This week's enjoyable episode of The Mentalist was classic Patrick Jane. Our critic loved "Red Alert" for its constant use of quips, wit and sarcasm.

But Van Pelt might not be in such a fun-loving mood next Thursday. This detective falls under suspicion on "Blood for Blood" when a witness under her protective custody is killed. Enter Special Agent J. J. LaRoche and some serious questions.

Return to TV Fanatic after the installment airs for our weekly review, and get your first look at clips from the upcoming hour here:
