"Someone's Got a Woody" is the fourth episode of Season Eight. Woody is taken hostage by a desperate ex-con who claims he's being set up for murder.
In the Psych office, Shawn and Gus discuss the fact that Chief Harris Trout still hasn't hired them to work on any cases for the SBPD. They entertain the idea of inventing a case, but they know that will never work.
At an unknown location, a man named Cyrus Polk dragging a dead body. After he thinks someone has spotted him, he panics, drops the body and takes off. The same body, a John Doe, is seen in the morgue, lying on the table ready for Woody to perform an autopsy. Cyrus enters the morgue dressed as someone from a mortuary. When Woody won't let him take the body, Cyrus pulls a gun on Woody, barricades the morgue, and holds him hostage. Cyrus tells Woody that the man on the table is named Greer Wilson, a person who he found dead on his living room floor stabbed to death with a knife from his kitchen. He tells Woody that he and Greer shared a cellblock in prison and got into a nasty fight while there. Cyrus' last words to Greer were, "The next time I see your ugly face again, I'm going to kill you!" Cyrus says that he was framed for Greer's murder and that if Woody performs the autopsy, he'll be the SBPD's number one suspect. If so, he risks having to go back to jail.
The SBPD immediately get wind of the hostage situation, and Trout takes control of it. Trout calls Cyrus to negotiate. Trout at first appears like he is going to handle the situation with Cyrus safely, but when he gets off the phone, Trout tells his team that he's going to enter the hostage situation and gun Cyrus down himself.
After Cyrus tells Woody that he doesn't trust the cops, Woody tells Cyrus to hire Shawn and Gus. They relay this info to the SBPD and Trout reluctantly orders Shawn and Gus to be brought onto the case. Trout sends them down to the morgue. Cyrus agrees to let the SBPD send in Woody's anxiety medication. But unbeknownst to Cyrus, Trout has put a tiny camera inside the bottle so that he can have his eyes on the room at all times.
Cyrus lets Shawn and Gus into the morgue and tells them he believes the real murderer could have been someone at the halfway house he was living at. Before Shawn and Gus leave to check out this lead, Cyrus shows them a picture of his wife and tells them he has something to live for and that proving his innocence is paramount. They head out to check the lead, but before they can leave the SBPD, they see that Cyrus' wife is there along with Cyrus' parole officer, Edward Tripp. It is revealed that he was also Greer's parole officer.
Shawn and Gus arrive at the halfway house in search of leads for Greer's real killer. A man named Rocco greets them and tells them he's running the joint until his boss Maurice gets back. Rocco leads them through the halfway house and tells them that his roommate, Greer Wilson, was just killed. Shawn and Gus put Rocco on their suspect list. Next, they ask to check out Greer's room. While there, they find a picture of Greer and Cyrus' wife acting affectionate. They realize this info doesn't bode well for Cyrus. He now has motive.
