Summary: Shawn takes an unsuspecting Gus to a crime scene where they find a man who has apparently overdosed on pills. Shawn, skeptical of the proclaimed suicide, requests to read the witnesses, but the only witness to the event was the man's cat. This is good enough for Shawn, who proceeds to haul the cat around and communicate with him psychically. Gus sees no need for their involvement in the case. Like Lassiter, he believes it was just a suicide. However, he grows wary when a second body is found, another supposed suicide. Shawn is determined to find a link between the deaths and prove that these people were murdered.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: When a forensics investigator is kneeling beside the dead body on the couch, in the first crime scene, the "corpse" is very clearly breathing.
DATE: When young Shawn (which takes place in the mid 1980's) is looking for the decoder ring, Henry tells Shawn he can get the 411 on the cereal company. 411 was not used in the 1980's.
GEOG: At the beginning of the episode, when Shawn and Gus are walking along with the street in the background, one can easily see a Vancouver tour bus drive by them. This is particularly notable because the back of the bus is emblazoned with a Royal Union Flag, the flag of the United Kingdom.
GEOG: (At 13:19) Shawn is driving Gus' car after leaving the crime scene (the second suicide with carbon dioxide). A flag pole with the Canadian flag is visible.
FAKE: Detective Lassiter unplugs the earphones from an iPod player to prove a point. "Up, Up and Away" is being played for everyone to hear, which is strange since no iPod is attached.
