Added 2025-11-26 19:00:13 +0000 UTCThe CBI team is called to investigate a double homicide but are interrupted by FBI Agents Reede Smith (Drew Powell) and Gabe Mancini (Ivan Sergei). The CBI Sacramento Field Division Office with the CHP Central's Division and the FBI Austin Texas Field Division Office blame each other for botching the Red John case and get into a fight. Director Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston) instructs Jane and Lisbon to mend ways with the FBI.
Jane is desperate to keep Lorelei in CBI custody given Red John's admission that he has a friend in the FBI. Jane talks to Lorelei who asks him to kiss her and says she will consider his offer of helping her escape if she hands over Red John. They decide to talk again that evening.
The CBI looks into the deaths of Callie and Rex. Callie's sister, Nicola says she doesn't know a Rex and the team finally determine that he was there to fix her computer.
Jane cracks the case realizing that Callie was murdered for her winning lottery ticket. She found out she had won while Rex was there and when he tried to strangle her, she hit him with a bottle of champagne and he died. Before she passed out, she called 911 and it was the responding officer who suffocated her with a pillow and stole the ticket.
The CBI and FBI call a trial to determine who will get Lorelei's custody after the FBI had taken her away. The CBI win but when Jane and Lisbon go to collect her the next morning, they are brought another woman establishing Lorelei has escaped.
