Question rather than theory:  In S6E2, the nurse/doctor who stepped into Lisbon's hospital room looking for Carmen Lee caught Jane's attention in a way that seemed to be more than just an interruption.  After leaving Lisbon's room Jane immediately called to talk with Sophie Miller and later told Lisbon that the hospitals/doctors spurred the idea.  Others have speculated that saying "Carmen Lee" triggered a post-hyponotic suggestion for Jane.  That would certainly help ensure that Jane was the one to discover Sophie Miler's decapitated head in the oven.

My question concerns the broader implications of a possible post-hypnotic suggestion.  If Jane was hypnotized while he was committed to the insane asylum, who did it and for what purposes?  I seems unlikely to be Sophie Miller or part of genuine therapy.  Jane appears to conclude that Sophie Miller was killed by Red John, implying that Red John (personally or through a proxy) had access to Jane while he was in the asylum.  That opens the doors for all sorts of complications.  In having access to Jane -- when Jane was uniquely vulnerable and without his knowledge -- what would Red John have wanted to accomplish?  Some obvious possibilities:

o  Having Jane sabotage his own hunt for Red John?

o  Planting various post-hypnotic suggestions that could be useful to Red John in the future if Jane gets to close to catching him?

o  Help Red John accomplish his criminal goals that go beyond just murdering women occasionally (although remember Jane's point made during the "Russet Potatoes" episode, that a hypnotized person cannot be forced to do something against his nature)?

o  Help Red John fight his competitors/opponents (e.g., Tyger Tyger organization)?

o Other?

It is also interesting to remember that both the FBI and Homeland Security were aware of Jane's commitment to the asylum.  Were they also aware of/responsible for any nefarious misuse of Jane while there?  What if the battle field between Jane, Red John, FBI, Homeland, and Tyger Tyger actually started while Jane was in the asylum, with Jane as a would-be pawn of all these forces?

I don't know where to go with this, but "Carmen Lee" could be more than a mistaken room number while Lisbon was hospitalized!

Ideas welcome.
