Plot summary

Everyone is delighted when Chief Vick returns, until she announces she's accepted a job in the Bay Area. Though Vick has put in a good word to Mayor Swagerty ( John Kapelos ) on Lassiter's behalf, Swagerty isn't keen on him for the job of Chief, but gives him a chance to prove himself by asking him to solve the murder of his uncle Archie Baxter, a journalist who was found dead in 1967. Shawn, Gus, Juliet, Henry and Woody all join the case. Lassiter learns that if he accepts the position of SBPD Chief, he cannot have Juliet as his head detective, a job that Vick has offered her. At Juliet's encouragement, Lassiter takes the job as Chief, leaving Juliet to take the job with Chief Vick. The episode ends without clarifying how these changes will affect Shawn's relationship with Juliet.
