"A Touch of Sweevil" is the eighth episode of Season Eight. Shawn and Gus are invited to be on a panel at a police consultant convention, but things go awry when a murder occurs. Meanwhile, Lassiter is trying his best to get rid of his new head detective.
After years of trying, Shawn finally gets an invite to be a panelist at the Cutting Edge Consultants Convention hosted by Professor Bob Stein, a Paranormal Forensics Expert.
Meanwhile, Lassiter has hired a new head detective named Betsy Brannigan. Her credentials are impressive, but Lassiter is still upset the mayor wouldn't let him hire Juliet, his first choice.
At the convention, Shawn and Gus meet Randall Fishbeck, Professor Stein's assistant. He leads the guys through a courtyard. Across the way they see James Earl Craig, LAPD's mindreader consultant, getting taken away by security because he was proven to be a fraud and was not asked be a panelist at this year's convention. Shawn and Gus are his replacement.
Shawn and Gus are introduced to professor Stein, who then introduces them to their fellow panelists: Hazel Lazarus the Wicca consultant for the New Orleans PD, Garth Mathers the ghost whisperer consultant for the Anchorage PD, and Bernie the ghost. Garth explains that Bernie is literally a ghost and that he is sitting right next to him; Bernie is Garth's most trusted entity and they solve every case together. Shawn and Gus find this a tad wacky, but they go with it.
Before Stein brings the panelists out to the stage, Hazel calls Shawn a faker and says that Stein should have kept James Earl on the panel instead. Before Shawn and Gus are called to the stage, Professor Stein drops dead out of nowhere and the crowd is shocked and horrified.
Lassiter and Brannigan arrive at the crime scene. In private, Lassiter tells Shawn and Gus that he has a to plan to get Betsy to quit so he can hire Juliet. He tells them they should embrace the ludicrousness of this case so she'll realize she doesn't belong there and thus turn in her resignation. Shawn and Gus are on board, so Lassiter orders Betsy to work with Shawn, Gus and the paranormal consultants to solve the case. Betsy has trouble taking this order seriously, but she trusts her new chief and embraces her assignment in order to prove her worth at the SBPD.
