Lassiter's current hot streak has left Shawn feeling neglected by the police department. With Lassiter single-handedly solving case after case, there has been little need to bring in outside help from Shawn and Gus. However, when an unknown man washes up on shore with unusual scarring, Lassiter is stumped. Luckily, Shawn has a theory of what caused the injury—a dinosaur. Confident in his theory, Shawn and Gus set out to connect a dinosaur to the man's death.

Recap
Juliet is paid a visit by Shawn, who is disappointed by how he hasn't received any calls from Chief Vick. It turns out Detective Lassiter has been a case-solving machine of late, solving nine cases in a row, so the department simply hasn't needed Shawn's help. When a new case comes up, Shawn and Gus tag along with the intent to convince the chief they could handle it. A dead body was found along the beach, and the body has several teeth marks across the abdomen. The large gap between each tooth makes it a little difficult to figure out. Lassiter comes up with a few possibilities, while Shawn determines the culprit was a dinosaur. Not surprisingly, Shawn isn't given the case. He's frankly laughed at. Even Gus can't believe Shawn's theory...Read the full recap
