JANE KNEW HE'D HAVE TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF LIST OF SUSPECTS before he actually did: as he got closer to RJ -- everyone, including Lisbon and CBI team, FBI and Homeland, and even RJ himself  -- would want to know what Jane knows.  SO, Jane HAD to give something, but does ANYONE really think Jane is going just hand IT over like that?


1) FIRST FAKE LIST: that Jane left for who was spying on him [Kirkland] was a bunch of low life scum that were likely continuing their same heinous crimes, so Jane had a clear conscious about setting these men up should someone try to harm them. Do ANY of us care that the pedophile from last episode lost his finger? No, I think we're only sad Kirkland let him live. 



2) SECOND FAKE LIST:  [of 7 supposed suspects] -- Jane corroborating with Lisbon & team so cooperatively makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and I think everyone who loves this show knows that.  Thus, in order to save myself from feeling gypped by the current writing of Jane's uncharacteristic behavior, we have to look beyond what we've been told, which is really just what we've been led to believe.  Therefore:



3) I think Jane is "playing along" with the list of 7 -- because like his first list, the suspects are likely all involved in corruption,
anyway. So, if Lisbon investigates them, it's a win-win because these guys need to be exposed.



In a way, you could say: NO LIST IS actually FAKE -- as both lists have very bad criminals on it who need to come to justice.  They are REAL lists in a sense -- and COULD lead to RJ somehow -- even though I think PJ knows RJ's real name is not actually on it. 


JANE KEEPS HIS REAL LIST IN HIS HEAD - because he trusts only himself.   He's ALWAYS been this way:  why would he change now?


JANE WILL REVEAL RED JOHN when RED JOHN REVEALS HIMSELF -- THROUGH the TRAP JANE SETS FOR HIM.  [So, I have to wonder, is the LIST a part of the trap?]
