Jane and Lisbon’s future in ‘Black Hearts’ (6x21, preview)

Next week on “The Mentalist,” we have a story in “Black Hearts” that is going to get closer and closer to trying to answer one key question: Are Jane and Lisbon going to be getting together soon? We are at least at a time now when it is clearer that Jane wants to make a move, but he has to figure out just what this move is going to be.

As the synopsis for this hour reveals, there is a story-of-the-week plot here (or really the continuation of the kidnapping ring) that some people may be interested in. But, at this point in the season, we imagine that the larger focus is on the prospective relationship, and how Lisbon is going to make a huge choice when it comes to whether or not she is going to take off with Agent Pike:

“With time running out to save the victims of a kidnapping ring before they are transported overseas, Jane and Lisbon zero in on the criminal enterprise’s mastermind. Meanwhile, Lisbon decides if she will move to D.C. with Agent Pike.”

There is one thing to remember here when it comes to this “decision,” though. Even if Lisbon claims that she wants to move to DC, that does not mean that things are necessarily over between her and Jane. He is as creative a guy as things come, and the best thing for Simon Baker’s character could be is a challenge. He always tends to rise to the occasion, and by the time the finale airs, you may have all of the answers you are looking for.
