Knew a local killed a woman because he abducted that the motive was sexual assault planning to undress her later and accidentally smothered her and dumped her in a spot only a local would know

He inferred that the killer had done it before because the same brand of tape was done and both to red headed women. So after inferring they were the same he can infer that they are new to this their mind telling them to do terrible things but their consciousness saying otherwise so they mess up to poor planning.

He found many pictures in Jeremy's room and inferred he didn't leave by plane therefore he also didn't get far since he would have brought them with him. So he looks through the images and finds only one dated less than a year ago which was a week ago. There was some damage to the picture made by what seems to be a heel. So it is Rosemary's house, a woman's heel, so it was probably hers. Why would Rosemary stick her heel in a pretty young lady's face in a picture that her womazing boyfriend took. He inferred that the subject was Jeremy's lover so he decided to start checking there and was correct

He inferred due to the position of the body that he had been dragged why? We'll get to that in a moment firstly he could tell a man had daddy issues and that the receptionist who also saw the body was attractive so therefore they had sex in the boss's office to sort of contest a paternal authority and they dragged it away when they discovered it to hide that. He also knew from the murder weapon which he inferred was in the room as it was improvised, firstly this was a planned robbery as you don't accidentally find yourself in that kind of room but had to improvise which is why he wasn't shot or bound and gagged. Frank was head of security so he would have known there would be cameras in that room and there is no way he would record himself having sex in his boss's room so he turned them off, question is who else knew they would be off at that time? Many people knew so this wasn't very helpful but he was right.

Within seconds formulated a plan to use Sonny Battaglia, he first borrowed Grace's phone and then Rigsby leaving a message for Mary, Mary being a womans name, which is key for later.

Inferred where the treasure was based off a riddle of “If fortune Is what you seek sincere, the only place to look is hear.” and he figured it out immediately so then he gathers everyone and then points it out. Eventually gets them to think of music from hear (since music is something you hear) so then he checks the piano, he starts knocking until he hears something hollow and opens up a box with a hidden compartment and finds another riddle and has Lisbon take him away so that the killer thinks there will be nobody there and have the opportunity to get the treasure by swapping the key with the second riddle, the riddle had a key phrase “look to oneself” he knew the killer would connect this to a mirror and that by entering through the secret passageway they would have proven their own guilt. He formulated this plan the moment he heard the first riddle. He figured out what the key was to as well, since Beckworth was a collector AND a bootlegger he inferred it was a key to a wine cellar and was right.

Could tell a man was killed because of the speech he was going to perform, he would typically have notes or have it written down but no such thing was found. The text message was planned but the rest was improvised (semi-public place, fire extinguisher as a weapon) so therefore it was an act of desperation

Took Van Pelt to ride Pollocks Dream first to test if he was actually crazy. He realized he wasn't and this was also a test run to see if he should switch the horses, he already inferred Holwell killed the jockey since he probably didn't agree to Holwell's plan he had the following premises

He doesn't believe in psychics so he tricked one by taking him to the home of someone killed and planting a wolf tooth necklace. This would obviously trick him into using it and saying something based off of it. He knew the fraud would take this as some form of lycanthropic complex, given that day is a big thing for the moon they would probably return to the scene of the crime. He did this to frame Ellis Mars, since he told both the police and him that the killer might return to the crime scene, this was aided by him planting Keeley's hair and blood in his car. Thus when Mars is spotted they see him there and they realize he wasn't actually psychic, he supported this before by telling Ellis Mars that Lisbon was on the phone with Mullery when he died, Jane knew this but the only logical explanations for why Ellis Mars would know besides being a psychic is either

He assures him it's not a trick because if it was he'd be a lot more confident and that the odds are 60-40 but there is no plan B. He closes the case by saying the reason the envelope hasn't been found was because the man who had it had it stuffed underneath his bulletproof vest. He pieced it together this way

Hired a man to break into LaRoche’s home to get the suspect list LaRoche had, he narrowed it down to five names, Hightower was selected since she was the only one that had a motive, though he knows what the real motive is and that Hightower is innocent so he decided to get the suspects list because one of those four others is connected to Red John or if it's none of those then LaRoche himself is, and the man he hired got caught so to try to avoid repercussions he took advantage of a new guard and prones him to expecting Jane to be affable so that he can give him a chair next time while stealing his card. He then later on shaked some soda that was going to be given to the man, given he's sitting down and his soda just went everywhere he'd go to change and clean it up. Its his food break anyways, so then he uses the card to open up the holding cell and give the man some clothes and the keycard to walk out, the plan was for Jane to get Culpepper to Mexico and set him up with some starter money. This failed once he denied upon being given the bag with the clothes and said he wanted to be let out free and legal. He ends up just telling Lisbon, who punches Culpepper, which ends up getting the case dismissed.

He decided to weed out the mole by telling each of the four (and LaRoche), and different locations for Hightower, the reason they are all different is because the CBI mole would reasonably be a very valuable asset. One John cannot afford to lose so he'd send In an anonymous assassin, so they are all different locations to figure out who is the real mole. This fails but still a solid plan once he meets with Bertram he realized Bertram was not the mole, he then deduces the rope was not to bound Hightower but to descend to room 505, below 605. This would make Craig O'Laughlin the mole, he told Lisbon over the phone to press redial on his phone and tell them that O'Laughlin is dead, he kills Timothy Carter thinking he is Red John, he even says he is Red John. He is wrong however and has now been imprisoned

Noticed that if the balloon man was planning to abduct and waiting for the opportunity to kidnap the second boy he would have needed a watching spot, assuming the M.O. transfers to the first case then he must have been watching from above as there was no other way they could have done so, if it transfers here then there might be traces of a killer at a high spot near where Conner was kidnapped

Inferred that Vega uses the club to launder his drug money. So he made a bold move proclaiming he wants 20% of the profit to the club owner and takes some cash before leaving some drugs at the table. They would try to silence him and take him down in a car while he wears a tracker. Letting the CBI know where Vega’s hideout is, he knew this wouldn't work so when he gets presented to Vega, he offers a deal to him. One he knows he had been offered before. The narcotics operation team goes undercover and buys stuff from basically every dealer, so he inferred someone gave him the offer of knowing where the police stashes all their drugs, a dirty cop. He then presents the same offer and lies claiming that he killed the Perry Boys and Yolanda out of goodwill for him. Since Vega had been offered the same offer twice he'd bring in the other person to suss out what's going on where he then claims what he did and the other dirty cop couldn't have done it since she was best friends with the victim, Bianca confesses to having killed the Perry boys and Yolanda she has to because Vega’s ultimately planning on shooting the one he decides is lying. He inferred Bianca was the dirty cop since in the narcotics office she was the only one who didn't take off her disguise and that there even was a dirty cop in the first place because Yolanda's last messages were in code, cop code.

He had Pete help him with a favor to help Abbott, he then went to meet Peterson and swiped his phone to find evidence of corruption. He had Wylie show static images on the cameras so they could break into the house, he then picks the lock and uses the time period between the door opening and the alarm to type in the passcode that Wylie saw from the cameras and he presented it to Cho and Lisbon as if he just figured it out. He knew the money wouldn't be in the mattress or under it and advised Lisbon and Cho accordingly telling them to search for false drawers and hidden compartments. He knew that Peterson wasn't the candlestick type so he grabbed them and found a safe so he moved to his backup plan and got a million dollars so they could take pictures of the cat with some money so Abbott could show Peterson and they would make it look like they cracked the safe they had an accomplice, Samantha, act like they needed a phone so they used Missy Brammer's phone, the assistant of a congressman that Peterson is cozy with. They then had Pete act like pest control to get rid of the people in the office so that when Peterson meets with “Missy” occupying the office sells the act and they have Pete and Co. act like they also worked in that office they then had Peterson bring the bullet that would condemn Abbott to “Missy” and then once he turns it over expecting to have screwed over Abbott in reality he was disposing of the only evidence he had

When he heard that there was a Dr. Joe in New Hampshire (NH) that got onto the database somehow and was a civilian he knew it was an anagram DRJOENH -> RED JOHN and then after a brief conversation he knew that Red John was helping them because he wanted Renfrew out in the open to silence him meaning that Renfrew actually did have information on him. So then he knew that once he got him free they could have CBI agents waiting for him and look on the bright side even if this attempt fails and Red John kills Renfrew it will provide Patrick some information on Red John bringing him a step closer to his goal once he did he set up a safe house for Jared. This failed because Jared got cold feet about ratting out Red John. He tried to save this attempt by inferring that he was in Tijuana Mexico from a phone call from Jared. Since he could hear latin music and traffic he knew that he was somewhere around there and had thin walls hence a motel, he also wouldn't call if he didn't think he was out of CBI reach, he also inferred he was with a hooker since he'd have to use somebodies phone after all he just left prison. This fails since Red John got there before him, but at least he knows that Red John is incredibly powerful now and that Jared was trying to tell them something. “He is mor”

Not many people search for dates at gyms and it's kind of hard to believe that she didn't know he was a cop so she has an ulterior motive. He grabbed the bug she planted and dropped a penny in her coffee to make it look like the bug was destroyed when in reality he dropped it back in her own bag and grabbed the listening device to listen. He perceived Cooper was honest about not hiring Kira Tinsley so she was hired by Red John to keep an eye on the investigation meaning she either works for him or is about to become a victim of his, so he tried to get over there as soon as possible by tracing the bug he planted and discovered that Red John has a tattoo that she described as three dots on his arm, so he decided to get in contact with all five suspects and gather them in order to take a look and see who has the tattoo, he does it this way because one at a time would alarm Red John. He contacts Reede saying he has information on Red John, he contacts McAllister bringing up the fact he said he was at his disposal and saying he needs his help, sent a message to Bret Stiles he had Lisbon approach Raymond and ask him for help he ensured Raymond would show up by having Lisbon threaten Ray saying that if he doesn't show up he would assume that Raymond is Red John and that Jane will hunt him he also had Lisbon ask Raymond to pass along the message to Stiles, he then sends Grace who he knows Stiles to be fond of to ask him to meet him, Grace fails so get Stiles so he tries to persuade him himself he doesn't this by threatening him and bringing up how close he is to Red John, when Bret reveals the FBI has the Ecuadorian embassy surrounded so he cannot leave he reveals that he has a method to get him out. He distracts the FBI by having someone drive as if he was Stiles getting smuggled out to distract their attention as Stiles sneaks on a flower truck. He then gets Gale Bertram with the lure of closing the Red John case

He then sets up a meeting in order to speed up the process (knowing that Red John would anticipate this). He would have set up the meeting with this info regardless of whether or not he suspected this which makes it fly underneath Red John's radar when he inevitably sets up the meeting so he decided to get in contact with all five suspects and gather them in order to take a look and see who has the tattoo, he does it this way because one at a time would alarm Red John.

The entire meeting wasn't to oust Red John, it was to gather enough premises to deduce Red John's identity and act as though the development of multiple men with the tattoo shocks him in order to distract Red John from suspecting Jane knows as much as he does and then implement the plan he had in mind all along, but with it tuned to fit the suspect that Red John had chosen to frame.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
With this it's possible that Jane may have followed this train of thought and predicted Red John would choose to frame Gale in order to create a sense of urgency by using Gale's backing by the Blake Association to make it appear that if Jane doesn't act quickly he would lose the opportunity forever, rushing him. Jane might have predicted this and as such the contingency implemented by announcing Gale's guilt might have been pre-planned, this would explain why he was so quick to formulate that announcement after the conversation with Reede.

When he feigned insanity again due to understanding of Red John's methods and Red John seeking a relationship with Jane (as evidenced by Rebecca's own words), he predicted that Red John would try to recruit him while he's down while he's reached a true low (again, typical method of Red John as shown by my previous explanation of why Red John chose Rebecca)

In any case, I prefer the first interpretation more as it is more believable and conservative. PJ memorizes and visualizes the venue before getting blindfolded, and uses Mashburn’s reactions to help him steer the car at high speeds. This interpretation is supported by the fact that Mashburn’s car falling off the cliff was part of PJ’s strategy to catch the killer. It would make no sense for PJ to not know that the venue has a cliff and plan ahead if that was a core part of his strategy.

The whole CBI team (All main characters) drive to the address Lorelei told them to go to. She meets him but then Patrick hears via his waretap or something he put on earlier so he could speak to the team that FBI are arresting them, he sits in the car, and Red John starts to speak in the backseat. Patrick asks him when he knew, Red John says his friend from the FBI told him so he knew when the FBI knew. It means if not the FBI, the plan would’ve worked. He tells Lorelei to cut out 2 of his fingers and that she can choose. She at first chooses the finger that has the ring on it and tells Patrick that she’s sorry. I think it is symbolism that she genuinely likes Patrick and that’s why she picked the finger with the ring on it. So knowing that, Patrick screams so he could get some time until the FBI is gonna reach him and the FBI eventually does so all his fingers remain. Then, they catch Lorelei and “Red John” in the car is actually Wainwright.

