Shawn and Gus show up at the hotel Desperaux had them reserved at. Suddenly the RCMP show up and tell Shawn and Gus that Desperaux has escaped prison and that one of the visitors saw him get in the back of their trunk. But when they go to open it, Desperaux is not there. Shawn and Gus are taken in for questioning about Desperaux's disappearance. Shawn claims he will find Desperaux and bring him to justice for the murder and the robbery.

They head back to the Crown Prosecutor's home to look for clues. There, they are surprised to see Desperaux, who is claiming he's only there to exonerate himself. Shawn wants to believe him so he creates a diversion to help him escape. After this is successful, they come across, Lisa Santee, the crown prosecutor's wife. They ask her a few questions, but they come to no new conclusions about the case.

Back at the hotel, they meet Desperaux again. Only, this time, Desperaux is with a woman… a woman he met while in prison that he has since fallen for. Just then, Juliet shows up to talk. But Shawn can't let on that Desperaux is there with them. Juliet tells Shawn that she broke up with Declan. But Shawn has get her far away from knowing he's helping Desperaux, so he is forced to be short with her, leaving her confused about their relationship. Desperaux tells them about the middleman that put his client in contact with Desperaux, a criminal that could get the job done. The guys head to the RCMP to find out information about the middleman, and are thankfully able to get a location on him. At the location, Desperaux gets the middleman to admit who his client is: Frank Crosley, a crime lord. Desperaux was in prison Crosley him and admits that the woman he had fallen in love with while in prison is actually Crosley's wife. Desperaux says that Crosley ran his whole operation from prison.

Back at the RCMP, Shawn gives them a name: Frank Crosley. The detective that was murdered may have been murdered by Crosley. The detective was close to bringing down Crosley's operation but showed up dead before he could put it all together. Now they think it was Crosley who killed both the Crown Prosecutor and one of the RCMP's detectives. Shawn breaks it down: the two deaths are connected because they held information against Crosley. Crosley set up Desperaux to take the fall for the crime because he found out he was having an affair with his wife. But when they arrive to see Crosley, he's also dead.

Now Shawn admits that Desperaux may be guilty… so Shawn and Gus discuss the case in the car. But suddenly, they see Desperaux being held at gunpoint by Crosley's wife… the actual crime boss. Valeria Crosley was the one who set up Desperaux, not her husband. Desperaux creates a diversion and Shawn is able to knock her out unconscious, allowing them to escape.

The next day, Lassiter extradites Desperaux back to the U.S. Shawn goes to meet up with Juliet to finally set things straight. Juliet says that she and Shawn missed the moment, and that maybe a relationship between them isn't meant to be. But Shawn shares his true feelings with her, and they share the kiss to end all kisses.
