I've always had a theory that Red John could be a sub cult group within Visulize They could still pull this off at the end of the season Have Stiles show up at the end and explain how he started it and it got out of control This would explain McAllister as RJ and leave the series open for another season or to be picked up by TNT or whoever. The best part about The Mentalist is Jane is always one step ahead of the audience and when he reveals his plan or how he set his trap you are blown away and entertained -------mark my words something is up with Pike either he is a RJ associate or he gets killed ------and does anyone really buy McAllister as Red John ? I think if Red John has the power to hypnotize Christina Frye than he could do the same to Carter and McAllister
