This is the main recap page for The Mentalist listed per season.
The names of each episode are derived from a play on a color. Up until Season 6's Red John, the episodes were either a pun or play on the color red to reflect the main plot of Patrick finding said killer. After this point, the episode names incorporate other colors from the spectrum to reflect Patrick's journey of leaving his past behind and moving on from his emotional turmoil.
WARNING: Given the nature of the show, there are spoilers on the pages in work and may be unmarked . Proceed at your own risk.
