Patrick (Simon Baker) still sits in his detention cell as Lisbon (Robin Tunney) looks for a stapler in her office in Washington. He still wants his terms met but he's being refused, until Fisher (Emily Swallow) pays Lisbon a visit. She mentions how Patrick solved every single one of their cases over ten years as well as killing Red John and bringing corruption in the CBI to light. Lisbon visits Patty who's drinking tea and is surprised to see her. No socks though as I pointed out, you'd think he'd wear his socks now. Funny part was Patty asking Cho (Tim Kang) how he is and he says they'll catch up later. The FBI need his help to search for a missing computer analyst who works for the government. His wife is Defiance (Azita Ghanizada) and she's a gypsy as Patrick tells them. He can tell from the photos of her room and house, she also gave it all up to marry her missing husband, Schneiderman (Shane Edelman) who is Jewish. If the source codes are accessed then banking will be in trouble.
They will have to fly out and Patrick notices they're flying Economy, he bags the aisle seat, and comments he thought they'd have a jet. Yeah I said that, doesn't every government agency have their own jet, except NCIS of course as Tony (Michael Weatherly) keeps reminding us! Ha. He also mentions that he knows the real Fischer and that was her on the island, but she tells Lisbon and him she was undercover. Patty needs his hotdog fix and asks Lisbon for $20 but he can't enjoy it since Fisher is hot on his heels! Probably in more ways than one, ha. Patrick introduces himself to Defiance Schneiderman and she thinks he's a psychic and tells him to read her palm. He can't cos she won't let him. Also telling her how his father worked the carnie circuit, that's the second mention of his father and the circuit, since he also talked of it last ep.
She mentions Cleo (Alejandro Cardenan) the psychic and how she was on the roof with her friends. Her husband loved the roof. As they pass the room where the building manager, Nguyen (Francois Chau) lives he looks through the peephole, of course he was a big suspect as soon as they showed him and Patty took an interest in him. Patty mentions the roof garden and it belongs to Schneiderman. He wants Defiance to channel her energy and then tells her to go to the media with news of her husband's kidnapping. He then bars the door and escapes via the fire escape. Sending a letter to Abbot (Rockmond Dunbar) which he marks 'Top Secret' in red and then uses yellow paint to spray the ground. Oh just when I was thinking he'd draw a smiley, wishful thinking, ha
Fisher is angry and will put a note in the agent's file who was meant to be guarding the alley and Cho brings up her responsibility too. She adds Abbot will put one in her file too. I liked the way Lisbon kept interrupting her and telling her she won't find Patrick unless he wants to be found which is true. Meanwhile Cho is approached by Jason Wylie (Joe Adler) who is an IT analyst. He tells him he's found Patrick via satellite, yeah just cos he wanted to be found as Lisbon said, as he sprayed 'Jane' in yellow on the ground and enjoys the last morsels of his hot dog. Fisher wants to know how Lisbon worked with Patty for so long and if they were more than just friends, nosey or what! Lisbon wants to know why she'd ask that, only cos she's interested in him, can I say, yuk?! Ha.
Patrick is back in the cell and he lies on the bed, when Fisher wakes him up. She tells him he's going back to Austin, Texas. Patrick tells her she'll find Cleo's DB on the roof, chopped into pieces and put there by Schneiderman. It's almost Winter but he has soil there. Fisher thinks he's lying but Abbott tells her they've got to check it out. He hates how this job takes away trust and he knocks over a pot to reveal a severed arm. Wylie gets to join the big guns in the bullpen and wonders why people call him Coyote. Cho tells him about the cartoon with Road Runner but he's not heard of it, really?
Patrick likes to rub it in and asks if they found the DB, also they'd have found it sooner or later. On the plane back, Lisbon asks why he would interfere in her life. She was happy in Washington and it's her life. She was afraid he'd left her again since he left her for two years, when he ran off like that again now. He doesn't know what's good for her in her life. Lisbon recalls that Cleo's name is probably not Cleo and that in Cuba they run a scam whereby they swap the right hands prints for the left and if they do the same they'll match his prints, to a Jose. She's been reading a lot, cos she has a quiet life. Also she read the file on the plane earlier on which surprises Fisher, why cos Lisbon is better at the job than she is.
Patrick talks to his wife again and thinks her husband wasn't kidnapped but is being held for ransom, after all the FBI received a ransom note for $10 million. Guess what, the manager did it! He saw Schneiderman drag the DB out in a bag and take it to the roof. Schneiderman thought Cleo was having an affair with his wife when he found him in their bedroom. He was looking for objects to cold read her. They fought and he hit his head. He tells Abbot he couldn't call the police since he wouldn't work again. The manager is part of a Vietnamese gang once that's why he has the scars on his face.
Abbot is pleased with Patrick's work and offers him the contract again. Patrick adds his own new terms to it, like his couch and Lisbon obviously, but Abbot refuses. He tells him about the letter in his mail. Abbot opens it to find redacted names. These names are from Bertram's list and include judges, FBI agents etc. Abbot still refuses the deal and Patrick is taken to his cell. Lisbon arrives and tells him she's back on the team with him. Patrick agrees to the contract only he won't give up any of the names until his contract comes to an end, otherwise Abbot can go back on the deal like he already did before. She asks him where he got the names from and he reminds her of Bertram's flashdrive, only it was encrypted. Patty made them up and she's pleased he did that. She's coming back to work since her job was boring. Which again he knew but she tells him he didn't have a right to change her life for her, that's up to her. Also bringing him a pair of socks as a present! Cos he really needs his socks.
Patty tells her they should make plenty of trouble for the FBI and let's hope they do, that'd be fun to watch. It's only fair. Patrick gets his couch back. Ahh Patty brushing the socks against his face, so soft! SO can we ditch the beard now! Don't like Fisher at all so hopefully they will cause trouble for her. The way she was so defensive when Patrick told her he's knows the real her, of course he does, what does she think he's been doing all this time, that he can't read people, she can't fool him. Cho and Patty didn't get much screen time together which I hope they do even if he is FBI, they're still friends.
So Lisbon wanted to come back all along but wouldn't admit it to him. I liked how she told him off for leaving her and walking out of her life and then thinking he's done another runner. It was just so them and brought back a little of how they were in past seasons. Missing Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) and Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) they had s much more going for them and the show was more interesting with them. That Fisher is trying to be a carbon copy of Van Pelt, failing miserably!! Guess gotta get used to the dynamic of the 'new' show and the characters but they're not so interesting. Who knew the FBI was this boring? Ha.
