I don't think Michael got replaced, but two Michaels seems plausible. The conversation with Jason seemed a little OOC for Michael; the advice was good, but Michael usually kind of treats Jason like a little kid instead of being hammer blunt with him.

e: comedy option, there's two Michaels and it's loving Shawn in the fake suit rather than Vicki like we've been figuring.

e2: double comedy option, the above is true and pretending to be Michael makes Shawn start involuntarily turning good.

I do feel like the idea of two Michaels is still plausible.

I love how every crazy theory could be plausible simply because the show is that well written.

The thing is, I'm not just throwing it out as a crazy theory.

Look at (and more importantly, listen to) him in that scene where he's talking to Jason. He doesn't sound right for Michael's usual interactions with Jason; usually, he either softballs any criticism directed Jason's way or speaks frankly but under the assumption Jason won't understand him. In that scene, he's just being hammer-blunt about how badly Jason's been loving up with Janet, in a way that really reminds me more of how Shawn's dialogue is written.

My suspicion is that Shawn's been continuing to put his finger on the scale by donning the Michael suit and going out into the neighborhood to gently caress with our protagonists whenever they're not with Real Michael, and that this'll be caught when Jason brings up that conversation to Real Michael and Real Michael goes "wait what."
