In Psych season 1 episode 8, titled "Shawn vs. The Red Phantom," the plot follows the investigation of a car thief who has been stealing expensive cars from a local dealership. Shawn and Gus are hired by the owner, Max Rizzo, to identify and catch the thief before he destroys the dealership's reputation and puts them out of business.

Shawn appears to be unfocused and distracted throughout the investigation, causing Gus to become concerned about his friend's mental state. However, it is soon revealed that Shawn's behavior is due to his excitement and obsession with the local superhero, The Red Phantom.

Despite his initial reluctance, Gus eventually joins Shawn in his quest to track down The Red Phantom and prove that the hero is not responsible for the car thefts. As they investigate, the duo discovers that The Red Phantom may not be the perfect hero they thought he was.
