DO YOU THINK MCALLISTER COULD BE THE ONE WHO INDEED KILLED JANE'S FAMILY -- BUT IS NOT THE MASTERMIND WHO ORDERED IT?

RJ is someone who keeps his hands clean and enlists other to do the dirty work 

AND, if you practiced mind control and hypnosis, being a superior mentalist, as RJ surely does and is -- McAllister would be a great subject to USE as a killer since he's a hunter who cuts up living creatures no problem.

So, it's perfect that McAllister is BOTH the one who killed Jane's family, and yet not RJ -- because it would make sense for Jane to exact revenge on him -- and yet, also EXPLAIN why so many of us don't believe McAllister was RJ.  We believe he was telling the truth when he said "I'm not RJ"

McAllister, I think, was only RJ mind controlled henchman -- which will justify in the end that he was killed when we find out who the real RJ really is.  

CHECK OUT:  SEASON ONE EPISODE 18 -- Russet Potatoes -- WHERE WOMAN HYPNOTIZES MEN TO KILL FOR HER -- I think THIS was A CLUE ABOUT RJ!!!  The female killer also hypnotized Rigsby, too!

I think the List of 7 included several that RJ used, if not all -- and certainly some RJ wanted to get rid of.

RJ has always been one step ahead of PJ -- So HOW WOULD PJ get the upper hand enough to be one step of RJ?  

Jane would HAVE to play along, play it straight, let RJ think his "plan" had worked -- and it would take a long time to convince RJ that PJ had given it all up....which is EXACTLY what Jane is doing now...Jane probably KNEW Agent Fisher was who she was -- and was waiting for RJ to make a next move -- letting RJ think the manipulation was working

NO doubt in my mind that Jane knows McAllister is RJ henchman -- which explains to me WHY he took it all so seriously [in the first lame 8 episodes] -- and yet -- also finally explains to me why we the viewers know something is still off.... Jane is still hunting RJ
