The Mentalist - Scarlett Ribbons

Probably THE BEST Season premiere this year, The Mentalist returns with their fourth season with Patrick Jane under arrest for the murder of a man in a shopping centre, a man he believes is Red John, the psycho who murdered his wife and daughter.
Doubt is put in everyone's mind when the man's wife reveals he was a kind man who helped in his community.  Could Jane have got it wrong?
Jane gets himself out of jail and convinces his old team to help him out.  Lisbon is out of a job, Rigsby is security at the CBI front entrance, and Cho and Van Pelt are assigned elsewhere.  He visits the house of the woman at the time of the wake and she tells him about her husband even helping with the search for a missing girl in the neighbourhood.
He goes back to the house later that night, breaks in and lies in wait.  Soon, he finds that the woman has the missing girl chained up in a hidden room in the basement.  So the man must have been Red John all along.  Or was he?
Not only was this a highly satisfying story, there was a large amount of humour in the writing which was just fantastic and added so much to this show.  Simon Baker is brilliant as Patrick Jane.
