A subreddit devoted to all things Psych! This is the place to talk about the silliest, most pineapple-filled show on USA Network.

Show Summary:

Shawn Spencer has developed a keen eye for detail after being instructed by his police officer father to note even the most minute details of his surroundings. After conning the police into believing that he's a psychic, Shawn opens a detective agency with best friend Burton Guster.

Psych goodies

I got accepted into Pintopia's 2025 project so i'm hoping to create a bunch of really fun fan designed pins and things for the fandom. So far me, my wife, and sister in law who are also big fans have designed some shirts, waterproof stickers, bumper stickers, enamel pins, pillows, and some other goodies. If you want to snag some swag before the convention we also have some autograph collector geared items in the project as well. If there are any items you wish existed now's the chance to throw it out there in the comments and we'll design our little hearts out for our fellow psych-o's.

Fingers crossed for a successful campaign!!!!

Why are people in dual spires so weird??

I just watched this episodes and it is one of my favorite episodes.... But I couldn't help but notice one thing. Why the hell is everyone is fucking weird, like I noticed throughout the episode something was wrong but in the end what the hell was happening. What's the reason behind this? Is it years of no social interaction with other people outside of their village and lack of technology or an even more logical theory.... Years of inbreeding

Random Quote Help !!!!

There is an episode where Shawn says he has a special skill of being able to make his elbow look like a butt. Then he shows an example. I think it is in the earlier episodes.

Thanks so much for your help !

Happy psychaversary

Today marks the ten year anniversary of when I discovered Psych. Since then, the show has become my all time favorite. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched it and laughed, loved, mourned and cried with the characters.

Disco Didn't Die, it was murdered

So I'm rewatching this episode, and I have to ask, isn't it a massive conflict of interest to specifically hire Shawn for a case that his dad worked on? Like, they could have gone through the usual route of Shawn getting himself hired through other means, but this episode shows he is specifically hired to solve this one, but then told not to involve his father.

I could understand it if it was done because of his relationship to the previous head detective, like if it were an unsolved case that his dad worked on. But the reason the case is being reopened is to see if they were wrong the first time. So hiring Shawn doesn't really make sense.

The real truth about Shawn...

My SO and I have a theory:

(Psychic) VS (photographic memory and incredible intuition)...?

Why. Not. Both? 😂

We're convinced that Shawn has such a severe case of imposter syndrome that he's gaslit himself into not believing in his psychic powers.

AND because everyone immediately close to him knows he's such a goofball, they don't even really consider that he could be more than a guy with incredible memory that's amazing with making guesses.

I'm convinced.

I sure we are in agreement that the Chief knows and knows that she can't know. We see the posts weekly. Psychos offering evidence that PROVES she knows.

The fact that she never says it and Shawn never comes clean (strictly speaking about the series because I haven't seen all the movies [I can't do this with you right now]), means that we can't prove it.

However I am doing my ....^th rewatch of the series and I just finished S7E10 "The Santa Barbarian Candidate". I have been the voice of reason (more like Devil's advocate) in many a posts about this subject, and I stand by my stances, but I'm 100% convinced that Chief Karen Charles Vick knows.

The scene where Shawn is about to come clean is what does it for me. It also is just a great (and impossibly fast) "fake" reaction Chief gives when Jules comes in and interrupts. Quick on her feat and nothing suspicious.

Even more kudos to Kirsten Nelson because she conveys perfectly how Vick knows what's coming with that look of "this is it/it was a good run" and sigh of defeat, and switching with the faintest look of "Oh thank god" to a full detour of fierce leniency. Topping it off with a verbal nod of acknowledgment in her calm "Goodbye, Mr Spencer." and her solemn contemplation of "damn that was close" makes this scene "proof" enough for me.

Tell me if you agree or not, and what scene "proves" it for you, if so.

Found a scene in S4 E15 that pretty much describes Shawn and Gus perfectly lol

At around 22:29 in the episode, the part where they’re talking to Woody who’s telling them about the leg they found and Gus is gagging and Shawn is just laughing like an idiot. It’s so perfectly them and I love it sm 🤣😭💚🍍

Foreshadowing in Season 4

Just finished re-watch ing "Mr. Yin Presents...", and noticed a couple of callbacks in the final scene of the episode that were foreshadowed in the previous episodes.

For example, in the episode "A Very Juliet Episode", Lassie thanks Jules for confiding in him before going on a rant about love before saying "I feel there's a hug coming on", and goes on to give her theost awkward hug in the history of television. A couple of episodes later, in "Death Is In The Air", he once again goes in for a hug when he finds out that Jules isn't afflicted with the Thornburg virus but it transitions into the most awkward handshake in the history of television (kudos Lassie).

But in the final scene of the season, after Lassie and Gus save Jules on the clock tower, she breaks down and Lassie gives her a hug that just breaks your heart. The entire montage is heartbreaking as I Go To The Barn by Band of Horses plays in the background, but this particular storyline hits harder than the rest.

Anither example would be the (not double-sided) windowpane at the Psych office being shattered in the werewolf episode, and then Yin comes in and paints an "O" to make it look like Psycho. I love the part where Hemry comes in and cleans it after years of disapproval of what his son is up to.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I just noticed this today and couldn't help posting it here.

Have you guys noticed any other scenes that have been foreshadowed in earlier seasons/episodes? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Psych quote I started the new year off with!

Watched a random episode starting at 11pm and hit 12:00 "there's a certain point, an assignment will come to an end. And, by the way, I never understood you two as a couple"

The Downfall of Gus

I understand that Gus was always the “coward” side of the friendship of him and Shawn, sometimes being the one to to overcome that trait as a way to teach Shawn, but am I the only one that finds Gus unbearable in the last two seasons with his high pitched screaming overemphasized whining?

Who threw the tennis ball?

Hi All,

I'm sure this has been asked in here before, but since I'm relatively knew to this subreddit, I'm going to ask it myself now...

I just rewatched Forget Me Not, S1.E9, and when concluded, I was once again reminded of the fact that we never learn who threw the tennis ball. Knowing young Shawn, when confronted by his dad always admits to whatever he was trying to lie about, I am inclined to believe he didn't throw the tennis ball into the ostrich enclosure. I must say though that Trish did not strike me as someone who would lie when Shawn confronts her at the end of the episode. It's easy to say she got angry at Shawn as a means of covering up her own guilt, but why would it matter after so many years? She was grateful that Shawn just helped her dad and in the perfect state of mind to reciprocate and admit to Shawn that she had done it and let him take the fall with his dad, but she seems sincerely annoyed that Shawn is trying to blame her for something she didn't do.

And then there's Shawn's statement to Gus, implying that he only accused her so she would get mad at him, and give Gus the opportunity to pursue her without worrying about Shawn getting in the way. This would imply that Shawn knew Trish hadn't thrown the tennis ball. So who did throw it?

Is this like S2.E5 And Down the Stretch Comes Murder, and Gus was actually responsible and all these years let Shawn and Trish argue over who did it because Gus liked Trish back in grade school?

Now that is what we call detective work. It’s a rare and beautiful thing…

I love this show and I love this line. I feel like it was written for me.
