When the mobster Gabriel Junior is shot in a party in his isolated house in the country, Patrick and the CBI agents investigate the crime scene. Gabriel is the son of the crime boss Gabriel Porchetto, who is dying of cancer. The agents have difficulties to have information from the older son and heir Sergio and from the security chief Curtis Nett. Meanwhile Grace Van Pelt is transporting the hooker Janpen, who is the witness of the murder, when they have a car accident. Van Pelt is lost in the woods and hunted down by the killer, and has the cooperation of her former lover Craig O'Laughlin. Meanwhile the team look for her and Patrick plots a trap for the killer.

"My Bloody Valentine" is an episode of "The Mentalist" where Van Pelt is the lead star. Her experience with O'Laughlin is silly for non-believers of spiritual life and should not have been included in the show. The resolution of the crime as usual is solved by Patrick Jane. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "My Bloody Valentine"

Coming from a fan of mentalist, this episode is one of the worst if not the worst and most preposterous ever. Don't remember when was last that I saw SUCH drivel!!

I believe the show has established a certain standard of quality and the authors MUST stick to it to prevent it from turning into a joke or parody. Hopefully it was just a one-off, not a trend: I would hate to lose one of my favorite shows with such an excellent cast, but variably convincing scripts. Hence it would be advisable for the producers to think of reinforcing the group of scriptwriters to make the plots more intriguing but less predictable and whacky.
