Psych is a detective dramedy series created by Steve Franks for USA Network, where it ran for eight seasons from 2006 to 2014.Shawn Spencer (James Roday) was drilled from childhood by his father, a police officer, to have a strict attention to detail and other detective skills. As a result, Shawn effectively possesses a Photographic Memory and the ability to observe and put together clues too subtle for the average person to pick up.Unfortunately (and at least partly a result of the training), Shawn is equal parts prankster and slacker as an adult, with no real desire to apply himself in any normal occupation. As a result, he employs his skills to identify criminals and their methods in the news and calls crime tip lines for the reward. This backfires on him when he is arrested as an accomplice because the police are suspicious of how good his tips are, and believe that he must have been involved with the crimes.To avoid jail time and continue his lucrative-but-lazy crimebusting, Shawn tells the police he's a psychic. After a demonstration on several of the officers in the Santa Barbara Police Department, he is allowed on a case. After solving it, he opens up a detective agency and, to the perturbation of certain members of the Santa Barbara Police Department, Shawn and his best friend Burton "Gus" Guster (Dulé Hill) help the police solve crimes assigned to them by Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson).The two frequently collaborate with the real detectives Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) and Juliet "Jules" O'Hara (Maggie Lawson). Lassiter finds Shawn unbearably annoying, though he eventually grows to respect him, while Juliet is more civil to them, and eventually becomes Shawn's Love Interest. Shawn's retired father Henry usually makes at least one appearance an episode, sometimes just in the Flashback opening. Being that Henry taught him his skills, he is one of the few in on the con.As one could easily guess from just a passing glance at this page, Psych is a show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Shawn and Gus frequently talk about their childhood, which includes numerous references to The '80s and (increasingly) The '90s. With Shawn attempting to appear as a psychic whenever giving The Summation, he ends up doing comically inappropriate things when identifying a killer.Following the conclusion of the show's run, continued fan interest has led to Psych being revived as a series of TV movies. There is no set release schedule, however, as each is produced whenever the cast can spare the time. The first movie, a Christmas Special simply entitled Psych: The Movie, aired in December 2017. A second movie, Psych 2: Lassie Come Home premiered in July 2020 on Peacock. A third, Psych 3: This Is Gus, was released in November 2021. A further three films are in development.Not to be confused with The Mentalist on CBS, a show with a similar premise that has been the frequent target of Take Thats and lampshading within the series.

Halfway through season five, Psychic, Shawn is giving Fair Cop, Juliet advice about her upcoming two-week, ridonkulously romantic vacation with her boyfriend, and she shuts him up. Unbeknownst to him, she had overheard his previous confession of love to a third party.

Finale Season
 Psych / int_110a7d7
comment
Finale Season: The last season was billed as the last, and makes strides to wrap up the series. Chief Vick is briefly replaced, but ends up accepting a job as Chief in San Francisco. Lassiter was demoted to uniformed officer by the replacement Chief, but ends up as the new Chief after proving himself to the Mayor, and learns Marlowe is pregnant. Juliet follows Vick to SF, and she and Shawn do a long distance relationship until he decides to follow her in the Grand Finale, with Gus following shortly after. Later followed up with movies, however.

Control Freak
 Psych / int_11ad560b
comment
Control Freak: Lassiter needs to be in charge and it plays into his ego. It's caused him a fair bit of problems. He's also highly competitive and the biggest naysayer on the force as to Shawn's psychic talents. Henry was drilling Shawn in cop rules and skills since early childhood, and informed Shawn once that Shawn wanted to be a cop (despite Shawn disagreeing). Even after Shawn has been working as a consultant for the police for four years and has solved literally dozens of cases, Henry insists on riding him every step of the way, or flat-out refusing to hire him because he does not act like a proper detective, which he is not. True, Shawn is lazy and often needs pushing, but it is still excessive insistence on controlling his process given Shawn's demonstrable effectiveness. Not just with Shawn though. In the episode involving the dinosaur, a psychologist appears seemingly to deal with Shawn's attitude with Henry behind him, only for the end to reveal he was there to deal with Henry's need for control. Henry flipped out in anger. Lassiter also once went fishing with Henry and Lassiter was severely annoyed by Henry lecturing his fishing technique for the whole three hours. He admits that he understands a bit now why Shawn is the way he is.

comment
Marlowe seems to have transformed into this since her incarceration. It's paid off handsomely: she won the respect of quite a few of Santa Barbara County's most vicious female criminals (even remaining friends with one of them after her parole) and is now an accomplished fighter who can perform jumping kicks and break people's noses. Through it all, she remains (or at least tries to make people believe she remains) a sweet, slightly goofy girl who is quite comfortable allowing Carlton to think he needs to protect her.

Genre Savvy
 Psych / int_1777688d
comment
Genre Savvy: Not surprisingly, Gus has very stringent requirements for entering any horror-movie-like situation. Much of the humor of the show revolves around (sometimes rather selective) genre-savviness from various characters (Gus, as mentioned, often being the biggest source). In season 4, Shawn and Gus have become genre savvy to the point of arguing which movie the situation derives from on at least two occasions. In "Murder? ... Anyone? ... Anyone? ... Bueller?", Shawn spends much of the episode wondering if he should be comparing events to The Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink. He eventually concludes he's been looking at the wrong John Hughes movie. In "Tuesday the 17th", Shawn is acutely aware that they've stumbled into a slasher film scenario and keeps advising people to not make the same mistakes. No one listens.

Always Someone Better
 Psych / int_19d1c1ae
comment
Always Someone Better: Subverted eventually. Various characters try to match wits with Shawn either through Criminal Mind Games, The Perfect Crime or a rival investigator (one time a rival psychic detective who was on to his Hyper-Awareness scam). None have proven to be better than him, although he has had set-backs along the way. Even Henry, who trained him on how to do this, doesn't have quite the same talent. In the final season, with Juliet going with the Chief to San Francisco, the department ends up with new head detective Besty Brannigan. While just as quirky as Shawn (she has a peppy and light-hearted attitude and enjoys knitting and other activities, making things for her nephew), she is also just as smart as he is while also being as ruthless as Lassiter, even sharing the same type of gun. We never actually see how she works (though its hinted to be somewhat like Lassiter), but in the penultimate episode, we see her manage to nab the criminal before Shawn (albeit, Shawn was hindered with Gus suffering nightmares at the time.) Nonetheless, it's clear that they come to the exact same conclusions, but with her being an actual police officer, she can move through the evidence and identify suspects without Shawn having to do his shtick.

Celebrity Resemblance: In "Scary Sherry: Bianca's Toast", Gus is twice mistaken for the actor who played Bud in The Cosby Show (his name's Deon Richmond, by the way). This happens fairly often for people watching the show, too. It's given several references throughout the series after this point, including an episode where Shawn introduces Gus as Deon Richmond, much to Gus' dismay.

Shawn launches a similar stream of euphemisms when Lassiter doesn't understand that the bartender's partner is his boyfriend (rather than his business partner) in "Last Night Gus". Given how much time Lassiter spends with Shawn and Gus, it's not that surprising he doesn't get it at first.

Heh Heh, You Said "X": Shawn says he's selling tickets for the Policemen's Ball. Lassiter says "We don't have balls." Shawn says "There is absolutely nothing I can say to that." In another episode (about a character they're trying to investigate for fraud): In "We'd Like to Thank the Academy," Shawn and Gus are forced to enroll in a police academy crash course to make up for violating police procedures. They take advantage of a practice patrol to pull over Lassiter for "driving under the influence," leading to this exchange: Another from the Season 6 finale "Santabararatown," in reference to a suspect who escaped conviction when Henry was an officer in the eighties:

Wrong Genre Savvy: A promo features Lassiter thinking he is in a serious detective drama, complete with sexual tension between him and O'Hara a la Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Lassiter was convinced he and Despereaux were locked in a massive cat and mouse chase with the thief trying his best to outwit the dogged detective. Instead, Despereaux has no idea who the hell Lassiter is. Gus thinks he's the main character. Looking for a (suspected) vampire:

This Bear Was Framed: This is a somewhat regular thing, where it seems like once every few seasons there is an episode where an animal is falsely accused of being "the killer" and in danger of being "put down" for it (in one it was a puma, another the trope-naming polar bear, and in still another a shark), but the series sleuths uncover evidence that a person did the killing and then covered it up by making it look like a death by animal attack.

"Down Here!" Shot: One episode has Shawn and Gus being visited by a guy who used to bully them in school. When they open the door for him, they don't see anyone, until they look down. The guy isn't much bigger than when they were kids, but it makes him perfect for his current job as a horse-racing jockey. One of the cold opens pans between three men playing poker, then to a blank space where the fourth man should be, before panning down to reveal the fourth player as a then seven-year-old Shawn.

