Lorelei read a list to Lisbon.
Lisbon freaked out and jane acted like he hardly cared.
Jane when asked what to do , said he was "thinking about trains " and "pecan pie" on another occasion.
Jane never tells Lisbon dangerous info.

Lisbon tells van pelt.
Van pelt answers the phone "hey boss" then acts weird so Rigsby thinks she is having an affair . Jealous much?
Van pelt tells Rigsby then Rigsby tells cho.
The gps trackers are secretly put on each suspect without their knowledge.
Lisbon gets a call.
Lisbon is taken and "marked"

***How is Red John find out ?
The answer can be 2 things:
1. Red john is magic and psychic.
2. SOMEONE ON THE TEAM IS RED JOHN OR A MOLE.

It is pretty simple really .
If you re-watch "the desert rose" you will notice how little patrick jane cares that red john guesses the list.
The same apathy can be found when the fbi shuts down cbi. Jane hardly cares at all.

Do you see the con?
Fast forward to now . Jane is in the fbi with lisbon and cho.

Do you see the con?
This is Jane 101.

Like many, I was pretty disappointed with the "ending" (or would be disappointed should it turn out to be the definitive ending - on this like most I live more in hope than in expectation) but what I would like to say is simply this: episode 8 has been labeled unconvincing by many,as has indeed much of the content of the series, but I would like to evoke the one moment of this series which has actually been convincing, believable and which,at the time, seemed not a trick but to be true.This moment came in the showdown at Jane's house, when McAllister revealed his tattoo. On seeing this, Jane grinned and was sure he had his man. Then came the biggest, most significant and convinving moment of the series. McAllister looks at Jane with fear in his eyes and says "You've got it wrong, Patrick. I'm not Red John".
I didn't and still don't believe this to have been a trick by McAllister. This was the most genuine and powerful moment of the series.

McAllister was just another Timothy Carter.  Stiles and Haffner are still alive.   either Stiles is Red John and Haffner is his right hand or Haffner is Red John and Stiles is his mentor      does anyone really believe McAllister survived the blast and Stiles and Haffner (who are way more interesting characters) just died without a second mention      no fuckin way       the big twist will be Stiles and Haffner are still alive     it's also possible in the world of the Mentalist that Partridge or a Kirkland Twin are still in the race for whoisredjohn?  just sayin it's possible     what's not possible is Bruno Heller getting all pissed at CBS and deciding to sabotage the entire show and then moving on to his new tv show. . . . a show set in Gotham but without Batman....ya can't wait       since the season isn't over I have to operate under the assumption that McAllister isn't Red John(just like Carter)  and that this is a season long con by Heller &Co. to give us the rightfull RJ end story that everbody wants    the show is Red John without him there is no show        and when they do reveal the real RJ we will see him kill and we the audience will be shown all the answers in flashbacks    key moments in the RJ story    like actually seeing the death of Jane's family with Stiles or Haffner doing the killing   or a scene that shows what he did to Christine Frye   show me in flashback Red John painting a smiley face and   you can't just tell us who Red John is you have to show us who RJ is       you just can't have some retard sheriff from one random episode just show up do a bad impression of the voice and claim to be a real psychic     Jane has always been one step ahead of the audience                  

I just want to know how McAllister started the Blake Association.
