The Mentalist Recap – Season 2, Episode 6 - Black Gold and Red Blood – air date 11/05/09. In this episode, Jane and the CBI team are investigating the murder of a man from blunt force trauma. And … Jane is arrested for planting a bug in Bosco’s office – for which he is put in jail.

Telling evidence on the murder victim is the glitter on his face, and the book that he has with him – with the word vulture in large letters on one page. Then there is the family feud between the dead man’s family and his wife’s family, his wife’s stepmother and oil money.

The murderer is caught – after Jane escapes from jail, with the help of a mouse. Thanks to a bit of slight of hand from Lisbon, Bosco finds it in his best interest to let Jane go and not press charges.
