Sunday spoilers; press unlikely if you must, b....no one says you had to read this. I omitted a few explanations, but I kept in the most important explanations
McAllister appears in church pretending to be Red John. Patrick shoots him. McAllister asks for mercy. Then the strangest thing happens. Patrick tells him he's done and he wants to be left alone.
Patrick goes to his family's burial site. McAllister taunts Patrick. Then Patrick chases after him. It ends with McAllister revealing he's not Red John. He says Bertram, who is supposedly Red John wants to meet with Patrick, with no one else around, in a park.
FBI agents try to disrupt the meeting, but the former CBI team have Patrick's back. Patrick takes Teresa's gun as a prop. He talks to Bertram. He says he's done. He gives Bertram the gun and tells him to leave him alone or kill him because he's tired of this game. Patrick gets up and walks away.
After a minute or so, "Hi." Brett Partridge appears. They exchange dialogue. Red John reaches out to him and tells him how we was a step ahead all along. It turns out he bugged Teresa and that's why he spared her. All of Red John's tricks were heavily reliant of surveillance technology and the compliance of disciples. It was no surprise to hear Haffner had the biggest role as a Red John disciple, while Bret Stiles supplied him with all the followers he needed. When he's done Patrick laughs at the floor. Patrick Jane, unleashes the details of his mammoth plan which began with figuring out Red John was Brett Partridge using Lorelei Martins and Rosalynd Harker.
He knew all along Lisbon would be bugged, and fed her the list, which was actually a list of people Patrick thought were disciples of Red John. Patrick explains how wrong he was to think this. Kirkland, Smith, McAllister and Bertram were all trying to catch him, they were in Tyger Tyger as spies, with the exception of Kirkland. When Patrick blew up his house, they all became part of Patrick's double con on Red John. There are flashbacks to what happened in Patrick's house. For much of the season 5 and season 6, Patrick only fed Lisbon what he wanted Red John to think. Even at Patrick's house the gunshot and explosion misinformed Red John because Lisbon's phone is outside in Patrick's car. They happened, but no one dies. Haffner and Stiles were revealed to be alive and in the custody of Bob Kirkland. And Patrick's biggest blow to Red John is when he says the flash drive left by Bertram, it contained the names of every person in the Blake Association .
Red John begins to run. Patrick chases. When he's cornered Red John asks if Patrick remembers him. Patrick says yes. There's a flashback to the carnival. Patrick tackles him at the exact time the flashback starts. As the flashback finishes, the and the boy with the pigeons fades, red John's facial similarities are highlighted. Patrick is strangling him, and you can see he's savouring the moment. The episode ends with FBI breaking into Patrick's attic and arresting Patrick. While he's being transported, an agent says Bob Kirkland sends his regards, and Patrick is released out into the sunshine. Some sad but triumphant music plays more than once. It's nostalgic of earlier seasons. Closure at last.
