Has anyone ever wondered who the heck Aunt Yolanda is? 

Nothing in writing is random -- things said by characters are there for a reason.  And Grace told of her Aunt Yolanda being a psychic -- so WHY did she mention this?  What is the significance, I have to wonder?  

Aunt Yolanda must be someone on the show, it's been planted in our heads.

If a character we know turns out to really be Yolanda, we'll go "Oh, yeah -- Grace said that back in Season One..."  and we'll be surprised because we've not focused on that clue -- cause the best clues are always the ones that are subtle and easily taken for granted so that we overlook them -- UNLIKE THE PIGEONS

So, who could Grace's Aunt Yolanda be?  Kristina Frye perhaps?  

But Yolanda is a color name, means purple or violet

Episode 8 = Kim fischer's dream
Man in front of slide = Brett Partridge
Brett Partridge= Red John
Roger in My Blue Heaven= Bret Stiles
Jane and Partridge= Twins = True origin of Tyger Tyger poem
Father= Stiles

Episode one. When Partridge says "I'm stoked to finally see one in the flesh" he'd already seen many smiley faces so he was saying that he was very excited to finally see Patrick, his twin.

Season one finale. Partridge was in the carnival where he met Michael Kirkland. Partridge went looking for Jane but he had already left. He asked Alex Jane where Patrick went. Alex tells him that Patrick left after conning a dying girl. In season one finale, Partridge decides to meet Jane. He kills one of two twins to get Jane's attention. And during the case, Jane meets the dying girl he conned. Rosalynd Harker.

One season later, the famous Tyger Tyger poem is birthed in the finale. The poem is a comparison of the Lamb and the Tyger who are of the same creator. In the series, Bret Stiles is the head of his own cult. He is likened to a God. He knows more than Jane and John because he knows why they were separated. The name Red John was deliberate. It directly mirrors the name Patrick Jane, which translates to Pink Jane.

One season later, Bruno Heller says we would see a glimpse of the real Red John in the finale. In the park we see Brett Partridge walking a dog from the back, wearing the same fishing hat he wears in season 6.

One season later, Jane meets Lorelei Martins, who was separated from her sister at a very young age.

One season later, Jane finds out Red John has a weakness. Jane is wondering why Jason Lennon was killed. So he divulges his list to Lisbon in Red John's rules. Bruno Heller tricks the audience by making it look like Jane never told Lisbon a name. If you rematch the episode, you will see him say Bertram is on the list but then he gets interrupted by the weekly murder mystery. It's rational to conclude he was going to tell her all of the names. Sean Barlow does a psychic reading on Lisbon. There are no such things as psychics. Lisbon is bugged. When Red John feeds back the list on the same night to Jane, Jane reviews the CD. Everyone's name is said in full including Raymond Haffner. However "Bob Kirkland" is not said in full, signalling Partridge doesn't know him.

One season later, We see a woman in Bret Stiles' ceremony who looks like the woman feeding pigeons. She was wearing make up to resemble Partridge. Jane ignores her. No picture, so sorry. Jane is kidnapped by Bob Kirkland.

One episode later, Kirkland arrives at Jane's house and throws in a concussion bomb at Haffner and Stiles. Jane is closest to them, so he gets hit too. He wakes up later than everyone else. You can hear Bob Kirkland talk to a "Tom" on the phone in season 5. This was the only occasion Bob said a person's name when he was on the phone. Bob Kirkland works with Thomas McAllister (He is "Tom"). Bob Kirkland works with Gale Bertram in season 5. Reede Smith has a trace in his phone which Oscar Cordero uses in Great Red Dragon, to tell Bertram that Reede handed himself in. Reede was in the meeting of 3 suspects. They were all tasked by Bob Kirkland to find out what Jane knew. Reede also works for Bob Kirkland, but he talks like a full-blown Tyger member because of the bug in his phone. Reede Smith shot Michael Kirkland.

After the concussion bomb blows, McAllister helps Kirkland unload the surrogate bodies and the other 2 members take their positions. Bob Kirkland takes the gun from Jane's jacket and puts it on his hand to get fingerprints. Once everyone is cleared out, Thomas McAllister throws in the explosive. The bomb injured Tom and there is a wound out of his side. Kirkland has already driven off. Tom is alone. He cannot seek medical attention as he is supposed to be dead. He dies in a quiet park. McAllister phones Kirkland but there is nothing Kirkland can do except plant Jane's gun at McAllister's body.

Note: There's many ways McAllister could have died in the park. It probably happened a different way, but it definitely involved Kirkland.

Kirkland thinks he's won. He believes he has tricked Jane into thinking McAllister is Red John and he has framed Jane for his murder. Kirkland is not implicated at all for his crimes. He sends Stiles to Jane. During the torture, he reveals only that he is Jane's father. Kirkland gives him to Jane as consolation.

Jane is a smart guy. He lured Bob Kirkland to kidnap Haffner and Stiles. Bob Kirkland kills Ray Haffner and tortures him. He has fooled Bob Kirkland into thinking Bob has kidnapped the real Red John. Kirkland tortures Stiles.

Jane pretends he thinks Bertram is Red John. Then he "lets go," when he loses his job at CBI.

......

Hopefully season 6 finale is a flashback... 2 years ago...Partridge sniffs victory and confronts Jane in the church. And the ultimate battle of wits ensues as they each reveal how they pulled off their respective tricks, they reveal their bluffs and Partridge finally reveals their origin.

This is fan-fiction beyond Jane's house, but I just thought there haven't been many actual theories posted in a while.




And the McAllister episode is Kim Fischer's dream, and something really interesting is revealed about her in the Jane/Partridge showdown.

Now, there are still possibilities that RJ is still out there.

One could be that the one who murdered Jane's family (McAllistar) and the actual RJ are 2 different people (maybe BOTH being part of Blake).

Another one (what I think) is that the episodes that are currently running are indeed 2 years after RJ's death - the real RJ. So what we have seen in the ''Red John'' episode may have been sort of a dream that Jane had caused by the explosion at his house. So later on this season, we might see something that points to that or a full flashback of the REAL encounter.

I've seen a few posts about the colors in the names of the episodes. I was going to comment on a recent post, but I've decided to post my thoughts in a new one.

All of the episodes in the Red John Saga (which cannot be over) contained the word RED, or a synonym or variation thereof. If this is a "New Jane" and a "New Life", then we can presume that there is a new story beginning. When "My Blue Heaven" aired, I figured that the episode titles would contain BLUE, or bluish variation... But they do not.

We can then suppose that, as we have seen BLUE and GREEN, and next WHITE, that there is a trend that the colors in the episode names will change every week... that is, until we get back to RED!!!

We have already seen:
BLUE
GREEN

We will soon see:
WHITE

If we are talking about basic colors, then we should expect to see:
YELLOW
PURPLE
BLACK
ORANGE

It will cycle back to:
RED

That is 8 colors... All of the colors in a box of Crayola Crayons.

Episode 16 WILL be RED!!!!

Red john wayne rigsby where do i start.
I am calling on people who think red john is alive .
Trolls need not to apply.
Watch the episode when kristina frye is taken from her home.
Jane said she was "lured" out which means it had to be a friendly face.
Listen to what lisbon says to rigsby about how they will protect frye and listen to rigsbys response .

I really want people to watch this ep
I have plenty of clues like this but lets start here and start a good discussion
