This isn’t “completely originally” my story, but it is based on of my theories so I thought I’d add to it. I should say IT’S NOT EVEN A THEORY. It’s a fan fiction* Feel free to link if you like. :D The events in "Red John”: Fan Fiction.
First of all. We return to Patrick in church. Thomas McAllister walks down the aisle and proclaims victory. Patrick swiftly pulls out a gun and shoots McAllister in his side. McAllister asks for mercy, and after some dialogue, Patrick surprisingly spares him. Patrick warns him to leave him alone. He reiterates he’s done.
Patrick goes to the graveyard where his wife and daughter are buried. McAllister shows up, and a chase ensues. It ends with McAllister crashing through the glass of someone's home. Patrick catches up and McAllister says "Wait. I'm not Red John, Patrick. But he would like to meet you." When the meeting is arranged, Patrick goes and tells Teresa. According to Bloodyfingers' theory, Teresa Lisbon is bugged. So Red John hears Patrick’s plans to kill him at the meeting. Red John sends someone else.
But also according to Bloodyfingers' theory, Patrick has known that Red John is Brett Partridge since season 5 episode 8, since Lorelei Martins told Patrick he had met Red John. He deduced it from Rosalynd Harker's description. And Patrick has been pulling his greatest ever trick for a whole season. (Full details of this Huge trick using the List: Theory 11340)
Question: What has Patrick achieved in not catching Partridge, and making this list of people he suspected, to be involved with Red John?
________________________________________________
The middle of the episode: Cue Flashbacks: THE WHOLE EPISODE IS LIKE FLASHBACKS!
Robert Kirkland can be seen talking to Virgil Minelli. He is persuading Minelli to retire so Gale Bertram, a spy in Tyger Tyger, could be more useful as CBI Director. Minelli accepts as they both agree its necessary to catch Red John- California's notorious serial killer.
Bertram, McAllister and Smith are talking in an office. It turns out they are in Tyger Tyger as undercover agents. Each and every one of them. They are involved in the clean-up of California law enforcement.
The arrest of Michael Kirkland is shown on-screen, with further flashbacks showing him calling her "Agent Lisbawn" and killing Jason Lennon. It concludes with him finally being shot and framed as the murder of "Bob Kirkland." Robert Kirkland, now a free man and Patrick Jane have a conversation about Tyger Tyger. Robert Kirkland discloses to Patrick that Smith, Bertram and McAllister all work for him. (This explains how Patrick knew about “Tyger Tyger” when he was talking to Smith.) Patrick tells Kirkland the details of the plan he will announce to the 3 on the night. Kirkland gets a SWAT suit ready at Bertram’s residence in Citrus Heights. Then he makes preparations to call all SWAT Divisions into Bertram’s house, using his Homeland ID’s. Kirkland’s incredulous voice on phone “Do I sound dead to you?” Bertram calls Kirkland; Kirkland runs Bertram through his role in Patrick’s plan.
Jane's House
Jane got a military-grade bomb from the company he helped in episode 2 of season 6. Teresa Lisbon's phone is left in his car, after he steals it from her, ready for the meeting of the suspects.
Inside the house, Jane takes his shotgun and he points it at Ray Haffner who is sporting a vertical 3 dot tattoo. Haffner yells "No wait!" "BOOM!" Patrick fires, aiming above him. The bullet misses as intended. There's a shot of Lisbon's phone, and Partridge overhearing what's happened. First Patrick says to Reede "You shot Michael, right?" When Reede confirms this, then Patrick tells the entire plan to the 3 undercover agents, while holding Stiles and Haffner under duress. While McAllister is to report back to Red John, after kidnapping Stiles and Haffner, Reede Smith and Gale Bertram will become fugitives.
McAllister is in a larger vehicle, and he sees Lisbon speeding past. He phones Patrick, he says "She's almost there. Good luck."
