Mentalist 2X11: Rose-Colored Glasses

So, this was fun. Or maybe it was just the playlist for this episode that was fun. Lol.

We've got a dead couple in a car. And, Grace manages to convince Lisbon that she's ready to spend more time in the field. She agrees, but that means that Rigsby ends up having to stay behind. He learns very quickly that it's not that fun to isolated from the rest of the group.

We figured out that they were on their way to a high school reunion (well, Jane does). When they get to the reunion, they start questioning everyone (specifically the class chair?) and they find out that they were not expected to be at the reunion. Seeing as the guy never actually graduated and got expelled for tormenting one of the other students.

Cho and Grace head over to the apartment of the dead guy and find a threatening message on his answering machine. Something about giving him the money he's owed or else. Rigsby sets them up with his mom who tells them that they only knew each other for a few months before they got married. She's from Poland and didn't have any family here, but she thought she was good for her son.

Jane is busy riling people up at the reunion. He's having a lot of fun getting people to fight. Lisbon, stupidly, allows him to stay and hang out at the reunion while she goes elsewhere.

Turns out, the dead wife, Jana, was actually supposed to be a mail order bride (is that correct term, still?) for someone else. He was upset when she called off the wedding and just wanted the money back that he spent for getting her over here. The couple promised to pay him back when she fell in love with the dead dude. But they didn't.

To make a crazy story short, it turns out, the murderer was the class chair lady. Apparently, there were pictures of her involved in that prank. Actually, it was her idea. And she was about to get a good job and this might destroy her, so she was being blackmailed by the dead guy and his wife (for money to pay off the guy who ordered her). However, she decided she didn't wanna pay and just killed them and took the photos (and the negatives).

But let's not leave out Rigsby posing as the dead tormenting guy to flush out the culprit. It was really, really fun to see Rigsby like this. Especially after he spent the whole episode sad and annoyed that he wasn't really part of the group.
