"The Mentalist" Season 6 Episode 8 ("Red John") airs Sunday, Nov. 24 on CBS at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. Catch the live stream of the episode for free on Hulu or the CBS website the next day if you miss the episode Sunday night. This is the episode we've been waiting years to see and here it is! The CBS preview reveals: "Patrick Jane finally comes face-to-face with Red John, the serial killer he's tracked since the madman murdered his wife and daughter. For 10 years, Jane has doggedly hunted his nemesis in his search for justice."

"The Mentalists" Red John suspects have been considerably narrowed down over the last few weeks. And now it seems that viewers finally have an idea of who he might be: CBI director Gale Bertram. However, according to Red John writer Jon Harper, you shouldn't count your dragons before they hatch: "You'll have to watch and see, but with 'The Mentalist,' there's always another twist." We still haven't seen all the bodies from the explosion -- could there be another Red John suspect remaining?

Whatever happens, Season 6 Episode 8 is sure to be an action-packed episode. This saga has been ongoing throughout the series and the writer's have done an amazing job of keeping up the suspense. And though I know we are all excited to solve this mystery, part of me is a bit sad to see it gone. The Red John mystery was one of the most exciting sagas on TV. What do you think? Check out the preview to tonight's episode below.

We can also reveal what is going to happen after Red John is dealt with. According to TV Guide, after this episode, "The Mentalist" jumps forward two years. The show's creator Bruno Heller revealed that after tonight, "In a very real sense, Jane is a happier person. A weight has been taken off his shoulders, and to that degree a weight has been taken off the show. So, it's going to be the same show to some degree, but it's going to be a show with less darkness at the edges, and more freedom to roam. Jane has more freedom and more of a sense of possibility and liberty."
