Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark

Season 4 episode 9. Flashback 1989, Henry is teaching Shawn about worst case scenarios. Present day, Gus is at a storage place and Shawn isn’t there. Gus had called Lassie and Jules to help him figure out where Shawn is. Shawn is in the back of a car. Flashback 1989, Henry locks Shawn in the trunk of the car he tells him to kick out the tail light. Present day, Shawn kicks out the tail light then on his phone while his hands are duct taped Shawn tries to call Gus but instead calls Gina. She hangs up on Shawn. When Shawn rips out of the duct tape he can’t call because there isn’t enough service so he texts Gus. He tells him about the yellow sign, the orange cone and the peace sign. Then he texts him something that sounded like been shot because that was what it was supposed to be. When Lassie goes over to a little pool he figures out its blood. Gus realizes Shawn has been shot and tells Jules. When they get more people down there Gus had called Henry. Lassie is mad but Jules tells Lassie that they might need him in case it gets personal. Lassie takes Henry while Jules stays with Gus. She tells him to think hard. Gus says it all started a few days ago with the ice cream truck on the highway. A few days ago, there was an accident with an ice cream truck and Shawn didn’t think it was an accident. Lassie and Jules came and then gave the case to Shawn and Gus. Back in the car, Shawn with his wound manages to pop open the trunk and then the guy starts swerving so Shawn can’t jump. When the guy stops Shawn jumps out and runs. He accidently leaves his phone in the car. Back with Henry and Lassie, Henry figures out that the letters are abbreviations. They figure out the ocone is orange cone, and yelrfx is yellow reflectors. They figure out is a construction site and Lassie knows a road where they are doing construction. They still don’t know what peac sig is. Back with Jules and Gus, Jules asked Gus where this led them. The other day, they met a guy who did welding on trucks named Garth Longmore (the same guy who chased Shawn in the woods). Back with Jules and Gus, Jules and Gus go down to the mechanics place and the guy tells them Garth quit yesterday. He tells them what kind of car Garth was driving and that he ran off with a welding tool. Back with Shawn, he is still running through the woods. Flashback, Henry asks him “what is the fastest way to run from an assailant” and the answer is a zigzag because a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Back with Shawn, he does exactly that and looses the guy by hiding in a tree. Back with Lassie and Henry, the find the peace sign, the yellow reflector and the orange cone. When they get out there is taillight on the ground. Henry knows it is Shawn and Lassie asks how. Henry tells Lassie that it is because he was the one who taught Shawn how to do it. Back with Jules and Gus, they figure out that the guy is a criminal who bought the social security number of Garth Longmore who died in 1956 on the black market. They tell Lassie and Henry who then make their way on foot. Back with Shawn, he woke up then found a gas station. The guy inside was another man working with the guy who kidnapped Shawn. When Shawn wakes up the two men are fighting. The guy tells Shawn that he wants to shoot him. Shawn figures out that the other guy could have killed Shawn from 3 feet but didn’t. Back with Lassie and Henry, Lassie is tired but Henry just keeps on running. Henry then finds a piece of Shawn’s shirt on a branch and knows he went that way. Back with Gus and Jules, they go to Shawn’s apartment. Jules thinks it is funny that the first time she ever went to Shawn’s apartment he was shot and dragged into the back of a car. She sees Abigail’s toothbrush and asks Gus about that. He says they have reached the he has a drawer she has a toothbrush. Back with Shawn he is saying random things about the guys’ plans to one of the guys. Back with Lassie and Henry, they found the gas station but the younger guy leads them off the track. When the guys fight Shawn gets a call and goes to his phone and answers. He tells the old guy he wants to say goodbye to his girlfriend Abigail but instead he calls Jules. He tells Jules if she cares about him she will understand. He can’t say a lot so listen. Jules sits down and listens to Shawn. He tells her that they won’t have much of a future together but back at what they were he will be there. The wind chimes he got her for her birthday indicating the wrenches outside that bang together. He tells her every time she hears them from now on that will be him. Jules doesn’t understand what he is saying and tells him he is going to be fine and that they are going to find him and not to worry. The old guy next to Shawn tells him to say I love you and goodbye. He says to Jules “before I go I have to say one more thing.” Jules says “of course Shawn what is it?” Shawn says “I need you to know that I love you.” When he says this Jules doesn’t know what to say. She says “Shawn I think that I…” only to be cut off by Shawn saying “goodbye Abigail.” When he says goodbye she is like what. After he hangs up the guy asks how stupid could he be letting him use the phone. Back with Jules and Gus, Jules calls Lassie and tells him that Shawn is alive and he was trying to give her clues and she didn’t understand. Then they realize he is back at the gas station. When they all get there the old guy is dead and Shawn and the young guy are gone. Jules drives Gus’s car and Lassie gets his back. When they find Shawn he jumps on Lassies hood. The guy shoots Gus’s car tire so Gus and Jules put along behind. Shawn shoots the truck with Lassie’s gun to make him stop. When they arrest the guy Jules and Gus come putting behind. In the end, Shawn tells Gus that he had to tell Jules that he loved her and Gus asked if it was awkward. Shawn says a little and that the weird thing was that he things she was going to say it back to him. Gus says she was probably doing what she had to do but Shawn doesn’t think so.
