- A U.S. government spy seeks Shawn and Gus' help in clearing her name.
- Open with the guys eating ice cream on the pier. They spot an attractive girl and Gus thinks she might be into him until they see she is armed and begins to chase them. The woman, Nadia, catches them at the end of the pier and tells them she wants help erasing herself. She knew Jules' brother and he recommended them. An attack helicopter shows up and points a gun at them, and she throws them over the edge.
The guys hide with Nadia under the pier. She takes them to a bathroom and tells them she needs to go dark. She got a note from her mentor Strabinsky (who already erased himself) and she thinks it is telling her how to find him. The card has depressions Gus thinks are related to celestial patterns.
Nadia aims a rifle out the window of their office while the guys work on the card. Gus thinks the constellation on the card is directing them to a place just outside of Santa Barbara.
They go see Declan. He tells them he promised Jules (now his girlfriend) he wouldn't assist on anymore police cases just before Jules walks out in a towel. They ask to borrow Declan's helicopter. Declan agrees, though he needs it back within a few hours to take Jules to dinner and a surprise vacation.
In the air Shawn spots something and directs Declan to land.
They find Strabinsky in a cabin-like home hidden in the forest. He is upset that their coming there has put him in jeopardy. Nadia tells him she's being tracked and wants to be erased. As he deletes her files he can't get past security for one called Bolivia. She pulls a gun on him and demands he get into the file. Strabinsky said he recalled the mission and that someone made off with a suitcase full of Global Currency Certificates. To open the file he'll need a Level 3 computer in a government building. Nadia leaves and Gus asks Strabinsky who they just helped erase: "A very capable killer," he says.
At the department the guys tell Henry what happened. The men from the helicopter walk into the room. They are Driggs and Fong, both with special military ops.
Driggs and Fong break into Strabinsky's place and see a charred body on the ground. The consensus is Nadia is covering her tracks. Jules tells Shawn and Gus that if Nadia is connected with her brother she can't be trusted. Shockingly Driggs and Fong asks Lassie and Jules to help them. Spencer directs them to the closest building with a Level 3 computer.
That turns out to be Santa Barbara's Federal Building. We see Nadia crawl through the vents and take out several security guards just as the good guys roll in through the front door. Nadia attempts to access the Bolivia file from a desk. Shawn and Gus approach her and she says she didn't kill Strabinsky. She says someone made her take the GCCs. When the feds approach she blows up the computer and runs out. Driggs wants the computer sent to HQ for "washing." Shawn whispers to Gus that if Nadia believes she was set up by someone on the inside it might just be Driggs. He grabs a half-melted flash drive from the floor.
They take the flash drive to Declan. Using one of Declan's special computers they find Strabinsky's likely location.
Gus and Shawn bring the flash drive to Strabinsky. On the drive he finds a photo of her at the embassy in Bolivia with a suitcase full of the GCCs.
At the station Shawn tells Driggs and Fong he had had visions about seeing Nadia with the GCCs. Nadia calls him and Shawn tells her about seeing the picture of her. She wants the flash drive back and he realizes she was calling from inside the station.
Shawn meets Nadia at a park that night, with the feds monitoring their conversation. She speaks flirtatiously, which Shawn recognizes as a con. She appears to confess to killing several people in Bolivia and the feds move in and arrest her. They bring her into custody. With Jules still listening from the van, Shawn tells Gus how difficult it is for him to deal with her dating Declan. He says he doesn't think he can be happy without Jules and she seems shocked to hear him say such a thing.
After bragging to Henry about their great work, Shawn gets a call on Nadia's phone. She must have slipped it in his pocket in the park. A satellite photo downloads that appears to vindicate Nadia. A masked soldier with two watches (like Fong) is pointing a gun at her. Henry calls Lassie and tells him "this isn't over."
Cut to Fong torturing Nadia. He wants to know where she hid the certificates but she isn't talking. The guys break into the room and Driggs places Fong in cuffs.
The guys go to Declan's place to thank him. Shawn runs into Jules, who tells him this particular case was impressive. She presses for info about whether Declan was involved but he doesn't rat Declan out. A super-serious Shawn tells her to have a great trip. All of a sudden Jules leans in and kisses Shawn. Declan returns downstairs and Shawn and Gus take off.
