Biography[]
You Can't Handle This Episode[]
Ewan first was introduced in S4E10 "You Can't Handle This Episode" as a former soldier who is now hired out by the government for covert missions. Ewan helps his little sister Juliet out with a murder case that involves the military. He has a Top Secret DoD ID, which he uses to help the police and the Psych duo get onto the military base. He is ordered (by a shadowy, unidentified figure) to get rid of the murderer before he's taken in by the police. He secretly destroys evidence that would help the police in their investigation. At first Shawn and Gus think that Ewan is the murderer, to the anger of Juliet, but eventually they work with him and find an illegal gun seller. Ewan saves our duo's lives and gets them away safely. Ewan, Shawn and Gus tell the police and Major General Felts who the culprit is, but as Ewan slips away Shawn realizes that Ewan is more involved than he thought. Shawn and Gus catch up with Ewan only to see him about to shoot the murderer to avoid bad publicity for the army. Shawn tries to talk him out of it, but he can't. Fortunately, Juliet arrives and arrests Ewan before he can shoot the man. When the Dept. of Corrections vehicle comes to take him away, however, Ewan has somehow disappeared, and was apparently never supposed to be on the vehicle, his arrest record having vanished without trace.
One, Maybe Two, Ways Out[]
In S5E9 "One, Maybe Two, Ways Out", Nadia tracks down Shawn and Gus and mentions that she and Ewan were operatives together. She says he was impressed with their skills, so now she wants their help in erasing herself. Juliet later reminds Shawn to be careful trusting Nadia because Ewan didn't particularly turn out to be very trustworthy himself.
Psych: The Movie[]
Ewan makes a second appearance in the Psychverse at the end of Psych: The Movie, purportedly to wish Shawn well in his life with Juliet and give him his wedding present. However, in reality he's fleeing from a SWAT team and he, Shawn and Gus need to escape through the back door to catch a flight to Oslo. When he appears this time, Shawn's 'heads-up display' lists him as "Ex-Black Ops".
Trivia[]
- Since Ewan is played by WWE wrestler John Cena, there are numerous references to Cena's career and 'Captain America' persona in the ring.
- We learn in Psych 2: Lassie Come Home that the escape to Oslo was successful when Ova Asblorn asks our duo whether they've ever been to Norway and Shawn replies "Just once, with my brother-in-law."
- According to his uniform, Ewan is a Private First Class. However, the lowest enlisted rank in the US Special Forces is that of Sergeant.
