First Lisbon then now we get a glimpse into who Jane is. Better late than never! These types of episodes make the show so much better, so much better!

Funny:
Jane
: It’s funny isn’t it, big regrets in life people keep to themselves?
Lisbon: I don’t know, I tell people about you.

Hahahaha! That was hilarious! Jane getting hit with the baseball! Priceless! Lol! That made my day!

This episode was very interesting. Teenage Jane was just as cute and charming as old Jane. But he worked at the circus? That’s kind of sad! His personality hasn’t change much though!

Rigsby and Van Pelt are cute as usual.

Funny:
Rigsby: Barney’s life insurance pay out; 20 million dollars.
Van Pelt: Let me guess, sole beneficiary Leslie Sloop.
Rigsby: 20 million, that’s a pretty good motive. For 20 million dollars, i’d kill you.
Van Pelt: Oh, really?
Rigsby: Oh, no, I mean, kidding, joke.
Van Pelt: Huh…

Cho was great in this episode! Loved when Cho and Jane walked in two different directions!

Also when Jane said people likes driving him around and Cho gives him such a funny look!

Cho running after the leaf blower without knowing why was funny as well!

Only Cho can make this so funny you want to die:
Lisbon[to Cho]: You’re pants are ripped.
Cho[in Cho voice]: We found a witness with immigration problems.

Jane with a head injury was really funny! Almost better then when he was blind in that episode in the first season!

Interesting and sad scene with young Jane and the dying girl. Jane’s dad wasn’t very nice and supportive it seems and the way he used Jane was very sad, poor Jane.

vanpelt.jpg

Beautiful scene when Van Pelt talks Mrs. Sloop out of committing suicide. Nice acting by Amanda Righetti.

Quite emotional when Rigsby and Van Pelt talked about it afterwards also:
Rigsby: I thought you were amazing out there today. I just wanted to tell you that.
Van Pelt: Thank you. I guess.
Rigsby: Can I ask you something?
Van Pelt: I don’t have a sister.
Rigsby: No, I didn’t remember one.
Van Pelt: It just… came out.