Instead of finding a way around this problem he found a way through it. He snatched an mp3 player from the evidence room and checked it's log. He gave Nicole a change of clothes. He then stole a hat from the guard in Nicole's room so that he could circle around a room and then sneak her out. He then drove her along the same route she was in and played the same song to jog her memory. He made sure this didn't backfire by soothing her first explaining the necessity for her to remember. He also helped her remember by making general assumptions given he had inferred that Kara told Nicole some form of secret. She then described what the killer looked like and smelled like and Jane related this information to Lisbon. Lisbon just so happened to be in an empty, dark, house with the killer and as she realized they eventually got into a shootout. Jane improvised and told her his idea. She would slide her phone across the room and then Jane would speak out. Kyle would shoot quickly which not only relays his location but misdirects his attention long enough for Lisbon to reposition herself. That part was unoriginal but PJ did it well so It slides.

He can tell Alexandra was honest so he told Lisbon to let her go, he knew she was working with Etienne because he would have known what she was doing. So now they can claim that Alexandra Yee cooperated with the police and based off that they would like to talk to him in the morning. So he would call her and ask her what she told them and she will swear she said nothing because she did which will make him more suspicious since if she didn't then why is she walking free which will then allow them to get some information from Matt. He knew the killer was the gambling son in law given how callous he was when told of his father in laws murder and he also wanted to help Alexandras mother who was suffering from a liver disease so he asked him to set him up on a poker table he pretended it was a secret he had to keep from Lisbon. He set a piece of ice under a cup so that it would fall down and break, divert his opponents attention and grab a few cards. He bent over to show his cards sneakily, three sevens, then he changed his hand. He knew that his opponents hand was good so he pretended like he was bluffing, he got the evidence of the poker chip by making him bet it thinking he would win, he then gave himself a good hand in order to take it with him. He knew Danny would bet it because of how he showed his hand before swapping it out, betting a key piece of evidence is in character for a “degenerate gambler” who thinks he is sure to win as Jane describes him. He did this by clearing him out beforehand and lowering his guard by pretending he was going to leave first knowing Danny would risk going broke than just letting PJ leave with all his money. He then used the money to pay for Alexandras mother and gave the poker chip back to the family. He comforted them by telling them that the man died protecting them

Context: He realized that since Hines had binoculars and he wrote down vultures in his notebook he meant it literally since he was likely a birdwatcher. Which was a breakthrough since (more explained below) First he called Rigsby warning him about Roddy Gerber and then called Roddy pretending to be Rigsby and picked a fight so that when Risgby got there something violent would occur and thus Roddy is sent to jail, likely the same one as Jane himself. He questioned him and confronted him about this, all that we learned before about Hines being a birdwatcher is explained by the hypothesis that there were endangered vultures on Roddy's land that were protected meaning he couldn't drill for oil while they were there so he connected this to some old bruises found on Hines's body and inferred that Roddy beat him up until he told him where the vultures nest was to shoot them, then asked him if he killed Kirby directly, which given Janes perceptiveness he could tell that he was being honest when he claimed innocence. From this information he asked Lisbon to visit him and bring a blueberry muffin, having Lisbon visit had two purposes.

Met Mashburn at the dock and then they chatted a bit so that Jane would get to display his abilities to him, he knew that Mashburn detected a “charlatan air” from him so he would get checked out. He also knew Mashburn would want to brag about being right that Jane was a “psychic” this allows PJ to show Mashburn his own psychic abilities. He explains that there are layers to the human mind, the homo sapien brain on top of the caveman, on top of the animal, and all the way back is the lizard brain which is all action and reaction one cannot train it to not react, so he reads the lizard brain of Walter Mashburn to figure out where he hid the ring, inside the shirt of one of the women there. He did this to achieve a deeper understanding of Mashburns mind, he thinks he sweats too much, he has a mild dirt phobia, and mother issues, he expects Walter to call him a fraud so he challenges him to drive blindfolded, steering based off of his reactions, he does this successfully but parks it in a way it moves by itself to fall off a cliff. He does this so he'd have to buy Walter a new car so he can re-enter the place (i forgot what it's called), he gets the second best salesman “because he'll try harder,” when in reality he suspected that salesman of murder all along and played a similar trick that he did on Mashburn to him and figure out where the car that killed Liselle was, this would make the salesman act out of desperation and try to sell Mashburn on another car. He had to dump Mashburns car because selecting a car by itself would require a bank statement, which he could not provide so he decided to make himself indebted to someone rich, someone credible enough he wouldn't need a bank statement. He pieced it together since beef is a rare soup meat, so someone taking it and the man being sick would mean someone was poisoning the top salesman, so obviously top suspect is the person most envious of first place, second place. Liselle probably caught him which was why she had to be killed. This was also an amazing visualization as once he was driving blind by feeling Walter Mashburn’s shoulder which means he was visualizing the road which he is entirely unfamiliar with at rapid speeds (or else he'll crash), with the only input being Mashburn's reactions, it's also processing speed as he is turning the input into changes in his driving at very high speeds.

It's a common psychological profile for a killer to help the investigation somewhat for the spotlight, which aligns with his real goals as a “psychic” the real reason he did all of this was to reveal the real killer which he knew was Todd Johnson, he did all of this to sell the idea to Todd Johnson that the police think the killer was Mars. So he took Todd out to a motel room where he knew Ellis Mars was, handing Todd a gun. Todd had previously pretended to seek revenge against the person who killed his girlfriend, so he handed him the gun and Ellis on a silver platter, he knew Todd wasn't going to take the shot since if he wasn't the killer he would, there's hard evidence against Ellis, he has the motive and the opportunity, but he knew he wouldn't because he was the actual killer all along. The real killer would know for certain that Jane set Ellis up since they're the only person other than Jane that knows that Ellis was not the murderer, since Todd was. He talked Todd into confessing by sharing his inferences that he killed Keeley since she was getting too clingy, asking too many questions, and Mullery recognized a button as belonging to Todd so he had to kill him quickly. He had to break the monthly serial killings pattern, the monthly pattern was because someone that Todd is with usually gets his check and starts drinking until he blacks out. Providing Todd with an alibi, he knew Todd would think he had the upper hand since he is the one with a gun in his possession, meaning he would have no worries with confirming Janes hypothesis. At which point Cho and Rigsby come in and arrest Todd.

He proved his hypothesis by forging the damn letter, the man searching her home just wanted to remove all evidence she might have at the same time as framing Crosswhite, if the footage of the woman filming him disappeared it would look like he killed her because she filmed something she shouldn't have, so he sent the message to Lisbon through Donna that there was something there, knowing Arnold would see it and try to retrieve a piece of evidence he missed. Meaning he knew for certain Arnold was lying about there being nothing and having found it hidden under his vest is pretty incriminating. The message sent to Lisbon also had an intricacy, he mentioned in the letter he had no access to the mayors desk which is how he can mask the fact that he comes out with no letter in hand. If he could get to it why not just bring it out with him? So he mentioned that so they would have to go in and get it giving Arnold the opportunity to stash the letter.

Which would explain why Dr. Newton was killed, he figured it out. He also avoided drugging the people who could have had severe side effects, like one lady who he gave tea since she was pregnant which he detected was having an affair with Dr. Watson. He drugged them all so that the one who was given a hit of their addiction would go into a rapid detox, revealing who it was.

He also left a bag of stuff near a homeless guy, a homeless man near the alleyway of the Maier family. The bag had the knife and some clothes with blood spatter on it, the blood spatter was from Panzers blood which Jane got from the evidence room, making it look like it is a copycat since Red John wouldn't be so sloppy.

Intuited a newspaper was probably important since a man claimed it wasn't his but it was left there and he figured that there was a code, suggesting that since there was a spy that wanted to communicate with someone but not be seen with them they put a message in a newspaper and leave it in a public place, so from that he inferred that Whitaker found a spy, he saw someone leave the newspaper and he intercepted the drop. Whitaker worked for with top secret stuff and his apartment looked like it was decorated by an eight-year-old so he was naive, inquisitive, and clever. He had a copy of a very old newspaper that he never read and is faded and stained as if it's been left somewhere and now he's dead under suspicious circumstances. He then logically made a connection and decided to figure out where he got the newspaper from, he had Wylie check the camera footage and pinpoint a general time period for when he got the newspaper. He discovers the time point at which he got the newspaper and had Wylie transmit the information of what direction he came from so Jane could wait there himself and retrace his steps. He came from the south so Jane used the sun to determine where South was, he inferred that they should keep walking until they came across a bench under a fight tree due to the smell of bird poop and tree sap with a bit of fig. He then calls the fig tree a ficus rubiginosa before approaching it and smelling the bench under it to confirm that it's the same bench. He then decided to leave the newspaper there since he inferred that the spy likely comes there at specific time intervals to see if anything has been left. He then waits inside of Fisher's car to tell Lisbon and Fischer. He then waits the next day at around two o'clock and when Lisbon is gone and the spy shows up and takes the newspaper he approaches and asks for the time mentioning that he forgot to wind his and then he starts accusing him of stealing his phone and then stops an officer. He then tells the officer his phone number and tells him to call it, the ringtone goes off and the phone which he planted on the spy makes him look incredibly guilty.

So he used a black helicopter and a tank. He then points out the black helicopter running circles above them connecting it to it to the FBI lady asking around, he says Its not related to the border due to the color so it means somebody doesn't want them to know who they are. Then a lot of vans and a tank looking thing come in and they hold a vote and all meet to see if they should let the feds in he then makes them all an offer getting the leader to lend him permission via offering him the chance to appear a hero. The offer is that if they cooperate he can expose the killer and the feds don't have to cross the property line. She connected to someone from her part as a leftist lawyer hence her clothing, so everyone beneath the age of 45 is eliminated due to how long ago that was. She knew about lot of radical fringe-types so one of those people in on the run and is using the farm to hide out, likely to own a gun, all those who don't are eliminated. He then eliminated those who didn't seem too nervous. He suggests the killer is seeing the poor woman coming for revenge every time they close their eyes, this is a neat psychological trick to make the killer act out. The first two questions about age and owning a gun is the type of thing such a community would know about each other so since he got their cooperation beforehand he would be alarmed if someone lied

He sells the idea that this is not a set-up even further through Lisbon questioning if MacKaye is a cop when he states that he knows the art is stolen. MacKaye likely was about to get serious trying to establish control when Jane states that instead of focusing on him he should focus on what brought Jane into town, a big job. MacKaye then asks about which job that might be and starts listing some. He denies the first one by saying it had lousy escape routes, calling a sculpture too heavy, and then when he mentions violets he calls MacKaye correct, having this answer prepared specifically in a museum. MacKaye then tells Jane to cut him in and Jane accepts. This kind of job isn't exactly MacKaye's thing so he knew he wouldn't do the job so they're not going to rob the museum since they need to prove MacKaye guilty of murder not just bank robbery, he did this and went along with MacKaye expecting him to try to rob the house full with stolen art while Jane and Lisbon are out. The house with the stolen art had been cleaned out leaving only a big sturdy looking safe. He knew they would then try a different approach, Janes act is deliberately one of not caring about anything except, Lisbon, the acting is extra convincing because in truth he actually does care for her so with this in mind he anticipated that MacKaye would then try to use her to his advantage. Then through misdirection and a loud noise they pull away the attention of the person guarding Lisbon and the other FBI agents come in and Lisbon pulls out her own gun. He put a tracking device on one of the paintings and intentionally acts nervous to make him notice it. He cleverly even used the layout of his surroundings too, once he goes down the stairs and sees the cops he discovered he was played, so he makes a run for it back up the stairs and logically to the room of the man who played him, not explicitly mentioned but I believe this was to either get revenge while he can, hold him hostage, or he remembered there was a balcony there, either way its a solid prediction, when he finds out that Jane was not there he decides to simply make a run for it by climbing down the balcony. He anticipated this and had Cho prepared to chase him down and then MacKaye pulls a move to lose Cho and Cho acts as if he has no idea. Lets describe the layout better, imagine it as a sideways H, two parallel lines and one connecting the two, Cho was chasing MacKaye down one of the two main lines so logically MacKaye would try to evade him through the connecting road instead of just running in a straight line, so instead of running back to where Cho previously was where there is more likely to be police he crosses the connecting line, to the other main line, a road where Jane had prepared a marching band so he can't cross that one, how did Jane ensure that that path specifically was chosen when trying to evade Cho? Firstly he had a garbage truck prepared to Come down the road to shepherd MacKaye in the right direction and then he would take the first exit path that meets him. He would then run down an alley and reach another road, one where he had Wylie prepared as a taxi driver, MacKaye would take this opportunity and lead the taxi which makes him feel safe, leading directly to the location where he keeps his stuff given the fact he still had the stolen art all along. The proof against him Is too much

He then got a role as a magician due to the speaker not being able to enter because of the blockade, his magic tricks included four objects he claims he got from the lost and found one of which being the victims phone showing it off to the killer, they do not know it is in FBI custody and since it likely has information that will incriminate them they will pay a visit to the lost and found afterwards, though, it doesn't have that information. He inferred that there was a camera in a room because the killer knew to avoid a certain thing that they only discussed in that room so he explained the phone plan in that very room in order to make it look like it was a strategy when instead it was simply to mask the bluff that they had incriminating evidence on the phone by making it look like part of the plan, making it look like he made a deal with the guy who had issues was to make it look like Abbott was the kind of man willing to make a deal, and before entering the room he had informed Lisbon and Abbott about the bluff about the phone being able to incriminate them then he just sits and wait for someone to approach for the deal.

