- While on a murder case involving victims on a liver transplant donor list, Shawn is faced with a man whose criminal profiling skills rival that of his own - and who also has eyes for Juliet.
- Open with young Spencer and Gus playing hoops. After crushing Gus, Spencer takes on Henry who kicks his butt and talks a bunch of trash. Henry thinks young Spencer needs to challenge himself or he'll become complaisant.
Spencer has been listening to the vampire-focused "Eternity" book series on audiotape. Gus is dating a new girls named Kim. At a coffee shop Spencer is one-upped on a the store's daily piece of movie trivia by a stranger. There is a wedding that weekend and Spencer claims he will be taking Jules.
The guys meet Jules and Lassie at the scene of an elderly woman found dead at the orchestra. Lassie thinks no foul play. Spencer begins to connect the dots with an aerosol can found nearby and several other recent death and is about to pronounce this a murder when the guy from the coffee shop walks by and steals his thunder again. The man's name is Declan Rand, and he is a criminal profiler the department brought in. They have a serial killer on their hands and Spencer learns that Declan has already asked Jules out on a date. He is furious at this man Gus calls "Spencer 2.0."
Jules takes Spencer aside and offers to go the wedding with him if he "needs" a date. He tells her he'll have no problem finding a date and was doing her a favor. Karen says the department will be pulling out all stops to find the killer, including hiring Declan. Declan says the killer has used hemlock, which creates a peaceful death. He thinks they were most likely mercy killing, probably committed by a woman.
Spencer complains to Henry about bringing in Declan. Henry shows them Declan's sparkling resume and thinks Spencer's been lazy lately and could use the challenge.
Outside Spencer challenges Declan's psychological profiling skills. Declan nails Spencer's personality on the nose.
They go see Woody, who agrees with Declan's theory about mercy killing. All three victims suffer from liver isues, at least one of which Spencer heard about in his books.
At the hospital they get a list of people waiting for new livers. The first three names are the people who were killed. The next person, a Catherine Bicks, is a 35-year old woman.
Spencer is having trouble finding a date for the wedding. He's also been doing research on the transplant list and thinks if he can take Declan down a peg it will help him with Jules.
The gang heads over to Catherine's house and when she goes for her purse Lassie pulls out his gun. Spencer figures out that she was just out of the country and Catherine pulls out a passport proving she'd just been in Europe for 2 ½ weeks.
Outside Declan wants to talk to her more, but Lassie wants them to leave. Declan, Lassie and Jules head to see the next person on the transplant list while the guys hang back. Spencer already knows the next person is dead and his plan is to find the next person to get a jump on things.
This is of course leads to Spencer embarrassing himself by accusing a wheelchair-bound man at a dinner in his honor.
Henry isn't happy with Spencer. Karen comes to them with a bid break. A homeless man saw a person spaying a can at the latest victim and gave the department a description. The sketch looks just like Catherine and the assumption is now that she has a fake passport and Declan was right all along.
Spencer is taking a girl named Crazy Gina (who is obsessed with Spencer) to the wedding.
Catherine is not at her home, but Declan believes she is suffering from a personality disorder and should still be in town. Declan uses terms that are verbatim taken from Spencer's vampire book. He knows Declan is a fraud. When he leaves Spencer tells Gus that Declan made be the murder.
The guys follow Declan and Spencer says he learned Declan's resume was fabricated.
They follow Declan to a massive estate. It turns out Declan is filthy rich former hedge fund manager (to the point he can afford to hire Tears for Fears' Curt Smith to hang around his house signing. Declan is playing psychological profiler because he seems to have a gift. He is a successful fraud, much like Spencer.
Spencer wants Henry to fire Declan for being a fraud. He will not. Jules pops in and said they just spotted Catherine in the parking garage. They rush to the scene and find Catherine lying dead on the floor with Declan kneeling over her. "Uh-oh," he says.
Declan is in cuffs and Spencer and Gus know very well he is innocent. Gus questions Declan before Lassie gets his hands on him. Declan says he went down there when he heard she in the garage and found her already dead. He found Catherine looked surprisingly healthy for a dying woman.
Woody validates that Catherine wasn't suffering from liver cirrhosis after all. He tells Spencer that she was right handed, which doesn't match a picture he remembers from her house.
At Catherine's house they find her identical twin, Maddie. It turns out Catherine had helped Maddie get on the list. Maddie is an alcoholic and the only way to get a new organ was to trick the hospital. When Maddie started killing people to move up the list Catherine got upset. She was going to the police and Maddie stopped her, pushing her to the ground and accidentally killing her.
Declan and Spencer talk about coming clean to Jules. Declan once again beats him to the punch and tells her he is a fraud. She is initially upset, but eventually loves the fact he was so honest.
Curt Smith plays the wedding and Gina is as crazy as advertised. Gus and Kim broke up.
