So Long, and Thanks for All the Red Snapper is the twenty-second episode of Season 4 of The Mentalist.
The investigation into the murder of a surfer gets Lisbon back in touch with an old flame, while Summer makes a fateful decision that could affect her relationship with Cho.
In this episode, Jane and Lisbon investigate the murder of Jay Banner, a San Martinez local surfer and part-time marine scavenger, whose body was found buried in the sand on the beach. Jane and Lisbon, needing more information, decide to talk to Jay’s employer Greg, who just happens to be Lisbon’s ex-fiancé.
Greg’s wife, Greta seems to know a bit about Lisbon, as she appears to know about the infamous “Teresa Lisbon” and her former relationship with her husband and seems to be none too thrilled to be meeting her. Greg makes a few comments indicating that it was Teresa who ended their relationship and Teresa, not wanting to go down that road, again steers the conversation back to the investigation at hand. Greg and Greta inform Lisbon that Jay quit about a week ago and states that Jay seemed to have something weighing on his mind for a couple of weeks. Jane also notices Greg’s lack of sympathy for Jay and calls him on it. Greg states that he didn’t like the way Jay treated women, by using them one minute and throwing them away for the next. The line of questioning gets interrupted by Greg and Greta’s children.
Meanwhile, Cho and Van Pelt head over to Jay’s house and encounter the landlord, Lance, and the roommate, Jeter. Jeter states that he was with Jay the morning of his death, as he and Jay went surfing. He recalls a boat coming into the harbor, which was odd especially at that hour seeing there, was a heavy marine layer. Lance also says that Jay was about to move out and was planning to live on his boat, which is currently missing.
While searching Jay’s room, Cho finds a large quantity of cocaine with a lightning bolt logo on the packages. Cho contacts Summer for information on the logo and she identifies that the drug dealer for that particular logo goes by the name of Tookie and is a local player in the drug market in the city. Cho asks Summer to find out anything about Jay, but to stay away from Tookie. Summer ignoring Cho’s plea decides to talk Tookie anyway, but learns nothing of value. She thanks Tookie for his time, but before she leaves she steals some of his cocaine. A little while later, Cho arrives at Summer’s apartment and he notices that something is off when Summer refuses to come out of the bathroom. He busts down the door and finds a badly beaten Summer.
Summer claims it was mugging, but he is knows that she is lying to him and that she went to Tookie. He leaves her alone for the time being and decides to go after Tookie. He beats Tookie up pretty badly, but Tookie unfortunately spills the beans about Summer’s drug theft which Cho knew nothing about. Cho tells Tookie to stay away from Summer and heads back to his girlfriend’s apartment. She and Cho get into a heated argument after he confronts her about the drugs. She relents underneath his questioning and explains that she was bored and wanted to try something fun. Cho, angered by Summer’s carelessness, destroys the leftover drugs, much to Summer’s objection. Cho accidently pushes Summer when she tries to stop him from destroying the drugs, which shocks them both.
Back at San Martinez, Jane is chatting with the locals and comes across some interesting information about a sunken ship named the Freemont. According to the local retirees, the Freemont was a vessel with close to $60 million dollars’ worth of gold in its hull when it sank off the coast of San Martinez. The gold was never recovered except for a piece that one of the retirees carries around. Jane thanks his newfound friends, while stealing the only gold coin to have ever been recovered and meets up with Lisbon to search for Jay’s missing boat. Jane informs Lisbon about his theories that Jay was looking for the missing treasure and that the treasure was possibly the reason Jay was killed, but he isn’t certain. He does however, help Lisbon find the missing boat, which so happens to be in the local Police Impound, but as they approach the boat they hear movement from inside and Lisbon calls for whoever to come on out with their hands up, which happens to be Greg.
