Gus lets Shawn pretend he made them and hid in the closet. Henry of course knows and lets Gus off the hook but grounds Shawn. Present day, Gus’s uncle is in town and he thinks Gus is the psychic. Shawn and Gus have to work a case but Shawn is going to help Gus with the psychic thing. They take uncle Burton to the crime scene and Jules is like who is he. Shawn tells Jules who uncle Burton is and that he invited him. Jules is like okay. When Shawn and Gus talk to the wife Shawn figures out that the wife didn’t kill the food critic. Shawn got a glimpse of the guy’s mouth and his tongue was coated black. Shawn went to the candy store and figured out none of the lollypops turn your tongue black. Back at the office Gus figures out that it is from the active ingredient in stomach medications. During this time Uncle Burton is in the bathroom and doesn’t hear what Shawn and Gus are saying. Shawn figures out that the food critic was murdered. When uncle Burton comes out of the bathroom he tells Shawn that he should clean up the office because he is the non psychic one. Shawn tells uncle Burton that he is right the non psychic one should clean up (he is talking about Gus) then Shawn tells Uncle Burton that Gus has some new psychic information. When they go to the station Shawn pretends that his visions are so strong they come out as the wrong fishes (words). Shawn has Gus translate for him and they figure out that the critic’s last meal was from Antonio’s the restaurant. At the restaurant Shawn and Gus go to the kitchen and talk to the chef.  While they are there Lassie and Jules come and arrest Chef Antonio. Then Shawn realizes they have the wrong guy chef Antonio cuts his mushrooms into strips. The mushrooms in the meal were cut in cubes. Because Lassiter doesn’t believe Shawn, uncle Burton, Gus and Shawn go to the news paper and figure out who wanted to kill the critic. They go to all of the restaurants and talk to the chefs. Then Shawn and Gus realize it wasn’t about revenge, someone at the news paper wanted his job. The head of the newspaper said he could only talk if Shawn was employed there so Shawn becomes the horoscope writer. He tells Lassie that he might have a promotion coming soon, Jules that her one true love will be wearing an apple jacks t-shirt and sneakers, and he told Henry to return his be begun. When Henry reads this he goes down to the psych office. When Shawn and Gus return Henry has a box of old stuff and tells him about the vegan lady and her thing with Antonio. Shawn called Jules and told her to come down to the place where the vegan lady was. When Jules came she saw Shawn in the apple jacks t-shirt is like that’s so weird. When Lassie goes to talk to the store manager he starts to go through the door and comes back out. Shawn as usual is like wait for it. Lassie turns around and walks through the door backwards. Then Uncle Burton shows up. Because he is enjoying the crime solving so much he was excited to come down. Then when Shawn and Gus thought they had solved it Jules comes over and tells them that a 6ft tall man dumped death caps yesterday. Uncle Burton rips up his post card and says that the psychic thing is bogus. At the station the chief tells Shawn and Gus about the other victim. Gus realizes they were on the right track. The streets were across from the news paper. When Gus is bringing Uncle Burton to the airport he realizes he has forgotten his hippo shirt. Shawn realizes what the man with the mushrooms was talking about. He had sunshine coming out of his mouth (cheetos) and a hippo for a hand (hippo company shirt). Gus tells Uncle Burton that he is going to be a little late for his flight. They go to the newspaper place and together Shawn and Gus do the psychic thing. They arrest the assistant of the main guy. Afterward Jules comes over to Shawn. He tells her they should celebrate over dinner and drinks. She tells him they are a little off. Then she gets a call from chief Vick about a bank robbery. Because Uncle Burton missed his flight he went with Shawn and Gus. In the end Uncle Burton is okay with Gus calling himself Gus instead of Burton. Shawn wrote a contract for him and Gus and Gus didn’t want to sign it. Shawn is like but he said you can sign it any way you want and says a bunch of famous people’s names.
