This time round we get another 2 days earlier as the action begins with Patrick (Simon Baker) driving up in a truck and telling the FBI that they can talk about this. The FBI investigate the murder of an Attorney, Firlock (Kathleen M Darcy) after she's found in Juarez, Mexico. Patty feeling right at home here as he's made friends with the local Commander Delgado (Benito Martinez). He's also figured out that Firlock was dressed in a t-shirt and as a happy, she was IDed by the medical bracelet she was wearing, showing she suffers from an allergy. Patrick offers tea to Cho (Tim Kang) and Fischer (Emily Swallow) but they decline. Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) not around as she spends the time stuck in the office, investigating the Ardilles' murder. Though they didn't really have much to go on.
Patrick also buys them Tamale's for lunch as well as getting Cho Mexican jumping beans cos he likes them. He can get Fischer what she always wanted but she doesn't really believe him. Patrick arrived in Mexico in his newly acquired wheels and cruised on down Mexico way. They also don't know how Firlock came to be there since they haven't found her abandoned car. Patrick does his own investigating and appears to go off grid when he calls Fischer and cuts off. They follow his signal to Gentry, Texas, where the landowner, Phelps (Karl Makinen) drives up and holds a rifle on Cho and Fischer. Later Patrick talks on the phone since Fischer dropped it to pull out her gun and comes out of a secret tunnel. That's how Firlock got to Mexico. He said he allowed the Cartel to build it there cos he was threatened and dumped her DB so it wouldn't be found on his land.
Lisbon is pursuing who is after them and Patrick suggests she should ask JJ LaRoche (Pruitt Taylor Vince) for help. He's in IA now but won't be willing to help since they lost him his job. Patrick tells her to say he owes him a favour. Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) and Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) pay him a visit and do that. He agrees to make inquiries and get a warrant for the building and wont let Rigsby come with him.
Patty drives down again with Fischer and he wants to look at the farmer's market. But wants to wait until there are less people and so curls up under his blanket. Fischer can't wait and shows the photo around but everyone clams up when they find out she's FBI. She shows the photo to Clancy (Kevin Daniels) recalls letting her try the peanut butter. Marcia (Cindy Pickett) comes out telling her to go away and asking who she is, the FBI everyone's been talking about. But Fischer doesn't put two and two together until Patrick later tells her that she was allergic so she wouldn't be eating peanuts. Patrick buys some peanut butter and peanuts and befriends Alex (Taylor Nichols) from Gadsen Grove. He invites Patrick back to the farm. He calls Lisbon asking for a black helicopter and lots of FBI vehicles, including a tank. Fischer is angry Patrick drove off but Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar) is too engrossed with the robot Patrick gave him, cos he always wanted one. Telling her that he's trying to fit in. Having given a Tamagotchi to Wylie (Joe Adler).
So the FBI approach the farm and Patrick tries to reach an amicable solution between the two. He will find out who the killer is and that way the FBI won't have to come onto their land, Alex agrees to this. He does this by his usual process of elimination of suspects, until he finally gets the killer to pull out her gun. Knew it was Marci, since well, there really weren't that many suspects around and she was too eager for Fischer to leave. She confesses she was part of Firlock's past and was wanted for bomb offences as an eco terrorist. Firlock found her and wanted her to turn herself in. Well you're caught now!
Rigsby gets Van Pelt to give him the location of the warehouse LaRoche is headed to and he gets there too. LaRoche later calls for him to help cos it's too creepy in there and walks into a booby trap and is shot. SO that's another CBI loose end tied up even if it was unintentional, yet obvious. Guess Patrick was right, he won't owe him anymore. Didn't much like this ep since it just seemed routine and dare I say it, a little boring. Lisbon had nothing to do so we got stuck with Fischer and who cares if she always wanted a wand to make things better, cos we know there's more to her than she's letting on. Just like Lisbon had her whole backstory with her family. Quite frankly, not really interested in Fischer and her secrets, even though the producers/writers are trying to make her appear more endearing to us, it's just pointless! We really want Lisbon back with Patrick on cases, I mean what the point in Patty wanting her back if she's just stuck behind a desk all day and without him. Though he did ask where she was at the beginning.
A shame LaRoche was killed off since there was more they could have done with him and he was a well liked character. His last thoughts were for his dog.
Patty giving out wishes or fulfilling them more like, just as he gave Lisbon the pony in 1.20 Red Sauce. Where he also guessed what the others bought her for her birthday. More Lisbon and Patty scenes purlease!!
