Red John John is the fate that awaits us all in the end." In season 2's finale episode "Red Sky in the Morning", a William Blake theme is introduced, when a person, whom we believe at the time to be Red John, saves Patrick Jane from being killed under the direction of deranged slasher movie makers Ruth and Dylan. Jane is tied with saran wrap to a chair and, while he is immobilized, Red John recites the first verse of the William Blake poem "Tyger Tyger": <poem>Tyger!

The Sick Rose as well as any colouring not performed by Blake himself. The text has been republished in typeset many times, with slight variations, and is usually included in collections of the author's work.

The invisible worm, That flies in the night In the howling storm: Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy: And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy. </poem> Nathan Cervo describes the poem
