The truth, Teresa, is that I can’t imagine waking up knowing that I won’t see you. The truth is - I love you. You can’t imagine how good that feels to say out loud. But it scares me and it is the truth. It is the truth of what I feel.
PATRICK JANE & TERESA LISBON So Long, and Thanks for All the Red Snapper
Bonus:
I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh

I love you, I'm sorry.
TERESA LISBON + character development
Jane's Relationship with Hope
Mentalist Mondays - Week 40
Throwing Fire 2x10 and Pretty Red Balloon 4x03 are two key episodes where they show Jane's guilt about his past life as a psychic.
In 2x10, we see how a teenage Patrick Jane is forced by his father into conning a dying teenage girl. In 4x03, an old client asks him to find her son still believing that he's a psychic. In both episodes, his father and his client justify that pretending to be a psychic was ok as he was giving people hope but Jane doesn't believe this.
Jisbon's approach to hope is also really interesting. Lisbon, normally more pessimistic than Jane, comforts him multiple times after near-misses with Red John and maintains hope and optimism that they will catch RJ. Jane, who is usually very optimistic about his plans working, struggles to believe at times he will catch RJ or that he will have a life after RJ is dealt with.
Ladies in Red (S1 x EP4)
Just a selection of scenes that I thought looked good and seemed strong on their own. A Good episode I felt.
Also Bonus Gif of PJ stretched out on the couch (I did what I could to make it into one gif, Might have to make it a two part post on it's own.)

i think you mean what you say when you say you want to die i think you mean what you say when you say you want to stay alive
"(Jane) is on the surface a happy person and kind of graceful and light. The idea is to show that grace and lightness is an act of heroism; it's not simple-minded happiness. It's a conscious decision he is making to live his life positively." - Bruno Heller
