I'm just connecting other theories, so will skip most of the math. Brett Stiles is more powerful than RJ, is not RJ, but is connnected to RJ. My guess would be he is RJ's father. And knows it. That leaves the question did RJ learn from him or is he merely sadly using power to protect his homicidal son? The former seems too predictable. Mr. Stiles is using Haffner, and unknown others, to protect his son. BP. So BP is either not dead after all or Stiles kiiled his own son him-self.
Bertram, McAllister, and Smith are in cahoots, But on something else. Classic shady California land-deals. Fodder for another season.
