ARGUMENTATION

Okay, I'm not really sure if this means anything, but in the last scene of "The desert rose", right after we see Lisbon getting pulled back, we see Jane walking through one of the corridors of the CBI-building. As he walks through the corridor, he suddenly bumps into Ron, and asks him if he has seen Lisbon. Ron says "Nope", and moves on, and the very next second, Jane receives a phone call from Lisbon, he presumes, which turns out to be RJ. Now, if you go back to when he bumps into Ron, you'll see that Ron is on his phone. The phone is lighted up, and as Jane's phone rings, Ron is out of the picture. 
I know Heller says that RJ is on PJ's list, but he never said that it was the list that has been laid out before us. 
Patrick must have known that RJ would go for the list, therefore the toothpick in the door, and from there on, he could just alter things to look like RJ has the upper hand, while Jane, in the meantime, controls the real list. 

I do suspect Partridge to be in somehow as well, one does not simply say "Tyger! Tyger!" as your last words, unless you've been told to do so, or, if in fact, you are Red John, or working with him. 

The clip where we see RJ paint Lisbon's face could be taken from long before that phone call found place. As she walks through the house where Partridge is, she receives a phone call from Jane. We don't know where he made this phone call from, but to me, it seems like he is driving, not parking and preparing to enter the CBI building. It could have been 30 minutes or more until he arrived at the CBI building, which could give Ron the time to set up Lisbon's face, leave the building with her phone and come back to the CBI building, and as he sees PJ, he decides to make the phone call. The phone call does not necessarily need to come from the crime scene, as we don't know how long it took for Jane to get to the CBI, and as we don't know where he was as the call was made. 

I don't know if this makes sense at all, but my money is either on Ron or Partridge, even though it would seem that Partridge is dead (Which we will probably know next episode)
