Jane agrees to help FBI agent Susan Darcy with a homicide investigation, although he suspects she has an ulterior motive in wanting his assistance: probing him for information about Red John. The case appears simple at first – a woman's body was found murdered in a secluded mountain meadow, and a mentally disturbed war veteran remembers waking up next to her covered in blood. The rest of the CBI team handles the murder of a young woman who was killed after meeting a man in an online chatroom. Lisbon is convinced that the murderer is an arrogant techy billionaire, but without Jane around they find it difficult to get a confession.
