In this post I will explain several key events that have happened in
episode 7 The Great Red Dragon (if you have not seen the episode yet
stop reading and go watch it). These events will also hint at what I
believe will happen in episode 8 Red John.



In the last episode several important facts have occured. After the
bombing of Jane's house 3 of the 5 remaining RJ suspects end up dead.
When we learn that the tyger tyger tattoo has been removed from
Patridge's arm Lisbon asks "What does it mean?" Jane answers "What do
you think it means?" and walks away. The removal of the tyger tyger
tattoo obviously means that the Tyger Tyger group is present in the
morgue, and this also means that the dna results of the 3 RJ suspects
that died in Jane's house are very likely false. Jane obviously realizes
at this point that RJ is 1 of the 3 "deceased" suspects. He then begins
setting his trap, he announced publicly that RJ is Bertram, fully aware
of the fact that this is a lie. I mean Jane has always said that when
he finally gets RJ he will kill him, so why would he announce to the
public that Bertram is RJ and that he is "armed and dangerous"? Answers
because he wants Bertram to get killed, he wants Bertram to die, making
everyone believe that RJ is dead. As we know RJ is a showman, he wants
people (especially Jane) to appreciate his work, RJ has a phobia of
being unrecognized. So RJ needs to confront Jane in the next episode
because he HAS to, he knows that it is a stupid thing to do and should
walk away but he CAN'T. Hence why Jane sais in the end, "I'm not
quitting, I'm letting go". There is nothing more that he can do and he
knows it, RJ needs to make the next move. So he goes into the church and
waits for the inevitable arrival of his nemesis, RJ.



You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
