Quotes
Grace Van Pelt: And for the record, I'm not angry about the baby.
Wayne Rigsby: Oh, really? 'Cause I never thought you were angry, but you sound kind of angry now.
Grace Van Pelt: No, I just thought it was weird that you would have a baby with someone you barely knew.
Wayne Rigsby: Well, why don't you tell me what you really think?
Grace Van Pelt: But...
Wayne Rigsby: But what? What else is there?
Grace Van Pelt: But I love that you're a dad.
Wayne Rigsby: You do?
Grace Van Pelt: When we got together, we were kids. I was a young, naive girl. I wasn't ready to commit to you. It wasn't about the job. At least that wasn't all of it. But things have changed since then. We're not the same. And that's okay. I like who I am now. I like who you are. You're a man.

True Feelings

When Missy Roberts is found murdered at home shot in the chest and foot while her husband Kip is rafting, Patrick Jane finds that the couple had problems in their marriage. They locate Kip in a hotel with a hooker and learn that they had gone to a radio show hosted by Buddy Hennings and then had private sessions with him expecting to fix their marriage. Rigsby and Van Pelt pose of a married couple having problems and go to the show to try to discover the killer.

"Red Velvet Cupcakes" is a reasonable episode of "The Mentalist" only. The best part is the relationship of Rigsby and Van Pelt working undercover in the radio show. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Red Velvet Cupcakes"
