Mentalist Season 5 Ep 4 — The

The prime suspect initially appears to be , a volatile young man from the rival family. However, Patrick Jane uses his keen observational skills and psychological manipulation to peel back the layers of the feud. He discovers that the victim’s death was not a simple act of revenge but a carefully staged crime designed to reignite the dormant conflict for personal gain.

As the CBI (California Bureau of Investigation) investigates, they learn that the victim was the black sheep of the family, involved in reckless and disreputable behavior. The investigation quickly reveals a long-standing, bloody feud between the Tandar family and another Armenian family, the .

The episode opens with the discovery of a body in a vineyard. The victim is identified as , a member of a prominent and wealthy Armenian-American family with ties to organized crime. He was shot execution-style. The Tandar family patriarch, George Tandar , is furious and demands justice, threatening to take matters into his own hands.

is a solid, self-contained episode of The Mentalist that exemplifies the show’s strengths: a charismatic lead, a clever mystery, and a resolution based on psychological insight rather than forensic evidence. While it does not advance the overarching "Red John" storyline, it serves as an entertaining and tightly paced procedural thriller.

The killer is revealed to be , the victim’s own cousin. Ruben killed Mickey to frame the Kasparians, hoping that the ensuing violence would allow him to seize control of the family’s criminal operations from his uncle, George. Jane exposes Ruben’s lie by noting a small, inconsistent detail: Ruben claimed he heard a gunshot from inside a building, but Jane proves that the building’s thick, soundproofed windows would have made that impossible.

7.5/10 – A strong standalone episode with a memorable guest villain and a classic Jane deduction. End of Report

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
