While no details have been released regarding the plot of the episode, the title is a veritable red flag for the possibility that Patrick Jane's (Simon Baker) nemesis's identity may be revealed.
TV Guide recently revealed that Red John's true name would be exposed by the end of December. With the rate at which the CBI team is scheduled to encounter suspects, this isn't far from believable.
