EPISODE

8. The Tao of Gus

Shawn and Gus are at the SBPD waiting to pick up their check when they spot an attractive, ethereal woman named Nicole, telling the police that she witnessed a murder in an ally on a busy street at the height of lunch hour. Given the circumstances, Lassiter and Juliet are unsure whether or not she is telling the truth. Her story sounds unbelievable even to Shawn, but Gus is really attracted to Nicole and wants to further investigate.

The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

A woman named Nicole ( Diora Baird ) claims to have witnessed a murder, yet everyone–except for Gus–is having trouble believing her story, and it takes an attempt on her life to make her story credible. Even Juliet is fired at when she is mistaken for Nicole. Shawn and Gus take Nicole to her commune to protect her, which they realize is a cult after meeting its charismatic leader ( Diedrich Bader ). As usual, Gus' tendency to fall hard for women has consequences: he forgets about the case and devotes all his time to the cult.
