Who is Red John?

Theories of JAYDE (1)

I have been a die-hard resurrected Partridge believer, but hear me out. When Lisbon looks at the tracker right before going to the house in 6x1, there are 4 stationary trackers: Bertram, S1, Kirkland, and Partridge. And there are 3 in transit: S2, Sheriff, and Haffner.

We know that Lisbon was not grabbed by Partridge (closed door suddenly opens and we know Partridge was lying on the ground). Someone else was there, but only Partridge's tracker was at the house. Either Partridge is RJ and he got one of his (untracked) flunkies to wait at the house to grab Lisbon, or the real RJ left his car elsewhere (so only Partridge's tracker shows up at the house) and waited for Lisbon while Partridge was in the closet. (A third possibility is that RJ is not on the list, in which case screw Heller. But never mind that.) Assuming Partridge is not RJ, then the real RJ COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DRIVING HIS CAR (IN TRANSIT) AT THE SAME TIME. So Sheriff, Haffner, and S2 (whether it be Stiles or Smith) CANNOT BE RJ because they are driving their cars at the same moment. 

Kirkland is dead. Let's assume Partridge is dead too. It's down to Bertram and S1 (Stiles or Smith). The extended promo for 6x7 shows Sheriff, Haffner, and Stiles on the board. Either a) they are the survivors, so it HAS to be Stiles (remember we are choosing between Bertram, Stiles, and Smith) or b) they are the dead ones, in which case it could be either Bertram or Smith. Can you picture Patrick Jane having an intimate erotic moment with Smith while he guts him? I thought not. Stiles or Bertram...maybe, but it's pushing it. Stiles is dying, and he indicated that he knows more than either PJ or RJ. That leaves...Bertram.

So there's my call, purely based on logic. Assuming RJ is on the list, my top pick is Bertram, followed by Stiles/Smith.

That, or Partridge comes back. Discuss.
