I think this is all part of Jane's master plan.  Red John knew Jane was making a list.  Red John wasn't trying to predict Jane's final 7 he was giving him 7 distractions knowing Jane would have to look at those 7    Jane just goes with his picks knowing RJ gave him those 7 names for a reason  7 possible clues    thinks that one of the 7 could possibly be another Timothy Carter  anything to get one step closer to Red John       tells Lisbon cause he knows she will tell the team but only the team so Jane can weed out the RJ mole(VanPelt/Rigsby) there's a reason why they aren't around after RJ's "death"     Jane knew McAllister wasn't Red John that's why he said he was disappointed and why he didn't care about McAllister's bullshit explanations   ( after the gutshot do you think McAllister acted like Red John or acted like someone who was made to play Red John? . . .just like Timothy Carter )                                      Jane had to kill McAllister to make Red John think that he bought that McAllister was Red John.    getting Red John to lower his guard      geting the corrupt CBI shut down  no more RJ mole's or BA spies   joins the FBI    getting all of their power and resources for when he goes after the real Red John           the season isn't over yet
