THE THEORIES

The Domino effect.
Jane's master con is close to an end. He took down the BA, closed down Cbi, and killed the pawn Macalister. Got a nice new job with the fbi and now has the resources to take down his arch nemesis.

Peoples minds are racing after this latest episode and rightfully so. The awkwardness between Jane, Gvp, and Rigsby was clear to see. Ive heard people say jane is always like this but thats not true. Jane often joked and talked to Rigsby and Van Pelt in each episode.
Jane has hardly spoken to them starting in the early stages of season 6.

Jane talked to Lisbon about Gvp and Rigsby. When Jane asked how those two were Lisbon and him shared a look like they knew something else. Lisbon on her couch seemed like she was thinking about their shadiness as well. Facial expressions matter! Check out Gvp's face when Jane first enters the fbi room right before he says hi, she sees him out of the corner of her eye and makes a very cocky face. Check it out, its plain to see.

I love how Jane tells the team to use their instincts and the first thing that comes to their mind. He said the SAME thing to Lisbon in the Panzer serial killer case. Funny because Haibach was in that episode too and was innocent! Jane is leading everyone one way because he wants the culprit for himself. Just like the Panzer episode.
The whole shootout in Gvp and Rigsby's house was strange. It may be a STRETCH but it seemed staged a bit. The shooter with a wide open shot missed Rigsby by a mile and shot the baby bag!?
Gvp who is an excellent shot only caught the shooter safely on the shoulder. I may be wrong but its something to think about.

The promo for next week could be very deceiving. Haibach could be questioned for 5 minutes for all we know , but honestly he cant be behind this. He is the first one that came to all our minds when this list came into existence, from GVP's computer like always! The easy guess suspect is never the right one, especially in a show like this.
And that brings me to the list, why all the scrub people on the list that we never heard of? Seems like those other names are just to throw the team off and the real people in danger are Jane and the stars of the show.

Anyone else sense Visualize making an appearance soon? I sure as hell do.
Styles and Haffner died off camera which means they did not die at all in tv land.

My top suspects: GVP, Rigsby, Kristina Freye, Cbi Ron.

Just watched the latest episode,needless to say it was good...............the aura of mystery is needed badly in the mentalist,without that aura this show is mediocre. Anyways i took a screenshot of the dude who shot at Rigsby and his cute baby................. and compared his eyes with that of Haffner,Stiles and the evil twin of Kirkland. Let me know in the comments what you think.

RJ is dead. There won't be any other spin on that...
The Blake Association is not dead. RJ, even dead, has followers. The more unexpected and lethal of them has to be Van Pelt.

We know Van Pelt's sister committed suicide. Did she really? Or was it a cover from young Grace starting a killing spree?

Plus, Van Pelt's parent have never be seen on screen... Can his father be McAllister?

Spoilers and Theories a Midnight Dreary.

Episode 14 was intense from start to finish.
Heibach is not guilty of this crime.
It even seems silly that Fbi agents think that this pedofile has the means to hire hit men and tap phone lines. And even if it was him, Lisbon or Jane would of been the first targets.

Why is Van pelt alive? The others on the list were killed. What, they want a ransom for her? The person who "took" her had a very small slender body and almost looked like Lisbon to me. Just being honest..
Why back at grace and waynes house did the shooter not see grace?
The downstairs was covered i thought ? And grace walked right by the shooter i would assume.
Seems like the shooter was missing on purpose, he had a clear shot of wayne and missed . But i may be overthinking that aspect.

Why did Lisbon not go have a beer ? The team has not done that in years!
Jane has been ice cold to Rigs and Van pelt all season long. They have literally not had much convo all season, and Jane use to be friends with both of them. But jane found out something about them that changed his mind.

I have a feeling Visualize or red john is behind all of this. You cant ignore the past without it popping back up in your face . Just like the gnostic texts did or dead sea scrolls.
Truth is we have no idea what happened back at janes house. It was theatre, and what we think to be true is not, and that the opposite is true. No troll can fight me on that.

Just found out that season 6 will have 22 episodes!!!!
You think they are purposively not releasing the episode names because they will have "red" in them?
Lets try and guess the episode titles..
"REDemption" or "Little Red Riding Hood"
Or "REDundant" ;)

Besides the countless clues, i really FEEL that red john will come back. Only that his/her name will not be red john.

Anybody else wanna see GVP and agent Fischer meet? I think they both are very weird and similar in many ways.
They both can talk about their traumatic experiences when they were young.
I am pretty sure jane was a big reason why GVPS aunt committed suicide. She was seen in the epsidoe when Grace had that crazy bf who came in cbi and beat up Rigsby

Kim Fischer was hired by someone other than the FBI to spy on patrick. We know this to be almost fact.

Wiley is more than just a computer nerd who seems helpful, but i am not sure about him yet.

Its HILARIOUS that Visualize, Styles, or Haffner have not been mentioned yet. They will eventually...
Also, Styles and or Haffner are alive without a doubt in my mind...

Important highly paid actors as those two could not of died off camera. Shows NEVER kill important characters off camera. I am sure it has happened in the past but it is very very RARE.
One of them may be dead most likely Haffner from the gunshot but no way Styles died for no reason off camera . There is hope!