Cop/Criminal Family: Henry Spencer was a respected, by-the-book cop, while his son Shawn has technically been defrauding the police department for years by claiming to be psychic and selling his services. While he has genuinely good intentions and has actually done good work, if anyone ever manages to prove his deception, it would cause a lot of damage to the department. Jules is a good cop whose dad is a con man and brother is a black ops agent operating off the books.

Even Evil Has Standards
 Psych / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Several examples of Red Herrings that are still criminals. "A Very Juliet Episode" involves a powerful mob boss who was convicted of murdering a federal agent, and whose wrath was keeping Jules' ex-boyfriend in witness protection. Turns out he didn't do it: he prides himself on honor and especially on not killing and doesn't want his children to grow up thinking he was a murderer. Likewise, he himself is not after Jules' ex, though he can say nothing about those who would kill the man independently to gain his favor. He ends up hiring Shawn and Gus to find the real killer in exchange for making sure Jules' ex is never troubled again. Despereaux likewise draws the line far below killing, though he is not above a little High-Altitude Interrogation. The duo of robbers "Barbie And Clyde" are perfectly fine with lying, cheating, robbing and swindling folks out of their money and possessions, but likewise draw the line at killing. Also, they're against animal cruelty and digital piracy.

Attention Whore: Shawn, natch. That his 'psychic' abilities also conveniently enable him to solve crimes in a showy fashion where all attention is focussed on him is most likely not a complete coincidence. In each of the 'musical' promos, Shawn and Gus recreate a famous 1980s music videonote Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's "Ebony and Ivory", Hall and Oates's "Private Eyes", Simple Minds's "Don't You Forget About Me" only for it to gradually devolve into both men trying to push the other out of the way so that they can be the focus of attention.

Once an Episode: The show has a number of them. They mostly got added over the course of the first season or two. One started in the pilot. Pineapples: James Roday Rodriguez ad-libbed a bit in the pilot where he grabbed a pineapple that set-dressing had put in Gus's apartment, "Can I slice this for the road?" The crew loved it and stuck pineapples in every episode for the fans to spot. They even had a sweepstakes you could enter by identifying an episode's pineapple. The show almost always opens with a flashback to Henry teaching Young Shawn a lesson and/or teaching him a skill that will be useful in the episode. The show almost always ends with a Summation Gathering where Shawn can pull together all the threads and dismiss the Red Herrings, usually in front of Juliet and Lassiter. "Gus, don't be (a/an) [absurd thing]." Until he and Juliet get together, Shawn getting Distracted by the Sexy. Shawn giving Gus an absurd pseudonym. Lampshaded in an episode where Shawn introduces Gus to a convicted killer using their full real names. Averted in the series finale, where Shawn, knowing that it's going to be his last case, chokes: Also averted in "Feet, Don't Kill Me Now", where Lassiter introduces Gus by his full name. Gus's reaction makes him ask what's wrong, to which Gus says that he's not used to being introduced by his real name. Fist bumps.

Psychopathic Manchild
 Psych / int_3ae6199a
comment
Psychopathic Manchild: Marlowe seems to have transformed into this since her incarceration. It's paid off handsomely: she won the respect of quite a few of Santa Barbara County's most vicious female criminals (even remaining friends with one of them after her parole) and is now an accomplished fighter who can perform jumping kicks and break people's noses. Through it all, she remains (or at least tries to make people believe she remains) a sweet, slightly goofy girl who is quite comfortable allowing Carlton to think he needs to protect her. Yang is a giggly, childish psycho. It especially stands out when she's with Mr. Yin, her cold father who forced her to become who she is.

Noodle Incident

comment
Noodle Incident: In "Talk Derby to Me," Chief Vick cites "The Prosthetic Nose Debacle of 2005" to explain why Lassiter is obvious when undercover but doesn't explain it any further. She also mentions in season 1 "The Secret Santa Debacle of 2005" to warn O'Hara from doing anything for Lassiter's birthday. Evidently, 2005 was a very eventful and stressful year in the life of Carlton Lassiter. Also never explained was exactly what happened the two times Shawn and Gus were at the Mexican border and why those incidents taught Gus that he should never go anywhere with Shawn blind.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Psych / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In the season 3 premiere, Gus is confronted by his superior because of all the times he skipped out on work to work on cases and nearly has to quit Psych to keep his job, until Shawn is able to blackmail a higher up to get Gus' boss off his back. In one episode, Lassie is framed for killing a criminal being put in eyewitness protection; when investigated, an Internal Affairs agent brings up his separation with his wife, his rivalry with the victim, and the fact that he discharged his gun in multiple inappropriate moments. This all makes him look guiltier. In the season 7 premiere: Gus and Shawn sit on a mine hidden in their couch and have to sit for a long time until bomb squad arrives and defuses the bomb; when they get up, they suffer from "jelly legs" after blood was cut off from their legs due to sitting for so long. Later, Shawn tries to pull down the bad guy's house down by chaining the Blueberry (Gus' blue Toyota Yaris/Echo) to the house's support beam and wrecking it Lethal Weapon 2-style. However this fails for two reasons: 1.) The car used in the movie to pull down the house was a heavy duty pickup-truck; instead Shawn and Gus used a small hatchback style car, which breaks in half due to not being supported for that kind of force. 2.) The house's support beam was reinforced to the ground by concrete and not to a loose hillside. Shawn and Gus attempt to calmly get the villain of the week (a woman who killed three people because she didn't want to be sent back to her abusive step-father) to surrender, because they feel sympathetic for her due to what she when through; she seemly complies, only to attempt to murder Shawn and Gus because despite having a tragic past, the woman is a mentally unstable psychopath who does not want to go to jail. Gus quits his job after he becomes tired of his boss' abusive behavior to him and his co-workers. However, Gus then realizes that he needs to get his job back since he has to pay his (and Shawn's) bills and he can't wait to look for another job. This ends up with Gus finding his boss' corpse and accidentally messing up his office, making it look like he killed him. Shawn and Gus use a disguise from last season in a season 8 episode to sneak into the police station; they are immediately detained because cops aren't as lax as the security at a gun club. Plus, they were both wearing half of a fake beard.

Woman Scorned
 Psych / int_4063acfd
comment
Woman Scorned: The killer in "Cloudy... With a Chance of Murder" was the victim's secretary who was angry that he never showed any interest in her despite being a notorious womanizer. Marlowe's parole officer. Lassie had a one-night stand with her years previous and never called her back so she takes it out on Marlowe. Lassie tries to circumvent her restrictions, then rubs it in, which just makes it worse. Juliet gets an I Told You So moment when reminding him that she advised Lassiter against hooking up with her because she was "crazy". This was the motivation for the killer in "Heeeeere's Lassie". She had severe mental issues from being left at the altar twice and was in love with the two previous tenants of Lassiter's new apartment. When they made it clear they did not have mutual feelings for her, she drugged them into madness and they committed suicide. She tried to do the same to Lassiter out of fear that he could uncover her crimes.

Becoming the Mask
 Psych / int_44606d14
comment
Becoming the Mask: Juliet often has a problem with getting too into her undercover personalities. Shawn gets sucked up in the street racing culture in "Shawn and Gus in Drag (Racing)". This happens to Gus in the episode "Black and Tan". It's justified, since it's more for a girl than anything, but he still acts like a model even when it's just him and Shawn. We find out in "Shawn and Gus in Drag (Racing)" that he's still using the head oil years later. In later seasons, Shawn does his psychic routine even when there's no one around but Gus and/or Henry, who are both in on the secret. When called on it, Shawn just says it's "force of habit." It's gotten to the point where they don't even call him on it anymore.

Race Against the Clock: The SBPD often gives Shawn a deadline to solve the crime or get out of the way so that the real police can investigate.

Comedic Sociopathy
 Psych / int_4a4d6f7c
comment
Comedic Sociopathy: Lassiter is usually the center. So many people make him look foolish. One of the more extreme examples of this was the snowglobe gag in "Gus' Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy", which sailed right past "cruel prank" into "cruel and unusual". Gus also gets a fair bit of this from Shawn as well. Lampshaded during "An Evening With Mr. Yang", where Shawn's callous goofy jokes over the kidnapping of a waitress seem like crossing the line even by the show's very loose, wacky standards. Shawn confides in Gus that if he starts taking the case seriously, he'll be playing by the killer's rules instead of his own, which would allow the killer to win and would likely cause Shawn to actually have to deal with the incredible amount of fear he's mentally blocking out.

