I guess this is my final theory on here before the big reveal on Sunday. I think i speak for most of us when i say this show is epic.It took so long to get here and i hope they end the show on good terms ( All good things come to an end). If Red John turns out to be Partridge i will be very disappointed with Bruno and the writers.

Anyways,just wanted to mention something here about the last episode. I think it was Patrick's intention to force the closure of CBI because he either does not want Lisbon to get in his way when he kills RJ or because he wants to render useless Red John's ally in the CBI ( which is probably Van Pelt judging by how upset and worried she was ). Also my money is that Red John is a relative if Patrick or is actually a woman.