Korbell might have an inside source and to test that he turned on the light bulb so that Korbell would turn it off in anticipation of the raid which means that Gonzalez might have figured that out, implying that the inside source of information is the killer giving them 30 suspects. He then asked Vega to get all photo IDs from the past 3 years of Peterson's team. He met all of the suspects in a room and had all guns collected, he then had Lisbon and Cho load the guns with blanks.

Planted a bug under Boscos desk to listen in on the Red John and crafted a plan to evade charges for it when it was discovered. So here he has to clean up after himself (counts as a part of PJ vs RJ since it's Jane bouncing back after getting in trouble for the Red John case). He realized that since Hines had binoculars and he wrote down vultures in his notebook he meant it literally since he was likely a birdwatcher. Which was a breakthrough since (more explained below) First he called Rigsby warning him about Roddy Gerber and then called Roddy pretending to be Rigsby and picked a fight so that when Risgby got there something violent would occur and thus Roddy is sent to jail, likely the same one as Jane himself. He questioned him and confronted him about this, all that we learned before about Hines being a birdwatcher is explained by the hypothesis that there were endangered vultures on Roddy's land that were protected meaning he couldn't drill for oil while they were there so he connected this to some old bruises found on Hines's body and inferred that Roddy beat him up until he told him where the vultures nest was to shoot them, then asked him if he killed Kirby directly, which given Janes perceptiveness he could tell that he was being honest when he claimed innocence. From this information he asked Lisbon to visit him and bring a blueberry muffin, having Lisbon visit had two purposes.

He asked the officer many questions to see what he looks when he's lying and when telling the truth and asked him about the association. From the fact that Tiger Tiger is a password he inferred that Partridge was asking for help when he said that so he was a member so they went to see his body to check for a tattoo which he inferred was a sign of membership and since Partridge had the three dots removed from his shoulder, this means Red John himself likely has avenues to avoid detection through forensic science which is important for later. He gets Reede to talk without immunity by pointing out the fact that they can just put him back on the street where he won't survive and he could tell Reede was not Red John because Smith confessed to murder which Red John would never, now they're down to two. Except, Thomas McAllister had been pronounced dead, so logically it could only be Gale another thing though, Jane doesn't trust forensics, the officer having no clue about Red John implies Red John was incredibly high within the Blake Association whereas Reede is not if they want to silence him, he also reasoned Bertram was not Red John due to the very existence of a bomb, very theatrical, a trick most likely a classic case of Red John. So whatever the truth looked like it's very likely that the truth it the opposite and this was orchestrated, he then thought about a method that would have allowed McAllister, the only person left of those who had the tattoo, to fake his own death. He then went to media relations and reported a development in the Red John case calling Gale Bertram Red John in order to avoid tensing Red John by making it look like he thinks Gale is Red John, it would logically also place the CBI in hot water, given that they now had Reede's testimony against the Blake Association and that Gale the director is a criminal, so then his CBI unit would have to do something to save it, also by exposing a high level member of the Blake Association it forces Red John to act in self reservation, like setting up a meeting between Jane and himself, he anticipated Red John would do this through Bertram because Jane's actions force Bertram to comply with Red John's orders. Bertram was the director of the CBI, a very, very, powerful man who was used to abusing it as evidenced by him being a member of the Blake Association, and by making Bertram a wanted man he isolates him from those resources forcing him to seek an out. Red John would also likely want to meet Jane in person, Jane had already narrowed down the suspects significantly and Red John is forced to try and kill him. So he'd likely want to let Jane believe Bertram is Red John a little bit longer before revealing his trick himself. The trick that McAllister or rather Red John was alive the entire time which he is unaware that PJ knows. The CBI also being implicated this as i said before places them in hot water so some other, more powerful, organization like the FBI would be required to take command over this situation and take drastic measures like shutting down the CBI, in doing this his team no longer has the same backing as they are used to so they are even more dedicated to tracking down Red John and he knows the team is very loyal to him. Couple the fact that they are no longer cops with their alliances means they will go to lengths they wouldn't otherwise for Jane helping him shield his strategy in case anything goes awry especially since this is a very important and vulnerable moment for him, the moment he finally gets the revenge he had been seeking for all these years. He decided to keep his phone on him in case Bertram attempted to contact him since he concluded that the FBI don't have a trace on his phone because he wasn't located. When Gale contacted him he exchanged phones with a stranger for 300 dollars and contacted Bertram again he set up a meeting, he first asks to go to a subway station for the meeting which would be shot down since it is too public before suggesting a chapel that he had previously prepared. He borrowed Lisbon's gun as a prop and got her to stay behind, he knew he would be searched for weapons meaning that Bertrams guard would be lowered. He also dumped Lisbon's car he anticipated would be bugged by giving easy access to some thugs who would obviously steal it and drive it around so that he could go to the specified meeting place unfollowed, he profiles McAllister as an evil sexually perverted sociopath with delusions of grandeur, he provokes him by calling him and squalid psychopath. He deduced how McAllister survived the bomb, there were two explosions, one was a concussion bomb that knocked everyone out and the second was lethal and killed Haffner and Stiles only after Thomas dragged Jane, Bertram, and Smith out of harm's way, faking his own death would be easy, Brett Partridge was a part of the Blake Association and his job gives him access to the DNA database so switching his records with another surrogates DNA then he had the body brought to his house in the trunk of his car and he put it alongside Stiles and Haffner. He revealed this after provoking McAllister to get him to talk about how grandiose he is and saying that Jane has no clue how he performed some of his tricks, so that when he asks to show him something it is only after he's already gloated a lot so he feels more powerful, he then pulls some bread crumbs from his pocket and puts them in McAllister's hand so that he can reveal a pigeon from inside his vest and it will go flying to McAllister for the bread crumbs, he did this because he previously noted that the sheriff has a very peculiar fear of pigeons. This works as a distraction so that he can pull out a gun he taped underneath the bench in the chapel and shoot McAllister. Note that the chosen cemetery is the same one where his wife and child were buried meaning that the revenge is even sweeter.

Primary suspects are McAllister, Reede, and Gale. Gale and Reede are crossed out, McAllister is the only one who is left -> he faked his death. How did he fake his death?

Red John had already demonstrated a vast amount of underworld connections, the last words of Todd Johnson who worked for Red John and was ultimately killed by him were Tyger Tyger and so were the last words of Brett Partridge, who was obviously suspicious outside of merely meeting the criteria such as the fact that Partridge in the first episode displayed lots and lots of admiration for Red John and was excited to be at one of the murder scenes even though he logically should have known that Red John did not kill the couple given the fact he worked for the Blake Association and had a direct connection to Red John as is confirmed by Red John himself in S6E8 that he had Partridge prepare a fake body three months before. He also claimed that a murder that was actually Red John wasn't him and was rather a copycat which is suspicious for similar reasons and given Jane's skillset he logically would pick up on such cues.

He distracts the FBI by having someone drive as if he was Stiles getting smuggled out to distract their attention as Stiles sneaks on a flower truck. He then gets Gale Bertram with the lure of closing the Red John case.

Why would he be visualizing his whole MP just to recall 52 cards. You would assume his MP contains more information than just those cards. It does not make any sense for him to use the entire MP only for his cards. It makes way more sense for him to condense the info to 52 people and the space that they occupy, which is not comparable to the entire palace. Also logically speaking, if locations are encoded with information, why would Jane visualize locations that have nothing to do with the cards. That would be distracting as well. As it stands, PJ visualizes an unknown amount of volume in his MP because we know that the 52 cards do not occupy the entire MP (otherwise he’d have no room left for the rest of the things he has stored inside his MP). So this debuffs his VSI, WMI, and CPI derived from this calc to an unknown quantity. I stress that it is an unknown quantity because I am trying to stick to the volume that is absolutely necessary for him to visualize. He may choose to visualize more than that, but that would be terribly inefficient and cannot be used for a calc without wrong assumptions.

This phenomena usually happens because of medical issues such as Amnesia or Dementia. In Jane’s case it was Post Traumatic Amnesia after he was forced underwater by the firefighter killer. It is also retrograde amnesia as Jane can make new memories but forgets old ones.
Source: Part 6: Fugue in Red Analysis
Jane’s Memory Palace was intact even after he forgot around 14 years worth of memories. Retrograde Amnesia affects long term memories which is where a MP is stored. This shows that Jane’s MP is immune to amnesia and likely interference which plague even the best World Memory Champions. This is an exceptional feat of Overall Memory from Jane and is beyond what is considered realistic.

So this part of the plan he did is to deceive Red John into starting to believe that Patrick has given up. We know Red John has a huge influence in government structures, so he would know that Patrick burned all the files & the fire could’ve burned the whole building. It shows that Patrick is breaking up mentally, that he has actually left it behind and he also could’ve harmed people in the building and hurt himself. Also I wanted to point out that the girl Red John sent to Patrick and the question were most likely Red John’s plan, he wanted to make Patrick break down and become his friend because he sees nothing works. Also it is very justifiable because Patrick said Red John would believe in the plan at the end of 4x24, but since Red John isn’t a dumbo, it has to be something that is connected to his pride/ego. And combining everything this is the most logical explanation. Patrick deduced that it was a plan so he pretended it worked so Red John’s pride is not gonna let him highly doubt that Patrick didn’t change.

Why did he do that? Because he pretends to be a psychic which was the reason for his trauma, the reason he lost his wife & daughter, which hurt him so much. And if he pretends to be a psychic, it means he genuinely doesn’t care now and has changed his opinion about morals & things like that.

Now, Patrick runs away to the closest corner behind the building and hides behind the trash can. He deliberately hides here because he knows Lorelei has connections with Red John who has connections in all government structures so he could tell the police there and tell them to rush there. Why do I think that? Because there was a grid and Patrick could go over that but he decided to not so the police are gonna come to the time and he’s gonna punch one of them and Oscar would tell what he did. They would also search him and he probably had drugs inside of his suit so he would be convicted of assault on policeman, fraud (because Oscar told them he lied about his mother), narcotics, resisting arrest which was stated to Lisbon by her friend. It will make the story of him breaking up & losing it even more believable in the eyes of Red John. It also means he predicted that Lorelei would start talking to him at that particular day and moment & that Oscar is also gonna come up on that particular day & moment because he had drugs in the suit.

When he wakes up, Lorelei cooks him breakfast. Patrick says “Perhaps we can see each other again.” Lorelei says she doesn’t have any say in it, that she’s doing what “he” is telling her to do.

She tells him Red John wants him to change his life, he needs a new life, etc. and Patrick tells her to get out and she leaves.

He deters Arlov from killing him by saying he's with the CBI since it'll make some fuss. He invites himself out by having Rigsby and Cho listen through a wire and pull a fire alarm once PJ says the keywords “she is beautiful” he does this to create the illusion that he stole the painting (when all he stole was a forgery) and to trick Lisbon (Rigsby and Cho too) and to obtain the forgery too, we know this because he knew about it being a forgery later on so he lied about the reason he wanted to retrieve it. So that when he entered A.P. Caids office with her he predicted Caid would be happy about getting it stolen back and while he is happy his daughter is still grieving over her dead boyfriend. Everyone in that room knows Patrick's daughter was murdered so it's believable when his rage ends in him grabbing the painting and throwing it into the fire (here he also channeled his emotions which is an EE and acting skills feat). He did the whole first bit to trick Lisbon and get an honest reaction out of her. He did all of this to confirm his suspicions that Caids art advisor was in on it since even Lisbon and Caid himself got a reaction while her the woman who's dedicated her life to art is watching a supposedly 50 million dollar painting get thrown in the fireplace. Only way that could happen was if she knew it was a fake all along which would only be possible if she knew the painting Arlov possessed was a fake from the start which was the truth since copies were made in order to be sold to Arlov and she could keep the real one to herself.

