The CBI receive a message informing that there is a hidden bomb somewhere and challenging Patrick Jane to find the bomb. When he deciphers the message, he finds a man handcuffed inside a van with the message "you are the next" marked on his forehead. However, it is too late to save the man, but the explosion temporarily blinds Patrick. Meanwhile Grace Van Pelt is dating the lawyer Dan Hollenbeck and Wayne Rigsby is jealous. While Lisbon and Cho are investigating the suspect of planting the bomb, Rigsby, Van Pelt and Patrick discover who he is.
"Bloodshot" is another great episode of "The Mentalist". This time, with Patrick Jane blind, the story has another dynamics since he does not participate of the investigation. The conclusion is very satisfactory, with Lisbon making the day. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Bloodshot"
Monk did this episode's premise, but better. Overall a boring episode that goes nowhere, which is really the worst thing that a show like this can do. If you're rewatching, skip this one.

- TriviaRed-haired actress: Rebecca Metz.
- GoofsThe doctor's entire explanation for Jane's blindness is just medical sounding nonsense. There's nothing to suggest short term memory loss or disorientation, especially not on the film she is looking at since she apparently thinks a single image picked at random from the hundreds a CT scan takes to build a 3D image will tell her anything. That isn't what "fleeting blindness" means, even if it was blindness caused by head trauma is a cause for concern, not a normal result of a "moderate" concussion. Concussion does not cause numerous blood clots to spontaneously form and if it did they would show on a CT scan (used properly). It would also be cause for serious concern because "floating blood clots" will kill you. Although, a blood clot demonstration does sound intriguing, it is, sadly, also nonsense. And CVI, Cerebral or Cortical Visual Impairment is caused by serious brain injury, not any kind of damage or problem in the eyes and there is no guarantee that it is temporary. The damage that caused it would also have been visible on a CT scan, if it had been used properly and not like an x-ray machine.

Virgil Minelli: Someone did try to kill him, remember? We can protect him better here.
Patrick Jane: Thank you, Virgil.
Virgil Minelli: Okay, but this is a favor. If you die in this department, I'm responsible. I do all the paperwork. In fact, if he does die for whatever reason, move him to a public area, would you? I'd be very grateful.
