In Laroche's Tupperware box is the tongue of the man who raped his mother for 2 hours straight, Scott Sanay sp. The day before his trial, Laroche broke into his apartment while he slept, injected him with a sedative and cut out his tongue. According to the rapists mother Judith Sanay, "they never found his tongue. I understand that's not the answer you were looking for, but there's no real clue about LaRoche's dark secret.

By the way, we know a lot about its personality and that could bring some consideration to the "discussion". He lives in a big house fitted with monothematic ornaments and only a cat as a friend. He's extremely detailed and obsessive.

He has good feelings. He probably experienced a tragic lost and maybe he feel responsible for it. His secret could be someway related to this profile. Sign up to join this community.

And there, by chance, was Risgby. Patrick Jane : Well, I'm flattered. You flatter me, but I can't take credit for that. Teresa Lisbon : Moss didn't have to run, I would have brought him in. LaRoche : The plan did require Moss to put his own head in the noose. Small gamble Jane had to make to keep everyone's hands clean.

Teresa Lisbon : Moss fired his gun! LaRoche : So you all say. And, of course, Moss can't tell his version. When agents arrive, there is no one in the back seat. The long-barreled gun is propped there, the barrel still attached to Jane's head, and Hightower has fled. During that time, Bertram quotes William Blake. LaRoche then returns to his car to head home. Jane takes a bottle of scotch to LaRoche as a thank you, then sneaks to LaRoche's car where Hightower is hidden in the trunk Red Queen -- the place she has been per her and Jane's plan which is shown in a brief flashback -- and Jane helps her escape unbeknownst to LaRoche.

When Lisbon and the team are investigating a dead doctor at a golfing range, LaRoche shows up to ask Lisbon about whether she knows anything about Hightower's whereabouts. Lisbon is pretty annoyed with LaRoche, claiming she is going to have him banned when Hightower is replaced. Unfortunately for her, LaRoche was appointed to take Hightower's position that morning and puts Cho in charge of the team.

At the end of the episode, Lisbon and the team arrest the murderer of the doctor. LaRoche congratulates Lisbon personally and reinstates her as the boss. He tells her, "Maybe I was messing with you. LaRoche's house is broken into by some man, who has pulled out books from a shelf and is getting into the safe. LaRoche, holding a dog in one arm and a gun in the other, pops out. The intruder runs away, but the cops catch him. As he is being arrested, we see Jane's car speeding away.

Jane had hired Culpepper to steal something from LaRoche. Culpepper threatens Jane, saying if Jane does not get him out free and clear, he's going to reveal all. Jane eventually tells Lisbon why he hired Culpepper - to get the list of suspects for the Todd Johnson case. There are four people left on the list, besides Hightower. Jane claims that if none of the four are Red John's mole, then in must be LaRoche himself.

Lisbon agrees to help Jane by punching Culpepper, which releases the man. No case. LaRoche is not happy and Lisbon has a week of suspension and has to attend anger management classes. Meanwhile, LaRoche has a call from the state department concerning his case. The CBI are investigating a bombing that occurred at a gas station. They find some kind of code written on a bathroom wall that leads them to this locker room in Windsor High School.

Jane goes to met Lisbon there, finding her strapped into a bomb vest, just like the first victim in the gas station, Dinkler. The bomber calls Lisbon on the phone and tells her to deliver CDs they recovered to him. Jane has of course figured out who the bomber is and instead of going to the evidence in CBI, they go straight to the bomber - the gas station attendant. Strawberries and Cream. Lisbon gets the vest off of her. Suddenly, gunshots go off in the car and LaRoche has a gun in his hand.

The attendant had tried to pick the lock on the cuffs and reached for the gun. LaRoche shot in self defense. Cho and Rigsby find him dead in his home. Along with a dead body, they find a picture of James with Hightower. Jane goes to his hotel which he sometimes lives in. Hightower is there.
