You know I always thought that episode 8 being Kim Fischer's dream was plausible, because the little girl in the house that RJ crashes through looks so much like Kim. And the episode was so weird and stupid, like any person's dream. The only problem would be explaining it to the viewership. I mean how do you convey later on that it was a dream, and specifically Fischer's dream? I know it would be a bullshit move, but recently everything is a bullshit move.

We know Jane is going to have to answer for the events of episode 8, in the next episode. 

*MINI SPOILER* Kim Fischer actually gets shot next episode. *MINI SPOILER* This is a great way for her to pass out, and re-visit the same dream and little bits of episode 8 flash through her head, ending with McAllister crashing through the glass door. Then she wakes up in hospital. 

Lisbon: "It's ok. You're safe."
Fischer: "Oh, just... dream... Did Jane ever tell you what Red John said when they met?"
Lisbon: "No... I never asked."
Fischer: "Well, we'll find out tomorrow."
Lisbon: "Yea..."

Next Scene.

Jane is in front of the grand jury. *Enter the real flashback encounter of Red John/Patrick Jane.* Jane explains everything, from RJ's operations all the way to how he escaped into Mexico with an old guy who had an uncanny resemblance to Bret Stiles. Or just the important stuff would be nice. At this point, anything would be nice.

- I know this probably will not happen, but who knows...maybe, just maybe Bruno Heller has a pigeon up his sleeve -