Credits Gag
 Psych / int_4af55b78
comment
Credits Gag: Seen occasionally. In "Lights, Camera, Homicido" and "No Country for Two Old Men", the song is in Spanish. In "Bollywood Homicide", it's in Hindi. In "High Top Fade Out" and "Let's Do Wop it Again", it is a Capella sung by Boyz II Men. The Christmas episodes have a version with cheery holiday instrumentals and snowflakes superimposed over the screen. When Curt Smith of Tears for Fears made a guest appearance in "Shawn 2.0", he sang the theme for that very same episode. The Shining tribute episode also has a unique version of the credits. In the fifth season opener, "Romeo and Juliet and Juliet", the cast's names appear in Chinese before being shown in English, though the theme song is, regrettably, not in Chinese. The episode "Bounty Hunters!" features the Camp Tikihama spirit song over the end credits, which was supposedly made up by the Case of the Week. The song makes a return a full season later in "Tuesday the 17th". The Twin Peaks tribute episode had the Log Lady Julee Cruise singing the Psych theme song's lyrics to the Twin Peaks theme song. The opening credits of the Vigilante episode is given a comic book feel.

At one point they even SHARE a fake beard. In the film, Shawn wears Gus' Hagrid costume to search a fence's stash. Still Paper-Thin Disguise, though.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Psych / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The pilot has Lassiter paired with a different junior detective, with whom he's having an affair. She's gone by the second episode, and Lassiter's estranged from his wife. Lassiter would also become much more morally upright (and so not the person to have an extramarital affair with a co-worker) and more inept with the opposite sex. Shawn also worked a variety of jobs which on rare occasions had esoteric relevance to the plot. That disappeared relatively quickly and was replaced by Shawn learning his Chekhov's Skill in a flashback at the beginning instead. Shawn's also more hostile and belligerent towards Lassiter in the first episode, whereas in later episodes he becomes more playful, if still disrespectful. In the first few episodes, Shawn routinely claims to be speaking with and interacting with ghosts. That went away quick. And just in general, Shawn puts far more effort into his fake psychic episodes in the first couple of seasons, as opposed to later seasons where he mostly just puts his hand to his head and says "I'm getting something..." In Juliet's first appearance, we see a photograph of her parents who Shawn guesses have been together for 30 years (from her reaction, we can assume he's right) and her father does not resemble Frank O'Hara as portrayed by William Shatner in later seasons. In the first two episodes, young Shawn is played by a different actor each time. The flashback in the second episode takes place later than most episodes, so Shawn was about thirteen. Beginning in the third episode, young Shawn was played by Liam James, and the flashbacks generally took place in a particular year which advanced with each passing season. Shawn and Henry's relationship is played for angst in the first couple of episodes. This quickly shifts to a more light-hearted bickering while flashbacks become goofier and show young Shawn giving as good as he gets. In the first season, the Psych logo on the window is blue instead of green. (In the season eight episode "Cloudy...With a Chance of Improvement," which is a remake of season one's "Cloudy...With a Chance of Murder," the logo is blue in the first scene as a nod to this detail, then green for the rest of the episode.) In the pilot, Shawn is a sharp-shooter. He re-uses Lassiter's partner's target sheet, and hits each hole she has already shot. Shawn rarely uses guns after that. Mostly because they refuse to give him one. Though it's only seen very briefly, Henry's house is very clearly different in the pilot than in the rest of the series.

Suspect Existence Failure: Many, many times. It's pretty much a coin toss whether or not the Red Herring will make it through the episode alive. One episode had Shawn suspect a fashion mogul of killing her husband right up until she died at his funeral. He then commented "Okay, probably not the wife." Ultimately subverted when it's learned that she actually did kill him. She died from the delayed effects of him poisoning her. As the show reaches its later seasons, the prime suspect dying starts occurring almost Once per Episode. Even the movie does it, when the Thin White Duke (Billy McGoldrick) is killed, though The Man Behind the Man is revealed seconds later.

He and Gus stop at a Dunkin' Donuts stand in a convenience store in their uniforms to illustrate, and even ask if there's another donut stand somewhere in the store.

Crazy-Prepared
 Psych / int_50f66629
comment
Crazy-Prepared: Henry has some of those tendencies. Once when walking home with Shawn and Gus to see a shadow in his living room, Henry reaches into the birdhouse and pulled out a stun gun. Cue appropriate responses from Shawn and Gus. Lassiter is over-prepared for work and personal life. He has eight guns in various parts of his house, including the shower, the toaster oven, and a bowl of nuts. Revealed in an episode where Lassiter is suspected of killing an FBI witness in a big drug case. He has to go through the whole Turn in Your Badge trope and his apartment is searched over, revealing various hidden gun spots. Shawn and Gus then react appropriately: with slightly disguised surprise and creeped-out looks. Turns out the FBI missed one, which Lassiter used to take down the real murderer. He's also made plans for whose organs he would want in case he ever needed a transplant, who he would eat first if he was trapped in an Alive-esque scenario, and who from the department he would procreate with if they were the last two people on Earth. Even Shawn is a little weirded out by this. Lassie reveals that he's been building up a tolerance for chloroform over the last fifteen years. Lassiter has also rubbed off on Juliet by the time of the movie, to the point she encourages her partner to keep a gun hidden in his house, and she herself has taken karate lessons.

Cops Need the Vigilante: Shawn usually commits about two dozen serious infractions solving every one of his cases. He usually gets called on it by the people he works with. Only once did it actually screw up a case.

Hurricane of Euphemisms: In "Santabarbaratown", when Shawn and Gus are interviewing someone connected to the case: Shawn launches a similar stream of euphemisms when Lassiter doesn't understand that the bartender's partner is his boyfriend (rather than his business partner) in "Last Night Gus". Given how much time Lassiter spends with Shawn and Gus, it's not that surprising he doesn't get it at first.

Affably Evil
 Psych / int_537dd8fe
comment
Affably Evil: Pablo Nuñez from "No Country For Two Old Men" is the ruthless leader of a Mexican crime syndicate whom Juliet's stepfather Lloyd owes money too. However, Pablo is a pretty reasonable guy and was willing to forgive Lloyd's debt to him when Lloyd found a pair of cufflinks that belonged to Pablo's father and Pablo is even grateful enough to invite them to a party. The only reason he even tries to kill Lloyd and Henry later on is because Lloyd stole some US Mint plates from him. Psych: The Movie has two examples: El Proveedor, a local fence. He crosses paths with Shawn when the former comes looking for the engagement ring that was stolen in the series finale. When Shawn's "premonitions" end up coming true for El Proveedor, he is so grateful that not only does he track down the engagement ring, he officiates Shawn and Juliet's wedding. Allison Crowley's nameless henchman who is dubbed the "Black Gentleman Ninja" by Shawn and Gus. He is friendly and polite before attacking Shawn and even after being arrested and captured congratulates Shawn and Juliet on being married.

White Bread and Black Brotha: Inverted and parodied in the dynamic between Shawn and Gus. Shawn is white, Brilliant, but Lazy, and leads an elaborate con to convince the police that he's a psychic investigator. Gus is his Black and Nerdy partner who reluctantly participates in Sean's scheme and cautions against many of his ideas.

Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: Shawn Spencer's arch-nemesis is the father-daughter duo of Mr. Yin and Mr. Yang, the latter first appearing in the Season 3 finale and the former debuting in the Season 4 finale. Despite her insanity, Mr. Yang is Affably Evil and likes Shawn, saving his life twice (the second time at the cost of her own life). Mr Yin, on the other hand, is a remorseless psychopath who tries to kill Abigail, Jules, and Gus just to hurt Shawn, and views his daughter as nothing more than a tool.

Mistaken for Gay
 Psych / int_561dab6b
comment
Mistaken for Gay: In one episode, Shawn feels an officer's muscles and makes comments to find out if he's working undercover as a vigilante. Comments like "You look like you could handle yourself in a dark alley full of guys" and "I bet you're real nice with the hand=to=hand action". Of course, the officer interprets the actions and comments to be a sexual advance and offers to set Shawn up with a friend. Likewise, Juliet wants to welcome a new female officer into the department, even buying her a cupcake, and the officer files a sexual harassment complaint. Happens twice with Shawn in "Murder? ... Anyone? ... Anyone? ... Bueller?" First, after nobody believes Shawn when he says someone was murdered and he's arguing with Gus, Abigail thinks they're an arguing like an old married couple, then when questioning the couple he suspects with Juliet he goes out of his way to compliment the male suspect on his appearance, including a comment about his "package", which earns him confused looks from everyone else. Shawn and Gus go on a The Bachelorette-esque show and are more preoccupied with each other than the actual bachelorette. The bachelorette herself thought they were gay. In "Lassie Did a Bad Bad Thing," the killer tries to cover up his crime by orchestrating a murder-suicide between Lassiter and Shawn, explaining the motive as Shawn being Lassie's "former lover." Shawn reacts with indignation, but not for the reason you think.

