Great episode and final scene the other night. I know all the RK accusers will think it proves it's their guy but I'm not so sure! I did think when he showed up his story line was going to take a different direction altogether so I was surprised he killed the guy. However Lennon worked for RJ (he brought LMs sister to him) so for RK to be RJ you wold have had to take the plastic surgery route away the whole do you recognized me speech. That's fun and all but your gonna tell me that between the time RJ and Lennon worked together, a few years ago, this guy got plastic surgery and still rose to the level of homeland security position??? If Lennon knew him as RJ he woulda freaked out right there.

Hey it's tv so who knows but what I've taken away form RK showing up is mainly in the last two episodes,,
1) his little conversation with Bertram about trusting Lisbon. This still says to me they (Bertram prob unknowingly, cause he's not to bright) are protecting somebody higher, a judge or AG. And
2) when he says "I'm a friend" to Lennon. Remember when Stiles told PJ where Christina was hidden? He told PJ to consider it a gift from "a friend". So this friend is either RK's strange personal moniker or it's how people that do RJs bidding code themselves. Like the mafia uses "friend of ours"

RK is clearly on PJs radar now and that's gonna be the trail till the seasons end. With at least the next 2 years pick up and the actor just being a guest star you not going to get the RK is RJ bow tied up real quick......then again I to tv!!

lets face the facts, everyone who joins late in a series and is involved quite heavily with the CBI is usually red Johns man I.E O'laughlin or Bosco's assistant, it would only make sense if Kirkland was a Red john accomplice, i have a strong feeling RJ will kill him once PJ gets closer.

i believe Kirkland has nothing to do with RJ, maybe he does, the evidence points at him, but i think Bruno Heller is just giving us another red herring  to throw us off the scent of RJ. Perhaps they knew each other before, after all, he was pretty convinced he was his 'friend' it's very likely that he's RJ's man but i not RJ himself. they wouldn't make it that obvious. Bruno knows what he's doing! But i think the next episode will be good because, did anyone else notice the way Jane looked at Bob when he walked away, i was that scared look he gets when he realizes something. Understandable that RJ's only known alive accomplice is dead. who knows, we'll have to wait 'nd see!
