There's Something About Mira

Season 2 episode 11. Flashback 1987, Henry took Shawn and Gus to a fancy restaurant and they see someone propose. Shawn and Gus think it is disgusting to spend the rest of their lives with women and they will never get married. Present day, Shawn and Gus are at the batting cages and they see someone who has been following them when they go and talk to him he says that he is a private investigator hired by Gus’s wife. Shawn laughs and tells him that neither of them are married. Shawn and Gus go away and talk and Shawn is like why aren’t you laughing. Then Shawn realizes Gus is married. Shawn is like how come you never told me. Gus explains about Mira (his wife) and then they go to see her. Back with Lassie and Jules, they are chasing a criminal and Jules has a hunch that he is going to jump the fence and collars him. Back at the station she says she is very good at deductive reasoning. Buzz then says that he is thinking about taking the detective exam and was wondering if she could help him study. Lassie says that since he got the highest grade on his exam (97.2%) that he should study him. Jules leaves and Lassie asks the chief if someone scored higher than him. She says that she thinks Jules did. Lassie asks what she got and she said it wasn’t much higher but she got 98.4% and she doesn’t want this to become a problem between them. When Shawn and Gus go to the vineyard they see Mira and Gus can’t speak. When he finally does she has them taste some of her family’s wine. When she goes to get it Shawn is like this isn’t the plan (the plan was for Gus not to get sucked back into “Hurricane Mira”). She tells Gus the reason she wanted to see him was because she was getting married. He asked when it was and she said tomorrow. Then next day when they get there Gus thinks he is the groom because the actual groom wasn’t there. When Mira’s mother announces that Mira’s fiancĂ© Jan (pronounced Yon) wasn’t there she was hysterical. Gus and Shawn offer to go help her find Jan, because they don’t have any other cases at that time. Back at the station Lassie is still mad about Jules scoring higher than him on the exam and was doing all kinds of different things to prove that he was a better cop. When Lassie finished his paperwork he tells Jules that he didn’t want her to have to be backed up on paperwork. When he goes to give the chief the work she walks out of her office telling Jules that her reports were excellent, then asks her to translate some papers into Spanish. Lassie is mad because she can speak Spanish and he can’t and she tells him it was a requirement in Miami. When she goes and gets coffee it is really hot. Lassie takes a big sip and smile. She says “please don’t tell me you just burned your mouth because you are still pissed that I scored higher than you on the exam.” Back with Shawn and Gus, they are talking to Mira about Jan and they ask for some pictures. Shawn figures out that the pictures were photo shopped. Gus wanted to be alone with Mira so he tells Shawn to go talk to her parents. When Shawn talks to her mom she brings him into the storage cellar where they keep a lot of the wine and only a privileged few get to go down there. Her mom obviously has a ting for Shawn because she tells Shawn that she likes her wine like she likes her men “white and harry.” Shawn is like that makes no since at all. When they are down there Mira’s dad walks in and then Shawn and her mom act natural. He is like what is going on. Shawn talks to the dad about how they never got to meet Jan (Shawn calls Jan like it is spelled not like how it’s said). Back at the psych office Shawn tells Gus that Jan doesn’t exist because he had the same shaving scar in all the pictures that were taken in different places at different times. At the station Shawn tells everyone that Jan didn’t exist. The chief is like are you sure and Shawn said he was. She asked him to explain the man at the door. When they turned around Jan was standing at the door. Mira’s family and Gus were all mad at Shawn and Lassie just thought it was funny. Shawn wants to investigate further but Gus doesn’t. When Shawn goes to Jan’s Mira is there he talks to her for a second then asks her why she photo shopped the pictures. She told Shawn that because of what happened with Gus her parents had been skeptical about every guy she has dated because what happened with Gus. Jan photo shopped some pictures to make it look like they had been together for a while instead of for a few weeks. Shawn asks where Jan is and Mira tells him gulfing with her dad. Shawn takes Gus gulfing and decides to do the back 9. When they are gulfing Shawn sees Jan arguing on the phone. Shawn and Gus follow him to a nearby tree and sees him talking with the guy Mira hired to find Gus. When he leaves Shawn and Gus talk to Jan and ask him questions. They figure out that he was in a relationship before Mira and had to get out of it. Gus talks to Shawn alone for a second and tells Shawn that Jan is telling the truth. Back at the station Lassie and Jules are timing each other to see who can get the guy to crack first. While they are in the middle the chief needs them for and important case. When Shawn and Gus get there Jules says it’s about Mira’s fiancĂ©. Shawn says that he knew Jan was a crook and tells Jan that the game is over and to tell him what he knows. When Shawn goes into the room Jan is dead. Back at the psych office Shawn is like I can’t believe he is dead. Later Shawn realizes that that the detective guy was the one who killed Jan. when Shawn goes to tells Lassie, Jules and the chief Buzz walks in with the prints from the refrigerator truck case. Shawn tells them he got a 100 on that exam when he was 15. Buzz says that the prints belong to the “private detective guy” and names his name and his aliases including Mace the one he used with Shawn and Gus. Shawn realizes that Mace is at the winery and Gus and Mira are there too. When Shawn gets there he tells everyone what he makes up that happens that makes Gus look good. In the end Mira tells Shawn that she and Gus are going to do all different things together. Shawn makes up a story about a case that they have to do so Gus doesn’t have to go. Shawn says goodbye to Mira because she is going to Greenland to save polar bears. When she leaves Gus thanks Shawn for everything and then Shawn gives Gus his wedding picture. It was him and his wife skydiving in their wedding outfits with a rabbi.