 Psych / int_562abd51
comment
Let's Get Dangerous!: Lassiter is often the butt of jokes and most of his cases seem to get solved by Shawn while he fumes silently.note The show does make it clear that Shawn is called in very occasionally, and Lassiter is actually an extremely competent detective. That said, he has immense knowledge of firearms and has received enough Character Development so as to make clear that he's not Frank Burns. Shawn drops much of the joking and becomes scarily competent when Henry gets shot.

Gus quits his job after he becomes tired of his boss' abusive behavior to him and his co-workers. However, Gus then realizes that he needs to get his job back since he has to pay his (and Shawn's) bills and he can't wait to look for another job. This ends up with Gus finding his boss' corpse and accidentally messing up his office, making it look like he killed him.

Split Timelines Plot

comment
Split Timelines Plot: If only Shawn hadn't lent Juliet his jacket at Lassiter's wedding! She finds evidence that Shawn used to find a suspect, confirming he is faking the psychic act and breaks up with him. "Turn Right or Left For Dead" explores this in addition to how events follow in an investigation, one where Shawn goes home with Juliet and another where he himself runs into the victim and it changes the outcome. The two versions have different color toning too, with the apparent "happier" version much warmer (and has Shawn and Juliet as almost completely OOC).

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Shawn is loud, dramatic, snarky and outright childish on every case. The fact that he expertly solves each one keeps him employed by the SBPD. Lassie has many peculiarities (see: his little black book of criminals he's arrested) and is tough to get along with, but he's head detective for the city. Woody the Coroner eats food around dead bodies, has an unbelievably odd personality, and wouldn't know traditional professionalism if it smacked him upside the head. However, he's (usually) good at his job and a well-respected coroner (even having graduated at the top of his class).

Serious Business: Shawn is a walking inversion; he regularly cracks jokes while investigating murders, much to Gus' dismay. And Lassiter's. And Juliet's and Vick's and Henry's... Lampshaded in "An Evening With Mr. Yang" when Gus calls Shawn out for wise-cracking during a particularly horrific case. Shawn, in a moment of genuine fear, confess to Gus that he's terrified by the case and the wise-cracking is the only thing keeping him from completely losing his shit. Gus spends the rest of the episode making forced jokes despite withering stares from Jules and Lassiter, throwing himself on the humiliation grenade to keep Shawn from losing his grip.

Meaningful Name: Yang and Yin. In Daoist philosophy the Yang side is light, warm, active and energetic, while Yin is dark, cold, calm and quiet. Yin is associated with death, night, the old, and the earth. And Yang is associated with life, daytime, the new, and heaven. Which becomes even more meaningful when Shawn reveals Yang probably never actually killed anyone and later when she dies and goes (maybe) to heaven.

He has eight guns in various parts of his house, including the shower, the toaster oven, and a bowl of nuts. Revealed in an episode where Lassiter is suspected of killing an FBI witness in a big drug case. He has to go through the whole Turn in Your Badge trope and his apartment is searched over, revealing various hidden gun spots. Shawn and Gus then react appropriately: with slightly disguised surprise and creeped-out looks. Turns out the FBI missed one, which Lassiter used to take down the real murderer.

Gaslighting
 Psych / int_727a65e0
comment
Gaslighting: The villain in "Let's Get Hairy" was a psychiatrist who was drugging his superstitious patient into thinking he was a werewolf to frame him for a murder. In "Not Even Close... Encounters", a corrupt CEO deliberately causes a chemical spill in an area so he could drill for oil without anyone knowing about it. A Crusading Lawyer discovered what he was doing and tried to expose him. Knowing of the lawyer's history of psychotic episodes, the CEO made the lawyer think he'd witnessed his co-worker being abducted by aliens knowing that no one would believe him and thus potentially have his case dismissed. Lassiter is a victim of this in "Heeeeere's Lassie". The killer did the same thing to the previous tenants of his apartment as revenge for spurning her affections. She gaslighted Lassiter out of fear that he would discover her crimes.

Remember the New Guy?: Drake (played by Mekhi Phifer), the sudden fifth member of Gus' old a capella quartet, Gus' sister (who's never mentioned before, not even in the previous Christmas episode when both of Gus' parents are falsely accused of murdering a neighbor), and Gus' ex-wife. In "Lassie Did A Bad, Bad Thing," several SBPD detectives who apparently work in the same building (notably Drimmer and Ocampa) are seen for the first time even though Lassiter, O'Hara, and Vick act like they all have an extensive history with them. Subverted with Lassiter's friend Stumpy. Lassiter tries to convince everyone that he and Stumpy have been pals forever, but they actually lost touch in high school. Lassiter was just embarrassed at his lack of guy friends.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Psych / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Chief Vick's pregnancy in the first season became part of the plot due to Kirsten Nelson's pregnancy. For several episodes in season 2, Lassiter had his arm in a sling. The reason for this was never revealed, but was implied to be something embarrassing. It was actually caused by Timothy Omundson's real-life injury. Lassiter only gets a single scene in the first movie as a result of Timothy Omundson suffering a severe stroke. This is written into the second film, as Lassiter undergoes a stroke as well.

Celebrity Paradox
 Psych / int_7b8b3def
comment
Celebrity Paradox: Being big fans of Eighties pop culture, Shawn and Gus have made at least one reference to The Breakfast Club. But if Ally Sheedy played Allison Reynolds (you know, the basket case), then who's the serial killer Yang? Judd Nelson, who has been personally referenced on previous episodes, guest-starred in "Death is in the Air" as a scientist. Anthony Michael Hall was also in the film and was referenced before appearing in "No Trout About It" as Harris Trout. This also brings up Shawn's jab at an FBI agent at the season 7 premiere about his "soft, peachy Anthony Michael Hall-ish face". Molly Ringwald also guest-starred in "Shawn, Interrupted". In the "The Head, the Tail, the Whole Damn Episode" in which Jeri Ryan guest-starred, Shawn makes reference to the season finale of Leverage, where Ryan had been a semi-regular cast member in the same season. They also like to reference movies Dulé Hill appeared in: Holes in "65 Million Years Off" and The Guardian (2006) in "You Can't Handle This Episode". Thank God that The West Wing started in 1999 and really wouldn't be their sort of thing anyway, or else they'd be facing some very interesting paradoxes. Officer Dobson being played by Val Kilmer practically rips a hole space-time with the level of paradox involved. Moreover the show will routinely bring in guest stars from shows and movies that have already been explicitly referenced even just a few episodes prior to their appearance with no comment made about the issue. Shawn mentions that Kristy Swanson in Higher Learning would be worth making into a stained glass art piece, and she later came into the show as Marlowe, Lassiter's Love Interest. James Roday Rodriguez's role in the 2005 remake of Dukes of Hazzard is referenced (and derided) by both Shawn and Gus in the season 8 episode "Cloudy... with a Chance of Improvement". In "Mr. Yin Presents...", during Shawn and Gus' first visit with Yang in the psychiatric hospital, she ask Shawn's opinion on her tell-all autobiography, and Shawn admits to preferring Bruce Campbell's. Campbell would later guest-star in season 8's "A Nightmare on State Street."

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: By telling Despereaux that he was disappointed to learn that he wasn't actually the highly skilled international thief he pretended to be, Shawn inspired him to prove he could really do it. By complying with his request to visiting him in prison, Shawn ended up accidentally helping Despereaux escape.

Entertainingly Wrong: Constantly on the show, mostly with Shawn as despite his great intellect and skills, he often jumps to the wrong conclusions based on his lack of real police experience. One episode opens with a flashback of Henry finding Shawn writing a book report on Charlotte's Web despite not having finished the book. Shawn says he doesn't see the need as it's perfectly obvious what will happen: Wilbur wins the prize at the fair and he and Charlotte live happily ever after. A smiling Henry bets Shawn a trip to Disneyland he gets an A and Shawn already starts planning it with no idea he's about to fail. This ties into the rest of the episode as Shawn is about to accuse a man of murder but Henry interrupts to point out the guy is innocent because of a detail in his file that Shawn didn't bother to read. Shawn has to turn it around to make it look like he meant to accuse the innocent man to "flush out" the real killer. This also ties into the plot of Shawn working with what he believes is a think tank working out how to stop the murder of a billionaire...only to realize too late that the leader of the think thank is the one who intends to murder the billionaire, and he's just given him the plan.

