We will compare the Characters on the peaks. So the main question is what happens if Dexter meet Patrick Jane, 1)Patrick Jane is the epitome of a mentalist. He sees through people and understands their weaknesses and psychology. He caught an incredible number of murderers, robbers, and so on. But it is worth understanding that Dexter is much more dangerous and smarter, it is difficult to compare him with Red John due to the difference in approaches, as Dexter works alone, and blood John has created his own empire, but it is definitely possible to say that blood John is smarter, but how much and how this difference in intelligence will affect the discovery of Dexter varies. Next, the methods of law enforcement in different series are different, in the Mentalist, forensic scientists are mentioned very rarely and they are not part of the team, which is not the case with Dexter, and this is an important criterion.
If Patrick Jane gets into the Dexter universe, it will take much less time due to the more frequent interactions. It would probably take about 5-7 episodes with a focus on Dexter, while in the Mentalist series, it would be more blurred by other crimes, requiring about 9-14 episodes to suspect him (about twice as fast as in the Doux series). Catching Dexter in his own universe would be challenging, but it would be easier than catching Blood John due to Dexter's solo operation. Theoretically, if Patrick Jane can catch Dexter with evidence, which would be incredibly difficult, it would take about 1.5 seasons for Jane to do so. However, in reality, Dexter would not play with Patrick like Red John did and would simply kill him based on the first rule of the code. Important to say that if Dexter will make a mistake and investigation begins it will influence speed of Patrick suspension very much. So, the first option is ready. The second option is if Dexter enters the Mentalist universe.
There are both advantages and disadvantages. Patrick is in his own universe with his team, but there is no contact between the detectives and the criminologists, which plays into Dexter's hands and can extend the process of identifying Dexter's identity over multiple episodes. We can also distance ourselves from Olaflin, as Patrick doesn't see him very often and only realizes that he is a bloodthirsty John's henchman after a third of the season. But he didn't really use his abilities, and he didn't know for sure, but Olaflin is an ordinary person, and it would be much more difficult and time-consuming to do something like this with a psychopath. I could give you an example with Bertram, but I don't remember exactly when he became Jane's boss, but he had more contact with Jane and lasted longer. My personal opinion is 1.5 seasons of The Mentalist, but again, it will be difficult to catch Dexter based on the evidence, but it will be slightly easier than in his universe, approximately 3-4 seasons of The Mentalist (69-92 episodes), but again, there is a high chance that Dexter will simply put Jane on his desk and do what he does with somebody like Patric.
But the most likely scenario is that they will team up, and Patrick will respect Dexter for saving the world from evil. Who knows, they could become one of the most powerful and unstoppable duos OAT
