Next month marks the beginning of Sweeps across the television dial. New and old shows will be cranking our major story lines in order to attract viewers (and advertisers).

With that in mind, here's what you can look forward to one a couple episode of The Mentalist:

November 18: Patrick Jane and company investigate the murder of a casino owner.

November 25: It's pretend psychic vs. pretend psychic! The Mentalist hopes to expose a quasi-seer.
