I can't decide if this episode is rather run-of-the-mill because of the case, or because my attitude toward Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) is already ho-hum. Whatever the reason, mob bosses, Jane's usually trickery and Van pelt roaming about in the woods with the ghosts of her past didn't add up to a riveting episode. Lisbon (Robin Tunney) is worried about Van Pelt's coping skills when the necklace her ex-fiancé and Red John groupie, O'Laughlin (Eric Winter) gave her shows back up from evidence. Since Van Pelt has been playing "angry girl" all season since killing him, I'd say Lisbon's worry should have been more immanent a few months ago. Cho (Tim Kang), Jane (Simon Baker) and Van Pelt are sent out to the mountain home of the Gabriel Porchetto (Joaquim de Almeida), a Hispanic crime lord dying of kidney cancer.

Kennedy is 'Lee'-ward; Jones a cop
Jamie Kennedy has been tapped to star opposite Lee Majors in Fox's single-camera comedy pilot Me & Lee? while Orlando Jones is set to star in ABC's untitled cop comedy pilot.
Meanwhile, Miguel Ferrer and Chris Bowers have been tapped to co-star in NBC's drama pilot The Bionic Woman, a reimagination of the 1970s series that was a spinoff of Majors' signature series, The Six Million Dollar Man.
Additionally, Barry Bostwick, Kristy Wu and Andre Holland have joined ABC's untitled Ric Swartzlander comedy pilot, and Ben Savage is set as Todd in the untitled Sachs/Judah pilot.
"Me & Lee?" from Lionsgate, centers on a guy (Kennedy) with chronic back pain who gets more than he bargained for when he undergoes "bionic" back surgery in a secret lab run by actor Lee Majors (playing himself) in the basement of his Beverly Hills mansion. Majors built the lab after becoming obsessed with bionics after "Man" went off the air.
Kennedy next appears in the documentary Heckler, which premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival, and in the comedy feature Kickin' It Old Skool. He is repped by CAA, Principato-Young Entertainment and attorney Mitch Smelkinson.
