A desperate, erratic man named Stewart Gimbley comes into the Psych office claiming to be a werewolf, and he asks Shawn and Gus to keep an eye on him tonight, claiming he was responsible for killing a sheep and fears a person could be next. Apparently, Lassie directed Gimbley to Psych when he asked the police for help. Shawn and Gus are skeptical, but agree to keep an eye on him when he offers to pay triple their usual rate. They duct-tape him to a chair, and fall asleep watching TV – only to wake up when their front window is shattered. Gimbley is gone, and Shawn finds a tuft of animal fur stuck to the broken window. Two hunters are torn apart in the woods that night, and Gimbley has disappeared. As Shawn, Gus, and the police look for Gimbley, conflicting evidence begins to mount, and the third and last full moon is tonight…