Lisbon acts crazy waving a gun around, he knew the therapist would try to manipulate her and slip up on something, something he would only know because he would provide imagery since he's a lapsed catholic. He knew he drugged her which he knew she would conceal about her not knowing what happened he also knew she was drugged since she couldn't remember even under hypnosis. He knew the person who paid Dr. Carmen was Howard since he had motive to frame and discredit Lisbon, that way her testimony can't put him behind bars.

Remembered one of the prison guards was asking about mice when his friend called him paranoid. He used this later. Firstly he used the blueberry muffins and left some in the bag, ripped a little bit of fabric from the bedsheets, tied it to a book on the opposite wall, so that when a rat went inside the bag to get some crumbs he could tug on the book and trap the rat in the bag, rat acquired, from here he had his cell mate start yelling “man down” as he pretended to be unconscious. From this he was laid out on a stretcher and pickpocketed some keys from the guards to let himself loose of his restraints, he then started pretending to be out of breath to lure the prison guard who was afraid of rats to his hand which, well, contained a rat, this made him back away into a room he felt was safe since he was so afraid of them. He then got up and closed the door on the man putting the rat in there to keep him occupied and buy him some time. In the meanwhile he stole a guard jacket and walked right out through the front door. (He remembered the layout of the building as he was brought in). He did this to pursue a lead he thought might be crucial, he visited the Gerbers house claiming he already had the killer which was a bluff to get in. As such he calls the CBI asking them to send in the sheriff which he can do since now that he's broken out of jail he is a wanted man and they would want to send a man to him whether they like it or not and by the time they are there he will be able to prove it. First he started by asking Donna how she felt about her brother beating up her husband for some money, she obviously responds with her feelings of regret for letting it slide, he does this to capture everyone's attention or at least that of Donna and Dooley, when the body was discovered they found some glitter on his face and at the jail there was some of the same glitter on Dooleys face meaning they have both been in close contact with the same woman who likes to wear glitter, which fits Sandrine. Since his previous question captured the attention of Donna and Dooley they paid close attention to what he said and from which he could grasp that neither of them knew about the connection between Sandrine and Kirby, which means he was considerate, considerate enough to tell her about him wanting out of the affair before actually doing it to start a new life with his wife. This fits the profiles of both Sandrine and Kirby since Sandrine was bored and frustrated while Kirby was available. He did this while everyone was watching Sandrine freak out defending herself, rightfully so after all a man just came in and summed up exactly why she killed him. So he adds some more pressure onto her by bluffing, saying that the glitter found on Kirbys's face was absolutely covered in her DNA (emphasis on covered and the certainty of DNA, note that Jane thinks DNA is overrated but it adds to the farce), the sheriff's started approaching looking for Jane, but in Sandrine’s mind this reinforces his bluff that they are coming to arrest her with the loud sirens blaring. He tells her that she should be honest with her family because she might not see them for a while. He walks away knowing that all of these accusations might not get her arrested right away but there will clearly be a lot of family tension in that moment. Pushing her to confess in front of all those people. Now this plan has a final cherry on top remember that third note the “random feat” that was also part of the plan. He planted that seed in her mind and made it sprout by having him be the key witness to this confession. Lisbon wanted to teach Jane a lesson, but not so much that she'd let a murderer walk for it and we all know that she knows about Bosco's crush on her. So she's forced to ask him to drop the charges on Jane and we know that works one way or another (it ended up being due to blackmail). Which was supported even more by when Jane emphasized that he was NOT backing down and was NOT learning any lesson, additionally he knows Bosco won't bend his principles over love so Lisbon must have had something more concrete like blackmail, Bosco wouldn't do drugs or anything of the sort so something violent, he hurt a bad guy and Lisbon figured it out but didn't talk. He presents this to Lisbon as if he had just figured it out but I personally think it was planned, he literally contradicted himself, as stated in point three he allegedly thought that Lisbon asking would be enough since Bosco loves her but later he reveals he knew Bosco wouldn't do such a thing for just love, so why would he say that he thought so all the way back in jail? Why because he had to plant the seed of asking Bosco in her mind but directly asking her to blackmail Bosco would have turned her away, think of what would happen if Jane directly said “blackmail Bosco,” as to how he knew all along Lisbon had blackmail material I'm certain it was simply one of his high probability guesses which is what Jane does best, Bosco is the kind of guy to get violent at a particularly heinous criminal, and Lisbon used to work with Bosco for a long time. It stands to reason she most likely has dirt on him of some variety.

Intentionally started a fire as a distraction then he put a bit of the pepper in the food, when they noticed the hit in it, they asked why it was spicy and Jane said he added the pepper from Julia's pantry, anyone other than the police is unaware it is poisoned so the killer would show a much stronger reaction than the others since they think it's poisoned.

This was supported by how Eliza's restaurant failed, she tried to leave but was struck down, Jeffrey needed Eliza to run his kitchen so he asked Julia to do something Julia asked her senator father who squashed her liquor license leading to her failure so Jeffrey actually called her that day to apologize so she pretended like she accepted the apology and poisoned both.

Neat musical intelligence feat, I'm not writing all that so credit to Yildizya, “This type of talent requires a high level of skill known as “playing by ear.” Patrick Jane’s complex melodies, harmonies, and rhythms must be instantly processed and reproduced on the violin. This requires not only technical proficiency, but also a deep musical understanding. Harmonizing with the group requires Jane to pay attention to many factors at once. he must be able to instantly perceive and respond to tempo changes, dynamic differences, and nuances from other musicians. It also shows that Jane has a good auditory memory. He must be able to analyze complex musical structures she hears and reproduce them on the violin. Harmonizing to a slow-tempo piece may seem easier at first, but it actually presents its own unique challenges. In slow-tempo music, every note and interval becomes more distinct. This means Jane must execute every sound and transition perfectly. Any errors or dissonances are much more noticeable. Therefore, Jane needs to pay close attention to tone quality, intonation (the musician’s ability to direct and tone the voice), and expression. Slower-paced music often has longer notes and ornaments. Jane needs to understand how to hold these long notes, how to use vibrato (an important technique used in music to increase emotional expression, enhance sound quality, and increase the dynamism of a performance), and how to make transitions. Every violin is unique and has its own characteristics. Factors such as string tension, bridge height, and soundboard quality affect how the instrument responds. Normally, a violinist is familiar with their instrument and knows its characteristics well. Jane’s adaptation to a new violin is also impressive. He needs to understand how the instrument responds, how much pressure to apply, and how to use the bow”

Knows that the man robbed a cash in motion place with a bomb, he was pointing and had crazy and angry eyes (premises), firstly he deduced the real objective was the client list and the theft was a misdirection since they could have stolen much more money within the timespan, he learned the victim stopped at the gas station but never activated the pump. They found a scavenger hunt, with something in the bathroom wall. Once he saw Lisbons bomb he realized the bomber could have communicated with Dinkler directly there would be no purpose to the scavenger hunt message in the bathroom.

He hypnotizes the man to sleep under the guise of helping since he inferred he had trouble sleeping so he could peek in the reminders thing he kept and artificially plant one in there which he would not suspect since he is used to not remembering things, he wrote that Lucy gave him a key when she died and grasped his hands (which he did remember), and placed a key in the room for him to find. They then show it to all suspects and see who recognizes the key, it's a medics locker key, which he knew the girl would recognize. He posits the idea that she might have stuffed something in there that incriminates someone, causing her death. He knows these military men would go by the book and wait for a warrant to search the locker, giving the culprit a certain window of time, he had Rigsby pull the fire alarm removing everyone from the building providing the killer both a window of time and the opportunity to eliminate a perceived threat that could incriminate them

Went to see the episode and noticed the fact that there were some shoes he didn't recognize from the images of her closet, he went to buy some shoes for Van Pelt to try on. He had Rigsby and Grace appear on the show knowing they had problems communicating and that their relationship was messy in order to show off everything to Buddy, knowing that's what he goes for, he also had Grace try on the shoes knowing that he has a foot fetish, he has Rigsby walk out pretending It's for work baiting him in, he has Grace rip off the heel part and pretend to have fallen and broken her heel, all the while they had Van Pelt wear a wire. Knowing he couldn't resist the feet. He knew Buddy hat a foot fetish due to the fact Missy was shot in the foot and coincidentally the shoes she was wearing were missing the same shoes she wore on the show, he gets manicures at the salon meaning he liked to watch women get pedicures. Breaking the shoe also gave Buddy the chance to bring out some shoes to replace hers, like the ones that the victim was wearing, when in reality the killer was Buddy’s spouse so be was a bit wrong but close, his fetish did have to do with the murder and it made sense so it's still a feat

Immediately saw through Cody as the killer, asked to see his guns and grabbed a loaded one, he instantly inferred that she was leaving him she grabbed her stuff and her ring and put it on the table and left, he got mad and killed her, he then tried to put her stuff away but did it poorly like a man putting away a woman's things, he's sensible and wouldn't just throw that stuff away, so instead he buried it, somewhere close like the garden. He explained all of this in front of Cody after asking to see his guns to bait him into exposing himself by taking him, Jane, hostage; he ensured his safety by adding some peanuts to the gun chamber when he had it in his possession

Inferred he felt as though he dishonored himself, and also connected it to the fact he was trying to impress someone to say he confessed to a woman and was likely declined. There was only one woman involved in the case and that one looked like the hooker Titus hired. Also due to how secretive everyone had been about the redbird project and some deaths revolving it he inferred the project itself caused the deaths and since he is obsessed with honor as a samurai fan he couldn't live with it and was going to either talk or kill himself. He likely informed the lady of a suicide note he wrote on his computer which is why it looks like the computer files had been cleaned five or six times because even though he had killed himself the note was on a computer that had details about the project, so she had to delete everything on it to be absolutely certain. So they bluffed about having recovered some numbers which their competitor allegedly claims proves some flaws in the project saying they can prove the cover-up, when in truth the numbers are mere gibberish, and the lady claims that's impossible because she wiped it which is pretty much a confession.

Its from a thumb drive found in Bertram's wine cellar they never broke the encryption but he pretended that he did he blacks out the names the FBI hasn't arrested yet (the ones that weren't decrypted) and claims that he only will share the names when they agree to his terms which is why he escaped in the first place, to get that list.

Almost immediately formulated an elaborate plan within seconds of being briefed. The key to this is to make the mark feel like they're in control. He describes it as roping them in with some flash, then steers them towards a couple of good inside men, a face, some art, and a false blow-off. He had his pick of some of the art in the divisions gallery, it needed to be stolen. He then left Wylie notes of what to do. The strategy included pinpointing the leader of the gang and to do that they gain the trust of Pulaski, a former member, they rope him in the bar they know he frequents by planting some bugs and cameras in the bar for Wylie to watch from the office, Abbott would be the roper since he inferred he knows about boxing which is a place to start building a rapport with Pulaski, Cho is the muscle and can practice some choreography with Abbott, Lisbon is playing the inside woman with Jane. Fischer is a face who lures Pulaski into the bedroom once he is at a planned party and then Jane and Lisbon take over. All of this was preparation and from this point on “the fun really starts.” The plan starts out smoothly with Abbott meeting him, he gives Abbott some general advice to get him to trust him. Don't give them something let them give you something even something small, Abbott interprets this as spilling a bit of his drink on himself and asking Pulaski for the napkin to make them subconsciously invested in them. He told Wylie to watch for him to let down any guarding behavior such as an arm between him and Abbott. Once Wylie has detected this he lets Cho know and he comes in, Cho had been previously prepared by having him planted in the bar and he then starts a fight under the pretense of Pulaski's laugh making him miss a billiards shot in the fight Cho throws a punch at Pulaski, Abbott punches back and then Cho pulls out a gun. Giving them an excuse to leave the bar and Abbott gives Pulaski a ride in a nice car pulling him to a party already prepared. He meets the face Jane and Jane pretends to be a pretentious guy saying things like “close but no cigar” and asking about zodiac signs. The outfits for Lisbon, Fischer, and Abbott were all chosen by Jane himself i should note. Fischer successfully seduces Pulaski into the correct bedroom where Jane is lying in wait saying that this was his bedroom and telling Kim (Fischer) to get out. The bedroom is decorated with a lot of art that he calls fake, which its not and it was in fact stolen and taken from the FBI’s storage, this baits Pulaski into making a call designating the house a target. Kim (Fischer) would then leave and that leaves Pulaski stranded there and when everybody leaves only one person is left, the person Pulaski called in. He made Pulaski suspect the art was stolen in multiple ways

He grabbed some drugs from his office in order to hold him overnight, bogus charges but it buys enough time for him to “prove Feinberg guilty,” the killer likely dumped the gun between his office and and the murder site and it might have some serial numbers and Cruz could not physically dumped it there and fit the time period, this makes the wife stay. He inferred the new wife Mae killed the wife since she had a romantic motive and it explains why she waited there for Cruz to be executed, she works at a clinic so she could have gotten the blood easily. In order to trick them he explained all of this to Feinberg so he would think this wife did this and they bugged their car so that they'd get a confession. How would they get a confession? They tricked Mae into thinking Cruz had already been executed which would essentially close the case, they did this by taking all things that could help them judge the time and adjusting all clocks and watches, they even had Wylie edit some news saying that Cruz had been executed. So that when Mae is relieved of this stress he can explain it to Feinberg, Feinberg talks about it with Mae in the car and the case is closed before Cruz is dead.

