Well done #MikeFit for abusing and name calling other fans just because they know the episode is real and you have different opinion! I'll never come to this website again, thanks to you! You can be proud of yourself. Horrible person.

this makes sense to me a lot.... http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/14784

OMG, Partridge?! I'm still in shock. Who else is rewatching episode 1-7??? Heller, first, nice trick, and second, I'm sorry I ever doubted you!

I didn't really understand the part about Haffner faking Partridge's death.

Someone explain how GPS works? OK, I get that Lisbon is bugged, so Haffner knew when it was safe to move to West Huron (because Haffner saw when she leaves the office). Next he superficially wounds Partridge. Partridge lures her to his door and then the rest is history. But who had Haffner's phone? It was also a good clue from Heller to put Haffner in the dream. It makes sense why Haffner went to check up on her. And I was half right about Red John! Haffner did so many of the Red John killings, I'm guessing Partridge was too weak to kill men!!!

Ok, here's what I have so far:



I think it's Brett Partridge and I think Partridge is Patrick Jane's half
brother...here's why:



In the poem "The Tyger" it is interpreted as a response to an earlier
poem by Blake "The Lamb".  In the line "Did he who made the
Lamb make thee?"...it makes it sound like the lamb and the tiger were made
by the same "God" but in the show, the mother.  Patrick Jane's
father Alex was a horrible abusive man but no mention of his mother at
all. 



What if PJ and RJ's mother were one and the same?  But while PJ had Alex
as his father, RJ's father was Bret Stiles.  Why would they use the same
name, albeit spelled differently, in the same show?  So "their"
mother gave birth to them both with different fathers.  Bret Stiles is a
con man who founded "Visualize" who uses blood in their
ceremonies.  Bret Stiles found out or knew from the beginning that RJ was
his son and that's why he is protecting him.  And in the last episode when
PJ says one of the men in the room was RJ, Stiles laughed knowingly because he
knew RJ was NOT in the room.





 In the interpretation of the poem they compare the lamb and the tiger to
good and evil.  Patrick Jane supposedly good and Red John bad.  He
may have grown up in Patrick's shadow (knowing or not knowing they were
related) and was jealous.  When he became famous and insulted RJ, RJ
retaliated by killing his wife and daughter. 







Angela was also a carny and they ran away together which made her family
VERY upset.  Tanner probably teamed up with RJ because they both hated
Patrick.





Also, RJ was helped by Orville Tanner in his
first killing.   Patrick Jane's wife Angela's last name was
Ruskin.  Ruskin is Scottish and means "from a family of
tanners"  Tanners....Orville Tanner.  That CANNOT be a coincidence!



There was NO corpse so it was probably staged to make it look like he was
dead.  In interviews Heller said it definitely was one of the seven,
making Partridge still a contender because we all know RJ has done way worse
than fake a death.



I think this definitely goes all the way back to his carny days.  Plus,
for anyone to know Patrick's "happy memory" they would have had to
physically be there since PJ didn't tell anyone about the 4th of July party.



What do you think???

If the Leaked Episode is REAL, then:

1.  CBS flat-out didn't care about spoiling the reveal in their promo material.
2.  It's simply a coincidence that this episode wound up getting leaked.
3  Bruno has suddenly forgotten how to write.
4.  The show's budget suddenly got cut in half.
5.  Every specific clue from episodes past winds up being pointless.
6.  Mentalist's PR team never heard of this site, nor has Bruno.
7.  The Mentalist fan/tv critic who positively reviewed RED JOHN, truly believed that this episode showed Jane at his witty best and gives the fans the CLEVER Holmes/Moriarty showdown they've been waiting for, along with answers to MANY questions we've had for years.

8.  Heller thinks so little of the fans, so as to expect them to keep watching after seeing this weak wrap-up, which of course makes him stupid as well as inconsiderate.

If the leaked episode is FAKE, then:

1.  Bruno wanted it to be seen, to throw off fans, and surprise everyone.
2.  CBS meant for pics of McAllister to be seen, with Bruno's full blessings.
3.  Bruno will put the pieces together, that he has painstakingly laid out.
4.  Jane will best RJ with manipulation, proving he's still ahead of all of us.
5.  The cheap look of the episode was because it wasn't the REAL episode.
6.  This site was instrumental in Bruno's decision-making, as to how and when to end RJ.
7.  Bruno would like the show to continue successfully, with old fans as well as new.

Wishful thinking aside, it seems more logical to think that this leaked episode was calculated.  And it was handled in such a way, so as not to be SO obvious that it deceives no one.  It was available just long enough for people to see it and share it, but then got "quickly" taken down, as if it were an accident.  Then it shows up on Itunes, again to make it "legit."

If Jane and his clever manipulation skills are merely an extension of Bruno's creativity and cleverness, then wouldn't it be very "Jane" of him to get everyone angry at him, only to prove that it was all a ruse, merely masking his true intentions, known only to him?

Don't get me wrong.  It's entirely possible that all of the casual viewers' complaints about being sick of Red John finally got to Bruno, and he just said, "The hell with it.  Let's just kill him and get on with the show, before our ratings drop any lower."  It is all about money, at the end of the day, after all.

But I think even the CASUAL viewers would feel stiffed by this nonsense, and the ratings would plummet anyway.  Bruno has to know that.  So, for the show to even have a bright future, he has to deliver a payoff that would make people want to continue to tune in to see what's next for Jane.

Since almost all of us feel like this episode is a giant "F**K YOU", I don't think Heller would seriously put this out there as his "Hail Mary."  He would only do that if he doesn't care anymore and plans to cancel the show, and on a sour note, at that.

So, to my way of thinking, too much is at stake here, for Heller to do this, unless he's finished and angry.  His latest interviews don't seem to suggest that at all.  So, for now, I'm still going to assume this is all a ruse.  Seems more reasonable to me.  I sure hope to God I'm right....

And yes, I hope it's Partridge.

Who's working for the Leak Association, that is the question...

Surprisingly enough, I think I have picked up something that a lot of people here seem to have missed out on. Check the image below. Bertram is mysteriously missing in the official YouTube trailer released by CBS while he is seen lying on the floor in the leaked video. Everything else in the frame is exactly the same.

Long story short, its an intelligent move by Heller and co to have released a fake version of the finale. It also means a cracker of an episode is up for grabs later today. Faith in humanity restored!
