When a man is found dead with a shot in his forehead, Lisbon and Patrick conclude his body has been thrown in the river is a nearby town. Further, they also discover he worked in an arcade. The CBI team head to Sierra Vista and learn that he is Ed Diedricksen, the manager of the local arcade, and he used to sell drugs to teenagers. Their further investigation that he was an ex-mobster in the witness protection program with his wife under the protection of two specific US Marshall and he was a womanizer. The prime suspect becomes the mob boss Sonny Battaglia, and Patrick meets him at a golf-club and concludes he did not know that Ed was murdered. Who might be the killer?

"Red Sauce" is another funny episode of "The Mentalist". The plot has many twists, but the is silly in many moments including the conclusion. My vote is seven.
