Heller DID NOT TRICK US! GUYS stop! Why would he bother. Why would he put a bad reputation on his show before it's been aired ( he is waiting till after lol). There is no fake episode. IT'S REAL! NO FLASHBACKS NO NOTHING. 
Funny thing is a few of us here have seen it, but wait until the vast majority see it. I see people still talking about the barn. lol. Trying to figure it all out ha ha ha. Tragic.
This is really sad. AND WAIT FOR THE INTERVIEW TO COME OUT SO HE CAN EXPLAIN IT ALL TO US.......hmmmmm......
Anyway I'm not watching it all again. I'm not american but I wouldn't put up the ratings either. I'll watch the first few minutes and if it's the same episode I am tuning out.

I'll see you on the other side!

In this article on wikipedia, we can see that many famous series like lost, sex and the city and 24 hours have used this "trick", which envolves shoot different ends. So it's possible that the one that leaked be one as well.

I don't know, but judging from what happened in here the past days, I sense a lot of drama coming in tonight.

Just not from the actual Red John episode.

Might be a first, that the drama about a Mentalist episode is all happening on the Internet and not on TV.
