THE THEORIES

I have a question about Smith. I want to know if I missed something.

After meeting in Jane's house, Smith runs away and we see Bertram trying to kill Smith using Oscar.

Who wants to kill Smith?

A) RJ orders Bertram to take care of Smith. In this case, it makes no sense as RJ could easily put Smith next to Haffner and Stiles and kill him.

B) Bertram wants to kill Smith. But why? Bertram has no reason to kill Smith. It is not that Smith is gonna talk or anything. They even work together (McAllister-Bertram-Smith meeting in Bertram's office)

Can someone please explain me why there was a target on Smith?

1) Afraid of heights!!
2) was thinner when he was younger!
3) revealed in S5, Ep1 as it should be...late to the party !!
4) Gave himself up in the nick of time...twice he was a DEAD man and yet, he was saved by the CBI both times ??
Good timing or is it all all Red John scripted!!
Reede smith stinks of Red John
Red John is me is an anagram of Reede Smith
I got 117 other reasons why it is this FBI man...this douche who is really a closet super villian :)

So I just saw the episode here in Nicaragua. Its definitely a different episode. SPOILER:
Summer and Cho both turn into pigeons and fly to Dubai, also Bret Stiles is the secret father of every character on the list of 7. I can confirm this because I am in canada and I also saw the episode. And me to, I am in Kenya and saw it on Amazon Prime Kenya, and we are all posting from the same account. I hope this clears everything up. Any questions?

Leaked episode: Real Or Not . . .

Would have have much rather the writers used this theorist's/spoiler's outline for the finale. Would have at least gotten most of the nagging questions answered.

Theory 13389

Follow the evidence of this "leaked" episode and I think you wind up with Reede Smith, aka Roy Tagliaferro I, as Red John Killer, with Michael Kirkland (or MAYBE Brett Partridge) as Roy 2 and his main accomplice.

This Sheriff Mac as Red John comes out of nowhere with NO backstory whatsoever.

What?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Meet the real Red John.

I figured it out after putting together all the clues here: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/13389

The actual Sunday episode is NOTHING like the one that has been "leaked."

CBS was pulling a con. Remember they call this November Sweeps for a reason.

Wonder if the person who posted this spoiler http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/13389 under Throey 13389 saw a different leaked episode. Because there are too many differences in his very detailed "spoiler" to have been from this episode, especially his/her allusions to Visualize and Roy Tagliaferro.
Makes me think the temporarily available "leaked" episode is a big prank by the CBS.
