Psych 6×06 “Shawn, Interrupted”

Shawn (James Roday) goes undercover at a Mental Institution on "Psych"

F/B 1991: Shawn tried to get himself declared insane. Why? To avoid his quarterly project. Ya, his dad doesn’t let him get away with that.

Present Day: Lassie solved a case by himself and his throwing a party… for himself. Party includes a homemade banner and crime scene photos over the food. (Lassiter is awesome). The case Lassie solved? A billionaire businessman (Bernie Bethel) had an affair w/ his assistant, she tries to call it off and he strangles her to death. Lassie turns on the tv because, naturally, they are doing a story about the case, however unfortunately for Lassie, the story is interrupted by Breaking News: Bernie Bethel has been found not guilty by reason of insanity… Poor Lassie… he can never really catch a break can he? Now Bethel gets to stay in a mental institution instead of rotting in prison like he deserves.

Cut to the police station, and Lassie is PISSED! Well maybe Shawn should have been on the case, hmmm? Now they want to prove the Bethel is a fraud, how? Well we’re going to send in Shawn as a mental patient of course, cuz, that’s the best idea ever. Right? RIGHT?

Cue the opening credits… I love the opening credits.

Anyway… cut to the mental institution where Shawn is going in undercover. Jules is nervous, after all, what if they never let him out? Henry has a contact inside, Dr. Elliot who is going to be Shawn’s contact on the inside. Shawn has four days to figure out if Bethel is faking it or not. Shawn’s cover diagnosis btw: narcissistic personality disorder or “handsome disease.” Oh and Gus is going in undercover with him.

Now we’re inside the mental institution, and Gus’s cover: and orderly named Suggs (cuz apparently it’s like Gus, but backwards.) SHAWN IN A ROBE! Anyway, Gus spots a gorgeous woman, Vivian, cue Gus’s creepy “Hello…” Shawn spots Bethel and his brother Daniel. Daniel is giving him some skittles and drops a bunch on the floor: taste the rainbow! (product placement much?)

Cut to group therapy on the lawn with all the patients, one of whom sniffs Shawn (I bet he smells like pineapple… and jerk chicken). Shawn strikes up a conversation with Bethel and asks him to meet him after dinner in the library for desert: skittles. Shocker. Bethel goes a little nuts when one of the other patients has a mirror so an orderly brings him a pill. Shawn tells the nurse in charge about his other disorders: outrageous intelligence syndrome and obsessive successful disorder… oh and that he’s from the future. Another patient says that Shawn is full of it, and that he looks way to together. Shawn has to think fast or else his cover is going to be blown. So what does he do? He throws all the patients pills around and takes off on a golf cart of course.

Cut to the basement where Lassie and Jules are holed up. Shawn is in restraints but don’t worry, he can get out of them… they’re just incredibly soft. Shawn says that Bethel is really good, and almost believes that he is crazy. Doctor says he is, Lassie says he isn’t. Shawn is going to try and get Bethel to confess on camera after dinner he just needs one thing: skittles. (over abundance of product placement.)

Later at the library, Shawn is waiting for Bethel (skittles and all) but he dosen’t show up. Lassie is barking in his ear about how they’ve been waiting for an hour an a half: nothing. Lights about to go out, they have to finish it in the morning.

Cut to Shawns room, and damn that bed looks comfortable. Shawn is asleep clutching a teddy bear and it’s one of the most adorable things that I have ever seen. Gus sneaks in and wakes Shawn up. He says that he just saw Bethel sneak out of his room and into the kitchen. They’re on their way to the kitchen when they run into Vivian… or Frank.. ya, turns out the hot chick from before has multiple personality disorder and I mean honestly, Gus, shouldn’t you have seen that coming? She’s in a freaking mental institution.

Anyway, at the kitchen Gus and Shawn see Bethel talking to a refrigerator… umm… wtf? Uh oh, what if Bethel isn’t faking it?

Next day: Shawn tells Lassie that maybe Bethel isn’t faking it… and Lassie is totally and completely annoyed at this point. Oh, and to Jules’s horror, Shawn seems to be liking it at the mental institution a little too much.  Now Shawn just wants a chance to prove that Bethel in fact IS insane.

Cut to the Library where Shawn has brought Bethel some skittles (and all of this is on tape… there’s a camera in the plant on the table). Shawn tries to get him to bring out the crazy, but now Bethel seems to be sane. What the heck is going on? Shawn thinks something strange is going on, oh and he is going to prove it! (GO SHAWN!)

