For the second week in a row, The Mentalist will welcome back a recurring adversary for Patrick Jane this Thursday.

Following Morena Baccarin's reprisal of Erica Flynn, Malcolm McDowell will make an appearance on "His Thoughts Were Red Thoughts," once again coming on board as Britt Stiles, the shady cult leader who debuted in April of last year.

As teased in the following promo, look for Jane to cross his path after an anti-cult activist turns up dead.
