I agree with wandajune, I love the show and the Red John plot but I'm glad when there are episodes that don't focus solely on it. As for Grace, she is just hiding behind her rough exterior. If this episode is any indication, it is that she will break eventually because she is starting to let her anger come out in her work instead of remaining composed like she used to. She seems disheveled but its probably just a reflection of the issues that she has but won't deal with or admit to having. I just hope when she realizes that she has a problem that it won't be too damaging to her or her career. As for Grace and Wayne with his new public defender girlfriend, I think they've gotten past the awkward, lets-just-be-friends thing that they used to have and Grace seems to have other things on her mind besides his love life anyway. I must say I missed Cho and his deadpan humor, we need more Cho. As for Lisbon and Jane, I loved the scene at the beach because Jane seems to be in his element
Of course Grace will snap. She has undergone a trauma and is resisting the help of a board-certified, expert, psychological-hoodoo guy. And we all know that nobody can ever recover from a trauma without submitting themselves to the board-certified, expert, psychological-hoodoo guy. Can't be done. She'll snap soon, and the show will join with all the rest of the shows in promoting the already-ubiquitous message that we are, now and forever, incapable of dealing with anything unless we submit to the appropriate expert help.

It's been confirmed by the writers that Cho will have his own 'awesome' arc this season, involving some form of personal crisis and a lover...this begins in 4.08 'Pink Tops' I believe.

I love this show. I agree with the review about Rigsby’s new girlfriend; I don’t really care either. Grace’s unkempt hair is a reflection of her inner turmoil. Wonder what the writers have in store for her - hopefully her final breakdown won’t be too damaging. Looking forward to getting more Cho in upcoming episodes, also to seeing how the team’s relationship with the new boss develops. I agree with lea – didn’t find the scene on the beach romantic. The ending was sweet.

I love the Mentalist. ANY episode without the line being RED JOHN is good

I thought it was obvious that Jane threw the flower into the ocean for his wife and child. A bit predictable imho and still nice.
Didn't find the scene with Jane & Lisbon at the beach romantic at all, especially since Lisbon was so Lisbon and all uninterested in jane's little "gift". XD

I agree Grace is going to snap. I enjoyed the episode. I was caught off guard by the killers. Good suspence. I think Jane may have been sending the flower to his wife and child what do you think?

typical episode, sometimes entertaining, sometimes slow moving. Don't they have a hair dresser on set, what's up with Graces hair....no hair brushes either, for some reason it got worse and worse then just distracting, thought something was gonna come crawling out of that mess.

And I was starting to see an anger management problem with Grace which she isn't dealing with work very well.
