-As I was watching this episode suddenly so many things made sense. First off everyone has been saying how different Pike is from Jane. Actually they aren't that different. Yes, they both have four letter last names but I mean more than that. Pike was married so was Jane. They both had a home, a family that ended and neither has recovered from it. Jane stays away from real relationships, while Pike jumps in- both are in desperation. These men are broken and need to be saved. And here enters the ultimate savior- Lisbon. Pike wants that family again...Jane needs Lisbon around. Pike wants Lisbon to come to DC with him, Jane had Lisbon move to Austin to be with him. Pike is obsessive. Golly so is Jane. Pike is in touch with his feminine side and the finer things...hm so is Jane. Pike is manipulative like Jane. Look how he tells her about the job then says he isn't going to take it and when she prods him then says come with him. Totally manipulation to get what he wants- her. Pike is needy and needs to be wanted. Jane loves attention and is needy, too.
-So guess what people, Pike is Jane to Lisbon. Lisbon is living out all her Jane fantasies- sex, love, romance, him wanting her. Lisbon has always been someone who wanted to fix broken toys. She has been trying for years to fix Jane while losing everything in return (including her job). But she did it because he NEEDED her. Now with Pike, Lisbon is again giving up everything because she is trying to fix him. Lisbon is doing what she couldn't for her father- save him and make him happy. Lisbon tried to save Jane but she failed and he killed Red John. Pike is easier to save plus you get sex out of it- she just needs to be with him. Finally Lisbon would accomplish what she always desired- saving a man from himself.
-Jane said in season 1 and then season 2 and again and again that he was going to save Lisbon. That's coming people. Because although we Lisbon fans don't like to admit it, Lisbon does need some saving even if she doesn't realize it. Jane isn't taking her from Pike, he is saving her by finally setting himself free...to not need to be fixed anymore. And then Jane can help her pick up her own pieces, fix her own self and realize that isn't her job to fix the broken.
-This was such a brilliant episode and then all the fun with it. I will write a longer review tomorrow.
Every time I read and wonder your ability to see detail and understand their true meaning. This is amazing. Waiting for detailed review.
