2x23 is such a BANGER of an episode. I'm a slut for good character driven stories and Jane's whole arc of feelings in that episode is just executed SO WELL. When he goes into the bathroom while on the date and unmasks? Banger. When he sees Kristina on TV and his heartbeat plays loudly in the back? Banger. When Red John appears for the first time and delivers Jane a riddle? Banger. When he goes home to his single mattress and the bloody smile? Banger. Banger. Banger. Banger. An episode for the rewatching for SURE

The Mentalist "Fugue in Red" should have absolutely been a 2 parter but not in the murder case sense. I mean they could have done it that way but it wouldn't have mattered because boy howdy there absolutely NEEDED to have been some kind of emotional resolution.
Honestly with Jane's memory being brought back in such an abrupt and traumatic manner, I had expected him to lash out or shut down and they end up separating after a messy argument.
Lisbon has to do an introspection of what exactly her motivations and whatever while Jane begins to consider his life before and after and everything else.
There was never an episode where Jane and Lisbon were separated by conflicts that didn't involve Red John and this would have been the perfect time to show case them separating because of contrasts of their personalities coming out in the ugliest ways one as a result of one of the most heartbreaking and brutal situations.
I love them but they are fundamentally messy bitches

One more post while I get this out of my system but literally if any mid-2000s police procedural was going to pull off the "someone calling a character's love interest their dog" thing it would've been the Mentalist
