NOT EVEN CLOSE... ENCOUNTERS (#5_5003)
EPISODE PREMIERE: July 28, 2010

The guys spy on Toby outside his firm wearing sci-fi related disguises they swiped from Dennis’s “nerd closet.” Much to their surprise, Toby suddenly sprints off. Toby is able to lose them but he calls Shawn's cell phone after realizing it was them behind him. Over the phone, he admits that Kessler was telling the truth and asks them to meet him in front of a hotel in an hour. Later at the hotel, Shawn and Gus wait outside for Toby’s arrival. However, Toby's body suddenly lands in front of them, apparently the result of a suicide jump from the roof. Gus points out that suicidal tendencies are a sign of abduction.

At the station, Jules tells the guys Toby wired all of his money, $500,000, to a charity just before his death. On their way out Shawn snags a few pieces of papers, one of which is the coroner's report showing that a strange object is caught inside Toby's stomach.

At the coroner’s office, Woody tells the guys the object was a flash drive, but it is now in Lassie's possession. It turns out Dennis is hacking Lassie's computer to grab the flash drive at the same time Lassie is trying to extract info from the drive. The drive contains legal documents related to a textile company that was recently responsible for a major chemical spill that Kessler believed to be intentional.

Shawn and Gus go to the town where the spill occurred and find a vehicle that is a machine that sends sonic vibrations into the earth in order to find oil. From this evidence, they determine that the textile company planned a purposeful chemical spill in order to drive residents away so that they can keep the oil for themselves. Then all of a sudden a bright light appears in the sky: It’s a helicopter from the textile company coming to pick up Shawn and Gus. In the chopper, Shawn tells them what he thinks their evil plan is: With Kessler on their heels, they paid Toby to help discredit Kessler. Toby began having second thoughts and they killed him. When it appears the guys are about to be shot, Dennis comes into the room pretending to be a delivery guy. Suddenly, he pulls out nunchucks and tries to disarm the guards in order to save Shawn and Gus. Just then Jules and Lassie burst into the room and take the bad guys down.

Shawn and Gus are then seen as heroes for bravely uncovering the conspiracy, and as a result, Henry has to reluctantly give them another job.

In the end, Molly ends up discovering that Dennis is a nerd. Fortunately for Dennis, it turns that she is a closeted nerd herself.
