Yes!  I was going to go to bed and watch the show tomorrow but changed my mind at the last minute and am so glad I did.  I would’ve missed out on all the long-awaited Rigsby/Van Pelt drama.  The deeper they made their way into the secret passageway of that house, the more I hoped Wayne would say something.  I had no idea just how bold he would be, however.  “I love you. . .   I need you.”  Wow.  Grace’s unsure response had me worried, and their super awkward follow-up conversation in the car was simply tragic, knowing just how long it took Rigsby to muster up the courage to confess.  When she asked to do the stake-out separately, I figured we were in for a season of even more awkwardness between them.  That suspicion felt proven by the kitchen scene before the pizza.  But then!  Grace proved me wrong and pulled Wayne into one of the empty interrogation rooms for the killer kiss we knew those two were capable of.  Sigh.  Rigsby’s goofy, post-kiss grin was absolutely priceless.  You could tell Jane was onto them when they came in for pizza, but I was sure glad he didn’t out them.  That would have ruined the moment for sure.  I can’t wait to see how long they keep it a secret, especially since it’s against the CBI rules to date people on your team.  You can be sure Jane will have fun with his inside knowledge, however.

As for the case, I wasn’t super surprised it was the nephew, although I certainly wondered about the bookstore owner when Jane called him a “deceitful bag of bones.”  The ghost contraptions in that mansion would make for some fun Halloweens.  Too bad they ended up killing the architect.  I thought it was hilarious that Jane had them drinking the fortune at the end.  Lisbon’s expression was too perfect.
