The Mentalist Scoop!


It’s slammer time when Jane (Simon Baker) is thrown behind bars in the November 5 episode of The Mentalist (Thursdays, 10/9c, CBS ) after it’s discovered he planted a bugging device in the office of foe Sam Bosco (Terry Kinney). But it won’t stop him from busting the bad guys. “Jane gets so bored in jail he solves the murder of a young man who was killed in a family oil feud,” says creator Bruno Heller.

Then, on November 12, Jane blasts to the past after getting hit in the head while working on a case at a baseball stadium. “We have a series of flashbacks showing how Jane was raised as this psychic boy wonder in the morally ambiguous world of traveling carnies. It’s like a Gypsy Rose Lee scenario,” Heller says. “Fans will get some very interesting insight into Jane’s character.”

Later in the month, just as Jane and Co. are investigating a dead body that’s been hidden for two years under the floorboards of a house, Bosco shows up at the same house looking for a woman who’s been kidnapped. The two are then forced to team up. Says Heller: “Cue the fireworks.”
