Ep 4. Ladies in Red

Patrick Jane and the CBI team investigate the murder of a wealthy businessman named Harold Metzger, who is found dead in his home. The investigation quickly reveals that Metzger was leading a double life with several mistresses, all of whom were wearing red dresses on the night of the murder.

As the team delves deeper into the case, they discover numerous motives for the murder. Metzger's wife was unhappy in their marriage and had filed for divorce. One of his mistresses was a struggling artist who believed he was going to leave his wife for her.

Meanwhile, Jane takes a particular interest in the case due to his own history with women in red dresses. He is haunted by memories of his late wife, who was murdered by a serial killer known as Red John. Jane becomes convinced that Red John is somehow connected to the case and begins to investigate on his own, putting him at odds with the rest of the team.

As the investigation continues, the team uncovers a web of lies and deceit, leading to a shocking conclusion. Jane's personal quest for revenge is also brought to an unexpected turning point, with consequences that will ripple throughout the rest of the series.

Overall, "Ladies in Red" is a compelling episode that showcases the show's ability to blend complex murder mysteries with character-driven drama. The episode also sets up important plot points that will continue to resonate throughout the rest of the season and the show as a whole.
