Detalils on Jane, Lisbon and a big moment (6x22, synopsis)

“The Mentalist” has not had too many overarching plots the past several weeks, mostly because the story has been building primarily to one big reveal: Finding out whether or not Jane and Lisbon are going to have a real future. This moment will be revealed in full during “Blue Bird,” the season finale airing on Sunday, May 18. It’s also possible that this could sadly end up being the series finale, depending on what happens with CBS at the upfronts.

You may have heard some of the details in the synopsis below already, but we still argue that it is definitely worth sharing:

“A new lead in a cold case requires Lisbon to delay her plans to leave for Washington, D.C. with Agent Pike, giving Jane time to finally come to terms with his feelings for her and decide on a course of action.”

Yes, this synopsis does mostly give away that Lisbon decides to go away from Patrick and move forward with Pedro Pascal’s character, but you probably knew in all likelihood that this was coming anyway. Her relationship with Pike has taken off over the past several episodes, and since Jane has given her no reason to believe that there could be something more to the relationship, why would she stay?

The biggest reason to have hope here is because many with “The Mentalist” have described this finale as “romantic” already, and that is definitely classified as good news. If Simon Baker’s character can put the same sort of effort into his personal life that he does when it comes to solving crimes, there is potential there for him to make Lisbon extremely happy.
