I’ve argued in a number of postings that I do not believe what is going on in the current reboot is real.  I have suggested why I believe this, i.e. the lack of logic of the story line post S6E7.  Issues:  how could the FBI close down the CBI?  The CBI (if it existed) would have been established by California state law.  The FBI could have come in an arrested all CBI employees (if it were able to get a court order to do so) but it would never have been able to get a court order to close the CBI.  The CBI is a state agency whose existence is based on that state’s legislative power.  That ability simply does not exist under US constitutional system.  If Lisbon, Chou, etc. were out of a job (fired), they would also be in jail or on trial.  They would not be working other jobs (and certainly not FBI agents).  If the story line was that they were fired or quite, that would be logical, not that their jobs were abolished.  Also, the FBI is a bureaucracy and follows rules.  Chou had to go through agent training before he is an actual FBI agent, Lisbon would have to do the same.  I agree that none of the FBI personnel appear to be “fleshed out;” they seem like stock characters that have been introduced and intentionally not developed.  This might be a timing issue (S6E11 could be argued that the writers are doing so with Fischer but we then need to believe that the story is really post-RJ and the writers are pushing the triangle story line).If this is all in PJ’s mind as a result of the blast, it’s his delusion. 

One last thought:  there was a discussion of what type of woman is PJ’s type of woman.  If this is his delusion, one could argue that Markham is his type of woman because she was a criminal and PJ recognized her as such.  His decision to expose her does not take away from his attraction to her.  PJ’s wife certainly understood he was a conman/criminal.  If he is delusional would he not reveal his true self?
