The Mentalist - Pretty Red Balloon

The CBI team are back together but under a new boss.  Their first case is to find a kidnapped boy.  The mother ends up being a former client of Patrick's when he used to portray himself as a psychic and rip people off for their money.  This was one part of the show I was a bit put off by.  Here Jane is confronted by his 'illegal' past where he knowingly scammed money from this woman and yet he does not offer to return her money, even though he is now reformed.  Especially when he meets her new 'psychic' advisor, who is also scamming her.  Jane does the right thing by getting rid of him, but wasn't he guilty of doing the exact same thing?
