in Los Angeles and I was able to drive myself to work everyday, which was cool. And Simon is a really great guy, the two of them have a really special chemistry and it was great to see that in person.”
After many weeks of seeing Pedro on two different Sunday-night shows, this Memorial Day Weekend may be especially empty. Luckily, we know that he will return for the new episode next week, and you can watch a preview for that over at the link here.