Stated that Vega was former military from her posture and when she told him that she never graduated West Point he first thought that she wasn't the type to give up on things so something stopped her. Probably her army father she mentioned also asked her to get the profile on Agent Geist. He noticed that Geist made his bed on the floor and slept with a nightlight so he asked her to give him the report to check for trauma, as a boy a kidnapper took his friend at a sleepover and killed him. After noting that Geist seemed to be afraid of something before his death. He used the fact that Tish wasn't saying anything to and put “pressure on her by revealing what he was doing and using an example of a guy who he noted has cocaine in his front pocket knowing that the harder she tries to hide it the easier it is for him to read her” before pointing to guns that were stashed by the FBI themselves and then publicly announces the killer is in the room He has Cho fire shots outside saying that Tish grabbed Vega's gun and then had Wylie break a bit of the window and herded everyone into a the killer/kidnapper would take the opportunity to grab a gun they stashed.

So he decided to meet with him and lure him into playing a poker game, at first he did it by pretending to be a horrible gambler and then by getting to know him through a honey trap with Lisbon, they set up a game then Wylie and Vega bugged the room and ensured the toilet wouldn't flush beforehand he lured all the same players in by mentioning he drops money really easily and is bad at poker. At the poker game he focused on learning everyone's tells rather than winning and then had Lisbon play the psychic gig, she “detected” that there was a murder in the room and that the killer was present she then proclaimed the killer is the one who has the ace but they all had an ace then he observes who is the killer from their reaction then he ensures McInnis is winning before pointing out the hidden camera then he tells Holiday that McInnis had been winning all night (thanks to his control) and that there's a camera there, so he likely had someone in another room feeding him information. He made sure the toilet couldn't flush so that when the killer has to use the bathroom they leave the room where Cho can confront them with the camera footage saying he's been caught for three murder and presenting the camera footage as if Jane was explaining the homicide to McInnis when in reality he was presenting the idea that he was cheating, he has Cho state that since Barnes owned Holiday lots of money he essentially cheated Holiday out of his money by killing Barnes. Cho then offers him the ability to confess and be protected or walk free and deal with Holiday.

Being imprisoned for killing a man he falsely believed to be Red John ensues a massive crap storm. So here he has to clean up after himself (counts as a part of PJ vs RJ since it's Jane bouncing back after falling into one of Johns traps) firstly, he gambled to make money for his own bail, secondly, he achieved a non-guilty verdict using said bail by finding a woman who Timothy kidnapped and abused. which he inferred from how he was part of an investigation with a missing local girl which is classic psychopathic behavior. She'd testify for him and he then shared his personal story in order to ensure the jury is kinder to him. There is also a bit of sophistry he emphasizes how Timothy just appeared from nowhere five years ago and how that coupled with his odd behavior could point to him being Red John. Finally, Lisbon suffered the consequences of Jane's error so he had to put the team back together again, just a little bit extra context he was put into another unit too. He caused conflict by suggesting to Tork (someone he pegged as insecure about his height due to his shoes) that Niskin thinks he's short indirectly, saying that Niskin probably meant nothing by the things he says, emphasizing his phrasing. He then asks Niskin about his height, asking If he's a similar height as Tork. Making him look in Torks direction and gesture around how tall his son is. From Torks position, Jane, a smart guy, pointed out a possibility of Niskin thinking such a thing and then Niskin looking at him and making a height gesture follows. He then left some heels on Torks desk, saying “try these for a lift” which Tork would assume was from Niskin and start a fight. Tork would be relieved of duty due to his violent outburst and so he would be replaced, by someone like Van Pelt. Now the team is 3/5ths of the way back, Cho was brought along by the boss himself in an effort to keep Jane in line. He went somewhere and the boss guy sent someone along to keep him in check, he continued his shenanigans after some simple hypnosis. He had all the original CBI group meet together to get Lisbon's job back, arguably the hardest part, to do that he decided to simply solve the case without the CBI. He started to share his ideas, he revealed that he thought since Kuzmenko was an athlete and kept records he probably kept a record of his many lovers, most likely with a rating system and they have to get into the house and find that record, this would be the story that Cho shares. This plan Is “interrupted” when Cho snitches. He used the hypnosis time window to create a forgery, he did it by copying down some of the victims client list and having Cho inform Kuzmenko, he predicted Haffner would be surveilling him so providing him the forgery would drop his guard a bit. He knew Lisbon would be forced to accept the plan since if she doesn't cooperate Grace, Cho, and Rigsby would all lose their jobs. They decided to use the “glowy spray thingy” to test a kettlebell belonging to Jocelyn in her car the gym owner, closing the case. Thing was, Ray presented Gale Bertram the big boss with the book that was forged, Jane had predicted that Gale would have to share the names in the book with somebody, meaning that when he discovers it's a fake. He just made a PR nightmare and clearly he cannot handle Jane, so he'd bring in somebody who can, Gale would not be very happy with Lisbon at which point Jane comes in and suggests he needs a healthy moderating force. Gale knows that he is referring to Lisbon and Jane continues to apply pressure to him suggesting that the problem, balancing the need for Jane's skills and the disaster that ensues because of him, would continue to haunt him unless such a moderating force is brought back.

Not really a part of Jane vs John but it showcased Jane's understanding of Red John. He tries a much simpler, more ruthless, trap to catch the San Joaquin killer when his normal one fails. Getting him killed, he does this by using Red John, he knows Red John is alive and that everyone including the SJK thinks he is dead. So he goes on live TV and says that the SJK will be caught soon and compares The SJK to Red John. Saying that if Red John was caught and killed the SJK can't evade arrest forever. Knowing that Panzer is very involved in his mythology Panzer will talk down on Red John suggesting the SJK surpasses him. Talking down to Red John on live television this has been done before and it resulted in Janes family being killed, a TV reporter being killed and Kristina Frye getting manipulated into thinking she is dead. It's never stated this was planned in this episode but it's heavily implied, Jane KNOWS John is alive and goes on live television which he hates and wouldn't do unless it's a trap. It's confirmed in episode 11 of the same season

Red John has sent a message through a little girl, asking Jane if he is ready to give up yet. He then firstly hypnotized the girl to not remembering Red John since he notes that people who can identify Red John end up deads which alone is not crazy but is a sign of him giving up. He then took the day off and burnt his case files on Red John. When Lisbon inquires as to what's going on he claims he's given up on the Red John case. Later on he says that his head is fuzzy and stuff, he pretends to stay on the CBI for amusement when he actually never gave up on Red John. Convinced the cemetery guy to let him use a coffin and dug out section by asking him if he wants to help take a bad guy off the streets. He acted intentionally insensitive, from the start he took the inhaler of a person being questioned under the guise of grabbing a hair and held it until he got the information he needed. He got Marx to confess by knocking him out with a shovel and putting him into the coffin, suffering the same fate as Castro heres where a baby monitor, of which he got the idea from Rigsby, comes In, he places the monitor inside the coffin in order to get the confession, he then acts extra sadistic telling Marx that he should just die if he doesn't want to confess and asks for details that could incriminate him since I'm pretty sure this counts as duress. Though the conviction wasn't really his primary concern, obviously Wainwright would want a word with him where Jane acts as though he did no wrong, he then provokes him more directly. Saying he's a child, he's not a daddy's boy since his father thought he was too soft so he's a mama's boy and tells him to go off to his mother, then insults him calling him names and making gestures, he did this to work his way down from a suspension to being fired for his act. After some time passes he makes sure nobody sees him meet Lisbon (he followed her) and he reveals to her he faked his breakdown to trap Red John. He's pondered why Red John hasn't killed him yet and he thinks it's because Red John wishes to convert him into his disciple, by pretending to sink into a deep depression he's offering Red John the opportunity to act as a white knight, an opportunity to convert him. In order to achieve this end he did the most possible, concealing his intentions from everyone for six entire months, he lived as a criminal, a con artist, a wanted fugitive, for that entire time, in order to sell the act he really had to hit rock bottom, which is why when Lorelei talks to him, who he already pegged as working for Red John, he acts as though he has the makings of a killer, reminiscing on the day he killed Timothy Carter, claiming that he actually doesn't regret it despite now knowing he was wrong, this unnatural bloodlust combined with the fact Lorelei thought that Jane didn't know yet convinces her he's ready to be converted. When Lorelai says that the only way to prove to Red John he changed is to kill Lisbon. He then pretends to have killed Rigsby and Lisbon as well and takes her with him, he has an excuse to do so since Lorelai said that Red John might want her body, he gets Cho and Van Pelt to play along. He used an unidentified male victims body to sell Rigsby’s death along with the acting of Cho and Van Pelt, so that when Lisbon disappears she is presumed dead. He housed Rigsby and Lisbon in a warehouse by using a poker debt the owner is unable to pay back. When Red John tells him to bring only Lisbon's head, he fabricates one with a melon and puts it in a box. This fails once the FBI found out this leaves him an important lead, Lorelei. He tried to get custody of Lorelei and he succeeded, he got the CBI custody of Lorelai by doing this

Slowly crossed out the people who might have taken Lorelai one by one using his lie detector talent. Once he located the man who helped get Lorelei he cold read him as still loving his wife despite the fact she broke his heart and being lonely and that he is tormented by sexual desires that he is ashamed of and he liked scotch. He establishes that there is no point in lying to him and asks him if his hypothesis is correct that the FBI blackmailed him into helping, held leverage due to a crime he committed. He inferred that Walter raped a woman, an inmate. He then asks Walter who contacted him, Walter answered that he was contacted on the phone by an FBI agent who called himself Nemo, which is latin for nobody. He then persuades Walter to share where he took Lorelei saying this is his chance to make things right, he had the police prepared to arrest Walter once he got out. Once he figured out where she was he just kidnapped her. He decided to break his cars window and open it so that when he uses a prison transport worker, who he got to go along with it by asking Bret Stiles a favor, to get Lorelei out she would assume that she was being bailed out by Red John and accept it, then Jane persuades her to come with him. He broke his car window so that when they naturally connect Janes disappearance with Lorelei's escape they would think that she kidnapped him and not the other way around. He sold this idea by acting nervous when a park ranger asked about him and he hid Lorelei to make it look like she had them both at gunpoint, he shielded this by choosing a motel room that has no TV to prevent Lorelei from discovering this. He gets the information from Lisbon that Loreleis sister wrote down a name into the floor before she died, Roy, an alias of Red John and her sisters death is what brought her to him meaning it was unlikely this was a coincidence. He had Lisbon fax the crime scene image to him so he could show it to Lorelei in an attempt to get her to talk about Red John, he also told Lisbon that he was kidnapped and didn't have much time to confirm the suspicions he Implanted. When they reach the cabin of Lorelei's sister he figures that the police will find it if Miranda bought it. Red Johns manipulation is too powerful and he can't convince her that he killed Miranda, however, he found a way around this by saying he will stay at the cabin and delay the police so that Lorelei can go see for herself if Red John killed her sister and when she does she would contact Jane. He has reason to believe this will happen since she compared Jane to Red John himself saying they are both relentless manipulators so clearly she's sick of being manipulated and will be more likely to notice any signs of controlling behavior from Red John. He tells Lorelei to take the fire trail and leave. He further fabricated his story by running the car directly into the tree.

