A stand-alone, free-wheeling gift of an episode this week, with no murder to solve, no procedural and very little of the CBI team other than Lisbon. The story revolves around the relationship between Patrick Jane and Lorelei Martins, the comely aide of demonic serial killer Red John. But she’s still in prison, you cry. Ah yes, but Jane has a plan to break her out, with the help of his old friend, cult leader Brett Stiles.
As Stiles, Malcolm McDowell only has about four lines to say, so he makes the most of them, before we’re swept into a kind of road movie storyline that by the end has taken us, perhaps, a big step closer to uncovering who Red John might be.
