Come on people let me tell you some facts

1. Bruno Heller made us watching this show for 7 years now. He has gotten us this far that we are continuely discussing the identity of red John. He made the mentalist the most dramatic crime tv show. Do you really think that Bruno heller will be this lame to end the show like this and let betram be red John? No. He has given twists to the show and who would a genius as heller be who made us watching every single episode to not give a final twist and surprise us all with the identity of red John!

2. At the end of the episode when jane is sitting in the church, he has that same look on his face as when he met red John, at every crime scène of red John or when something that has to do with red John is about to happen. That meant that something with red John is about to happen at that moment and next week we will find out.

3. We can not say who red John is until next week because heller won't allow us. He is a man that made the mentalist to what it is today and he will end this show well at the Very end!

4. My english is bad so that's also a fact

Extending my previous post, another thing that doesn't make sense at all. PJ magically concurs that Bertram is Red John. OK till now. But before the explosion he had 3 suspects, and he took for granted that the sheriff isn't Red John, because he died!! The fact that he died cleared him!
So if a brick had fall on Bertram's head during the explosion and Bertram died instead of the sherriff, then the sheriff would be RJ and Bertram would be cleared! And then he goes on to name the serial killer on national TV without any evidence watsoever. He puts the life of Bertram on the line, when he has no evidence that Bertram has ever done anything wrong. Wow!

the episode makes no logical sense. It is assumed that one of the 3 people with the tattoos is red john. Then, one of them dies in the explosion. OK till now. But why on earth are we supposed to believe that RJ wasn't the sheriff? Why the fact that he randomly died in the explosion cleared him of suspicion, and the prevailing assumption is that one of the other 2 is RJ? RJ cannot die in an explosion? :)

Also the explosion itself doesnt make any sense. Who would benefit from it? If red john is responsible for the explosion, and he is one of the suspects, then he risked his life and the life of his followers with no apparent reason. Is he a suicidal maniac?
If red john is not on the list, still he risked the lives of his followers, and why would he do that? Since he is not in the suspects, and he is clear, why make such a bold move? If it wasn't Red John who planted the bomb, who did it? Noone had interest in killing all those people in that house, or randomly putting their lives into risk. The only explanation I can come up with is that RJ is responsible for the bomb and that both PJ and Blake group are trying to catch him, so he found the opportunity to take them out at once, which both contradicts Reede Smith's testimony and also breaks the 'elegant killing touch and signature' of RJ throughout the years.

Can someone pls explain to me who would put the bomb and why?
thank you

might be nothing....but apart from the women at the church...did anyone else spot the man on the right?

Bertram is not RJ, in fact RJ is a woman

Why would PJ send all law inforcement in a manhunt of the man he wants to catch and kill? he doesn´t need a national hunt for Bertram if he wanted him he will deduce his whereabouts, find him and kill him, PJ actions towards Bertram,  do not fit at all, at list after he drops he tea cup, what fits to PJ MO is to give a false lead to have everyone looking and wanting to catch Bertram who is in fact a killer and a crooked cop and needs to be found and put away ,  meanwhile he can get  RJ and kill him with out interruptions or anyone stopping him. Of course Bertram is a Killer , who other type of people would help a serial killer other than a sociopath.

Cheers Folks!!
