Recap -- The Mentalist 2.23 "Red Sky in the Morning"

Jane is panicked when he wakes up and he's plastic-wrapped to a chair. Wesley appears in front of him with a knife, and tells him he's going to get to die for the honor of Red John. He then seems uncertain about his speech, and turns to look at someone or something behind Jane and asks if he can "do that again". Jane seizes the opportunity and tells Wesley to do it once again "with feeling". He acts the part of director, and Wesley falters, more unsure of himself now. Jane guesses that Wesley is an unwilling participant, that his mother has been kidnapped, and that Ruth and Dylan are the perpetrators.

Ruth and Dillon are annoyed that Jane guessed their identites, and that he's ruining their masterpiece. Jane calls it a "cheap slasher film", but Dillon's excited that there'll be real blood. Jane says it took a real sicko to kill Marley, and Ruth gleefully confesses to the crime, saying Dylan filmed it all for her. They threaten Wesley, and Jane can't convince him that they're going to kill him no matter what he does. He raises the knife, but then suddenly a shot rings out and Dillon goes down. Then Ruth gets shot through the chest. Wesley is terrified, and a cloaked figure shoots him in the leg. He goes down.

The figure walks over to Ruth and chastises her for making a "cheap imitation of my work". He then shoots her again as she screams. Jane is terrified now, and he struggles so much the chair tips over. The killer walks up. Jane and Wesley are staring at each other, terrified. The killer picks the chair back up, and asks Jane if he knows who he is. Jane says he does, and we know it's Red John. He leans in front of Jane and he's wearing a hideous mask with deformed features. In a squeaky voice, he tells Jane: ""Tiger, tiger burning bright, in the forests of the night/ What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?"

He disappears, and Jane's just about to relax again when a gloved hand grips his other shoulder. Red John tells him that Kristina would want to send her love to him, and then he says "Roll tide" before vanishing again.

Days later, at CBI headquarters, Lisbon asks Jane if he's sure Red John didn't say anything to him. "Nothing," Jane replies, but it's clear Lisbon doesn't entirely believe him. We next see Jane lying down on his mattress at home, with the red smiley face above him, reciting the Blake poem Red John quoted.
