Ep 5. Dead Man's Curveball

In the fifth episode of season 6 of Psych titled "Dead Man's Curveball," Shawn and Gus start working a case that involves a baseball player. The episode starts with Shawn and Gus going to a minor league baseball game. They were enjoying the game when one of the top prospects of the team collapses and dies while playing. The cause of death was not immediately clear and Shawn thinks that foul play was involved.

The police department gets involved in the case and Shawn and Gus convince Lassiter that they can help solve it. Lassiter agrees to let the duo work the case on the condition that they keep him in the loop. Shawn and Gus start investigating the victim's teammates, coaches, and even the team owner. Furthermore, Shawn starts playing on the team, posing as a baseball scout, to gather more information.

While Shawn is investigating, he discovers that the victim was not what he seemed. He had a secret life and was involved in illegal activities. This new information leads Shawn and Gus down a path towards solving the case. However, as they start getting closer to the truth, they realize that they too could be in danger.

Meanwhile, Juliet is working on a different case. She is trying to put a stop to a group of car thieves who are stealing high-end cars around the city. She has been hot on their trail for some time and needs to find enough evidence to put them behind bars.

As the episode progresses, Shawn and Gus find themselves in various sticky situations, including being kidnapped and tied up. Nonetheless, they are determined to get to the bottom of the case. In the end, the duo solves the case but not without some last-minute surprises and twists.

In typical Psych fashion, the episode includes lots of comedic moments, pop culture references, and references to previous episodes of the show. The title of the episode, Dead Man's Curveball, is also a pun, referring to both the victim being a baseball player and the danger the detectives face while investigating the case.
