A woman named Susan (Jennifer Christopher) tells her husband Bill (John D'Aquino) that there's someone sitting outside the car and he keep watching her. Bill remarks that serial killers don't lurk in cars. He goes outside to check it out and finds a man in a car at the back, but calls him a drunk. When he gets back in the front door is open and Susan is gone. Patrick (Simon Baker) takes Lisbon (Robin Tunney) to the woods and that cabin to surprise her. He bought it and he wants to fix it up whilst she's at work. He needs something to do and she asks him if he's decided he's leaving. He doesn't know yet. She tells him she has needs too, like knowing he won't leave again. He replies he's committed and the house is a good place to start. As we know this is Patty and he has other things in mind to show his commitment. Lisbon also wants to know if he's taking off his wedding ring cos he's been wearing it a long time. But he's used to wearing it. Lisbon is called and Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar) tells her they've got another one.
At the CS they find Susan and she's had her fingernail taken too. She was shot in the chest and Patrick tells them the killer isn't being careful but rather playful. He also sees a mark one arm which looks like an IV line and the killer removed some of her blood but they don't know why. Cho (Tim Kang) brings in Tork (Joshua Biton) from the Santa Fe office, he used to work at CBI and he's worked with Patrick before, so he knows what he's like as he says, you have to keep your hand on your wallet when Patrick's around. Lisbon says the profilers aren't able to put anything concrete on age etc of the Vics and Patrick says it's more likely what he's killing for.
He thinks the killer needs the blood for something and all of the recent bodies had blood removed but Lisbon adds the older bodies were too decayed for them to find any marks. Wylie (Joe Adler) mentions vampirism as a possible online theory. Tork comes up with the plan to make Patrick appear to the media as a fake psychic and the serial killer might get taken in. Patrick walks away as he hates that idea. Cho reminding Tork of Patrick losing his wife and daughter. He makes himself a cup of tea and Lisbon tells him about Gabriel's autopsy which shows he had small lesions on his brain, which made him hallucinate. Patrick thinks that's why he believed himself to be a psychic. Lisbon adds there's no such thing. As she also says sorry for mentioning his ring.
Wylie tells them Austin PD may have shot the serial killer but it turns out it was just a man collecting bottles from the trash with his wife, who didn't speak any English and was shot by the homeowner cos everyone's on edge with the serial killer on the loose. Patrick wants to go along with Tork's plan but Lisbon is adamant. He thinks it's the only way. At the TV station, Patrick sits next to the TV anchor, Dan (John Marshall Jones) and tells him about the birth of his baby daughter named Alexa. No one told him that. Seen this scene before haven't we a few times in the show. A nice continuation to round things up and coming full circle too. As we recall this is how it all stared for Patrick and the show. He then does the same to some women hosts after telling one of them about her aunt. Tork comes in to relieve Lisbon and she goes home. Why Patrick's Airstream though and not her own house.
At the radio show a man named Lazarus (Aubrey Deeker) calls in ad he's the serial killer as he knows things and talks about pain and Tork calls to have the call traced. Patrick says if he knows something about the case then he should tell them. He talks about the other psychic and he was a fake. Abbot saying no one else knew about the word being etched on Gabriel's arm. Wylie traces the call to a landline and when they arrive there, they find the phone's been rigged. He believes in spirits and wants to know who haunts Patrick. Abbot tells them to come into the office and Patrick calls Lisbon. She gets to the Airstream and asks if he left the door open. He tells her to get back but she insists on checking it out. Yeah very clever Lisbon, how long has she been an agent for, it could've been rigged for all she knew. Inside it's empty and she thinks he left the door open. So how come all of a sudden Patrick's lost his memory and doesn't recall if he closed the door or not.
He gets into the car with Tork and suddenly the car is rammed. Patrick is abducted and Tork is taken to hospital. He is handcuffed to the table with a pillow over his head. Abbott says everyone is going to be working on this and he apologizes to Lisbon for not listening. But that Patrick is the best person to exploit the situation and he was right. He talks to Lazarus who offers him some water. He tells Lazarus it's his father's place cos of the furniture and could use some modernization. Patrick tells him this doesn't work the way he saw it on TV but Patrick isn't a liar. He pulls a gun on him.
