Television’s 3 Most Brilliant and Emotionally Intense Characters- feat Patrick Jane
Where the characters ended up after 2 seasons:
– In several episodes, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) got close to the murderer of his wife and daughter – Red John. However John elluded him and his mates in the CBI.
– Patrick was close to dating and romantic possibilities, until he crossed paths with Christina (Leslie Hope) again.
He didn’t believe in her ability as a psychic, but was impressed with her ability to read people and it seemed like he found his match in the mental area. They even agreed to go on a date, but Red John stroke again. Christina made the mistake of thinking she could reach out to the serial killer’s troubled soul and she ended up being kidnapped by him. Of course this traumatized Patrick.
– Agents Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) and Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) dated and it was going good, until they had to come out to Lisbon and the director. If they wanted to keep dating, one of them needed to transfer. Van Pelt didn’t want this kind of pressure on their relationship so they ended it. It was awkward for a while but they got the hang of it.