"BOOM!" There's a shot of Partridge overhearing the blast. He says "Wow I'm good." Partridge has no idea these 3 followers are actually working against him.
Patrick blows up his house. Patrick is sedated. Gale Bertram and Reede immerse themselves into their roles as fugitives. They realise it is truly necessary to portray themselves as vicious Tyger Tyger members so Red John does not suspect Patrick's powerplay.
While Bertram assumes his new identity and Reede is on the run, McAllister takes Stiles and Haffner to the same place Robert Kirkland is being kept. Then McAllister returns to Red John, claiming he survived a bomb blast, but Haffner and Stiles are dead. Partridge is too distracted by the loss of these precious men to wonder how the others survived.GALE BERTRAM “ATTEMPTS” TO KILL PATRICK JANEIf Bertram was evil and wanted to kill Patrick, he could have sent Oscar Cordeiro. However Bertram is playing a role. He stands in front of Patrick with a knife waiting for Teresa to arrive, to pull it back. Then he leaves, looking uncomfortable. Teresa freaks out when Patrick says he’s got the tattoo. Partridge hears Bertram tried to kill Patrick, so he won’t suspect Patrick is conning him.
While Bertram is playing "fugitive", he leaves a flash drive for the CBI to find. It contains the names of every California agent in the "Blake Association."
Patrick announces to the media that Gale Bertram is Red John, once Smith is safely surrendered. Partridge thinks he's won. He hears Patrick say to Lisbon, "I'm letting go." He tells McAllister to return to Patrick, as Patrick will believe he is Red John, because he suspected Bertram and Reede.GALE BERTRAM VS BARTENDER Gale Bertram can be seen in a bar with a barman. Gale asks for ice in his scotch. The Bartender shovels it laterally, suggesting there is a sheath of glass over the ice. Whether they know each other is unclear. When the barman lazily points out he looks like the guy on TV, Bertram smashes the bottle on the Barman’s head. At that point, Bertram DOES NOT SHOVE GLASS INTO HIS NECK. Bertram actually breaks the glass so that the Barman’s head is bathed in ice. As Bertram leaves, he glances to see if the Barman is ok. Unfortunately the Barman dies, as noted by Rigsby.Gale proceeds to his house, where Kirkland has left a SWAT outfit for him. While Gale escapes, Patrick sees Teresa and takes this opportunity to lazily call out “He’s one of them.” It had no effect… However since Teresa hears it, Partridge hears too, and thinks Patrick truly believes RJ is Bertram.

Answer: Patrick has completely exposed Red John's "Blake Association" and taken control of Red John's main Visualize link. Noone is going to avenge Red John.
*RETURN TO PRESENT ACTION*
Patrick makes sure CBI don’t follow him past a certain point, but he asks them to come until he is assured he is safe. This is to make sure Brett Partridge, has no excuse to resist coming to witness Patrick murdering another Red John imposter. The meeting is in a beautiful park. Patrick sees the imposter and tells the team it’s clear. Patrick takes his final tentative steps towards the person Partridge has laid out for Patrick. Patrick keeps his eyes peeled near the site, to see where Partridge's vantage point could be. Patrick and the imposter begin to speak. The dialogue is vague. Patrick talks unusually calmly. Suddenly, Patrick stands up. He pulls out his gun and shockingly throws it to the floor. He says “I’m done with you.” And he walks away slowly, his eyes steeled.
“WAIT.” Patrick turns slowly. It wasn’t the imposter’s voice…
PATRICK’S EYES FIX ON PARTRIDGE, WHO WAS CLEVERLY HIDDEN, CLOSE ENOUGH TO GET A GOOD VIEW OF THE ACTION! PATRICK BOLTS AFTER HIM!
Partridge’s face contorts into one of confusion and urgency. He runs. Due to the overload of epicness in the final Red John showdown dialogue and reveals, I could not write what happened next.
Excitement for Sunday cannot be put in words!!!
