A bond of unity is present here, a unity which born through resention of Bruno Heller and episode 8. It's nice to see fans united, but it would only be bettered if it were a happy unity instead of an angry one. I come bearing a possible explanation for episode 8.
Episode 8 is a dream. No one runs a marathon at that speed with a bullet inside them, let alone that old Sherriff McAllister. The bigger mystery is whose dream is it?
Criteria: What was strange in the episode?
- Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt are all wrong in their personalities, so this person obviously doesn't know the CBI team
- Agent Abbott is exactly like Agent Abbot so this person knows agent Abbot. They could be in the FBI.
- little girl listening to music closes door on McAllister. Who is this little girl?
- older girl listening to music runs past Jane and McAllister near a school bus. No comment.
- this person has a very detailed knowledge of the way that Red John seemingly died. If they're in the FBI as deduced earlier, they've read a case file recently.
- Jane speaks Spanish in the episode. Is this person expecting Jane to be fluent in Spanish or something?
The only person I can think of that comes close to fitting any of this is Kim Fischer who mentions dream worlds on the episode "My Blue Heaven."
Kim Fischer could have dreamed this dream on her flight to Mexico, hence the Spanish and she works for the FBI and she was tasked with bringing Jane back to the US, so she would have read the case file on the events leading to Jane fleeing the country. There's something strange about her...
It seems an eternity ago that Jane went into his house with an elaborate plan. It seems like it worked. He killed Red John. The other part of the plan was making it look like Jane was clueless, and that McAllister was Red John. This plan also worked. Everybody, including FBI, thinks McAllister was Red John. That leaves us, the audience, 2 years ahead, having not seen the real Red John ending. In time, I expect circumstances to force Jane to explain what really happened. And we'll be in for one hell of a Red john episode.
