I don't own The Mentalist. No copyright infringement is intended.
AN: I had a blast creating a tongue-in-cheek potential lineup for that eighth season of TM - the one we'll never see. I might add some "scenes" from some of the episodes to this along and along, if they come to me. Please feel free to tell me if there are any of these that have any appeal to you as a reader.
I sure do miss The Mentalist.
