Complete story — includes the ending

Lassiter is in a funk since Interim Chief Harris Trout ( Anthony Michael Hall ) not only demoted him, but refused to give him any credit for saving his life. Shawn takes on the job of Lassiter's life coach since Trout refuses to hire him. After Lassiter learns that his wife is pregnant, he suddenly develops an extreme fear of death, which leads Shawn to believe that he's dying, all while trying to figure out who tried to kill Trout, and others like him.
