    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Shawn mentions that Gus wants to catch the season finale of "Leverage." Guest star Jeri Ryan had a recurring role as grifter Tara Cole in Leverage (2008). Leverage co-creator John Rogers joked that in his mind Shawn Spencer and Leverage's Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane) are cousins.
    • Goofs
      Shawn says that the paper's use of the phrase "Detective Dipstick" is copyright infringement since he "registered" it. Short phrases like this can't be copyrighted; Shawn should have said "trademark infringement".
    • Quotes

      Shawn Spencer: You saw the knife wound, did you not?

      Carlton Lassiter: It looked like a knife wound and I've regretted ever since I've said it.

      Shawn Spencer: No! Don't regret it. Don't you see? This should be the best moment of your life! You should- you should feel liberated! In your guts! Because you're following your guts! You found the piece that didn't fit, and even though you didn't know how it fits, you announced it to the world anyway.

      Carlton Lassiter: Spencer, one loose end doesn't make it foul play.

      Shawn Spencer: It doesn't?

      Burton 'Gus' Guster: How do you think we've stayed in business these last four years?

      Shawn Spencer: But what if it does? Lassie, we're comrades now. I do this all the time, I can walk you through this. This is just the weird part of the spit-out-a-crazy-theory process. You say it! Everyone thinks you're crazy, you're incompetent, you should probably color your sideburns

      [everyone looks at Lassiter's sideburns; Juliet nods]

      Shawn Spencer: We're one in the same. We're Shassie now. We're Sharlton. We're Spenssiter.

      Carlton Lassiter: Oh my god.
