The Mentalist (CBS)
Premieres: Sunday, Sept. 30 at 10/9c

Where We Left Off: Patrick Jane got close to a Vegas cocktail waitress named Lorelei (guest star Emmanuelle Chriqui), who was actually a Red John disciple who promised to take Jane to meet his nemesis. Although it was all a ruse that got Wainwright killed, the CBI does have Lorelei in custody, giving them a link to Red John.

What's Next: Jane promised last season to make Lorelei "sing like a bird," and creator Bruno Heller says Jane will show a darker side in his interrogation efforts. But now that the FBI is certain Red John is still alive, Jane and the whole team will have even more Feds (guest stars Polly Walker and Ivan Sergei) breathing down their necks.
