The Mentalist on This Groundhog Day  

Okay, so I was sitting there watching tonight's The Mentalist and it was all cute and filler but okay then WHAM.
My thoughts (what I remember because everything I thought got blown a freaking away)
-Okay, Van Pelt way too much eyeshadow. Dial it down makeup department.
-Wainwright. Hmm, Red John mole? Just a nervous Nelly? Secretly suspicious himself and covering up for Jane?
-Rigsby's just blurting out he's pregnant. Oh lordy.
--I was laughing at Jane along with Lisbon at the end. He had NO CLUE who the murderer was. None. And he was getting stymied at every turn. Suddenly it's the model and Lisbon notices before Jane. And Jane's like "But the trick worked" and Lisbon was pointing and laughing.
And I was too. But then suddenly, Rosalind's on the phone telling Jane that Roy (who is likely Red John) is at her house. And suddenly the stakes get VERY HIGH.
Darcy, who'd been poking around all episode, Jane and Lisbon race to Rosalind's house (which in the magic of tv takes them just minutes), they barge in as this eerie piano music starts playing.
You think of course he's killed her. But no, she's just playing piano creepily. "Oh Roy had to go".
And in the closet is the body of the morgue attendant that Darcy spoke to earlier in the episode.
Darcy's last line, "You still think Red John is dead?"
Holy SHIT.
I honestly didn't expect more Red John in this episode. It was a filler episode. And I'm having to say well played to the show for that.
Also liked that Jane told Lisbon what he talked to Darcy about. He called for both Darcy and Lisbon to come with him to Rosalind's.

I probably would have had more thoughts, but the ending just swerved so that I'm actually speechless for once. (Oh did Robin Tunney get new highlights put in? Her hair just looked very pretty)
