Hi, so I was wondering about something.

In the flashback episode 5×05, we see Jane meeting Lisbon. They shake hands for the first time. They both know about each other, but it seems like they haven't met directly before.

So, when Jane was interviewed for the RJ case, who conducted the interview? It couldn't have been Lisbon, right? Otherwise they would have know each other already. So, who did?

Also, was the case, once handed to the CBI, always Lisbon's? Or not?

And who's was the case when Jane was helping "the police" with RJ as he was pretending to be psychic (which he refrences in the pilot on TV)?
