Summary: Interim Chief Vick contacts Shawn and Gus about a very special case she has for them—she wants them to find her a nanny. Though reluctant to take the job, Shawn and Gus find Vick to be quite forceful when her anger is fueled by weeks of sleep deprivation. She explains that since they'll be working privately for her, they are not to take on any other cases. However, when Shawn discovers a string of burglaries taking place in a nice neighborhood, all in the middle of the day, he can't help but get involved.

Burton 'Gus' Guster: Look over there. The one in the overalls, she seems to be using reverse psychology on the ten-year-old, which is actually a pretty good idea.
Shawn Spencer: You know what's not a good idea?
Burton 'Gus' Guster: What?
Shawn Spencer: Pineapple and movie popcorn-flavored jelly beans.

Shawn Spencer: That's disgusting.

Season 2 / Episode 8: - Rob-a-Bye Baby

Shawn Spencer: There's this dark cloud surrounding you. It's starving your chi. Yeah, and down at the station I can see a raccoon with dark circles under his eyes... no, *her* eyes. Oh God, it's the chief. Chief Vick is becoming Chief Coon, and she's... she's lashing out at everyone.
Juliet O'Hara: That's true!
Shawn Spencer: Especially Lassie, who in turn is taking his frustrations out on you. Look, Jules, you gotta take your chi back. Take it back! And that means doing something big, something risky, something that'll help you blow this case wide open.

Shawn Spencer: Marry me, Juliet.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: Shawn takes pictures of the crime scene photos on Lassiter's desk using his Motorola RAZR phone, pressing the same button rapidly to take several pictures in a row. However, this particular model of phone requires the user to save and name each picture individually before being allowed to take another; it would be impossible to take multiple shots so quickly.

TRIVIA

'Levon Tostig', the name Shawn uses as an alias at the nanny agency, is a reference to the Elton John song "Levon" from the 1971 album "Madman Across the Water".
When Shawn is making Star Trek gags about the StarTek company, some of the Star Trek TOS sound effects from the Enterprise bridge can be heard in the background, most clearly in the near silence immediately after Lassie challenges to StarTek employee to explain how he would go about robbing the company's clients.