The reason I believe this to be overlooked is because he is up against Red John who is a professional at abusing his connections within the Blake Association and otherwise like planting moles in the CBI, FBI, and other groups. The thing is that Red John is up against law enforcement which is public it is far easier to plant a mole in a group that is entirely out in the open than it would be if Jane were to try to plant a mole in the Blake Association, because the Blake Association is not only underground and more hidden but it's members are criminals who entered into a system of favors. The way the Blake Association operates is that someone does a favor for you, as evidenced by when Reede Smith confessed to killing a little girl while on drugs and it all disappeared, and in exchange you do favors for others and it operates on a need-to-know basis you only get told what you need in order to get it done, meaning unless you hold a very high position you don't learn much and the members are criminals who have something to hide which obviously complicates things like planting a mole, as well as the fact that if a mole in the Blake Association is discovered they would simply be killed. The other thing is that Jane already has effectively utilized his influence multiple times, when he blackmails LaRoche, uses Minelli’s connections, and gets Bertram to do as he wishes and put Lisbon back on the team. It simply goes unnoticed due to his opponent and the fact that his opportunities to use it are less abundant and when they do arise they slide under the radar

There is also the very real possibility that even without Jane forcing Red John to kill him out of self preservation that Jane might have predicted that Red John would kill him anyways, from Jane's seemingly perfect profile of Red John, he seems very arrogant. So he would want to show off his abilities to Jane, assert his superiority, which was backed by the list prediction and Red John's words alongside it. So after having faked his death and presuming that he deceived Jane he might have thought he has shown off enough and decided to finish Jane with this final trap. To do so he would try to make Jane desperate to kill Gale who he thinks that Jane thinks is Red John, and is also within a high position in law enforcement so he would logically also be high within the Blake association.

He was able to reverse engineer the methods Red John used to manipulate Rebecca and the reason why she was chosen from her disposition and an understanding of Red John himself rough childhood, sexual abuse, self abuse, self medicated, self loathing, everyone she's ever met made her feel ashamed, ashamed of some ugly darkness she kept inside of her, he didn't, he embraced it, made her feel proud of it and gave her life purpose and meaning and love. He cold read this from her (an EU feat itself ig) and understood this was the reason why Red John chose her and exactly how he went about it, showing an understanding of how Red John goes for his victims

In "Red Sky in the morning" he can infer that a murder was personal to Red John himself due to the break in pattern which he rarely does (him leaving his symbol with a sky artist rather than in blood like he usually does), he also predicts due to the fact that an elaborate trap was set for him (which he detected himself) that Red John would try to be there personally when Jane pretends as if he had fallen into it

Subtly manipulated Red John into not suspecting his pigeon strategy by playing on his delusions of grandeur, provoking him by saying that he is deluded prompting him to explain his influence in order to prove Jane wrong when the true aim of this was to avoid any suspicions by reminding RJ of how "great" he is indirectly (even more provoked by the control he has from having a gun in his hand), this provocation was done through explaining his profile of McAllister as an evil sexually perverted sociopath with delusions of grandeur and calling him a squalid psychopath

Jane himself quoted once, "I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of the pain that comes with dying." He's read so many books and studied Red John so well he could tell Wagner was lying about not knowing him from some criminal psychiatry books he knew had chapters on Red John in them so clearly he also knows Red John's modus operandi which is cutting people up slowly and Red John likes to see the fear. So he knows that if Red John does choose to kill him he will die a slow and painful death. Even in season one he was ready to lay down his life if It meant trapping Red John and closing the case.

He fuels his emotions towards the case by masquerading his own trauma and hiding it under a smile as he usually does, he plays off this sense of insecurity and fear by always acting as if he's smarter, through his manipulative tendencies and otherwise.

Let's also put into context the sheer vastness of the task he has been put against, he is going against a prolific serial killer who time and time again has hurt those around him and reminded Jane of how easy it would be to end his life. This very same criminal has many, many, many people working under him who he manipulates into doing his bidding and then kills before Jane can learn anything from them. This man has seemingly infinite police connections that on multiple occasions has lead to Jane's schemes being foiled.

He has an extraordinary interpersonal management feat of calming down a man who was accused of murdering his wife by his entire community for years and even punished himself because his last interaction with his wife was him dying, nobody believed him and when somebody who did believe him approached him that woman was also killed. This all pushed him into holding an entire building hostage and he calmed Crosswhite into surrendering all the hostages and turning himself into the police as one of the very hostages himself starting from a very low position of power. As for intrapersonal management in S7E10 He willingly walked into a house full of guns, keep in mind he has a very heavily implied fear of guns, offering himself as a hostage and he has to play it perfectly or else he gets shot, at this point he already has a relationship with Lisbon so he has a lot to lose, yet he plays perfectly, pitting the two hostages takers against each other with tactics improvised on the spot. The six month plan could be argued to be an amazing emotional management feat as Red John was stated via Rebecca to be able to “see right through people” in a fashion very similar to how Jane does, this is a premise for one of the feats here, you can connect this to Jane's aforementioned EP feats which are quite ridiculous. Lorelei was directly sent to Jane through Red John meaning that Red John likely knew about Jane's location even before sending her, it's logical due to how cautious he is that he wouldn't leave it solely to Lorelei to determine if Jane is ready or not especially if he has such an amazing ability in the first place. A part of Jane's plan was to be found by Red John in the first place, so it's safe to assume a solid portion of that time was merely waiting and that Red John found him a solid month into his hiding. This means he was acting so well that under constant surveillance of a person who has such an extraordinary capacity for perception for five months he still managed to convince Red John, as evidenced by Red John's words “you had me strung along for a bit” (for context he found out Jane was lying due to his FBI informant telling him Rigsby wasn't dead.) This is even more believable due to a feat he had where he controls involuntary body processes of his, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature to make more convincing performances, this even works under the influence of alcohol (as shown by the context of that episode)

I believe he did it in that way. We’ve seen Coroner Pat in this episode, who is obviously coroner and a friend of the CBI team. Coroners are people that work in morgues. So I believe that Jane convinced her to let him get the body and he asked her to bring it at some point. He probably told her about the plan, so she brought it to the office and dressed the body in the way that Rigsby dresses. And other people who are working and putting him in the car do NOT know what Rigsby looks like so they wouldn’t care and they put him in the morgue.

When the men found a hostage he decided the best strategy was to simply wait. The brother was injured and needed a doctor and Seller, the most ruthless one who shot and killed Vega, wasn't one of the two brothers meaning that the other two might be more compassionate and might act out of desperation for the injured brother, if Seller decides to simply let the man die that's even better because it drives a wedge between them and it's easier to conquer them. Then they monitored them through a bug in the pizza box. He decided to stir the pot when he heard the local news through the bug, likely their own story being covered and he then told a reporter about negotiations for surrender with the source remaining anonymous so that Seller questions what's happening and if the person in contact was trying to sell him out. When they are about to enter with the SWAT team he predicts that due to Abbott and Cho having a personal vendetta that there will be people injured he decides to mediate the situation himself by offering to be taken as a hostage instead asking for another of the hostages to be released instead saying three people is too many to manage. He then points out the other hostage, the old lady, is a diabetic and could go into shock, he then asks her how she feels and once she answers a little numbness In her feet he worries her by saying that could worsen such as a shortness of breath which would worry her, making her breath shorter, worrying her further. Its a cycle. He then tells them about the bugs saying of they feel the hostage is in trouble they will come in, the brother being more compassionate than Seller tends to the old lady with the added incentive of avoiding SWAT. Once he is alone with Seller he mentions that he's doing all that trouble just for $800,000, Seller knows that they only got $600,000 so when Jane claims that the official count was $200,000 higher he thinks that he was betrayed by the brothers who got more money than he thought this was aided by all the provocation of before, he knows that if Seller doesn't believe it the FBI who are listening in could take part by lying to the media about the count which would reach Seller he anticipated they could puzzle this out since he had performed a very similar tactic that very day, the news also makes the brother suspicious. He then inserts the wedge on the brother a bit by saying Seller kept going on about not wanting to go to prison. This results in a confrontational that went exactly as Jane foresaw, he knew he might die but kept on with it because if he didn't then Lisbon might have needed to go in.

Couple this with the fact that they are no longer cops with their alliances means they will go to lengths they wouldn't otherwise for Jane helping him shield his strategy in case anything goes awry especially since this is a very important and vulnerable moment for him, the moment he finally gets the revenge he had been seeking for all these years.

Jane also was never stated to have processed every single information from even one single monitor, let alone multiple. If you watch the entire scene, you’ll notice that it is sped up with people walking by rapidly. This means Jane stood there for a long time. He had enough time to understand the pattern of these horse races and at the end he ended up betting on all possible combinations of the top 3 choices as a shortcut. He bet 50$ on each combination and it cost him 5000$. That means he bet on 100 possible combinations of the top 3 horses. Which is not even that hard.

“-JANE ARRIVES AT THE TABLE NOW WE ASSUME THAT THE TABLE HAD ONE GAME ALREADY PLAYED SINCE THERE WERE 2 PLAYERS MEANS A MAX OF 8 CARDS COULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED UPON ARRIVING AT THE TABLE JANE HAD TO SEE THIS AND START CALCULATING THE PROBABILITIES RIGHT AWAY
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
“SO FOR JANE TO LAND A BLACK JACK HE HAS TO BUST THE DEALER AND OR LAND A HIGHER NUMBER OR A BLACK JACK WHICH MEANS JANE HAD TO CALCULATE ALL THE PROBABILITIES FOR A HIGHER CARD HE HAS TO CALCULATE ALL THE PROBABILITIES OF A 38 CARD DECK TO LAND A HIGHER CARD”
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
This is a confusing phrasing because he only needs to calculate one probability every time a dealer deals. Which means that given all the face up cards, what is the probability that the next card is going to be within the range that will let PJ win the game. This is one singular probability that needs to be calculated every time a card is drawn. This is also called card counting.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
The doc makes the same mistake in the next table game as well. I can’t stress this enough: computing possibilities do NOT help you make a decision, calculating probabilities does. And calculating probabilities is a simple formula. So PJ does not necessarily have a CPI high enough to do 90 billion+ computations using this feat.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
It assumes that PJ was computing possibilities even though it doesn’t help at all in the decision making. You need probability to make a decision and that can be done using simple formulae that don’t involve anything close to 90 billion computations.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
Given how Blackjack works, there is an element of chance involved, which means memorizing cards will not help unless you know the exact combination of cards inside the deck. The exact combination of cards can only be known by PJ if he plays at a table long enough so that the dealer has to reshuffle the cards. Then PJ can track all the cards that he knows and memorize their placement in the deck. Since we have established that time isn’t an issue, PJ can easily wait a game out, observe all the cards and then win money. All he needs to do is survive till the deck is reshuffled. That can easily be done by card counting. PJ also has exceptional cold reading abilities and computation skills (calendar feat) which when paired with probability assessment or card counting can give him a huge advantage over the dealer.

Lastly, the memory recall works by walking through the designated route of each memory. Which means that for each memory there should be a very specific path set and “walked” every time to recall that memory. (Source: It involves imagining yourself placing pieces of information around a room and then visualizing yourself walking back through to pick the information up.) Now that we have established how it works, let’s move on to the next section.
Source: Part 1: Memory Palace Scope & Debunk
Like I have already explained above, PJ does NOT need to compute all possible outcomes or possibilities to decide whether to hit or stay. Computing possibilities is completely useless because even if he does that, can’t know the exact combination and can’t control the deck. So at the end of the day, he needs to either memorize the exact combination in the deck, which is only possible if PJ plays a game till the dealer decides to reshuffle and then tracks that reshuffling. This is completely possible because we don’t have the timeframe of how long PJ played the game in his first table. Or, if he hasn’t memorized yet, he can simply use card counting or calculate probability in his head to decide. Which is nowhere near as hard to do compared to computing all 90 billion possibilities. So this is a needlessly high ball interpretation that doesn’t even make sense. That’s like saying I have computed all 1024 possible outcomes of flipping the coin 10 times. That doesn’t help me win because at the end of the day you need to know the probability of the coin toss being in your favor. And you don’t need to compute all 1024 possibilities to do that as shown in my example in the prior section.

As discussed in part 1, PJ encodes all cards within vivid living creatures in his memory palace.
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
Based on observation, I am assuming while shuffling, the dealer cuts the deck and puts the bottom half on the top of the deck. A single cut takes one second to perform. So every second the deck is cut and rearranged once. Which means the position of every card in the deck shifts once every second. Based on how PJ describes his process, he makes changes in his memory palace in 52 positions every second. Even ignoring the level of detail in visualization, just the changing of position taken as a single operation, will yield around 52 Operations/Second.
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
Patrick keeps track of 52 locations and characters vividly in his memory palace. Theoretically speaking this is beyond the capabilities of any human. However for the sake of calculation, let’s assume it is 52 pieces of information tracked for the entirety of the game.

