Keck's Exclusives: "Homeland" Hottie Back to "The Mentalist"
Jan 6, 2012
by William Keck


With "Homeland" on hiatus after completing its hugely successful first season, star Morena Baccarin is free to return to her previous gig. No, she's not hopping back on the V spaceship, but rather picking up her derailed relationship with "The Mentalist's" Simon Baker.



In an episode shooting now to air later this winter, Morena reprises her role as professional matchmaker/con artist Erica Flynn. When last we saw Erica, Simon's Patrick Jane had put her behind bars. Now she's back on the loose!

While her character may have revenge on her mind, Morena only has love for Simon, who, she says, "actually twinkles."
