Season 6 premiered on September 29, 2013. It picked up after the cliffhanger of Red John's Rules.

The Mentalist tells the story of Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. He also makes frequent use of his mentalist abilities to lead witnesses or offenders into offering the actual facts of the case, as known only to them.

Within the Bureau, Patrick Jane is notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium, whose paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. Patrick Jane's role in cracking a series of tough high-profile cases is greatly valued by his fellow agents.

However, no-nonsense Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon openly resists having Patrick Jane in her unit and alternates between reluctantly acknowledging Patrick Jane's usefulness and blasting him for his theatrics, narcissism and dangerous lack of boundaries. Lisbon's team includes agents Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and rookie member Grace Van Pelt, who all think Patrick Jane is a loose cannon but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases.

Season six commences following last season's cliffhanger; the first eight episodes focusing on Jane's search for Red John. During this time a secret association of law enforcement officials, dubbed the "Blake Association" is brought to light and the CBI is closed down. In the eponymous episode ("Red John"), Jane exacts his revenge on his wife and daughter's killer. The show then resets mid-season; two years pass and Lisbon nows works as a local police chief in Washington, while Cho joins Dennis Abbott's FBI unit in Texas. Wayne and Grace Rigsby, meanwhile, stay behind in California to run their own private investigative firm. Jane is then enticed back to the United States after spending two years on a foreign island by the FBI. He joins Abbott's team as a consultant, along with by-the-book agent Kim Fischer and analyst Jason Wylie. Lisbon also becomes an FBI agent. The rest of the season explores Jane and Lisbon's relationship; Jane confesses his love to her in the season finale.
