Getting Lassiter to walk through doors backwards is so funny because it was JUST on the limit of what Lassiter might be willing to do because he can play it off casually, but Shawn can still tell that he's doing it and get the satisfaction.

shawn’s dumb childlike demeanor lets him get away w shit like this in a way no one else could bc to everyone in the world (minus like gus and henry and his mom for obvious reasons) he isn’t smart enough to read the entirety of a person from limited experience (i think this takes place in s2 or 3 so he hasnt known lassie long at this point) but he DID and we got so much from it
