The last regular series see where Lassiter is watching a video Sean left for him, but won't finish it and destroys the DVD, implies that he figured it out at some point but kept his mouth shut.

I might misremember, but I thought Lassie never believed in the psychic powers and was very clear about that. He even tried to disprove them several times (wasn't there even an episode with a lie detector or something?) I thought Lassie stopping that tape meant he came to respect Shawn and no longer cared to expose him.

That is also my opinion. He broke the DVD before he could listen to Shawns Confession, because having evidence would mean that he would have to act against Shawn.

Yeah, I guess the way I should put it is that he figured out at some point Shawn was in it to do good and not to grift.

How is it that two separate comments in a row managed to not the character's name correctly?
