So confused about the whole Lerelei in prison thing, help needed

[syd15]

So uhmmm, I think I missed an episode or something like that because I’m reallly confused about this whole Lorelei thing.

Or maybe I got it all wrong, it’s always a possibility.

Just, let me tell you what I remember so you can tell me where I missed something

They catch Lorelei, the CBI has her, there’s some fighting between the FBI and the CBI to see

Well, the way I understand it, all of the details weren't explained, but as far as I can tell, the FBI was hiding Lorelei in a federal prison away from Jane and the CBI, sort of off the books (but it would appear that Homeland Security knew). In order to do this, they replaced her with another prison named Lorelei Martins. This was to avoid transfering the real Lorelei to CBI custody. So, in order to talk to her, Jane needed to break her out of prison. Since the FBI certainly weren't going to give him access in prison, since they weren't about to confess to moving her in the first place. Then, when she escaped, Homeland Security was contacted, as trumping the FBI, I guess. And Homeland Security dude went to Lisbon, since Jane was the prime suspect, for obvious reasons.

How exactly the FBI, Homeland Security, and Red John are involed could be debated, but that's the gist of it.

This is oen of those things that I feel like you have to handwave a little with this show, since it is completely absurd.
