Weekend Warriors

Psych season 1 Episode 6. Flashback 1986, Henry is teaching Shawn and Gus how to play survival. To play the game you have to fight and if you fight you better damn win because if you don't win or use your brain then you lose. Henry says that losing is not an option in his troop. Then Henry launches a solid fuel rocket in the air and the boys have to find it but Henry takes a shortcut and finds it before them both. Present day, Lassie is part of the Civil War reenactment. Shawn and Gus come to watch the rehearsal and Jules comes along. While Lassie is making comments about the skit, he finds one of the guys dead. He had been shot by a real gun. The police are going to start an investigation even though they think it is an accident, but Shawn has an "episode" and says it is murder, so the chief hires him. Shawn goes down to the crime scene and talks to Lassie, but Shawn knows he is holding out because he doesn't want them on the case. Back at the office Shawn makes an exact replica of the replica of the battle field that they had in the police station, on the air hockey table. Then Shawn thinks a man named George killed the other man, but then he and Gus realize that he didn't do it the police come and arrest George. At the station Shawn tries to tell the chief that George didn't do it, and the shooter was much closer. But the chief said without a name she is afraid Lassie is right this time. So Shawn decides to become part of the reenactment with Gus. Shawn has costumes made for Gus and himself that are part of the civil war costuming. During the camping with the Civil War guys Shawn kisses a lady named Sally, during that time he fell of the bridge the same way Nelson Po, the guy who died, did. When he stopped rolling he looked up in the tree and saw where Po was shot from. Shawn goes to his dad pretending he lost the pocket watch Henry just gave him, requiring Henry to give Shawn the medal detector, so Shawn could find the missing bullet. When Shawn finds it he marks it with a pencil, and tells his dad he had the watch all along. Then Gus brings Lassie and Jules to the spot and they find the pencil and the bullet. Shawn and Gus stay at the field while Jules and Lassie had to go do something else. Shawn climbs the tree and discovers Po wasn't the intended target. He had interrupted the killers plan to kill Sally. Shawn and Gus make a plan for Jules to take Sally’s spot in the reenactment wearing a bullet proof vest under the dress so they can catch the killer and Sally won’t be killed. Shawn and Gus figure out that the guy who sold Henry the pocket watch, and has the costumes is the one trying to kill Sally because of the insurance policy she wrote for him. He had blown up his own vault, used the reenactment as a cover to rob his own store. In a few weeks he would collect the insurance policy money, but Sally was part of the policy, she had been in on the fraud from the start. If she wasn't dead then she would collect half of the money. But the owner wanted it all for himself so he tried to kill Sally. In the end Sally and the owner guy both got arrested.
