Mentalist Episode of the Week (Week 7) - 4x20

The Mentalist Episode of the Week (Week 7/?) - Something's Rotten In Redmund 4x20.

The title of this episode comes from Wiliiam Shakespeare's play Hamlet, which the students are performing at the high school where this episode is set. The line in the play is 'Something's rotten in the state of Denmark' from Act 1, Scene 4. Hamlet was chosen to be the play performed as the plot is all about Hamlet vowing to get revenge on the murder of his father, just like Jane's want to get revenge on Red John for killing his wife and daughter.

This is a pivotal Mentalist episode as it marks the birth of Rigsby's son Benjamin. We get to the see the compassion the whole team has when Van Pelt helps a former suspect get their life back and when Rigsby give advice to a suspect. about their height Most of this episode is light hearted with Jane teasing Lisbon and many fun team scenes but the final scene is absolutely heart-breaking as we see how much Jane misses being a father.

Some more interesting facts from this episode:

When Jane tells Van Pelt "Patience, Grasshopper", he is quoting a catchphrase from the TV series "Kung Fu".

The outside of the high school is the same high school the Camden kids attend in the Tv series "7th Heaven".

Matt McCoy and Simon Baker appeared together in the film "L.A. Confidential" (1997).

Just curious, does anyone remember 7th Heaven? You know that CBS drama from the 90′s and early 2000′s, about the minister’s family, and their many, many additions over the years. Well, this insane drama, that ran for 11 freaking years, is technically the first CW show (And I say technically because it was one of many shows that came over from when the WB combined with UPN, and our good old CW network was born. But my point still stands).

So, because I recently skim watched through the majority of the seasons in a desperate attempt to satisfy my childhood nostalgia for the show (I have similar nostalgia for 70′s dramas too, but this one sticks back to me every few years, without fail), I decided I was going to list some of the more insane things that happened on the show, to prove it really helped with what would become the CW’s favorite toys. (If I ever watch seasons 5 and 6 of One Tree Hill, I might even play this insane game with that show too). 

*Claps hands together dramatically* Let us begin!

First off, lets discuss the obvious, found family. And oh dear gods, there is a metric crap ton of found family. The found family ranges from one of the main character’s (Mary’s) ex boyfriend (Robbie) becoming a series regular and moving into her familie’s home, after, I repeat, after, the two break up. These parents seriously consider adopting (and honorarily adopt) their daughter’s ex, and let him live in their home for two years. They then go through a similar process with a complete random guy later in the show for no apparent reason then throwing in a brother figure because all the older boys had left. This section also wouldn’t be complete without mentioning sweet innocent Peter, the neighboring boy who falls in love with Ruthie (The youngest daughter in this shows main family) and becomes her best friend/boyfriend for two seasons, and practically lives with the main family while this occurs. Ya, for a show about a minister’s family the parents are surprisingly lenient with their 12 year olds love interest. 

Did I mention the main family is made up of seven siblings? With chaotic relationship levels that far surpass anything going on in Riverdale (Okay, in Riverdale season 1). Ya, this show had 9 main characters on average, sometimes it has more. In fact, the freaking 10th season has about as many non main family main characters as it does biologically related characters, because so many people had left the show. You know, because it was in its 10th season! 

Now, rolling back around to CW classics this show pulled, we have the siblings dating other sets of siblings. That’s right folks this happens often, but the flat out funniest instance of it ever occurring is with our two older sisters, Mary and Lucy. Mary, cheats on her fiancé (Who deserves a hilarity trope mention all of his own) by snogging a fire man, who she later kind of dates, and then by pure chance, Lucy, ends up love at first sighting said fireman’s brother, after the brother, Kevin, runs into to the sisters at the airport (Because he’s a cop, and Lucy could not travel to save her life). The love at first sight is so strong, Lucy and Kevin end up engaged, after Kevin uproots his life for her after like three episodes of dating. I’m not kidding, not a half season after first meeting these two are engaged!

And this isn’t even the first love at first sight sibling marriage! In fact, it’s the longest of any of them! Because Lucy’s older brother Matt, love at first sight overnight marries his wife in the shows 6th season. He does this less than 2 seasons after it is implied he married his on again off again semi true love, Heather, who he once crashed the wedding of. 

And he still isn’t the worst of them. Remember how I said Mary’s fiancé deserves his own hilarity, well here we are. Said fiancé, Wilson, was her high school boyfriend, who was a teen father and widower Mary first met back in the shows 1st season (When Matt met Heather, funny enough). Well after many a boyfriend mishap (Including that found family member Robbi, see above) and a brief instance of stealing Lucy’s boyfriend, Mary ends up back with Wilson, and even engaged to him. But, see above, cheats and back and forths with Lucy’s future brother in law, Ben. And yet still, the guy she ends up marrying, isn’t in any way shape or form connected to any of the previously mentioned love interests. No no, her future husband, Carlos, shows up out of the blue and she shot gun marries him, briefly considers an annulment, than gives up after falling in love. Her and Carlos, end up with three children by the end of the shows 11th season.

