So, most probably Bertram is RJ, as announced by Jane. What if Bertram is not RJ and Jane is pretending to be convinced and in fact trying to mislead RJ now?
Ray Haffner and Stiles are supposed to be dead, is it right? How come Jane, Smith and Bertram survived the explosion and Haffner, Stiles and McAllister didn’t. Although 3 supposedly dead people were sitting on the same couch, it’s hard to believe that 3 died and other 2 walked without a scratch. Also, there was a sound of gun fire right before explosion. No details have been provided on that so it looks like things are not as they appear.
Three people(all in law enforcement) have tattoos and other two don't, is it not possible that the "Blake Association" forced members from law enforcement to wear the tattoos and do all the killings while the mastermind(RJ) may not be wearing any tattoo.
My theory, Haffner is Red John, he designed the explosion and faked death of himself and Stiles. He sounds physically fit, way too cool and also told Jane and Lisbon that "I want you to know that I tried to help".
In one of the episodes Stiles handed an envelope to Jane with some information on what RJ was going to do next, my suspicion is that Stiles had that information because he knew that Haffner is RJ. Stiles is a close ally of RJ, and possibly whole visualize is.
So Haffner is RJ, Stiles is his close ally. This is assuming that RJ killed people himself. If RJ never killed anyone and only did planning part, Stiles maybe RJ and Haffner a close ally(and his successor).
Bertram, Smith and McAllister are just bad cops.
RJ is supposed to be smart person who doesn't make mistakes. He's leading Jane to believe that RJ is someone from law enforcement. Jane is pretending to believe that Bertram is RJ but he probably has a pretty good idea who is real RJ and keeping it to himself. That's why he's not caring about CBI shutdown and probably going to go back to his house to find out more about the explosion.
