"Red Tide" is the third episode of season one of The Mentalist. It aired on October 14th, 2008 in the US and April 9th, 2009 in the UK.
Once again Patrick is entertaining the CBI team with his mental acuity. Van Pelt has hidden the keys to the van and he is making a grand show of finding them. To everyone's surprise and Patrick's delight, he digs them out of the hiding spot and asks who wants to ride shotgun. They head out to the beach in Santa Marta to investigate their latest case.
At the beach, several young people have gathered to hold a memorial service for their friend, Christine Tanner. They have set up a shrine with candles, pictures, flowers and stuffed animals. They begin throwing flower leis into the ocean as a tribute. As Patrick, Rigsby and Cho walk towards the crime scene, they are still discussing the logistics of Patrick finding the hidden keys. Hope and Win, two of the mourners approach the CBI agents to ask if the rumors are true that someone killed Christine. Patrick confirms that she was murdered. They begin questioning the two about Christine and her friends. Both Hope and Win assure them that all Christine's friends liked her. When Hope tells them that Christine was hooking up with Danny Kurtik, Win seems a little disturbed. He assures the agents that Danny would never have hurt her. Rigsby asks them to write down their names and numbers. While Hope is writing down her information, Patrick takes this opportunity to ask a rather strange question of Win...
Rigsby and Cho accept Patrick's line of questioning without challenge but once Hope and Win leave, Rigsby asks Patrick exactly how those questions were relevant. Cho chimes in with the suggestions they are looking for someone who doesn't like orange rabbits. Although he was being facetious, Patrick agrees. Patrick looks around and declares that he likes in on the beach and tells them that he is going to stay for a while. He proceeds to remove his jacket and lie down in the sand. Cho and Rigsby decide to leave him and return to the station.
Later, Lisbon and Van Pelt visit Christine's home. They are ushered into a modest home by Jack Tanner, Chris' father. Sitting in a couple of overstuffed chairs are Christine's younger siblings...Mikey playing with his Game Boy™ and Alisa reading a book. He apologizes for the mess, explaining that it was Christine who took care of the house. Lisbon suggests that they speak away from the children since they will be discussing some rather sensitive issues. Mr. Tanner dismisses her concerns but Lisbon insists. As the children leave, she notices an empty beer bottle and two bottles of nearly empty bottles of hard liquor on the coffee table with a couple of used glasses next to them. When they sit, Lisbon asks him when he noticed Christine was missing. He admits that he hadn't seen her in two days but didn't report it for another day.
He explains that she was very independent; he never had to worry about her because she was a good girl. When Lisbon challenges him for his lack of vigilance in keeping track of his daughter, he becomes defensive. He explains that he works hard and doesn't have time to keep track of her every move. He tells them that a drunk driver killed their mother in a car accident five years ago; he depended on Christine to take over the role of mother. Tanner seems a little lost. He doesn't know how he is going to manage to care for Mikey and Lisa without her. Lisbon asks about Christine's arrest last year. Tanner dismisses saying she was caught with a few joints but she didn't hang out with that crowd anymore. She started hanging out with the surfing crowd. He believed they were a better crowd for her because they seemed more upscale. He gave Lisbon a few names of the kids with whom Christine was spending time. He calls to Alisa to make her brother some lunch. Lisbon looks thoughtfully, considering this grieving father's over dependence on his young daughter. As they leave the Tanner home, Grace comments on how difficult it must be for Teresa to hear about Tanner's wife being killed by a drunk driver since her mother was also killed that way. Lisbon refuses to discuss her personal life a professional setting. She calls the station to get Cho to check on the kids in the surfing crowd Christine was hanging out with.
At the beach, Patrick settles in and begins to build a sand castle. He starts digging in the sand with his shoe until a young girl playing next to him gives him a pail. He accepts her generosity with a big smile and gets to work. As Patrick makes a rather significant structure out of sand, he draws a crowd who reward his efforts with applause.