Artistic License – Law: In one episode, Shawn is able to solve the case because he was able to view somebody's psychiatric records, saying that doctor-patient confidentiality is void if the patient is accused of murder. This isn't even remotely true, and, even if it was, the records wouldn't be handed over to someone who isn't even a cop or DA.

comment
Broken Pedestal: When a case ends up exposing a Dirty Cop ring back when Henry was a detective, Shawn fears this on various levels. He isn't so much concerned of Henry being one of them, but his partner Lou, one of the dirty cops, was so close to the family young Shawn called him "uncle". Shawn's real concern was that he always consider his dad a supercop who should have seen the deception. This gets rebuilt when it's revealed that Henry could never get a leg up because both of his friends (and one more) were doing everything they could to shake him off,and even then, it was difficult to do so. Additionally, Henry was the only one to not become a Dirty Cop out of the group of four (with the last one, Jerry, being involved in something far worse than Jack or Lou), maintaining his integrity and dedication to what it means to be a real cop. Henry's discovery that his three closest friends on the force (one being his partner Lou) were all dirty cops shakes him up to where it leads to him retiring for the second and final time from police work (the last one revealed to be involved, Jerry, was also a part of something much worse and a slip-up leads to Jerry shooting Henry.) Despereaux the master thief turned out to be running an insurance scam with art curators, so he wasn't the Classy Cat-Burglar that Shawn hoped he was. In his follow up episode, Despereaux even noted with amusement how much Shawn wanted him to be a legendary thief.

Doing In the Wizard
 Psych / int_86d4f985
comment
Doing In the Wizard: Every single episode of the show with a Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane element lands squarely in the 'Mundane' category, with any and all fantastical elements explained as being either misinterpretation of evidence or a flat-out "Scooby-Doo" Hoax. For instance: Season 1's "Who You Gonna Call?" is about a client of Shaun's believing they're haunted, with inexplicable things happening throughout the episode. It turns out that the client had dissasociative identity disorder; one of the alternate personalities was a trans woman, the other was a muderous psychopath trying to prevent the second personality from transitioning. Season 4's "Let's Get Hairy" has the client of the week believe that they're a werewolf. The client was being gaslit by his psychologist, who's trying to frame him for murder. Season 6's "Heeeeeres Lassie" is a massive Homage to The Shining, and has Lassiter fly into a murderous rage, blood dripping from light fixtures, and another apparent haunting. A serial killer is targeting inhabitants of a specific apartment, giving it a reputation for being haunted.

Chemically-Induced Insanity: Used a few times: In "Shawn Interrupted," Shawn goes into a mental ward to try to prove that a crimelord is faking insanity to get an Insanity Defense. Turns out this trope is at play instead, and he is being continually dosed by one of the nurses. Happens to Lassiter in "Heeeeeere's Lassie", where the killer is putting a chemical in the air vents to drive certain residents insane. Occurs yet again when a law firm has a man dosed so that people think he's an insane conspiracy nut to discredit them when he is building a case against them when he finds that they've had some shady dealings.

Took a Level in Jerkass: Juliet gets noticeably colder towards Shawn and Gus in season 4, due to her own Character Development as a more serious cop and Shawn's rejection at the end of season 3. Shawn gets hit pretty bad by this in season 5, though signs of it pop up in season 4 (mostly by starting to abuse Gus in ways that would have long term consequences, such as making expensive charges on his credit card).

Wham Episode
 Psych / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: The season 4 finale definitely counts: Mr. Yin, the even more psycho partner to serial killer Mr. Yang, kidnaps Juliet and Abigail seemingly just to screw with Shawn. Mary, the Yin-Yang expert from the Third Season finale gets killed. Shawn manages to save both women, but Abigail breaks up with him and Juliet seems to have a breakdown as she falls crying into Lassiter's arms. And finally, the last shot of the episode implies that Yang knew Shawn when he was younger. The season 5 finale even more so. Mr. Yin returns for revenge, almost killing Shawn and Gus in the process. Yang is revealed to have a Freudian Excuse for her obsession with Shawn. It turns out that she is Yin's daughter and she always thought of the Spencers as a model of what a real family is. Then, it is revealed that Yin has taken on a new apprentice. After overcoming all odds to make it out alive, the episode ends with Lassiter discovering that Shawn and Juliet are together. "Neil Simon's Lover's Retreat": Moments after Shawn and Juliet seemingly laugh off the idea of marriage in their near future despite going on vacation together, Gus is given the Game Boy stolen from Shawn earlier in the episode, which he had been obsessing over in what appeared to be typically immature fashion. But after hearing a strange rattling inside, Gus opened the battery compartment to discover the engagement ring Shawn had stored there. Season 6 continues the trend. Not only were ALL of Henry's team when he was a cop corrupt, one of them SHOOTS HIM at the very end of the episode. In "Deez Nups": After Shawn gives Juliet his jacket to wear, she finds one of the clues that Shawn used in one of his many "visions" and begins to realize Shawn isn't actually psychic. "Psych The Musical": Yang is killed off. "1967: A Psych Odyssey": The Chief is transferred, and Lassie becomes the new chief. However, the mayor won't let Juliet advance to Head Detective, so she accepts an offer to be transferred with the Chief.

Asshole Victim: Nelson Poe in "Weekend Warriors" was shot and killed when he looked up and saw the episode's bad guy during the Civil War reenactment rehearsal. Shawn and Gus later find out that he was sleeping with another man's wife before he died. Nigel St. Nigel in "American Duos" is a would-be case of this; he manages to survive the episode, but the fact that he's a hyper-critical, snooty, disdainful and arrogant British asshole means that finding who wants to kill him isn't particularly easy, since there's a list of suspects practically queuing up. Vince Wagner in "Meat Is Murder, But Murder Is Also Murder" is an restaurant critic with ridiculously high standards. Not only did he give every restaurant he went to bad reviews for their best dishes, he also gave his wife ratings on everything she did (including sex), of which she never rose above two out of five. Professor Hahn, the calculus teacher in "If You're So Smart, Then Why Are You Dead?". In addition to having a temper, he's a blackmailer. Not only did he blackmail a student in the past for his tuition money and had the student expelled when he didn't comply, Hahn also did the exact same to the episode's killer when he found out the killer's real identity. Oil rig Safety Inspector Butch Hicks in "There Might Be Blood". He was such a stickler for the rules that he wrote up everyone for even the slightest infraction. Unsurprisingly, the entire crew of the rig is glad to be rid of him. Old Man Fuller from "Gus's Dad May Have Killed An Old Guy". He had a history of being incredibly difficult with his neighbors and was revealed to be blackmailing them meaning that pretty much everyone in the neighborhood had reasons for wanting him dead. Gus's boss Dorian Creech from "Office Space". The man was an overly aggressive, cruel jerk and even worse than Ogletree from "Ghosts". Hell, in his introductory scene, he throws his letter opener at his secretary just for not opening his mail for him. This is why the case is hard to solve on top of Shawn and Gus tampering with the crime scene, since every employee is a viable suspect.

Pstandard Psychic Pstance: Shawn exaggerates this to the point of mockery, finding more and more outlandish ways to flail around to represent his "powers." Notable that the fingers-to-temple is just an exaggeration of Shawn's natural mannerism when he's focusing on a memory. You can see him do it in the first flashback from the pilot. In one episode, he figured out some evidence from a photo and stated it calmly. When Jules asked him how he knew he said that he got it psychically, but didn't have enough energy to do the usual "hands on head" thing. In "Thrill Seekers & Hell Raisers" Gus participates in the summation, and Shawn helpfully puts his hand next to Gus' head. This is similar to the season one episode where Shawn insisted on rubbing Gus' "magic" head while getting his psych on. Lampshaded in an episode when Shawn deduces something about his father and gets into his psychic position. And again by Gus in "Feet, Don't Kill Me Now":

Knocking the Knockoff: A later show, The Mentalist, blatantly ripped off the show's exact premise (a man who can cold-read details of a crime scene via Sherlock Scan solves crimes by pretending to be psychic), and Psych took several opportunities to call them on it. At one point, Shawn explains what he does as "like The Mentalist but not fake" and then adds that if he were a fake psychic, it would be "a virtual carbon copy." In another episode, a character is made fun of for listing The Mentalist as one of her favorite TV shows.

Bathos: All the time. Shawn jokes while in mortal peril. The first episode of the Yin/Yang trilogy has him state it's a coping mechanism to deal with the stress and danger. Gus immediately plays into it to make himself a target of everyone's anger and give Shawn a break.

