Concerning the plot from the 4th episode ---> I would believe that the list is a fake! But we must understand what is the meaning of the fake! And this, I guess, is related somehow to Bruno Heller:
He just confirmed that Red John is on the list! But he never said that all the "suspects" are viable ones. Red John has the list and maybe he thinks that Patrick believes about these suspects to fit indeed the case. Why RJ would believe ? Because he sees his name on that list! And that's the trap made by Patrick for him.
But now is the big problem. As it is said in the 4th episode plot, all the people (who appears on the faked list which he planted) are in danger. That's something Patrick Jane didn't expected ! We can see his face in the 4th ep. promo. Who would imagine that RJ would kill the other suspects so that he would incriminates himself ! But apparently is not like that. Who knows...
Other thing I want to write about:
It is rumored in many theories that Partridge's killing has a connection with William's Black poem: A brace of partridge. Also appeared another thing related to these author about some pigeons! As we can see in the 3rd episode, McAllister fears the pigeons ----> Could be him a candidate to be killed in next episodes ? He would be related somehow to this. And also not forget the pigeons in that house where was discovered Partidge: like a clue for the next crime.