What the heck was this show?

Simon, the sweetest and most clever of the siblings for about 4 seasons before the show forgets how to write him (A CW classic if there ever was one), also has some wedding drama of his own in later seasons, but as I like to pretend his character arc ended with his middle school girlfriend and clever money keeping skills half way through season 4, I won’t try and remember that few seasons of total soap opera crap. 

There’s also Ruthie, the youngest daughter, (Who’s character arc might be the absolute worst of the entire show, even worse than Simon’s), almost made it out alive from this seeming sibling curse of stupidity. But she didn’t, and with the brief exception of her frankly sickly sweet relationship with Peter in seasons 7 and 8 (See above); everything seasons 9-11 they do to her is, to put it simply, painful and horrendous. Not only do they ruin a smart, kind, well rounded, and briefly referenced to be highly intelligent (They actual send her to a fancy private school, on scholarship, for a season and a half in season 5, before sending her back to Public school and forgetting this character trait), but they even tried to write her brief few months in a prestigious boarding school in Scotland (They fucking sent her to Scotland, where it is highly implied she got back with Peter at, because he moved there) as being a selfish and snotty choice. She’s selfish for wanting to learn and be educated in a foreign country, ya this show does higher education dirty for Ruthie while trying to push it for Mary and confusingly forcing it through Simon’s and Lucy’s plot lines in later seasons. Inconsistent writing, another CW classic. 

To throw in some more, I’m just gonna list some of the craziness. Matt wedding crashes in the shows 3rd season. Annie (The mother of the main Camden family) has twin sons, Sam and David, also in the shows 3rd season (these twins have an 8 year age gap with Ruthie, the previous youngest). Lucy, Mary, and Matt have 7 children between them, including two sets of twins, by the end of the shows 11th season, ya how the heck the writers managed that I have no idea. Lucy’s husband, Kevin, ends up being quite rich, a fact not mentioned until he and Lucy are almost married. Simon at one point ends up hitting and killing a boy with his car (Ya, the later seasons really do his character dirty, has my anger about this been made clear yet?), this results in trauma, him getting sent to college early, and the ultimate downward spiral of his character arc. Oh, and how could I forget that Mary was a basketball star but ended up loosing her scholarship after she was arrested for vandalizing her school in anger over sports drama. 

So to recap; relationship drama, check; arrests, check; murder, check; pregnancies, check; boys and girls can’t be friends without falling in love, check; seeming never ending levels of plot convenience, check; common old character returns, check. And, last but certainly not least, sucky character arc decisions because the writers have run out of ideas, check!

I hope this little spiral about a near three decade old TV drama has been educational and entertaining to all those who read it. And, in case it wasn’t clear, I have a personal biased for Ruthie and Simon, and a slight adoration for Ruthie and Peter; and Lucy and Kevin.

Ruthie: “ Yeah well I bet you your wrong. You don’t know everything.”

Simon: “I know my phone number when someone asks for it.”

Ruthie: “And still no one calls”

This is in the first season people. I’m telling you its worth a rewatch.

I'm rewatching TV shows that I used to watch when I was young, and this month I'm watching "7th heaven".

While there are a lot of things that are just super exaggerated and blown out of proportion for the sake of teaching kids not to go to party, and use drugs, cutting class and lying to your parents (it is a conservative Christian show after all) there are also some really good episodes with teachings that are actually good and really up to date. For example there is an episode that deals with abuse and not only encourages people to, of course, press charges against the abusers but it also acknowledges the fact that that's a really hard thing to do, that it takes a lot of courage and there is nothing easy about it. It also encourages people, in this case a male teacher that was abused by his dad when he was a kid, to go to therapy and talk with someone so that can get better. On the same note there is an episode that deals with a girl that is harming herself and her too went to therapy and at the end is going back because she related. An episode deals with sexual harassment and the guy is shown as the bad guy and the situation is dealt with. There is a really good episode that deals with moms and jobs and shows that woman can be more than mothers, that they can go to college and get degrees and have awesome jobs, but it also teaches that not every woman wants that, Annie, the mother protagonists, doesn't want that, she loves being a mom and a housewife, taking care of her kids and making them happy is what makes her happy, and that's perfectly fine to. She doesn't need a job because being a mom of 5 kids is her job, a really hard one at that. So yes, there are a lot of things that I can't help but roll my eyes at because they are just so over dramatic, and I get a bit uncomfortable when there is too much religion involved because I'm not religious (if I have to be honest though there is not as much religion as one would think, which I'm grateful for) but there are also some good things.
