Like a ghost from Christmas past, one of Jane's old clients came back to visit him in "Pretty Red Balloon."

With her son kidnapped, Beth was desperate for answers and so gullible she wouldn't believe Patrick when he told her he's not a psychic and never actually was.

I appreciated Jane's honesty and his protectiveness when he told Beth's new spiritual advisor to take a hike. Of course, the new charlatan wasn't about to walk away from such an easy mark and I couldn't wait to see Jane take the smug psychic down.

But was Patrick intervening because his conscience was bothering him as Lisbon said? Or did he simply take offense to someone doing such a poor job of pulling off a con? Or was it that a young boy's life was on the line and this was no time for playing mind games to make a dollar? Maybe it was all of the above.

Concerning the investigation, both suspects were creepy - and how stupid was that guy's girlfriend that she couldn't tell he didn't have a flat tire? I had no idea being gullible could be so contagious.

Was Grace meant to enter the suspect's house alone? She may have been playing around with Rigsby afterward, but I thought she seemed to get off on the power of shooting that man. Perhaps she's trying to take back control after all of the trauma and chaos in her personal life. Because the man she shot had already killed two boys and had opened fire on her team, I do suppose he had it coming.

Patrick's psychic moment was downright laughable, but I guess people will believe anything when they want to badly enough. And why is it that all psychics say someone is being held near a body of water? It sounds like the trick is in the use of the word "near."  It can mean 10 feet away or two miles and a "body of water" could be the ocean or a swimming pool. Patrick's correct, of course. There's always water around somewhere if you're willing to look and if the terms you use are vague enough someone else will undoubtedly fill in the blanks.

Personally, I enjoy the episodes where Jane's old life comes crashing up against his new one. I'd love to see more psychics, conmen and ex-clients in his future.

The best part of the episode was the end. Jane and Lisbon's banter was in top form as they joked about who was going to Hell and Teresa prodded him for a theological debate. I wished he would have gone along with that but it was almost too much for Patrick. He needed a nap.
