LOGLINE:
When Henry's former Captain, suffering from early on-set Alzheimer's, knows he's solved a crime but can't remember it, he comes to Shawn for help, who must piece together not only Connors' memories, but also the clues buried in them, to find the killer.

SYNOPSIS:
Henry's old boss, Captain Connors, and his daughter Trish come to the Psych Agency for help. Connors, who is suffering from early onset Alzheimer's, thinks he's solved a murder but he can't remember who's been killed or who the killer is. The police don't believe him so he asks Shawn to psychically look into his head for the answers. Since Connors was always great to him as a kid, Shawn agrees to take the case.

Shawn and Gus begin by retracing Connors' steps. They start at the coffeehouse where Connors was when he thinks he solved the crime. To Shawn's dismay, this is happens to be not only a regular haunt of Connors', but also of Henry's and all of his old cop buddies, who just happen to be there now.

Meanwhile, at the police station, a woman, Sabrina Vito, comes to Juliet for help. Her boyfriend, Mike McMillan, has gone missing. She's been unable to reach him and has been putting up flyers all over town.

Back at the coffeehouse, Shawn and Gus sit with Henry and Connors as they reminisce about the old days. Shawn notices a note Connors wrote to himself describing a white male, 20s, bald. He looks up and sees one of Sabrina's missing posters. Connors' description matches the picture of Mike perfectly. Shawn tells Connors he's getting a vibe that Connors was sitting at the same table when he saw the victim, Mike. This jogs Connors' memory, who tells them he saw Mike arguing with Mort Crocker, founder of Mort's Family Restaurant chain, who blamed the murder on a mountain lion. Shawn and Gus look confused but Henry reminds Connors about an old case of a woman named Zoe Sharp, who was killed by a mountain lion, but Connors always thought it was murder. It seems that Connors is mixing past with present.

At the Psych office, Gus shows Shawn a newspaper article about the death Mike McMillan - who was killed by a mountain lion. This must have been the murder Connors thinks he solved. Two mountain lion deaths in the same case can't be a coincidence. So Shawn stops by Henry's to get more information. Henry tells him that Zoe Sharp was Crocker's assistant and there was a rumor that they were having an affair. There wasn't any proof and Connors was always upset they couldn't nail Crocker for her death.

Shawn and Gus go to the Zoo to "talk" to Mike's killer, the mountain lion. They learn from the zoo director that the mountain lion who attacked Mike only did so because it was malnourished, which is strange because there was record rainfall this year so the lions had an abundance of foliage and prey to feed on.
