Exclusive Mentalist Sneak Peek: Why Is Jane Ignoring Lisbon's Calls?

Apparently Jane's (Simon Baker) insistence that he needs to start a new life away from police work is causing a rift between him and Lisbon (Robin Tunney) on The Mentalist.

On Wednesday's new episode - the penultimate installment before next week's series finale - Jane seems to have met his mental match in someone who may be a true psychic. Or is he just a serial killer trying to cover his tracks?
