I have read this theory of HII (http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/18371) and I love the idea of two RJ. RJ#1 the mastermind and RJ#2 the actual murderer, which would mean that Jane did get his revenge, partially!

It also occurred to me that if Red John is such a great mind and master hypnosis he could have hypnotised the fear of pigeons and heights out of himself (by teaching one of his followers), right? Which he obviously didn't.. Now what if RJ#1 left that piece of information (regarding the fears) with the psychologist intentionally and hypnotised a crazy irrational fear of pigeons into Red John #2 counting on Jane to use that information? That could actually make sense and fit with the mastermind character! Could this be possible? With Lazarus being RJ#1?

Another point that actually bugs me is that the writers and actors crew keeps on ensuring us that the RJ arc is over, i find that to be weird! They could say, "well watch and see" but they choose to kill any little piece of hope left, would it be to cause an even bigger BOOM in our minds when the arc picks up again? I guess we just have to wait and see - read you in 16 days ;)

SPOILER: How season 7 ends, no matter what bullshit Heller tries to pull.

After Copper Bullet, Jane uses the favors he did Abbot to convince him to cut his leash from the hands of the FBI and go on protected from indictment for his murder, allowing him to quit with Teresa as a free man.

'Lazarus' is brushed off as a very subpar villain of Thomas Mcallister-esque proportions, the likes of whom even James Panzer outshines, and Jane and Lisbon get married as we all know is inevitable in White Orchids.

They have a house, they have a baby. Jane quickly realizes he needs a source of income if he is going to support his new family, so he takes up the psychic business again. It is, after all, what he is best at. Some years later, many people know Jane is the man who killed the famous serial killer Red John, so he speaks his mind on a talk show on what he felt about Red John, maybe changing a few details here and there. What an evil, sexually perverted, squalid egomaniac of a sociopath with pathetic delusions of grandeur he is. Who cares, he's dead right? It's been a few years, he killed him.

When that's done, he calls his wife to ask how she and the baby are doing, but gets no response.

"Must have a poker game." Patrick laughs to himself, assuming also the baby is being babysat by Grigsby before heading home.

He walks inside, closes the door behind him, wheels the children's training bike gifted by Grigsby aside, then steps up the stairs with a stupid smile on his face.

You can feel the dread when Patrick realizes there is another note on the door.

On the letter reads: "This is what happens when you fuck with me, Bruno."

The door opens to blotches of red on the wall, quickly bringing into focus the eyes of hell incarnate, that distinct pattern of blood trails that instantly shatters Patrick's very sanity.

FIN.

Cue reboot of the series on a different network, with writers who are actually competent enough to bring Red John the closure it deserves, with the kind of mastermind it deserves, and final confrontation it deserves.

I can not think things are too calm in 7th season. Too calm for a show like this. I think we will have great final episodes, with many surprises.

What a bunch of fuckin complete nonsense. The only theory I have left is that Stiles shows up in the series finale and explains everything . Who agrees? Maybe this Lazarus is Red John 2.0 and Stiles is the mastermind behind everything......................I said after the season 4 finale I thought RJ was Patrick Jane that would be the only thing that would shock me ....... Why have a season 7 at all? What's the point? I don't even know what to say anymore......I don't care ..........hey Jisbons hope you are happy with this awkward shit. It's like watching a brother and sister kissing ........this Jisbon trainwreck better be a long con

It's obvious that Lisbon is Jane's bait, even the foreshadowing in the last ep (Little yellow house) made that clear. There's going to be a tragedy at the end of the season with Lisbon, but Jane's gotta do what he has to do to lure RJ(or Stiles) out.
