Patrick (Simon Baker) arrives at his family home with a shotgun and prepares to meet the Red John suspects. As well as taking out another gun from a case. Lisbon (Robin Tunney) calls him telling him he's in danger and he can't do this without her. Someone opens the door.
Two days earlier Tuesday (hey that was today for us!)
Patrick in his trusty attic tells the others that he's going to invite the RJ suspects together and now he knows about the tattoo he can find out who RJ is. Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) asks why they don't just confront them and get them to reveal the tattoo, that's cos red John doesn't know Patrick knows. SO they set about luring the suspects into Patty's so-called trap. Reede Smith (Drew Powell) is at a hanging case and he tells one of the agents to get the DB's wallet as he's afraid of heights, thus showing us he's agoraphobic, just as mentioned in his meeting with Sophie Miller. A bit late showing us that now since he doesn't appear to be high up on the list of suspects, at least not my suspects! Patrick tells him he's made a breakthrough in the red John case and needs to meet him to talk about it, but not here, on Thursday, Smith reluctantly agrees and he'll be in touch with the place.
Lisbon meets with Haffner (Reed Diamond) for coffee and asks for his help with Red John, they've made headway and can't offer him protection against Patrick, if he doesn't turn up then Patrick will come after him, but Haffner tells her he's not afraid of Patrick. Then it clicks that she suspects him of being Red John, oh Lisbon you couldn't keep a straight face when you saw the comment coming. One reason why Patrick didn't want her to know of the suspects when he found out. He agrees to be there but only after Lisbon offers him a deal, a favour when he needs one and in his line of work, he'll need one eventually. Thought was either bold of her or rather stupid considering if he turned out to be RJ, what would he do with her favour. Thus crossing him off the list, darn and I so wanted it to be him. But refuses to tell her where Stiles is hiding out.
Patrick calls McAllister (Xander Berkeley) who is out hunting game and also asks to meet with him since he said he'd oblige Patrick with anything he needs. But why,a clever rouse to throw Patty off the scent. Jason Cooper (Robert Picardo) tells Cho (Tim Kang) and Rigsby that Bret Stiles (Malcolm McDowell) is preparing to enter a new spiritual plane, his body and mind are to leave this world and Rigsby comes out and asks he's dying, which Cooper thinks is rather crude. Stiles is shown performing a ritual with Visualize members, one involving blood and gets a message, "Patrick Jane wants to see you." Of course he ignores this as he's wanted by the FBI and Rigsby and Cho found out he came in on his plane and is hold up at the Ecuadorian Embassy. Lisbon sends Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) to talk with him since he's more attune to her.
Stiles finds she married that oaf, Rigsby and that she's changed when she threatens him with informing the FBI if he doesn't show up. As he tells her he's on foreign soil, which she should know anyway and besides the FBI would already know where he is. He refuses. Lisbon and Patrick get Bertram (Michael Gaston) to also agree to meet by telling him he knows who RJ is and of course Bertram wants to be there on the reveal, so he won't refuse his request.
Patrick picks up a gun from a man and yes it was a gun what else would it be and as Lisbon tells him, "are you sure it's big enough?" She wants to be there with him and changes her mind about Red John now saying he deserves everything he gets and doesn't deserve to live. Patrick suspects her of changing her mind a little too readily after twenty years of law enforcement. But he still doesn't want her there, she may get his way of killing RJ. Patrick sees Stiles and wants him to be there cos he's a suspect and if the FBI is the only thing holding him here, he figures out a plan to get him out of there by using his car himself. Yes FBI, Stiles is going to use his own car to get our of there! No, instead he's taken to a flower truck and Patrick texts all the suspects the location of the meeting.
Thursday he drives to his house with Lisbon but stops off to see the sunset and Lisbon joins him. He thanks her for being there for him and he should have done it a long time ago. "You have no idea what you meant to me, what you mean to me" and then grabs her to hug her to take her phone of course, but she doesn't realize what he's doing. Though I think the hug and what he said to her was genuine. As was many fans reaction, thinking there'd be a kiss there. He has a surprise for her and rushes to the car where he drives of leaving her stranded. Ah Lisbon you fell for the oldest trick in the book!
At his house he goes to the room with the smiley face and takes deep breaths. Before putting the shotgun in place as he gets his call from Lisbon. He then prepares himself and Stiles is the first to arrive, whistling the same tune as Bertram and Smith. He gathers the suspects and orders them to remove their guns as he accuses one of them of being RJ, which some of them seemed shocked about, McAllister didn't protest much. He pulls the shotgun on them and he will shoot them as he's deadly serious and tells them to show their left arms. McAllister has the tattoo and surprise, well not really, as Stiles tells him to look, so do Bertram and Smith. Obviously they're part of the Tyger conspiracy, but also one of them is Red John. SO he narrows his suspects to three.
Lisbon commandeers a car and arrives only to hear a gunshot and later witnesses an explosion. Patrick will be fine of course and so will Red John, but who brought the bomb along, or was it already planted? The look of terror on Lisbon's face. She could have had the agents stake out Patrick's place once she knew where he was headed.
As for the title, likened it more a reference to explosions rather than the wrath of God raining down, since well, maybe Patrick see that explosion, or not. Anyway good to see Patrick finally letting the others into his attic, though more could have been made of them actually being involved more, but Patty wanted to go it alone. Patrick and sunsets hey, first Lorelei and now Lisbon. Maybe and just maybe if something went wrong he wanted to tell Lisbon what she means to him, but she didn't see it coming.
As for the whistling, Haffner whistled when he was at the hospital, but it didn't sound like the same tune to me, perhaps a red herring. Stiles was wearing a vest but didn't roll his sleeve all the way up. Patty having fun watching them when he tells them to "take it off!" Ha. me thinks you enjoyed it a little too much. Then he left the guns lying around on the floor and someone may have had another concealed weapon, as these law enforcement officials usually do.
Kind of coming round full circle here as we go to Patrick's home once more as in the pilot. That time he found his family and this time he's here to find RJ and make RJ him pay in the same place he killed them, so it was rather poignant if not poetic. Also showing the game is on and almost up...
