Complete story — includes the ending

The mayor of Santa Barbara has apparently died in a surfing accident, and though Shawn has figured out that it wasn't accidental, the police are content to let the matter die. Knowing that he has to take a very unconventional approach and since he suspects the man next in line to be the murderer, he decides to run for mayor in order to stall for time. Unfortunately, the case becomes the least of his problems when he learns that, if he is to have any chance to reconcile with Juliet, he will have to reveal that he's not a psychic to Chief Vick.
