There were only three ways to get Shawn Spencer to shut up. One was to get him to go to sleep. Unfortunately for Henry Spencer, Shawn had become far too old to simply send off to bed. Now, whenever Henry tried to tell Shawn to do anything, all he got were snarky accusations of trying to control Shawn and melodramatic tirades of ruined childhoods.

The second was to simply to knock him out. It had worked for Drimmer. Unfortunately for Burton Guster, he was slightly more concerned about giving Shawn mild concussions than Drimmer was. That and, whenever Gus attempted to sneak up on Shawn, the other retaliated with rapid slaps to his head. Gus was very protective of his head.

The last, and arguably the most successful method, was the one Carlton Lassiter had stumbled upon during a rather heated argument he had been having with the psychic. Lassiter can't remember what it was they were arguing about. All he can remember is a determined, green-eyed stare, his own valiant attempts to control his rapid breathing and the lure of a warm body as he pushed Shawn against the wall. It turns out that the best way to get Shawn to stop running off at the mouth was to give him something else to do with it.
