I am very confused why Kristina Frye was left alive. Initially a phone message, believed to be Frye's voice, leads lead Jane and the team to a home where they find a doll and a Red John-style face on the wall...in Frye's blood...but nothing else. Later, through Bret Stiles, agents find Frye but she is catatonic. Patrick Jane believes he can only speak with her if he treats her as being dead and "pretends" to connect to her as Frye, the psychic, would...then Frye speaks for the first time. However, when Jane mentions Red John, she says she has no idea what he is talking about and she had no reaction to the doll that had been found. So, what was the point of it all? The only follow-up was a mention that Frye would be transferred to psychological services - a mental institution. This was the last episode credited to the actress that portrayed Frye. I don't get it. There is a stand-alone murder, which is solved, but most fans of the show wanted a resolution with Frye and some clue about Red John but there was nothing of value. I thought either Frye would be found dead or agents would discover she had been brainwashed by Red John. It doesn't fit Red John's M. O. at all so it makes me wonder if Bret Stiles is behind what happened to Frye. Maybe he feared a Jane and Frye partnership would put him at risk but it wouldn't be hard to neutralize Frye. The final scene of this episode shows agents heading out on a new case, as if everything that had just happened meant nothing. Pretty boring.
