- Quotes
Juliet O'Hara: [answers the phone] Shawn!
Shawn Spencer: This call is to say goodbye.
Juliet O'Hara: Shawn, are you okay?
Burton 'Gus' Guster: [behind Juliet] Try to get anything: a location...
Juliet O'Hara: Shawn, where are you?
Shawn Spencer: Don't... don't ask me any questions, 'cause I can't say anything else. If you care about me, you'll understand.
Juliet O'Hara: [sits down] I'm listening.
Shawn Spencer: We're not going to be able to have... much of a future anymore, but... back at where we were, I'll be there, okay?
Juliet O'Hara: Back... I don't know what that means, Shawn. What are you talking about?
Shawn Spencer: The wind chimes that I got you for your birthday... every time you hear them from now on, that'll be me.
Juliet O'Hara: Okay... Shawn, first of all, you are going to be fine. We're going to find you, okay? Don't worry.
Garth Longmore: [behind Shawn] Okay, this is supposed to be a goodbye call. Now, tell her you love her and let's go!
Shawn Spencer: Listen, before... before I go, I have to say one more thing.
Juliet O'Hara: Of course, Shawn. What is it?
Garth Longmore: [behind Shawn] Say it!
Shawn Spencer: I... I need you to know that... I love you.
Juliet O'Hara: [stunned] Oh... Shawn... I think that I...
Shawn Spencer: Goodbye, Abigail.

spoiler alert
Episode finds Shawn, usually the center of the action, out of commission holed up a victim of kidnapping. Gus has to team up with Juliet and work together. Similar with Henry and Lassie all working together to pick up breadcrumbs Shawn has left for the gang to come to his rescue.
The plot is a bit more serious and darker than we're accustomed to for the series, but it worked. Shawn used lessons he learned from his father to survive the ordeal and we learn Shawn is a crackshot with a pistol. We also see further development in Juliet's interest in Shawn, despite his relationship with Abigail.
Hands down one of the better executed episodes and a must watch/classic. There have not been many like this (outside of the Yin/Yang killer mythology) which stinks because the writing crew did a bang up job.