"Not So Different" Remark
 Psych / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: Lassiter seems to think of the Spencer father and son being basically the same person. Same for Captain Connors, who in a less-than-lucid state, called Shawn "Henry". Allison Cowley remarks on this regarding her and Juliet, wince they're both blonde, can kick ass and are intelligent. Except for, you know, Allison's lack of empathy.

Character Blog: Lassiter and Gus both have blogs. In Lassiter's case, the blog is actually written by the actor who plays him, and both blogs have quite a few nice character details. Lassie also has a Twitter now, also written by Tim Omundson. And yes, if you tweet him, he will respond in character. Juliet and Chief Vick also have Facebook accounts, as do Shawn himself and Abigail Lytar. It's not known whether they are written by their respective actors/actresses, but Jules, Shawn, and Vick will respond in character to your comments and Wall Posts. Shawn's Facebook account was actually a plot point in one episode. And now Lassiter has gotten in on the Facebook action. This version of Shawn's Facebook and this version of Gus's Facebook interact with Lassie's, linked above. Along with McNab.

Took a Level in Badass: Well not "badass," but Gus manages to pull off a Shawn style "cover" on his own in the season 5 opener. Marlowe Viccellio emerged from prison with some mad Muay Thai moves as her newest talent, and also learned how to break a grown man's nose with a single punch. Juliet has taken karate lessons by the movie and can flip up and deliver a roundhouse kick to her opponent's face.

Dramatically Missing the Point: When, in the seventh season, Juliet discovers that Shawn has been lying about being a psychic, it implodes their relationship. He spends the following episode mulling things over and tells her "If I hadn't given you my jacket, we would still be okay." No, Shawn, it wouldn't still be okay, and that's the point.

The Dissenter Is Always Right
 Psych / int_9f085fbc
comment
The Dissenter Is Always Right: Happens quite a lot with Shawn as the dissenter, much to the annoyance of Head Detective Carlton Lassiter. Many episodes such as "Truer Lies", "Dead Bear Walking", and "Shawn, Interrupted" feature Shawn going against Lassie's belief that a certain suspect was responsible for the crime of the week, outright going beyond the law to assist said suspect. In other episodes, when a suspect claims to be innocent of a crime, Shawn tries to prove their innocence, regardless of everyone else's opinion. In "The Head, Tail, and the Whole Damn Episode", Lassie pre-emptively claims that a shark attack victim was murdered to avoid getting showed up by Shawn. This results in him becoming a laughingstock in the media. However, Shawn insists that Lassie was right and encourages him to follow his gut instinct. As per formula, the victim was actually murdered, having been stabbed to death with a serrated blade that resembled a shark tooth. Gus himself gets a moment in "Cog Blocked", where he insists that a man with a boring, unremarkable life was murdered and did not commit suicide (even Shawn himself is pretty sure it was a suicide). It turns out that the killer was his boss, who killed him to cover up an insurance fraud scheme.

Secret-Keeper: Gus and Henry are in on Shawn's shtick from its inception. This allows both to function as The Watson and explain how he figured it out. Also Declan and, oddly enough, Curt Smith from Tears for Fears. Starting with "Deez Nups", Jules keeps the secret. It's implied Chief Vick knows he's not a real psychic. She often has a sarcastic tone when asking him for psychic insights, and Shawn frequently fails to pretend he's having a vision when he's talking to just her alone.

Chekhov's Skill
 Psych / int_acecb17d
comment
The pilot has Lassiter paired with a different junior detective, with whom he's having an affair. She's gone by the second episode, and Lassiter's estranged from his wife. Lassiter would also become much more morally upright (and so not the person to have an extramarital affair with a co-worker) and more inept with the opposite sex. Shawn also worked a variety of jobs which on rare occasions had esoteric relevance to the plot. That disappeared relatively quickly and was replaced by Shawn learning his Chekhov's Skill in a flashback at the beginning instead. Shawn's also more hostile and belligerent towards Lassiter in the first episode, whereas in later episodes he becomes more playful, if still disrespectful.

comment
Abusive Parents: Although it's made very clear throughout the series that Henry loves Shawn dearly, some of the flashbacks (or real-time references to Shawn's past) are rather worrying. For instance, Henry taught young Shawn how to escape a locked car trunk... by locking him in a car trunknote And then he got mad when Shawn followed his instructions and kicked out his tail light!. Adult Shawn is also upset by the fact that, when he was eight, Henry hid Shawn's Easter eggs by burying them five feet underground. Henry claims that he left loose dirt to indicate a fresh dig to make it easier. Shawn points out that this fresh dig was hidden under a camouflage tarp covered with bricks and broken glass. On a more amusing note, there's still two he hasn't found. Shawn is also visibly surprised whenever Henry shows even small amounts of affection, even claiming Henry hadn't said "I love you" in to him years.

City of Adventure
 Psych / int_b408c009
comment
City of Adventure: Santa Barbara, of all places. The real city is a small town of less than 100,000 people that has one or two murders a year. While not all episodes feature murder, and not all episodes that do feature murder take place in Santa Barbara, the murder rate in Psych's Santa Barbara must be at least a couple of magnitudes higher than that if the police need Shawn and Gus's help on a dozen murders per year. On top of that, the city has whatever backdrop is needed to make the plot work, such as a thriving illegal drag racing scene or a war brewing between Asian gangs. Given that the writers treat Santa Barbara as a much larger city than it is, one wonders why they didn't just go with a big city in the first place. Also, Mr. Yang is described as "the most notorious serial killer this city [Santa Barbara] has ever seen". So, how many has it had? Everyone assumes Santa Barbra is a nice town... Santa Barbara County has over 400,000 people, and since the show has come on, the murder rate has increased sevenfold. Life Imitates Art? "It's the murder capital of the world."

Later, Shawn tries to pull down the bad guy's house down by chaining the Blueberry (Gus' blue Toyota Yaris/Echo) to the house's support beam and wrecking it Lethal Weapon 2-style. However this fails for two reasons: 1.) The car used in the movie to pull down the house was a heavy duty pickup-truck; instead Shawn and Gus used a small hatchback style car, which breaks in half due to not being supported for that kind of force. 2.) The house's support beam was reinforced to the ground by concrete and not to a loose hillside.

Being big fans of Eighties pop culture, Shawn and Gus have made at least one reference to The Breakfast Club. But if Ally Sheedy played Allison Reynolds (you know, the basket case), then who's the serial killer Yang? Judd Nelson, who has been personally referenced on previous episodes, guest-starred in "Death is in the Air" as a scientist. Anthony Michael Hall was also in the film and was referenced before appearing in "No Trout About It" as Harris Trout. This also brings up Shawn's jab at an FBI agent at the season 7 premiere about his "soft, peachy Anthony Michael Hall-ish face". Molly Ringwald also guest-starred in "Shawn, Interrupted".

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Shawn, in "Ferry Tale", vehemently objects to going with Gus on an environmental trip. As they board the ferry, Gus points out that Shawn did agree to go, but that he apparently wasn't paying close attention when he did. Shawn, offended, begins ranting about how he has keen, well-developed mental abilities and an infallible sense of attention. He forgets his complaints mid-rant when Gus gives him a Snickers bar (in a shiny wrapper, no less, making this trope count even more) and goes "Ooh!". This works at least twice. In "Dead Man's Curveball," he accidentally ingests speed. In the middle of a conversation, he becomes distracted by Gus's ear.

Mirror Character: Lassiter and Shawn can be more alike than they realise, often turning up at the same locations looking for evidence without knowledge of each other. A prominent example is the penultimate episode of season four, in which Lassiter starts acting on a "crazy" hunch and conversely Shawn starts doing actual policework. More subtly in the same episode—both Shawn and Lassiter do part of their routine in moments when it's completely pointless, both rectify it as being a "force of habit".

Improbable Aiming Skills: The few times that Shawn's marksmanship is demonstrated, he makes unlikely shots with precision. In the pilot, he hits the same bullet holes that Lucinda Barry does at the shooting range. In "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark," he shoots out the villain's engine block during a Car Chase Shoot-Out despite recently having been shot himself. In "We'd Like to Thank the Academy," he shows off his speed and precision with gun. Unfortunately, he's an undiscerning shot, so it's more like super-accurate Reckless Gun Usage. Juliet in the Friday the 13th Tuesday the 17th episode shoots the bad guy in the hand, disarming him. Immediately lampshaded.

Lassiter was the one who inspired Shawn's Phony Psychic routine in the first place by accusing him of being an accomplice in crimes in the pilot. He has no one but himself to blame for Shawn's presence. In the pilot, Shawn exposes Lassiter's relationship with his partner Lucinda resulting in her getting transferred and the department implementing a rule against workplace relationships. This bites Shawn in the ass four seasons later when he and Juliet start a relationship which they have to hide from the rest of the department.

