The Domino effect.
Jane's master con is close to an end. He took down the BA, closed down Cbi, and killed the pawn Macalister. Got a nice new job with the fbi and now has the resources to take down his arch nemesis.

Peoples minds are racing after this latest episode and rightfully so. The awkwardness between Jane, Gvp, and Rigsby was clear to see. Ive heard people say jane is always like this but thats not true. Jane often joked and talked to Rigsby and Van Pelt in each episode.
Jane has hardly spoken to them starting in the early stages of season 6.

Jane talked to Lisbon about Gvp and Rigsby. When Jane asked how those two were Lisbon and him shared a look like they knew something else. Lisbon on her couch seemed like she was thinking about their shadiness as well. Facial expressions matter! Check out Gvp's face when Jane first enters the fbi room right before he says hi, she sees him out of the corner of her eye and makes a very cocky face. Check it out, its plain to see.

I love how Jane tells the team to use their instincts and the first thing that comes to their mind. He said the SAME thing to Lisbon in the Panzer serial killer case. Funny because Haibach was in that episode too and was innocent! Jane is leading everyone one way because he wants the culprit for himself. Just like the Panzer episode.
The whole shootout in Gvp and Rigsby's house was strange. It may be a STRETCH but it seemed staged a bit. The shooter with a wide open shot missed Rigsby by a mile and shot the baby bag!?
Gvp who is an excellent shot only caught the shooter safely on the shoulder. I may be wrong but its something to think about.

The promo for next week could be very deceiving. Haibach could be questioned for 5 minutes for all we know , but honestly he cant be behind this. He is the first one that came to all our minds when this list came into existence, from GVP's computer like always! The easy guess suspect is never the right one, especially in a show like this.
And that brings me to the list, why all the scrub people on the list that we never heard of? Seems like those other names are just to throw the team off and the real people in danger are Jane and the stars of the show.

Anyone else sense Visualize making an appearance soon? I sure as hell do.
Styles and Haffner died off camera which means they did not die at all in tv land.

My top suspects: GVP, Rigsby, Kristina Freye, Cbi Ron.

Something is really weird with the way Patrick treats Rigsby and Van pelt,he didn't see them for 2 years and they were nearly killed yet he doesn't even shake their hands.............. But why?? What could Rigsby and VP have done that would make him so hostile towards them? Another interesting point mentioned on here was Lisbon not wanting to go drink and catch up with Cho and Rigsby........... very interesting indeed. Who knew where grace was staying that night? I doubt it was from a traced cell....... but what does lisbon want with VP if she does kidnap her? Too many questions,too little answers.

Loved watching this ... Amazing montage of Jane & Red John from the start ... going back through the show that I love so much ... what an amazing ride

I learned one thing watching this video besides I love The Mentalist ...

Patrick Jane is a baaaaddd mother f.......r

Couple other things to note: Jane knows how to handle a gun extremely well, Abbott broke Jane's tea cup (anyone else feel like he's going down for that?) & the creepiest moment in the entire show is at 10:37

Awesome

There's something fishy going on here

Three important people get murdered and they chose to focus on butterfly wands, transformers & tunnels from Mexico ... people just keep dying and they are nonchalantly going about their cop business ... "Cho you want to go get a drink!?" "Uhhh yeah let's go Rigs!"

Nothing was explained from previous seasons, nothing makes sense, soooo many loose ends and the drama goes on hiatus for months ...

Patrick is saying strange things ...

To the drug lord chick - "I never tell anyone who I really am"
The night Lisbon's "date" gets murdered - "Tonight I plan on painting Houston red"
To Wayne and Grace - "Hey Wayne & Grace ... someone tried to kill you and your family? Cool, what's up ... good to ... anyway who's hungry!?"

They finally said even just the smallest line about Red John and deliberately showed the word "Rose" from the motel name ...

Somebody tell me why anyone would care about some random inconsequential character that we know little about killing people. Even if the Blake association is still active ... who's in it? People we don't know? People we don't care about? What a finally ... inconsequential characters and unknown groups that have zero build up and no surprise are trying to kill cops ... The grand finally to 6 seasons! makes no sense ...

I'm not saying Jane is guilty of crazy things, I just picked him cause he is the show ...

All I really know for sure is that there is something strange going on and it is not leading up to something boring that we can predict like ... Hibach is trying to kill everyone! or ... The Blake association is still kicking it. It's going to hit us quickly without warning and leave us hanging without a clue ...

Just watched the latest episode,needless to say it was good...............the aura of mystery is needed badly in the mentalist,without that aura this show is mediocre. Anyways i took a screenshot of the dude who shot at Rigsby and his cute baby................. and compared his eyes with that of Haffner,Stiles and the evil twin of Kirkland. Let me know in the comments what you think.

I accuse Patrick Jane of tampering with Sophie Millers psychological profile of Jay Roth. I believe it is actually the psychological profile of Patrick Jane we are listening to.

Remember Jane arrived at Sophie Millers home way before the police did and discovered the digital recorder. The missing patient file of Jay Roth could have been stolen, but it is also possible that it never existed because there was no Jay Roth.

The reason for my suspicion can be found in the scene where Sophie Millers diagnostic is being read out loud.

Here is a youtube clip of that scene:

At arround 1:02 after Kirkland the camera focuses on Janes face. The voice over is saying "though I cannot point to identifiable clinical behaviors that indicate this." Look at his left eye (on the right side from our perspective) there are 3 nervous twitches.