Tork returns and Cho tells him it could've happened to any one of them. Wylie has been looking into the blood aspects of the case and has found a bookshop called The Grimoire, which Cho tells Abbott is a magical textbook. Wylie thinks they should check it out cos that's what Patrick would do. As he says, usual things would give the usual results, dead. Patrick tells Lazarus he was raised by his strict father after his mother died and he ate alone cos he hated the sounds people made when they ate. Lazarus wants to contact someone, but Patrick says there aren't any spirits around him. His phone rings and he leaves for a job. Patrick asking him for the bottle of water. He takes the cap and gets a nail out of the table which he uses to undo his handcuffs. He looks around the room gathering Intel. Such as a credit card bill and opens the door to find a skeleton, that of Lazarus's father with blood on it.
At the store, the woman, Kelis (Kiersten Warren) says she was arrested cos she told one of her friends about the Santeria ritual and they cut up one chicken. Wylie mentions human blood and also that if she helps them with a name they'll help her with the Austin PD. She agrees to help by giving them the IP address of something called Blackmoore and Wylie asks Cho if he did good. Wylie finds there's plenty of discussion about blood rituals and some months ago there was a discussion about harvesting blood. He found a college professor named Alan (Tony Pasqualini). The most common use of the ritual is binding the spirit to a DB.
Patrick finds a box with a photo and fingernails inside it. The professor s brought in but he's lawyered up. Lisbon tells Abbot to let her talk it him. She says he doesn't care what kinky stuff he's into all she's interested in is getting her friend back. Even if he wants to get her fired she doesn't care. She'll tell all his colleagues about his disgusting activities. He finally gives her a list of eight names. Cho finds that the professor's credit card shows he was out of the country for two killings. Patrick is back in his handcuffs and tells Lazarus that Big Joe, his father is here. He hopes he feels better and isn't hurting him anymore. Patrick tells him to stop doubting or the connection will be lost. Patrick mentions a lake called Rickasee, Lazarus corrects him, Pickaseee. He then says he needs to rest for an hour before he can continue, asking for some gum. He then gets free of his cuffs again and turns out the light in the boiler before sticking gum to the lightbulb.
Lazarus tells him there's a voice in him which he has to satisfy and he has to get blood. Cho and Lisbon speak to Rita Martinez (Ivette Gonzalez) who is an apartment manager and asks about Joe Keller. He emailed her about doing exterminator work for her. Wylie finds Joe Snr was a serial killer, or suspected of being one by Austin PD. His house was on Lake Pickasee. Lisbon goes to check it out. Lazarus returns and Patrick tells him his father wants to see him. He opens the door and asks if he smells gas. Patrick gets out of his cuffs and Lazarus switches on the light, finally the house blows, just as Lisbon arrives and that's what happened in Fire and Brimstone, when Lisbon arrived at Patty's house when he had the five RJ suspects gathered there. She finds Patrick inside and tells him to never do that again to her
Lisbon asking him if he's bought her another horse in the beginning. It was a pony. So Patrick gets out alive and what's the betting Lazarus survived. Well it's not just the name you know, ha, he has to otherwise there wouldn't be much they could've down in the final ever episode. Okay so I was wrong about Red John, as mentioned in the review of the previous ep, which is a shame cos there were enough clues and red herrings to have gone back to that connection, but that route wasn't taken. Still as I said before this does come round full circle in psychics and fake psychics were mostly the staple of the show. But why the mention of Byzantium in the title, unless the red was a reference to blood.
Still can't see Patrick in that cabin even if he now wants to be in the great outdoors. It's not just Lisbon either, though she's probably happy just being with him. I've reviewed this in two episodes cos it's easier that way even if we did get it all in one episode.
Patrick on TV was done in season 4 ep, Blinking Red Light. One nitpick though is how Patrick was associated with Red John all those years, appeared on TV and on the radio, not to mention that big trial when he allegedly killed Red John and hey no one recognized him now. Boy Austin must be a small place!! ha. Also he was at the press conference Gabriel gave at the FBI building too.
John D'Aquino in a small part here, you may recall him as Frank Lamotta from Quantum Leap, Jimmy's brother. I used a quote of his in my Quantum Leap book introduction.
