"Spellingg Bee" is the second episode of Season One. When the revered Spellmaster of the Regional Spelling Bee suddenly dies, Shawn and Gus are soon on hand to investigate.
Shawn comes into the diner where he meets Juliet for the first time. He has a conversation with her, "psychically" figuring out she has two cats and parents in a long-lasting marriage. Halfway through, a man enters and sits down at the counter. As Juliet eyes him, Shawn figures out she is a cop who is on duty. Juliet tells Shawn to duck and draws her gun. Detective Lassiter comes in with a few other uniform police officers and arrests the perp. He takes one look at Shawn and hurries out.
In 1985, Gus is at the Regional Spelling Bee and it is his turn. Shawn is in the audience and is telling him the answers. Unfortunately for Gus, Shawn mouths the wrong letter and Gus gets eliminated from the Bee.
In the present, Shawn and Gus are watching the Regional Spelling Bee, mostly because Gus insisted. Suddenly, this year's favorite, Brendan Vu, collapses after breathing in from his inhaler. Shawn doesn't think it was an accident, and gets a call from Interim Chief Karen Vick to go investigate.
Vick tells them that Brendan said that the inhaler felt strange. When the ambulance arrived, the inhaler was gone. Shawn and Gus need to interview all the witnesses by 5 p.m. – because when the Bee finishes, all the contestants and potential suspects will go back to their hometowns.
After eliminating the Bee contestants who were already kicked out, Shawn begins going through the remaining suspects, when the Spellmaster, former champion Elvin Cavanaugh, decides to make a big announcement. As Shawn and Gus come out to hear it, they see Cavanaugh staggering around. He tumbles over the railing in the Spellmaster's box and is killed.
Upon investigation, Lassiter and Juliet believe that Cavanaugh was incredibly overweight from eating junk food. They believe that he had a heart attack and fell. Shawn and Gus sneak into the Spellmaster's box to do some investigating, and (using Gus' amazing "Supersmeller" ability) realize that Cavanaugh's Chinese noodles might have been poisoned. Shawn and Gus need to find a lab that will analyze the food.
•A pineapple appears when Henry comes home and Shawn is working on the doghouse – he's holding a slice of pineapple in his hand.
•The picture accompanying the Santa Barbara Mirror article Henry is reading at the end of the episode is seen again in S4E9 "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark" when Henry shows it to Rollins.
