Everything that could have gone wrong for Gus that day did. First he’d burned his breakfast and then he’d spilled toothpaste all down his favorite shirt. To make matters even worse, his faithful Blueberry had betrayed him by not starting, which had made him late for his real job. And just when he’d thought his day was looking up because he’d finished his rounds early, Shawn had dragged him there. To the office of Santa Barbara’s new big bad guy, instead of the simple lunch Shawn had promised. It figured that Gus’ bad day would get even worse, especially since big bad guy’s posse had guns and big, meaty fists…

They just can't wait.

A not-so-quick two-shot. Carlowe. Spoilers for 'This Episode Sucks'.

“He called me, you know.” Henry choked out, distress obvious in his voice. “Kid…kid said he needed a ride. I told him to catch the bus.”

Carlton looked over, wondering if his exhausted eyes and ears were deceiving him. No, it wasn’t the fact that Henry Spencer was opening up to him, if he could call a random statement ‘opening up’ It wasn’t even the fact that the man looked him straight in the eye when he said it.

He scoffed with bitter amusement, “If it’s any consolation…” Carlton said with a sigh, “I told him he could walk home.”

Henry didn’t seem surprised at the revelation. He broke eye contact, his gaze falling back on Shawn, motionless in the hospital bed.

“Guess it goes to show that the kid still doesn’t listen to me.”

The only sound that followed was the hissing of the ventilation machine, and the beeping of the monitors. Nothing else needed to be said.

When Shawn ends up in a completely preventable situation that leaves him worse for wear, his father and Lassiter take a one-way trip to Guiltina while Gus tries to sell a ‘slightly used’ Lazy Boy and Juliet is just caught in the middle of the mess.

Swearing and shameless Shawn whump. Spoilers fair-game through season 4

What are the chances of a guy on a Norton motorcycle running into a guy in a ‘67 Impala as they each crisscross the country? Pretty damn high.

"You're awfully perky for a guy who was just freaking out a couple of minutes ago."

"And you're awfully bitchy for a guy who just had his life save by a courageous bystander with fantastic hair"

“Time to roast a ghost?”

“Couldn’t have said it better myself.”
