My most favourite episode of not just Mentalist, but also any of the TV series I have watched. Without giving away the plot, the core concept is fantastic, and it shown unparallel acting from Simon Baker (not just a superficially charming funny guy, but such depth of expressions in brief glances and passing moment.

The crime solving part was a bit patchy and slightly subpar, but the special element of the episode makes up for it and much more. I found it heartbreaking, particularly in the very last scene with Jane in an empty apartment, sipping from a cup, trying to re-capture what is lost forever...
