Were there discussions through the season that Vega shouldn’t be killed off? Vega’s death was the catalyst for the last episodes and the last steps for Jane. To complete the story, we wanted to close the circle. Patrick Jane is a character who was born with love, who became the person we know through the last seven years because he lost his wife and daughter. ![]() We wanted someone who would look at Jane through new eyes.īecause the network had told us it was the last season, we knew we were going to go back to the beginning and revisit the world of a traumatic loss. We wanted to introduce a new character, someone who would be new to Patrick Jane and knew nothing of his past and knew nothing of The Mentalist and the way he worked. When we were planning the season over the summer, there were two things we wanted to do. Sadly, it was always the plan to kill her off. ![]() Was it always the endgame for the character of Michelle Vega when she was introduced at the start of the season? 18 series finale, ETonline chatted with Loren and executive producer Tom Szentgyorgyi about the unexpected death – a plan that was set and what this means for Jane and Lisbon’s now rocky future. Now he has chosen to play a game which will push his wits to the limit.As The Mentalist approaches its two-hour Feb. On the big day, those threats drop the subtleties and come full force, giving Jane no choice but to flee the ceremony just as it begins, to save the ones he cares about, at the price of possible damage beyond repair. That fear starts to reveal itself, and it involves something that goes beyond what Jane and the team has ever faced before, and will push the boundaries of how far they are willing to go for one another when a global threat reaches out to make a personal vendetta against Jane, and ultimately the team. Jane, however, starts noticing things that stirs up a hidden fear which he has bottled up since before his late wife was killed. The new team plus the former couple is going to be gearing up for the exciting event, though Cho is still baffled by the idea of their relationship. What does this mean? It means: after another year of working together, Jane and Lisbon are setting the date to get married. It needs all the things that make a great show: continuity of story line, not just a jumble of side stories, it needs suspense, it needs conflict, danger, and most of all, it demands sacrifice to show the true quality in Jane’s character. What we want for The Mentalist is only half the question the other half being “what does Patrick Jane need”, which parallels the question, what does The Mentalist need. (Though I wouldn’t think it would cause serious problems since Lisbon has always shown that she will forgive Jane at some point, that is though assuming that Jane finally does something that Lisbon can’t forgive him for.) ![]() While I have no doubt that Jane can probably always show Lisbon that he loves her, I believe there will probably be times during a case where Jane may end up doing something that will upset Lisbon that will in some shape or form effect their relationship. ![]() (Or at least that’s what I would do if I were Mr. Which would allow the Jisbon fans to imagine that the do end up getting married after the series ends and those who don’t like Jane and Lisbon together to imagine that something goes wrong and they don’t end up getting married or together any more. I think Jane and Lisbon getting married next season would be a bit much, though I could see the possiblity, depending on how much time passes in however many episodes there are and how their relationship goes, Jane proposing.
