Hey gang!  This is not a theory.  I was just hoping we could pull our collective insights to answer a question I have.

In episode 2 of this season, while Patrick and Lisbon are talking in the hospital, a doctor walks by. She knocks and then says the following:

Doctor: "Hello? Uh... Mrs. Lee?  Carmen Lee?"
Lisbon: "Sorry.  Wrong room I guess..."
Doctor: "Sorry."  (The doctor exits).

That scene always bugged me.  I can't shake the feeling that it was a clue of some kind and that it's going to be relevant later on.  Sure it's realistic that a doctor might have the wrong room, but as a writing stand point, why include that banal moment?  There must be more to it.  With the Mentalist, there always is.

Please comment below if you have a thought about this scene.  I really have no idea what it's importance might be, I just have a hunch it will be somehow!