Aesop Amnesia: In one episode, Juliet learns that she can dress nicely and look like a beautiful woman without compromising her competence as a detective. After which she immediately goes back to wearing the same pantsuits she's been wearing all series. "Does not ever learn a lesson" is basically Shawn's quintessential personality trait, though he actually does go through Character Development as the show goes on.

Internal Reveal: Shawn attempts to come clean to Lassiter in his recorded goodbye message in the finale. Subverted when Lassiter stops the recording and breaks the disc rather than hear it, though. The audience is fully aware of who the villain is in the movie, but not how they're connected to the characters until the characters find out. At least until The Man Behind the Man is revealed.

Dropped After the Pilot: The show gave Detective Lassiter a female partner (Anne Dudek appeared as the competent and skeptical Detective Lucinda Barry, partner and lover of the major character Carlton Lassiter) with whom he was having an affair and who was suspicious of Shawn's "psychic" abilities. Post-pilot she is never seen again, and is said to have been transferred out in the second episode because of the affair thing and replaced with Shawn's trusting, less skeptical eventual Love Interest, Junior Detective Juliet O'Hara.

Unbelievable Source Plot: Parodied. Shawn is gifted with excellent non-supernatural observational skills but rather than demonstrate these skills, opts to convince the police he is psychic. Only one of the cops doubts his powers are really psychic and is ridiculed by his colleagues for not believing.

Plausible Deniability: It's strongly hinted that Chief Vick knows that Shawn's psychic abilities are just an act but, in addition to her friendship with his dad, considers his skills too valuable to ignore. So she plays along for both this trope and knowing Shawn would be a major liability if he was a more official consultant.

The season 5 finale even more so. Mr. Yin returns for revenge, almost killing Shawn and Gus in the process. Yang is revealed to have a Freudian Excuse for her obsession with Shawn. It turns out that she is Yin's daughter and she always thought of the Spencers as a model of what a real family is. Then, it is revealed that Yin has taken on a new apprentice. After overcoming all odds to make it out alive, the episode ends with Lassiter discovering that Shawn and Juliet are together.

Criminal Mind Games: The Yin-Yang Killer in the episode "An Evening with Mr. Yang." Notably, what led to the capture of Yang was Shawn absolutely refusing to to follow the game, which pissed off the killer so much that she walked right up to Shawn with a gun and an angry rant about him not playing, surrounded by undercover police. And then again in the season 4 finale when Mr. Yin, Yang's partner, comes to screw with Shawn and the SBPD.

Retirony: Shawn spends all of "Bounty Hunters!" ducking whenever someone says that they are going to retire. When asked what he is doing he explains that that's when somebody usually gets shot, right? In the season six finale, Henry retires due to finding out that two of his partners from his days in the force were crooked, and he could no longer put his heart in it. As he tells this to his last remaining partner, a tragic case of I Never Said It Was Poison happens, and the last partner shoots Henry as they're walking along the beach to keep him quiet.

Two Lines, No Waiting: Though everyone is usually working on the same case, if Jules and Lassiter happen to be working on a major case while Shawn and Gus take a smaller, weirder or seemingly less important case, you can expect that the smaller case is in some way a cover-up of the big case.

No Badge? No Problem!: Shawn will often tell people he's "The Head Psychic for the SBPD" as if he's an actual officer, when he's actually a consultant/hired-on Private Detective. Doesn't stop him from investigating everything and everyone vaguely connected to a high profile or interesting case, even cases he hasn't actually been hired for it. Da Chief puts up with it because he gets results. It's to the point cops from other jurisdictions have assumed Shawn is the boss and Detective Lassiter is supposed to answer to him, rather than the other way around.

Nothing Is Scarier: In "Scary Sherry: Bianca's Toast," we never see the aftermath of Bianca's death by electrocution in the bathtub, but Juliet's Thousand-Yard Stare tells us that it can't have been pretty. Similarly, in "Tuesday the 17th," Annie's dead body is never shown, but it's heavily implied that Clive hacked her to death with an axe. When Juliet—a trained cop who's seen dozens of dead bodies—finds her, all she can do is press a hand to her mouth in horror.

Cassandra Truth

Cassandra Truth: In "In Plain Fright", Shawn sees a murder... in a haunted house. He has a tough time getting anyone to believe him. In "Truer Lies", Shawn has to prove the truth of a witness testimony given by a compulsive liar who had a history of sending the police department on wild goose chases. It's also implied that Shawn sees a lot of himself in the guy. "Not Even Close... Encounters" had a lawyer who frequently suffered from delusions claim that his co-worker had been abducted by aliens. No one believes him due to him having made a similar claim previously and his insistence that a textile company he was suing had deliberately caused a chemical spill. As it turned out, the lawyer was right about the company deliberately causing the spill as the CEO had discovered oil under some land and wanted people out of the area while he drilled for it. The CEO exploited the lawyer's history of mental illness to make him think he saw an alien abduction to discredit him.

That Came Out Wrong
 Psych / int_d1affec1
comment
That Came Out Wrong: After easily cracking a case, Shawn goes out with a beautiful woman. He realizes just as she invites him back to her place that he has made a mistake. His comments that the case was "too easy" and "I can't believe how quickly I nailed this!" make it sound like he is calling her a tramp, and she leaves. In the football episode: Gus (who is masquerading as a team manager/doctor/masseur) says that he won't massage the football players because he only uses his hands "to touch [him]self." In the same episode he tells a football player he admired that "I slept on your face for years!" When Shawn notes that he and Gus are being played as pawns in a game, Gus replies, "I'm no pawn, Shawn; I'm a queen!" In "We'd Like to Thank the Academy": Memorably, Lassiter about the SBPD in the first season: "We don't have balls." The season 6 finale (ahem) plays with this a bit: This: This came with a touch of Brick Joke: In one episode, Gus angrily declares that he just wants to return to the spa retreat he'd booked for himself. Quote, "I will be naked, and unashamed, under my robe, while they rub Little Shawn down!" 'Little Shawn' was a name he'd given the biggest stress pain in his life. The ladies that had pulled up next to him at the traffic lights, needless to say, take it the wrong way. Lassiter in "Deez Nups" tells someone "If you don't reveal yourself, I will whip out the enormous piece I have under my robe!"...with the mailman standing a few feet away.

Hyper-Awareness: Shawn, thanks to his father's relentless training. He even gets a special effect to show when he notices something. Henry has this too, but he doesn't get special effects. It's often played with as having such a talent also requires the proper knowledge and/or skills to connect the pieces together. Shawn has referred to Gus on his knowledge of pharmaceuticals many times. Another time he joked that he identified a poisoned sandwich because the number of sesame seeds on the regular hotel sandwiches were much different (it was actually the style of toothpick to keep them together). He remarked that he was observant, not the Rain Man. A rival (fake) psychic working for the FBI also had some talent in this, at least able to deduce when Shawn was using his skills.

Training from Hell: A watered down version, but Shawn's father Henry relentlessly drilled Shawn from very early in his childhood (to the exclusion of a normal childhood, save Gus — which isn't saying much) to have the uncanny attention to detail and eidetic memory which now allows Shawn to convincingly fake having psychic abilities. In episode 4x09, we learn that the training didn't stop there. Henry taught young Shawn how to escape from being locked in a car trunk... by locking him in a car trunk.

El Spanish "-o": Shawn's time on a Spanish soap opera mostly consists of middle school Spanish, but for his summation he switches to accented English with some -o-ing.

Red Herring: Happens every so often, with Shawn (happily) and Gus (reluctantly) having to exonerate them. A common occurrence in Psych is that they start focusing on a particular suspect, only to find him/her dead by the time they go out to catch him/her. A notable example is in the Season 4 finale: Mr. Yin wears ankle weights to make Shawn believe Mary is the killer.

Everyone Can See It: The Shawn/Juliet (non-)relationship has been commented on by several Case of the Week characters, and even Gus seems to be trying to help it along. In Season 5, when Shawn and Jules finally start dating, Shawn has trouble telling Gus, fearing that Gus won't take it well. When the truth comes out, Gus doesn't act surprised... until Shawn catches him eating a bowl of caramels, which earlier he said Gus had a tendency of doing whenever Shawn enters into a serious relationship. When Shawn questions if it is, Gus defensively hides the bowl with Shawn rolling his eyes at what's gonna happen.

Contrived Coincidence: Whenever Psych has a case unrelated to the one being solved by the SBPD, there will be something to connect the two at the end.

