LOGLINE:
Following the trail of a counterfeiter, the "Feds" show up in Santa Barbara with their own version of Lassiter and their very own "Shawn," spawning a rivalry and causing our cast to ban together for the first time to save the integrity of the department and prove who has the better psychic.

SYNOPSIS:
Shawn and Gus get called in for an important meeting in Chief Vick's office but when they get there they are surprised to find Special Agent Lars Ewing of the Treasury Department, who is in town on a counterfeiting case and has brought along his partner, Lindsay Leikin, a psychic who not only has had great success on this case already but is determined to prove Shawn a fake.

On their way to Home Depot, the last known place the counterfeit money was passed, Vick tells Lassiter, Juliet, Shawn and Gus to assist the feds in any way – but make sure they don't get shown up in their own town.  As Ewing and Leikin question the teller, Shawn and Gus tell them they are going to search the store for "auras."  In fact, they find the security office where all the footage from the day the counterfeiter hit.  The guard tells them a federal psychic already beat them to it but said the tapes couldn't give them a positive ID.  Shawn asks to see the footage anyway, and although the culprit never faces the camera, he does notice a distinct key on his key ring.  Back with the teller, Ewing is aggravated he can't give any kind of ID, but Lindsay jumps in and describes him perfectly, showing Shawn up.  Shawn's frustrated.  He knows there are no such things as psychics, but how is she doing it?  Gus tells him maybe she's just better than him.  Shawn says the key the counterfeiter had was from a Nissan.  He told Lassiter to check the security cameras in the parking lot.  All of the Nissan's checked out except a new one.  This guy is too smart to still be holding onto that car.  He'll need new wheels and he'll need to drop a lot of his fake cash.  That means only one place.

They arrive at Saladin Motorworks, a high-end exotic car dealership only to find Lindsay, Ewing, Lassiter, Juliet and Vick already there.  The cops fill Shawn and Gus in on what they already know.  Their guy bought a Lamborghini in cash.  Next day he returns it for half its value – trading $46,000 in worthless paper for $26,000 in legal tender.  The only lead they have is that the Lamborghini was spotted outside of town in Goleta but it was moving too fast to get an ID.  Shawn suggests to Lindsay that they join forces.  She tells him she doesn't need him, and she's in a relationship.  When they rejoin Ewing who is examining the counterfeit bills, Shawn notices something different about one of them, and takes a note of the serial number.
