'The Mentalist' to head into the future? Season 7 to feature episode directed by Simon Baker, Jisbon to be broken up by new love interest? [Spoilers]

By

The American crime drama series "The Mentalist" is expected to be back with a new season that would show Patrick Jane's worldafter that highly-anticipated kiss with Teresa Lisbon. The show, which would also be on its seventh and final season, will also feature an episode directed by Simon Baker, who plays Jane, according to Enstarz. Baker is reportedly not alien to directing, as the actor has always been tapped to work on the director's chair at least once every season.

Meanwhile, the new season is expected to explore Jane's love life after the sixth season's final episode showed him confessed his love for Robin Tunney's before boarding a plane to leave. Several rumors have circulated that he might not have boarded the plane but, instead, chose to be with his partner.

According to several reports, the show could just exhibit a time warp, with scenes purportedly taken years into the future after the Jisbon kiss. Although it was a question to the viewers on how the show will be able to wrap the series in under 13 episodes - the shortest for the CBS mystery.

Meanwhile, the Jisbon love affair might be threatened with the introduction of a new character named Michelle Vega. Vega, to be portrayed by "Make It Or Break It" star Josie Loren, is a rookie FBI agent who is a student of combat and weaponry and is unfazed by high-pressure situations, according to TV Line. Despite the addition of a new character in the final season of the show, Christian Post said that a series regular is also clamoring for other guest stars to return. Actor Tim Kang, who plays Kimball Cho, who is a member of Lisbon's serious crime unit, appears to be reminiscing his brief chemistry with Samaire Armstrong. The actress played Summer Edgecombe in the show.

Referring to his favorite episode in the series, "At First Blush," Kang tweeted, "She's (Armstrong) on @Resurrection now. Trying to get her to come back to @Mentalist_CBS. Cho misses her."
