Shawn invites Hahn to their lecture the next day, planning to grill him in front of the class in the hopes of getting a confession. But all he succeeds in doing is getting a few “readings” on the students. The last one questions his ability, and after Shawn touches his face and gets a negativity vibe, he kicks him out of class, later commenting to Gus he had weird zit cream on.

Since the guys were unable to get anything out of Hahn in the classroom, they ask Shockley and Goddard for more information on him. All they know is that he gets a coffee every day from the school espresso bar and that five years ago he got a student expelled who attacked him. They check the school records and find out Hahn caught the student cheating and then tried to extort his scholarship money from him to keep quiet. While in the records room, Gus finds his file and is surprised to discover he actually got into the school.

The next day, the day the murder is supposed to take place, it's Gus' turn to drive carpool, but they arrive at Hahn's house to find the place has burnt to the ground. The cops are already there and tell them that there was a slight gas leak in the stove, which ignited a spark from faulty wiring in the coffee maker as it switched on in the morning. But since Shawn knows that Hahn got his coffee at school, he has a “vision” that the killer brought the coffee maker over to use as a detonator after he created the gas leak. Among the ruins, Shawn sees a notice of foreclosure on Hahn's house. Hahn was broke and the due date for payment is today. He also sees a partly burnt file folder and puts together it's a record from Muriel Juvenile Hall from 1991.

Shawn and Gus hack into Muriel's records but all they can find is a photo from 1991 of the student Shawn kicked out of class, Kirk Gödel, looking exactly the same as he does now. Shawn goes to the police station to get Juliet to do a background check on Kirk. She finds out that Kirk apparently died in a car crash along with his parents but there is no death certificate on record. They go back to the school, and during their lecture, Shawn exposes Kirk to be an imposter. He stole the real Kirk's identity to get into the school and then went online to delete the death certificate. He did time in juvenile hall for causing someone's death 15 years ago and Meitner doesn't accept anyone with a record. The weird zit cream was actually make-up he used to help disguise his real age. Hahn discovered his secret and blackmailed him, but he couldn't pay up and called his cousin to vent – the call that Shockley and Goddard overheard. He then killed Hahn and deleted all records of him being at Muriel. Juliet gets an arrest in her first big case and Gus finally gets a hold of his parents to ask why he didn't go to Meitner only to be told that they thought it was too far to drive.
