    The Psychic Woman

    When the wealthy widow Rosemary Tennant is killed in a hit-and-run on the sidewalk, Patrick, Lisbon and her team investigate the case. Soon the psychic Kristina Frye comes and identifies the woman, and Patrick believes she is a con-artist based on his own experience. They go to Rosemary's house to interview the photographer Jeremy Hale and her two children Clara and Travis. They learn that Travis is a troubles teenager that is missing and he becomes the prime suspect. Further, Rosemary had visited her lawyer to change her will and all her acquaintances and family becomes suspects and Patrick plots a scheme to find the killer.

    "Seeing Red' is the seventh episode of "The Mentalist" with a duel between the psychic Kristina Frye and Patrick Jane. The plot is only reasonable with a good conclusion. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Seeing Red"

    too much crazy for one episode

    Not sure why the writers would make. Van Pelt a nutjob in this episode. Trying to convince others that there are ghosts. Someone with such a mental disorder wouldn't even be allowed to be an agent. I think they have psychological evaluations and being crazy disqualifies you from that I would assume. Then there is the other nutjob. Kristina Frey. A mentalist actually believing she has a power - or playing it so well, you believe her that she believes it. Plus the killer, who has a screw lose, well, because he/she killed someone. Sorry, but a rational person will be annoyed by so many delusional nonsense.

    Worst episode

    This is the worst episode of the series trying to misguide our animal brain. What's next? Releasing ghosts in mortal plane? This is the last episode I watched in this series. 6 episode was their maximum capacity, now they are all out of ideas for this weak concept of a show.

    • Quotes

      Grace Van Pelt: It's really important to you that Kristina's a fake, isn't it? Because if she's not. If she does have a gift, everything you mock, everything you discredit, everything you stand for gets turned upside down.

      Patrick Jane: Um

      [Jane clears his throat]

      Patrick Jane: Yeah. True. Unlikely, but true.
