In the spoiler TV guide article, Simon Baker states that RJ wants a relationship with Jane so much that he ends up tipping his hat. ? Season 4 finale shows this when RJ wants Patrick to turn to the dark side. Out of the 6, assuming Partridge isn't dead, which character would want to be around Jane?
- Bertram: close and frequent contact with Jane. Possible faked bad poker playing to have a game with him.
- Partridge: wonders why Jane doesn't like him, seems to yearn for his acceptance.
- McAllister: paper/rock/scissor, great playful banter between the two, mental one-upsmanship, saves his life....twice? :-)
I don't believe Smith displays any of these qualities, and I believe Haffnerseems genuinely angry and contemptful towards Jane.
So, with that in mind, and taking the tattoo and promo at its word, it's either Bertram or McAllister. I think Bertram is written the best and has so much back material that would make researching the series enjoyable. On the other hand, the Sheriff IMO has golden moments with Jane that are creepy, funny and full of gravitas.
I'd be extremely happy with either!
