The Mentalist (2008)
1 continuity mistake in The Thin Red Line - chronological order
Starring: Robin Tunney, Simon Baker, Owain Yeoman, Tim Kang
Strawberries and Cream: Part 1 - S3-E23
Plot hole: In the heat of killing fake Red John, Jane forgot to notice that Craig O'Laughlin never knew about the mall setup to lure Red John. So definitely Gale Bertram himself was in contact with the serial killer which he may have missed first up, but all that time in jail afterwards he could have figured it out.
Kimball Cho: What do you need?
Patrick Jane: Backup.
Kimball Cho: I don't like it when you say you need backup and nothing's happened yet.
Trivia: At the time the episode was shooting, Lucy Davis, who plays the victim's widow, was married to Owain Yeoman.
