This show is a gem

[philtstone]

psych is my favorite adaptation of sherlock holmes because every episode is like holmes and watson are on the case! And Also Holmes's Dad Is Here Too

he’s a teller of tales

shawn's deep trust of lassiter keeps catching me so off-guard like when he's held captive and lassie and henry both turn up he tries to yell "carlton" not "dad" and when he sees a guy with a gun come into the restaurant he goes straight for lassie and keeps trying to get his attention instead of literally any of the other dozens of cops in the room with them and when he's telling someone to call the police he tells them to ask for lassiter, not jules, not vick, lassiter. like he spends all his time provoking lassie but the second there's danger there's literally no one else he trusts more

I’m in the camp that Vick knew Shawn wasn’t psychic but I also think she saw what he could do and went “I’m about to have the best arrest numbers in the county” and just let him do whatever

psych episode where shawn begins to have psychic premonitions (carbon monoxide poisoning)

[kosmikowboj]

you know now knowing that as kids shawn played bassoon and gus played clarinet it’s truly criminal there was never an episode involving a local symphony orchestra. like, one of the principal musicians dies—call it the principal flutist—and foul play is suspected, so shawn convinces the chief to let them go undercover. gus is still using his old clarinet, but henry got rid of shawn’s bassoon like ten years ago so shawn makes the department rent him a really nice one. lassiter’s huge qualm this episode is that he thinks shawn and gus are making a mockery of the beauty that is classical music. shawn actually feels very strongly about the case because one of the pieces they’re performing has a majestic bassoon solo that he was supposed to play in the eighth grade until he got stiffed for first chair. gus and jules are the only ones being normal.

lassie and jules end up arresting the second chair flute player because it seems like a jealousy case, but shawn isn’t convinced. he goes down the rabbit hole and uncovers this crazy romance subplot about how the principal bassoonist and the principal flutist were sleeping together, but then the flutist slept with someone else in the orchestra—call it a percussionist (they’re always doing that)—and so he killed her. shawn claims he learned this through the instruments speaking to him. the high stakes moment of the episode is when the bassoonist tries to kill the percussionist, but our fave crew end up saving the day.

the episode ends with shawn and gus playing in the concert and shawn doing the bassoon solo since the principal was arrested for murder. biggest plot twist of all is that he actually sounds pretty good.

another random note is that lassie has it out for the second chair flute because he used to play oboe when he was younger and got relentlessly bullied by the flutes. shawn finds this out and forces bonding between the two of them by sharing his bassoon trauma. lassie does not seem to care. because the percussionist gets injured in the scuffle near the end of the episode, shawn convinces the orchestra director to let lassie play the triangle in the concert. later on in the series, there’s a throwaway line about how shawn can’t get ice cream with gus after a case because he’s busy. there’s a honk outside the psych office and shawn jogs out, gets in lassie’s car, and they go to community orchestra together.

oh also the henry subplot of the episode is that he and the director of the orchestra go way back for some reason and that’s the only reason that shawn and gus are allowed to go undercover. shawn is pissed at henry for getting rid of his bassoon and henry tries to turn it into a lesson about responsibility that is immediately undermined by the department renting one for him.

do you see my vision

ik it was intended primarily for funny show reasons but shassie is just a crazy dichotomy. Guy with commitment issues vs guy who commits too hard. Guy with no dad vs guy with too much dad. Guy with net negative social skills who desperately wants them vs guy with incredible insight into people who hates himself for having it. Guy who’s surly and mean to hide need to be loved vs guy who’s breezy and charming to hide need to be loved

Gus has to dress as a trash can to complete the joint costume.

where the flip is the psych ttrpg episode? y'know, like, the team needs to do an undercover op at at a games club but no one besides shawn and gus have any idea what they're doing, so shawn runs a campaign to give them all some experience.

lassie starts out completely unenthused but after a while gets too into it (specifically the notion of 'winning') and spends an all-nighter studying the rules before coming back the next day and purposefully killing off his character so he can replace it with one he minmaxxed to shit, but it barely impacts the game bc he keeps rolling shit numbers. juliet ends up being really cracked at the roleplaying aspect and her character romances gus's instead of the self-insert npc shawn had set up for her. gus and shawn keep arguing over interpretations of hyper-specific rules. henry joins in a reluctant attempt to bond with his son over his interests, and even though he's miserable and apathetic, he keeps rolling really high and stealing lassiter's kills.

after having a really good time defeating the bbeg, they realize that this entire time they've forgotten about the crime, but then it turns out mcnab solved it all with vick during the B plot.

during the closing scene, gus comments on how shawn didn't so much as place a finger to his head this episode, so shawn pretends to divine his ice cream order. bickering ensues.

[philtstone]

very fun canon psych concept we dont talk about enough is henry being known as the human lie detector while his son shawn is the 68 lies per second guy

[sargentoh]

everyone’s always like ‘ronans so catholic’ in reference to like his deep spirituality or shame in dreaming or whatever but nobody uses it to talk about how even after adam and ronan made out shirtless all night he made them sleep in separate bedrooms. like that is the most catholic he’s ever been

Shawngus: An outsider's perspective

[grinchwrapsupreme]

It is key to lassiters character that despite being a guy obsessed with masculinity and such is that 90% of the important people in his life are women who he loves and respects so much he would blow up the precinct about it