Jane can recite all works of Shakespeare in chronological order.
Source: Part 6: Fugue in Red Analysis
There is also a possibility that he processed all of this while sitting on a bench (PSI) but not only is the timeframe unknown, Jane likely doesn’t even need to process all of Shakespeare to infer that he has them stored in his MP.
Source: Part 6: Fugue in Red Analysis
So, as I said in the context part, Patrick guessed the dealer card BEFORE she finished shuffling. Like 1 second before, when she did the final shuffle. Because Van Pelt didn’t play with them - she doesn’t know how to play poker and what’s the most common way of shuffling among people who don't know how to play card games? Right, overhand! And also we were shown the last second of her shuffle and yes, she was shuffling by overhand. Overhand is when you take a part of a deck and move it to another part of the deck. From watching the scene, I counted 2 shuffles in the last second, which means Patrick had to move 76 cards in his memory palace per second & had to hold 38 cards in his memory but also their positions in the deck, so he had to hold 76 objects. Also Patrick knew the whole deck before she started shuffling because he was able to name 2 cards in the deck and he didn’t even look at them.
Source: Patrick Jane poker feat analysis
It means the average person’s PSI is 1.796 operations per second. Now, let’s calculate Patrick’s PSI. Patrick moving one card around his memory palace consists of 8 operations: perceiving the card, associating it with the symbol, associating the position of the card with the exact place in his memory palace, finding the symbol in the exact place, removing it from there, associating its next position after the shuffle with the place in the memory palace, finding the particular place it’s supposed to be in, putting it there.
Source: Patrick Jane poker feat analysis
76*8=608; Patrick’s PSI is 608 operations per second. Patrick’s WMI is 76 objects in the head, while the average person’s is 4±1. 76/3=25.333; 76/4=19; 76/5=15.2; Let’s count how much higher his PSI is than the average person of his age’s PSI. 608/1.796=338.53; Patrick’s PSI is 338.53 times higher than the average person’s PSI & Patrick’s WMI is 15.2/19/25.333 times higher than the average person’s WMI. Also the memory palace feat is very good for VSI since he in detail describes symbols he associated the cards with.

This is further supported by what Jane said to Bosco “Red John doesn't make mistakes he leaves breadcrumbs.” He predicts that there will in fact be multiple suspects with this tattoo since at this point he had already connected it to the Blake Association.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
This means he also might have had a connection to Red John, these two names as well as many others in law enforcement (Brett was forensics and Todd was a cop) who Red John has held in his pocket lead Jane to suspect the existence of an organization such as the Blake Organization, a secret society composed by members of law enforcement that cover up each other's dirty deeds.

He knows that from this very meeting one man will be framed and as such he can narrow it down further by eliminating the man who has been made to look like the perp.

He revealed this after provoking McAllister to get him to talk about how grandiose he is and saying that Jane has no clue how he performed some of his tricks, so that when he asks to show him something it is only after he's already gloated a lot which makes him feel more powerful and in control.

His inferences began the moment that Kira Tinsley was found, he combined this trace with the oddities in Red John's behavior (killing Brett Partridge, thereby narrowing the list) and concluded that Red John intended to frame someone, Gale, and use that to kill Jane.

Patrick Jane FSIQ Debunk & Feats Intro
Source: Part 1: Memory Palace Scope & Debunk
This is completely false, because as explained above, PJ had way more time than the proposed 2 minute timespan. It is possible that he lost a few games in between. So this assumption is baseless.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
There is nothing PJ can memorize currently because all the cards that have been dealt with aren’t available, and the rest of the cards are being dealt out of a shoe as shown in this scene:
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
Which means other than all the cards dealt, PJ has no idea what the deck has. So nothing to memorize yet. He can only memorize cards once the dealer decides to reshuffle all the cards in the shoe, in which case PJ can track and know EXACTLY where each card is, which removes any need for making any calculations.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
“JANE HAD TO KNOW THE POSSIBLITES FROM THESE 16 CARDS WHICH IS 20922789888000 OR ROUGHLY 90 BILLION+ POSSIBILITES NOW THIS IS AN ISANE FEAT IN PSI WMI MEANING HE HAD TO CALCULATE THIS IN 10 SECONDS OR LESS”
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
“LATER IN THE EP JANE EXPLAINS TO CHO HOW HE MEMORISES THEM NOW THE QUESTION MAY ARISE THAT IT CAN BE CARD COUNTING BUT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT JANE DOES CARD COUNTING IN ANY EPISODE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES HE DOES CALCULATION IN POKER AND BLACKJACK”
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
Nowhere in the show is it stated that he calculates possibilities either, so that also be discarded. Just because it is not stated doesn’t mean we can’t use the most likely assumption that he used some form of card counting in conjunction with memorizing and cold reading. Computing possibilities is completely unnecessary, useless, and baseless. PJ never states he calculates anything for that matter.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
“ALSO IT IS EXACTLY STATED BY JANE HIMSELF THAT HE MEMORISES CARDS AND DOES NOT COUNT HE MEMORISES WHILE CARD COUNTERS DO NOT NEED TO MEMORISE CARDS THEY ASSIGN POINTS TO EACH INDIVIDUAL CARD WHICH IS OPPOSITE TO MEMORISING CARDS LIKE JANE STATES SO THIS IS ANOTHER REASON AS TO WHY JANE IS CALCULATING THE POSSIBILITIES
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
It wrongly infers that because PJ said he memorizes cards, that must mean he doesn’t use any form of card counting. It is completely possible that PJ uses card counting until the deck is reshuffled and then memorizes the cards to win every match afterwards.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
In this section I will give my thorough analysis of the Blackjack feat from Season 1 Episode 6 of The Mentalist. Later I will give you my conservative estimate of the feat and all the subcategories that it buffs for Patrick Jane.
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
And like I explained in my debunk in part 2, the duration of the games in the first table can’t be determined as the cuts eliminate the possibility that the in-universe time is equal to the time between 3 cuts. Therefore, PJ had enough time to do this feat.
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
PJ was accused of cheating, which usually means a high win rate. Since PJ wasn’t accused of this until he won 250,000$ at the second table, it can be assumed that either he had a lower win rate at the first table, or the casino has a limit of money after which they accuse anybody of cheating. A combination of both can also be possible.
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
PJ joins the first table that uses a shoe => PJ uses card counting and cold reading to win enough money to get 1000$ chips=> PJ joins second table that uses a single deck most likely => PJ survives till the next reshuffling and memorizes the placement of cards => PJ wins all games after that till he gathers 250,000$.
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
We also know that PJ was blindfolded AFTER they reached their destination where they performed this feat. This can be seen in the pictures below. All three pictures below are from the same position where PJ started driving.
Source: Part 5: Blind Driving Feat Analysis
PJ states that he will steer by feeling Mashburn’s reactions.
Source: Part 5: Blind Driving Feat Analysis
I will be debunking this feat used from Season 3 Episode 5 of The Mentalist. Apparently it is used to argue that PJ has Monitor Hax. It is very easy to debunk so most of this doc will simply be pictures.
Source: Part 7: Monitor Hax Debunk
Lastly, here you can see that out of the 14 monitors shown, there are only 6 unique footage shown. Some footage is shown on multiple monitors, so Jane only has to watch 6 monitors at most.

In this study, 30-34 year old male people’s average amount of symbol digit modalities test was 53.87 in 90 seconds. I picked 53.87 because Patrick Jane was 34 in season 1 of The Mentalist.

Patrick tells him via baby monitor that if he’s not gonna admit to killing Castro, he won’t let him out and he’ll die, so he’s torturing him. Marx admits it, Jane says where is the trophy and tells where he kept the trophy. Patrick tells Lisbon where it is and he tells her where it is.

She asks Patrick “Magic, huh?” Patrick tells her that he’s not a magician, that he’s a conman and he steals from people. She starts to laugh and gets surprised and says that it’s like he’s saying that it’s not a big deal. Patrick knows it’s her.

From all the information previously provided he inferred that Archie Bloom lit himself on fire after handcuffing himself even further supported by the fact the handcuffs were his own father's and he left clues to make each one a suspect.

He then explains to Wainwright he could easily solve this by waiting for him to try to commit mass murder and stopping him in order to put him away for life.

He detects the home lacks “a woman's touch” which seems to make sense given the fact the couple are estranged.

He then notes the fact the divorce papers hadn't been signed yet and predicts he is headed to his wife's place of employment.
Source: Ring around the Rosie
He anticipates that Wainwright at this point had enough and was ready to double down on the counseling approach.

Wainwright takes Cho and Rigsby, Lisbon herself has been shown to be biased in this matter because she dismissed the other person who was a suspect in the killing because of his music. Not exactly the most unbiased. Jane and Van Pelt had already shared their views leaving the two boys to give Wainwright a hand.

In the poker analysis, Jane is described as tracking a 38-card remaining deck while Van Pelt shuffled for about 11 seconds, guessing Cho’s and Rigsby’s hands and the dealer card without looking directly at her.

Inferred that the motive was due to a ruby necklace, one that was stolen from her mother, she was broke so she likely stole it and then she got it from her parent so she felt bad. She likely felt bad about it so she confided in somebody, the reporter lady said she read a letter from Charlie written in Spanish saying “lo siento” meaning sorry, likely apologizing to the service lady who spoke spanish who took the fall when Charlie's mother didn't think it was her who took it, and she didn't have it because the killer stole it.

Inferred from a rehearsal and how one of the girls sang that underneath her sweet tone she had a bit of anger and envy directed to the victim and she might have had the chance to replace her giving her motive, but he doesn't think she has the strength or stomach to push someone off a balcony. Another girl, Mandy, is perfectly capable of murder and she might have motive but he is unaware if she has enough passion to commit murder for it. Finally the guy, was very pitchy, which is his only comment on him. He inferred all of this of each one individually from how they sang while they were singing the same song, together, at the same time and attempting to match pitches.

Which leaves the seller inside Cartesian. Whitaker works in Cartesian and Lisbon shared previously that Whitaker had been asking around about industrial espionage meaning the seller was likely alarmed.

Out of these two options, I find the second one more believable because PJ was kicked out at the second table. This could be because his win rate was lower at the first table, which means he didn’t need to wait till the reshuffling to win 1000$ chips. The second option also takes less time as the wait for the reshuffling of a shoe can be very long.

He then left the victims car and a note saying that they should bring $50,000 dollars to the place they killed Lem at 10:30 or he goes to the police. He inferred the killer worked there since that model home particularly had no rug, it should have one since the other did and it would help the aesthetic meaning the killer used it to soak up the blood and why else move the body. So something probably went wrong at the company retreat. When all 3 of the best salesman appeared he inferred the motive, Lem was interested in the disappearance of a salesman, likely dead, so he told Bosh he got enough and he could go the other two would assume that Bosh cut a deal which was added to by Jane and start talking frustrated.

Decided to get in contact with all five suspects and gather them in order to take a look and see who has the tattoo, he does it this way because one at a time would alarm Red John. He contacts Reede saying he has information on Red John, he contacts McAllister bringing up the fact he said he was at his disposal and saying he needs his help, sent a message to Bret Stiles he had Lisbon approach Raymond and ask him for help he ensured Raymond would show up by having Lisbon threaten Ray saying that if he doesn't show up he would assume that Raymond is Red John and that Jane will hunt him he also had Lisbon ask Raymond to pass along the message to Stiles, he then sends Grace who he knows Stiles to be fond of to ask him to meet him, Grace fails so get Stiles so he tries to persuade him himself he doesn't this by threatening him and bringing up how close he is to Red John, when Bret reveals the FBI has the Ecuadorian embassy surrounded so he cannot leave he reveals that he has a method to get him out. He distracts the FBI by having someone drive as if he was Stiles getting smuggled out to distract their attention as Stiles sneaks on a flower truck. He then gets Gale Bertram with the lure of closing the Red John case.

