I have a HUNCH, that Lisbon is not telling Patrick something !!!!!!!!

In Episode 1, when Lisbon is in Hospital the Nurse calls the "Carman Li" and she says wrong room... but it looks like she was lying? Also she is always with her

this onw shall be the most covered in red theory due most of all, that I have not a single prove but something inside my head tells me that Teresa is Lisbon and the (mean) producer of my favourite TV show will enjoy braking a lot of hearts.

1) Red John or Red John's accomplice put blood on Lisbon's mouth only after the phone conversation was over.

2) Looks like she could have been alone and able to speak freely for the end of the Season 4 finale where Red John is on the phone, too.

3) She is religious, and would likely think of herself in religious terms: hence the Tyger Tyger poem, the symmetry of good and evil (Lamb and Tyger) inside herself, inside Jane, and between the two.

4) You can spell her name with letters found in the Final 7 list, which might give the showrunners a sneaky way out of their public promises.

5) Jane goes to a church after the FBI kick him out of the Red John investigation with Bertrum on the run, and in the last scene, the camera lingers on a painting of a female religious figure (the Virgin Mary, I suppose? --> mother --> Mother Theresa) surrounded by adoring followers. Aside from Jane's face---looking rather broken, arguably---, that's the last shot of the episode.

This would give an interesting dynamic to Lisbon's disapointed look when Jane appears to give up at the end of the last episode, as well as to the initial meeting of Lorelei and Lisbon at the end of season 4.

I don't think it is one of the men with the tattoo.  Red John won't have that tattoo...his minions will.  He is running the show.  I think he "brands" his workers with his mark...I don't think he will have the mark himself.  He regards himself to highly to share this brand...

Too much has happened that only Teresa and Patrick knew about....  I think she is the mastermind behind Red John.  I think that Patrick has figured it out and that is why he told her (in the last episode) that he was going to take a break from this.  She has been in his "circle" and has known all of his moves...  She is Red John.

Do you guys remember when at season 4 finale, the guy who obviously knew red john and was shot by Jane said to him "Let go, let go, are you going to live like this all your life? trying to catch red john?"

well, i am pretty sure that the fact that he said that, means something, red john is ready to be revealed.

I am not saying that she is Teresa, but she was the one seeing him say "im tired, im done with this, this is it,"
