There are many "The Mentalist" fans out there dying to see Lisbon and Jane finally together. Well, as it turns out Lisbon and Jane are going to get romantic interests this season - and they're names aren't Lisbon or Jane.
According to EW.com, Teresa Lisbon is going to get a boyfriend in either Episode 15 or Episode 16. Show creator Bruno Heller said the show isn't quite ready to make the former CBI agent and the witty genius more than friends.
Heller tells EW.com the show will look into "a new side of the relationship between Jane and Lisbon," during the "Golden Hammer" episode which may air Jan. 12.
"That's an arc that we're going to be watching develop through the back end of this season," Heller said. "Now that Red John is gone, both Jane and Lisbon are sort of psychically free to wake up and look around and what they see when they wake up from that nightmare is each other.
"And how that relationship develops and how they sort of start working out who they are to each other is a big part of how the rest of this season unfolds."
In Jane's case, he's going to ask a woman named Krystal Markham out on a date.
According to TVLine.com, Brianna Brown will guest star on "The Mentalist" as Markham who is connected to an FBI investigation.
Patrick has not asked anyone on a date since the death of his wife.
When it comes to Patrick Jane's love interests, many fans are cheering for Lisbon/Jane. However there may be some who are rooting for Fisher/Jane. Which side are you on? Comment below.
"The Mentalist" returns Jan 8 on CBS.