He then went to media relations and reported a development in the Red John case calling Gale Bertram Red John in order to avoid tensing Red John by making it look like he thinks Gale is Red John, it would logically also place the CBI in hot water, given that they now had Reede's testimony against the Blake Association and that Gale the director is a criminal, so then his CBI unit would have to do something to save it, also by exposing a high level member of the Blake Association it forces Red John to act in self reservation, like setting up a meeting between Jane and himself

Inferred that the safe combination was a birthday since it was obviously cracked if he got the book so it was something easily guessed. Then perceived that a man was lying about nothing being stolen apart from the book, and then saw an indentation in the carpet meaning a file cabinet was moved in the search. So then there's the possibility that he had an accomplice, which was needed to move the cabinet, who took the slush money which was the motive, meaning they would have heard the song due to the protest and known it's meaning. He then went to meet the victims friends, the possible accomplices and played the cooperative song, London Bridge is falling down, to see if it meant something to anyone aside from it being a common nursery rhyme. He then lies about having a court order to get Wylie to make a search on the man that he suspected, he'll use this information later. The man who responded was the cousin/brother idk male family member was the killer. Something else was taken from the safe, something like a slush fund which could be a motive for murder, so then he had someone as an accomplice. When that song was mentioned he noted that man as the one who responded. So he had Abbott and another man orchestrate a situation where they surround him at a gas station with both of their radios playing the song, saying that he is the cooperative and stating that they know he killed him and saying that they're going to take revenge, then they looked at his financials and other records and presented this knowledge as if they had been watching him closely using this to sell the idea they knew where he stashed the money and took it making him drive away and check the money where they follow him and case

Inferred the detective's story was wrong because their alleged point of entry was directly across a public street while there was an easier way to enter and inferred from the crime scene pictures that had a pen and a half-finished crossword puzzle and the body was positioned near a place that she was sitting where she would hear an intruder, but if Raymond was the killer he could have pushed the screen out from the inside easily, the time of death was calculated by liver temperature and there was a fan pointed at her as if it was hot but the temperature outside was mid-70s. He compares it to cooking a roast, telling a story of how his aunt used to turn the oven temperature really high then put the roast in and turn it off so maybe he turned the thermostat all the way up, tells her it's broken and then once she's dead he turns it off cooling the room and Nicole slower which could make it seem like she died later than she did. The door handle looked like it was wiped clean but he wouldn't have to worry about it since it's his house so it is easily explained and he's too meticulous to have gotten blood on it so perhaps he could have wiped someone else's fingerprints, a woman's, a red light image taken after his wife's new time of death shows someone with him which might give him a motive

Kira Tinsley after being attacked by Red John described a tattoo, three dots on his arm. This is where the theory begins, with some premises such as Red John's behavior (killing Brett Partridge which would narrow down the suspects list even further) and the fact that this error (Leaking his tattoo) appears to be the sort of thing Red John wouldn't slip up on especially now when he is directly on Jane's radar, hence, this was in truth no error.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
So this tattoo, which he previously established as a deliberate cue, might be connected to such a group. This combined with the fact Red John, as a supposed member of this group would also have the tattoo make it a very real possibility that Jane banks on that there may be multiple members with that very tattoo in the suspect list, Red John's actions of narrowing down the list (via killing Brett) and the existence of this group leads Jane to suspect he might frame somebody since if the group were to be exposed the tattoo would incriminate them meaning they can't deny being Red John (as it would require them turning themselves in for other crimes). A perfect opportunity for Red John which explains every action, so this is the case.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
Now he can definitively conclude Red John was one of these three names. His choice of venue within itself was a contingency as obviously Lisbon, who was deliberately kept in the dark about Jane's suspicions of there being multiple tattooed suspects, would assume that there was only one man with such a tattoo meaning Jane, who showed her the gun he intended on bringing, would shoot down Red John, would kill him. She had previously expressed her feelings of wanting to stop him before he kills Red John and desire to catch the bastard the right way, so she wouldn't just stay where she is and wait for Jane to slaughter him so she would head to where the meeting is (Jane told her if I remember correctly, if not then it was his fucking house so it's not that hard to guess anyways) in order to stop him. This was in case he was wrong which would mean there was only one man with the tattoo meaning he either

He gets Reede to talk without immunity by pointing out the fact that they can just put him back on the street where he won't survive and he could tell Reede was not Red John because Smith confessed to murder which Red John would never, now they're down to two. Reede eventually turning himself into the police meaning he was being hunted by the Blake Association which means that he also couldn't be Red John since due to the officer not knowing about Red John, so Red John is high up on the totem pole which Reede was clearly not based off the fact he was being fucking hunted.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
But why? Why would Jane question Reede in the first place and tell Lisbon about the “Red John wouldn't confess to murder” bit when he already knew Reede wasn't Red John the moment he turned himself in? Two main reasons pop into mind

The neat thing about Gale being the one framed is that it allows Jane to implement yet another contingency, he went to media relations and reported a development in the Red John case calling Gale Bertram Red John in order to avoid tensing Red John by making it look like he thinks Gale is Red John, it would logically also place the CBI in hot water, given that they now had Reede's testimony against the Blake Association and that Gale the director is a criminal, so then his CBI unit would have to do something to save it, also by exposing a high level member of the Blake Association it forces Red John to act in self reservation, like setting up a meeting between Jane and himself, he anticipated Red John would do this through Bertram because Jane's actions force Bertram to comply with Red John's orders.

Red John would also likely want to meet Jane in person, Jane had already narrowed down the suspects significantly and Red John is forced to try and kill him, do he'd likely want to let Jane believe Bertram is Red John a little bit longer before revealing his trick himself, the trick that McAllister or rather Red John was alive the entire time which he is unaware that PJ knows.

He borrowed Lisbon's gun as a prop and got her to stay behind, he knew he would be searched for weapons meaning that Red John's guard would be lowered thinking he had already gotten rid of any danger he might face.

He also dumped Lisbon's car he anticipated would be bugged by giving easy access to some thugs who would obviously steal it and drive it around so that he could go to the specified meeting place unfollowed, he profiles McAllister as an evil sexually perverted sociopath with delusions of grandeur, he provokes him by calling him and squalid psychopath.

He explains that he deduced how McAllister survived the bomb, there were two explosions, one was a concussion bomb that knocked everyone out and the second was lethal and killed Haffner and Stiles only after Thomas dragged Jane, Bertram, and Smith out of harm's way, faking his own death would be easy, Brett Partridge was a part of the Blake Association and his job gives him access to the DNA database so switching his records with another surrogates DNA then he had the body brought to his house in the trunk of his car and he put it alongside Stiles and Haffner.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
To do so he would try to make Jane desperate to kill Gale who he thinks that Jane thinks is Red John, and is also within a high position in law enforcement so he would logically also be high within the Blake association.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
The fact that Jane predicted this is supported through his message that Bertram was Red John, which is later revealed to have been a lie due to Jane already knowing McAllister was Red John, this again was all an effort to deceive Red John.
Source: Season 6, Episode 5
I myself am of the personal belief that Jane may have followed this train of thought and predicted Red John would choose to frame Gale in order to create a sense of urgency by using Gale's backing by the Blake Association to make it appear that if Jane doesn't act quickly he would lose the opportunity forever, rushing him.

He was able to confidently determine Kristina Frye was wrong about Red John having killed his family because he felt Jane was "wrong about him" but rather Red John was angry that Jane acted as if he knew him with psychic powers however we do have breadcrumbs to infer how Jane knew, I'll explain using a quote from Red Johns note to Jane in the first episode "If you were a real psychic, instead of a dishonest little worm, you wouldn't need to open the door to see what I've done to your lovely wife and child." This should explain itself

This also proves that Jane’s MP works exactly like real world MPs. Therefore specific information = specific locations/objects/living beings. He goes on to demonstrate by encoding each name out of the 67 alumni and their accomplishments into a single object. Which would mean that the entire information about all 67 alumni can be encoded within 67 objects inside a few rooms (since Rigsby probably won’t have a massive MP starting out).
Source: Part 1: Memory Palace Scope & Debunk
I would like to point out that Jane absolutely does NOT need to keep visualizing his entire MP while he uses it to memorize cards. He just needs to visualize the locations of 52 separate living entities that can fit inside one or more rooms/tents (we know this because he asked Rigsby to memorize 67 names and their info inside one or more rooms). There is nothing indicating that Jane has spread all the cards in such a way that he needs to constantly visualize the entire MP (and no he doesn’t need to vividly imagine the entire MP just because the path between tents is out in the open. He can easily just visualize the paths themselves to trace his way), which if true would be very inefficient as proven by when he taught Rigsby the method. This would also be impossible as he can’t walk inside the carnival while visualizing in 3D the external parts of it that he shouldn’t be able to see(For example, you can’t visualize the outside of a tent if you are inside it). The doc further states:
Source: Part 1: Memory Palace Scope & Debunk
There is nothing indicating that only one game had been played. The more games already played would narrow down the remaining cards. So that makes this a highball interpretation. Also to note that the doc is claiming that PJ is calculating “probabilities”. This will matter later.
Source: Part 2: Blackjack Feat Debunk
“THIS MEANS THAT JANE EXCLUDING THE 8 CARDS HAD TO MEMORISE THEM INSTANTLY AND START CALCULATIONS ON WHETHER THE NEXT CARD HE WILL RECEIVE WOULD BE A 4 CONSIDERING HIS LAST GAME THE 3RD WHICH WOULD ONLY TAKE PLACE IN 40 SECOND MAX ALSO JANE HAD TO LAND BLACK JACKS IN HIS PREVIOUS GAMES”

It wrongly assumes that PJ won every game. PJ was accused of cheating AFTER he earned 250k. If he never lost a single game throughout, he would have been spotted earlier. A 100% win rate will attract attention way before earning 250k.

Depending on the methodology chosen Patrick Jane should be around 46.85x to 42.62x the PSI of the peak human. His WMI should at the very least be 5.8x the WMI of the average person. However given how his MP works, each detail would be treated as separate pieces of information visualized. This would make his WMI and PSI unrealistic.
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
In any case, this feat buffs the following subcategories. As explained in part 1 of my doc, PJ memorizes the cards by imagining vivid creatures in his memory palace. He places these creatures in his MP according to their placement in the deck and then follows the reshuffling. This would require him to at least keep track of 52 different creatures in his MP (WMI) while they are reshuffled by the dealer (CPI), and then remember them and make decisions within seconds while keeping his MP in mind (CPI), until he wins 250k (Memory, WMI). His MP also requires him to visualize these creatures and their immediate surroundings/locations in minute details (VSI).
Source: Part 3: Blackjack Feat Analysis & Conservative Estimates
It is quite easy to debunk the reasons that the doc has given. The doc states that just because Jane can recall most of his dreams that means it was a VSI feat. That is not true as it was drug induced and it would more likely be a general memory recall feat. It also states that those who can recall most of their dreams are known to have good VSI and intellect. This is correlation and not causation. We do not know the exact relation between VSI and dream recall. The articles here, here, and here, also attribute vivid dreams to a number of causes such as stress and mental illnesses. None of them have any mention of intellect being a cause specifically. Interestingly all of them also mention medications and drug usage as one of the causes of vivid dreams, something that Jane was affected by during this feat.
Source: Part 4: Dream Feat Debunk
Alternatively, if you want to consider the possibility that PJ did not get a good look at the venue, then he would have to interpret Mashburn’s reactions into directions (EP), convert them into a visualization of the venue (VSI), and use that to steer the car at high speeds (CPI).
Source: Part 5: Blind Driving Feat Analysis
A lower end of this interpretation would eliminate the need for visualizing the venue and instead interpreting Mashburn’s reactions as commands like “left”, “right”, “break”, “stop”, etc. This would be similar to you driving blindfolded while your friend gives you directions, and you simply trust those directions instead of visualizing anything. Since the method PJ stated involved only feeling Mashburn’s reactions, it is possible that VSI is not a core component of the feat.
Source: Part 5: Blind Driving Feat Analysis
On a side note, Jane has all works of Shakespeare in his MP that he also uses in another episode to catch a killer. This would classify as a VCI feat as well. And to know that his MP is intact he would have to visualize it entirely (VSI, WMI).

First, for Patrick to shuffle the cards in the deck, he would need to see how she's shuffling, but he wasn’t looking in her direction. It means that he either knew how she would shuffle or he has unrealistic vision, which makes his peripheral vision as clear as his central vision. I pick the second variant, you’ll ask me why and I’ll say because it is the most conservative version, considering that predicting a chaotic system is just unbelievably less probable than Patrick being a genetic anomaly. But that just contradicts his other feats, for example from 2x1, he looked at women with his central vision, but couldn’t he just see her reactions via peripheral vision if he ACTUALLY has unrealistic peripheral vision? So it has to be him predicting a chaotic system. But I, to be honest, do not like this stupid feat and just consider it one of those situations, when writers just buff the character for a moment. So I’ll leave it to you. You can either reject this feat, like I did, or you can assume that PJ has clear peripheral vision, which contradicts his behavior in 2x1, or you can assume he predicted a chaotic system. In any case - it is fine to take any of those interpretations.

Why did Patrick say that? So Lorelei would tell Red John about what Patrick had said and he would think that Patrick had almost completely mentally broken up because.

He tells Rigsby that there's a large pimple or melanoma forming above his brow so that he would touch his face. He knew that the test questions Wainwright told Rigsby to ask Tibbs could be tricked so in anticipation of this he added a bit more reason for Wainwright to suspect him by saying this, mimicking behavior is normal among most people, and face touching is one of the most mimicked behaviors so that he could point out Tibbs not once mimicked this behavior.

At this point he established that his wife is scared of him, he is living a life of failure, he's socially isolated, he owns firearms, his wife had recently left him. Jane knows that Tibbs is well educated and given his high position in law enforcement, previous actions, and disposition values the system quite highly and would take the regular approach to this and get him counseling and give him parole.

He incites a domino effect by suggesting that they add a stressor into the mix with Tibbs, incite him into violence, this is clearly something that Wainwright would vehemently oppose and as such would no longer hear Jane out and simply go and take Tibbs into custody because as Luther puts it “he's a sick man who needs psychological help” and as such wouldn't want to incite this man into committing a crime just to lock him away and would try to provide that psychological help.
