Who ya gonna call? (The DID/trans ep)
Ill be honest i was nervous to rewatch this one but turns out it held up better than i thought. I mean, the worst of it is that the DID person is the murderer but that was such a common tv thing back then for procedurals. Every one had to have a DID ep, even though, as Psych points out, its so exceedingly rare. I get it, its a fun concept, but yeah, don’t make them the violent ones when 9 times out of 10 they’re the victims of violent crimes. I will say though, Psych made sure to include they were getting the help they needed and they really didn’t have to.
But what a cool way to show it though, having the other personalities act like ghosts. It feels very poetic. And to have one personality trans is such an interesting layer on top of it. It really can’t get more complicated than that.
This episode also tells us so much about Lassiter! Hes trying desperately to win back his not-yet-ex wife its kind of heartbreaking. We’re starting Psych right at the beginning of Lassiters downfall. He gets separated, has an “affair” with his partner who gets reassigned because ppl found out thanks to Shawn, and i believe its later implied he lost the promotion to captain because of that affair. And then Shawn comes along and he’s solving his cases. I have to wonder though, since we see in this ep how distracted he can be when he has personal issues, if Lassiter isn’t necessarily a bad detective in the beginning but just going through some shit and missing things. It kind of makes me understand why he’s so hostile to Shawn in the beginning. Not that thats any excuse. Just because you’re having a bad day doesn’t mean you get to shit on other ppl’s. And it was fun to see lassiters and Juliets miscommunication. It was nice to see them easing into their partnership, and allowing friction, particularly:

What was henry going to do if that kid just started wailing on shawn??? Honestly, probably would have tried to teach shawn how to hit back and would’ve got him pummeled.
Its kind of funny that in this ep Shawns all this guy believes in ghosts, hes crazy, when in later eps he’s so excited about aliens and bigfoot haha. I can only conclude Shawn doesn’t really believe in anything supernatural but definitely wants to. I think it would have been better if Shawn didn’t think the guy was crazy right off the bat but maybe had a stalker, or intruder. (P.s were the writers implying Shawn was right from the beginning and they were crazy, or was that just poor wording??)
Sidenote: Shawn just casually spoke german and seemingly understood her response. He probably simply knew enough to impress her, but still. He does this a few times i think in the series where he lets it slip how much he actually knows.

Lassiter, texting group chat: What flavour of ice cream do you guys want? I’m at the store so be quick.
Juliet: Moose Tracks is good!
Shawn: What the fuck is that!?
Juliet: How dare you insult moose tracks??
Shawn: No. No no not that. What the hell. Why do you spell flavor like flavour, Lassie. It’s like you have flavor but then this guy shows up and is like “Oui Oui Would you like chocolate flaVOUR or vanilla flaVOUR.
Lassiter and Juliet: what?
Shawn: I don’t get it why add the EXTRA u when it’s PERFECTLY FINE AS IT IS!?

The reason Psych is the Important Show of All Time is because it said "friendship is the MOST important thing." Like, yes, the romances were good but the show spends even more time emphasizing and developing the friendships and that's why it rocks. Lassiter and Juliet love and support each other unconditionally without even the slightest whiff of romance and it is SO. REFRESHING. When Juliet almost dies, Lassie sacrifices his favorite gun to save her without any hesitation. He's the one there to hold her while she cries. She's his confidant. She leaves everything she knows behind so he can chase his dream of being chief without reprocussion. That's a deep, wholesome kind of platonic love. They also never had Shawn be jealous of how close Jules and Lassie are - instead, in the final episode, we see Shawn thanking Lassie for loving and supporting Juliet. We simply don't do that jealousy crap here. Lassie and Jules are best friends and that's an excellent thing. And then there's Shawn and Gus. Those characters are narratively and physically inseperable. The show makes it VERY clear that, without the other, neither one is complete. They balance each other and exacerbate each other's hijinks at the same time. They're closer than close and everyone around them just accepts it. It's just the way those two dumb boys are and no one is going to try to get between that. And then, of course, SO many friendships develop over the course of the show. Lassie and Shawn form a begrudging friendship eventually. Juliet and Karen end up bonding more than I think either expected. Friendship is the beating heart of this series and it's presented in a way that is unique and fun and I just don't see a lot of other shows that do it like Psych did.

Forget Me Not is such a tender episode. Kurtwood Smith did a phenomenal job portraying how heartbreaking Alzheimers is. And Shawn is so soft hearted. I get part of the reason he’s helping him is because the captain stuck up for him with his father. But you can tell Shawn genuinely cares for him.
Santa Barbara is giving off small town vibes haha this is the second classmate they’ve run into already and i know theres at least 3 more coming.
Im going to be honest, i don’t think Trish Connors was written well. She’s very two dimensional and mostly serves the b plot. Ashley Williams was good though. She has a wholesome quality about her.
This crime is so sad. This guy went looking for his birth parents and ended up murdered. And then his bio-dad finds out it was his own wife who murdered him. How devastating.
I looked it up and felis concolor actually is latin for mountain lion. I thought he made it up haha
You know you’re in season one when you see this street ;)

What was this scene?!?!?! It feels problematic but as I’m neither black, African, or speak Xhosa its not my place to say. Im just gonna say its a fun shawn and gus scene and leave it at that 😬

i do think if the show aired in today’s time shawn and lassiter would’ve hooked up once. it wouldn’t change anything about their dynamic but they just need to get it out of their systems ya know? then shawn would joke about it for the next three episodes and after that they’d never mention it again

Shawn and Jules: break up
Lassie, completely unprompted: HEY HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED DATING MEN IT WOULD BE PRETTY RAD JUST SAYING I THINK KISSING DUDES WOULD BE REALLY COOL NO PARTICULAR REASON THINK ABOUT IT
Shawn, a raging bisexual, who flirted with Lassie for four consecutive years:
