Brett Partridge is not that. Heller said there was a clue in the last scene of Desert rose. Look up closely before Lisbon got attacked. She was surprised by seeing something on the sink close to the curtains full of blood, she saw a piegon.This why she had the surpised look right before falling down. That means that the blood is fake, then Partridge is not dead, so follow the logical thinking. This all will be misleading facts if we see Partridge body, which i do really hope to spare me some disapointement about Partridge being RJ.