In another episode, the SBPD is looking for a "Regina Kane", who is actually one of the personalities of Psych's client.

Flashback with the Other Darrin
 Psych / int_e01bf9f9
comment
Flashback with the Other Darrin: The episode "Mr. Yin Presents" ends with the reveal of a photograph of Mr. Yang and young Shawn, at the time played by Liam James. The photograph is brought back in "Yang 3 in 2D," but the young Shawn in the photograph is now Skyler Gisondo, who replaced James in season 5.

In the season 4 mid-season finale, the first half or so of the episode is inter-cut with these flashbacks. In one episode after being captured and being locked in the trunk of a car Shawn flash backs to his father teaching him EXACTLY WHAT TO DO when you've been captured and locked in the trunk of a car. And, this being Henry, he actually threw Shawn in the trunk for the lesson.

Last-Name Basis: Everyone calls Burton Guster "Gus" and Lassiter "Lassiter", though Shawn calls him "Lassie" (unless he's trying to be serious). Juliet alternates between "Lassiter" and Carlton when she's frustrated. Lassiter calls Shawn "Spencer", which naturally causes some confusion when he does the same thing to Shawn's father.

Whole-Plot Reference
 Psych / int_e303d198
comment
Whole-Plot Reference: "Shawn And Gus In Drag (Racing)" is a spoof of ''The Fast and the Furious" movies. "Dual Spires", which is an homage to Twin Peaks. "Last Night Gus" which was inspired by The Hangover. Also "Heeeeeere's Lassie", which mostly follows the plot of The Shining. "100 Clues" is all over Clue.

Insistent Terminology
 Psych / int_e563bf09
comment
Insistent Terminology: Crops up from time to time. One example is a 1987 flashback in which Henry claims to have taken something of Shawn, unbeknownst to him. Shawn calls it robbing, but "robbery is the taking of property by force or fear" and Henry is not afraid of anyone in the room. Gus then calls it burglary, but that involves breaking in — "this is theft, pure and simple".

Flanderization
 Psych / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: In the first couple of seasons, Shawn was perfectly capable of acting like a normal adult when the situation called for it or he was off the job. By Season 3, his need to be as obnoxious as possible even when it seems likely to get him killed has become as pathological and uncontrollable as Adrian Monk's phobias. This is actually referenced in the show, where it's suggested that his success has completely gone to his head. It is also suggested, in the first Yin episode, that Shawn may be intentionally playing up his quirks as a way to avoid having to deal with the stress and fear that comes with the job. Gus's eating. At first, both Shawn and Gus were bit of big eaters, but in Season 7, Gus had eaten meat that he found in the woods (which could have killed him) also eaten some more meat later in the same episode,(which everyone thought was Lassiter!) Also, one a guy suddenly dies, Gus wanted to know if their could share his food. Lassiter also became more and more uptight and rigid as time went by with more humor revolving around this. Also, the affair he has with his partner (not Juliet) seems inconceivable in later seasons. Woody, when first introduced, was a competent coroner with a goofy sense of humor who happened to like Shawn and Gus and operate on their wavelength. By the time the second movie, rolls around he had become a rank incompetent who struggled to get through a single sentence without saying something dumb.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: Parodied by (who else but) Shawn. When investigating an oil rig, the captain of the Coast Guard finds them and asks what they're doing. Shawn replies "NOT eating candy, I can tell you that". For the record, they really weren't. Also, from "Earth, Wind, and... Wait for it..."

In "Not Even Close... Encounters", a corrupt CEO deliberately causes a chemical spill in an area so he could drill for oil without anyone knowing about it. A Crusading Lawyer discovered what he was doing and tried to expose him. Knowing of the lawyer's history of psychotic episodes, the CEO made the lawyer think he'd witnessed his co-worker being abducted by aliens knowing that no one would believe him and thus potentially have his case dismissed.

Crossover
 Psych / int_eb7c34cf
comment
Crossover: invoked Tragically averted. Word of God says that if Psych hadn't made Leverage a fictional show within the Psych universe (see Celebrity Paradox above), Leverage's Eliot would have had an uncle named Henry. The favor was returned in Leverage, however, as Hardison mentions that Nate has Psych in his Netflix queue. Being a USA original series, though, it's seen several crossovers in commercials. For instance, Shawn and Johnny Smith in a diner arguing over who has it harder (fake psychic due to psychologically abusive upbringing vs. real precog due to coma) before seeing Adrian Monk counting and arranging the corn on his plate and agreeing they've got nothing on him. Done for another promotional commercial in which Gus has his wallet stolen by Neal Caffrey while chatting with both he and Peter Burke. In the series finale, Adrian Monk is given a passing mention as SFPD's resident consultant.

The Yin-Yang Killer in the episode "An Evening with Mr. Yang."

Moment Killer: Shawn and Juliet have a... complicated relationship. When Juliet finally makes an offer for a date, Shawn happens to be on his way to a date with a childhood sweetheart. Far, far worse is when he has to give her hints to his location over the phone under the pretense of saying goodbye to a lover. When he says he loves her and she begins to respond in kind, he intentionally cuts her off by saying "Goodbye, Abigail" to prove it was fake. He later admits to Gus that he knew she was about to say she loved him.

Product Placement
 Psych / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: As with pretty much everything on the show, lampshaded and played for laughs: Shawn has an iPhone with a custom "Psych" skin. He even namedrops the Yelp app in "Shawn takes a Shot in the Dark" (It's even available for purchase in real life). For "Shawn (and Gus) of the Dead," Red Robin asked the writers of Psych to do product placement. Unbeknownst to them, there were already two references to Red Robin written in the episode. Or how about the Axe Body Spray plug Shawn makes when he notes that it's like catnip for women, complete with the approving head-nod of Jules? Gus's credit card. Note to whoever wrote that bit: Showing it being used to make unauthorized purchases does not make people want it. In the episode "Think Tank" Shawn is trying to safely maneuver a billionaire through a hotel hallway, when he sees a small bottle of Axe shampoo in a cleaning ladies cart, He also demands a giant bowl of Skittles, some Big League Chew, and a "dope NBA air horn" (the last item claimed to be at Gus' request) in exchange for Psych joining the Think Tank. In "Ferry Tale" Gus manages to distract Shawn by giving him a Snickers bar. Twice. After mocking Shawn for being easily distracted. Shawn namedrops Snyder's of Hanover-brand pretzels occasionally. One episode even includes a lingering close-up shot of a pack. Shawn eats it so often in the middle few seasons it almost becomes a Trademark Favorite Food - second to pineapple of course. A Dunkin' Donuts coffee advertisement is done hilariously out of place in "Daredevils!". Probably intentionally, as Shawn and Gus randomly stop mid-scene to talk about coffee. The donuts also appear in a lengthy scene in "We'd Like To Thank The Academy." Funnily enough, because much of the show's humor comes from random references, the product placements are usually unnoticeable, or at least not nearly as annoying as in most shows. Honey Bunches of Oats makes a couple of (relatively) prominent appearances early on. Gus's car, which was referred to as "The Yaris" in season one, and every season after that referred to as "The Blueberry". Woody offers Shawn and Gus Oreo Cakesters. Mexican Coke, it has real sugar and everything. It's impossible to tell if the Cheetos line in "Meat Is Murder, But Murder Is Also Murder" is actually a Cheetos ad or not, since the actor was trying to show why he should be the new food critic for the newspaper. It also turns out to be a key clue to solving the case.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 Psych / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Shawn's unorthodox methods have been the deciding factor in arresting murderers, thieves, con artists, and even serial killers. Many times over the course of the series the Santa Barbara police would have imprisoned the wrong person, and many people would be dead, without Shawn's help. Despite this, every week the cops say they don't have time for his "hunches," his help is not needed, and please get out of the way so the "real" cops can do their jobs. This is especially noteworthy for Detective Lassiter, who is perpetually dismissive and condescending toward Shawn, despite the fact that he would be rotting in jail for a murder he didn't commit if Shawn hadn't cleared his name.

Depending on the Writer: The Shawn/Henry relationship. Shawn often claims it's a bad one, and a few of the flashbacks show Henry overreacting wildly, but most of the time they seem to get along okay, even in many of the flashbacks. (Of course, the divorce didn't help the relationship.)

This came with a touch of Brick Joke: In one episode, Gus angrily declares that he just wants to return to the spa retreat he'd booked for himself. Quote, "I will be naked, and unashamed, under my robe, while they rub Little Shawn down!" 'Little Shawn' was a name he'd given the biggest stress pain in his life. The ladies that had pulled up next to him at the traffic lights, needless to say, take it the wrong way.
