Goofs

(At about 1:57) The poison was dissolved in peanut oil. Henry tells Shawn that "his hands would look like baseball mitts if he got anywhere near that stuff" While Sal has a severe peanut allergy, peanut oil is highly refined and does not contain the allergen that (most) people with peanuts are allergic to, meaning he could have been the murderer.

Shawn is wayyyyy BEYOND ANNOYING!

Ughhh! The plot is good BUT Shawn is dragging the WHOLE episode down with his over the top shenanigans, silliness and stupidity. I am having a SUPER hard time getting thru this episode because I just want to scream, "SHUT UP! You are not funny! And a man's life is on the line here." The first 2 seasons were soooo good!! But now with each season, his foolishness is just escalating and becoming harder and harder to take. SERIOUSLY. IT. IS. NOT. FUNNY. AT. ALL. I swear all of that random, rambling UNFUNNY dialogue in the middle of the serious business is just making me want to tune out. I am surprised this show was not cancelled after season 4. His foolishness needs to be TONED DOWN. Hopefully, they do tone it down in the next season and going forward. If not, I am done trying to binge this show because it is starting to make me wanna just BARF.
