In the Season 3 finale, Patrick confronts and shoots a man who claims to be the serial killer who murdered his wife and daughter – Red John.

So, John is sitting there in the mall talking on the phone and asks Lisbon to redial the last call on the O’Laughlin’s phone and tell the person on the other end that he (O’Laughlin) was dead. So, we’re sitting there waiting to see who answers when a phone near PATRICK starts to ring. This guy picks it up and answers and it sounds like Red John! That same voice.

He and Patrick have sort of a standoff then “Red John” describes the scent of Patrick’s late wife and daughter. OMG, my stomach twisted into knots during that scene! All of a sudden, while “Red john” was describing it, Patrick SHOT HIM! He had a gun in his pocket and literally shot him dead right then and there! It was certainly a plot twist for the season finale. Now we’re left wondering if the guy was really Red John or someone brainwashed by him to portray him? What will happen to Patrick both physically and emotionally? The show could go in so many different directions from this point. I’m not convinced it is Red John but the voice. Oh my gosh the voice. It sounded like him. And what other person would describe the scents like that? I just don’t know. But I do know I can’t wait for the next season to start so we can find out!

Sp tell me, do you believe that this man is the true Red John? If so, why? If not, who do you think he is?

If you are a fan of The Mentalist you know that in Season 3, Patrick appears to be able to communicate with horses as a ‘horse whisperer’, charm guilty culprits into spilling their secrets and help a hired burglar out of a holding cell in less than 24 hours. How cool is that?

If I, personally, had one of his abilities, I like to be able to charm guilty culprits into confessing. But only if it was done in a way that was admissible in court. Because, it would do much good to get a confession you couldn’t use, right? I’d also love to be psychic in a way that led police to find someone who was missing, then to the criminal. BUT, I’d want to do it anonymously. I wouldn’t want public credit for it and of course there is the safety issue of it. I don’t think bad people would appreciate that talent too much. So I wouldn’t want them to know about it either. Anyway, I think that would be an awesome skill to have. To be able to ‘see’ the crime and either stop it if there is time or solve it if it happened in the past.
