He points to knitting on each victim, saying they were done by the same hand.Montague predicts they'll get the Caveman's typical bad poetry in the mail soon.When Montague is out of earshot, Jane mocks.Jane and Lisbon head to Valerie's work, an online company called Agile Turtle.

Jane calls Lisbon to report the victims met on the bus.At the office, they confirm Valerie took the bus a lot.On the bus, Jane watches a teen get on the bus, give the driver something and immediately get back off.Montague tells Jane his methods seem like guesswork.Jane notices an older woman wearing a knit shrug and asks if she makes them. She opens a bag of knit items. Jane thinks they're similar to the ones the victims were wearing.Van Pelt finds the records of a driver who's been with the company for six months. His social security number is from a man who's been dead 15 years. She compared fingerprints and found he's Arthur Coffey and he has a long sheet, including for aggravated rape.He drove the victim's routes. He's driving Jane now.Jane stands up and addresses the riders on the bus. He asks about the victims or anyone else shady. No one says anything, but a woman up front eyes the driver.At the next stop, the driver gets off. Jane and Montague follow. He asks if they're cops and when they say they're not, he draws his gun. He starts to run, but Lisbon and the team pulls up and arrest him.Cho and Montague interview him. They busted him with coke. He was dealing.When they mention murders, he asks for a lawyer.As Rigsby watches cute Montague, Jane encourages him "he should."Jane tells Lisbon the driver isn't the Caveman. And he's sure the Caveman isn't the killer. He says he wrote the letter from the Caveman "to stir things up."He assures Lisbon it's all going to work out.Rigsby tries to chat up Montague in the break area. He flounders and Jane steps in to say Rigsby wanted to ask her out.At the candle light vigil, the director of the homeless shelter is there, encouraging people to speak up.Fernanda's cousin is about to talk when Jane steps in front of her. He announces that the letter was a forgery and someone is trying to make it look like the Caveman did it.Someone in the crowd notices blood by the flowers. Inside a hat box they find Montague's brooch, a kidney and another note, saying the profiler is dead and the copycat will join her at midnight.Jane calls Lisbon.At the office, Rigsby and Montague come back from their date. She's not dead, and wearing another piece of jewelry.He promptly asks her out again, but she says she can tell he's in love with someone else and it wouldn't work.They run into Jane, who tells them everyone else is out catching the killer.At the bottling plant, Fernanda's cousin and aunt scramble to pack up the office. A masked figure comes in wielding a crowbar. They think he's the Caveman and apologize for copying him.He takes off his mask. It's Cho.Back at CBI, they know that Fernanda took sodas to the homeless shelter, which is why Marty got sick, then Fernanda.The cousin admits they used glycol as a stabilizer and had a bad batch. Fernanda figured it out.The cousin admits they killed her.Then Valerie showed up a week later asking questions, so she had to go.Later, Rigsby watches Montague pack up. Cho brings him a soda.Montague finds Jane and settles up, giving him his dollar back. He returns the brooch. She says she enjoyed working with him. "It was bracing to have one's operating principles challenged so robustly," she says.She says his "chicanery" added "zest" to the task at hand.She asks how he knew.He says when they first met they were masking shame, not sadness.Jane also guesses that the Caveman isn't coming back and is dead.She assures him everything is numbers and gives him the model's results for Red John.He immediately recycles it. Then finishes making his tea and fishes it out.

Patrick examines his family and bridezilla Stacey Bonner's, which is richer and arrogant, except her pragmatic father, a wheeler dealer who bought a precious Bible and planned to read from it.