Later at the pool, the mental patients are doing exercise (I am a tree.. BE the tree… sorry). Shawn is still trying to get Bethel to go crazy. A nurse brings Bethel his pill and Shawn notices that it’s the same pill that was brought to him when he was at group therapy. Aha! His medication is actually working, that’s why he isn’t going crazy. Shawn also notices that Bethel’s fingers in on one of his hands are permanently curled. Turns out Bethel also has degenerative arthritis. He couldn’t have strangled his assistant.

Cut to Anger Management class (wow..), Shawn is telling a story about his father when Gus comes and breaks him out. They run into Bethel again and this time he’s crazy. Shawn notices that the pill they are trying to give him this time is not the same pill as before. Someone is switching out his medication. Shawn thinks someone in the institiution wants to keep Bethel incoherent, like maybe Dr. Elliot who is in charge of medication. He thinks someone is paying him to do it, to keep Bethel unstable.

Shawn goes to find Dr. Elliot, and finds him dead. Well, crap. Shawn is about to leave when someone knocks him out with a blow to the back of the head.

Back at the station, Gus shows up. Turns out he was fired from the institution. Ya, that will happen when you make googly eyes at one of the patients. Gus informs Jules and Lassie about the developments and they wonder why the arthritis was never brought up by Bethel’s lawyer. They need to talk to him.

Cut to the Mental institution where Shawn wakes up strapped to a bed (so many dirty jokes spring to mind here…). A nurse and an orderly are hovering over him and they tell him that they found him passed out in a restricted area. Shawn tries to tell them the truth about what is going on but only makes himself sound more crazy.

Jules and Lassie go to talk to Bethel’s lawyer and find him talking to his brother. They ask him about the arthritis. He says that Bethel was a complainer and that he didn’t think anything of it. Bethel’s brother is pissed that his brother may have been innocent. Oh, and they find out the lawyer has been handling Bethel’s affairs for 10 years, and is his only client. Who handles all of Bethel’s money, well its all in trusts.

Cut to the mental institution where Gus and Vivian show up to break Shawn out. As they are escaping they find Bethel being moved up to the 2^nd floor where they do electroshock therapy. Vivian distracts the guards while Shawn and Gus sneak Bethel out.

Back at the lawyers office, Lassie discovers that the lawyer doesn’t have power of attorney over Bethel’s trusts. Jules gets a call informing her that Shawn just broke Bethel out. And she does not look happy about this.

Oh, and BTW: Shawn already knows who’s behind everything. Why does this not surprise me?

Remember the nurse from Group Therapy? Ya, it’s her, and they’re at her house. Turns out that she was paid by Bethel’s brother to switch his medication and to give him electroshock therapy, but she didn’t kill Dr. Elliot. Who was that you ask? The brother who just happens to show up right then and point a gun at everyone. He wanted Bethel’s money, and the secretary that Bethel was having an affair with figured it out so he killed her. Dr. Elliot found out about the whole pill switching thing and Daniel killed him too. How do they get out of the whole gun being pointed at them thing? Well turns out Bethel is afraid of saxophones so Shawn finds a Kenny G. c.d. and puts it on which causes Bethel to go a little nuts. In the confusion, Gus tackles the brother and takes the gun (somebody finally gave Gus a gun!!). Lassie and Jules walk in on Gus grooving to Kenny G. with a gun drawn on Daniel.

The last scene is Gus flirting with a lucid Vivian who is getting better. Shawn, Jules and Lassie are getting thanked by Bethel. Shawn still really likes the institution and Jules drags him away.

BTW: BEST PSYCH-OUT EVER!

Quotes:

Shawn: “That’s my daddy!”

Carlton: “That’s your boyfriend.” Jules: “I know.”

Shawn: “I’m so good it’s stupid. I’m stupid good.”

Jules (to Lassie): “The man is a genius. He fooled a jury, I don’t think he’s going to fall for you dressed as Lord Kensington.”

Gus: “He’s the only one of us who could pass as someone in need of institutionalization.” Shawn: “I’ll take that as a compliment.” Gus: “I wouldn’t.”

Overall Grade: B+. I honestly think that there was no better place to send Shawn then a mental institution (or maybe a Psychic conference. Could you see it? Are you listening Steve Franks?). And the fact that they all could buy it was simply great. One of my favorite parts of the episode though was tiny: Lassie calling Shawn Jules’s boyfriend. I don’t know why but it made me smile so wide. My only problem with this season so far is that, for all the commercials bragging about the amazing guest stars (this weeks was Molly Ringwald), they have gotten such little screen time that it was almost sad. If you’re going to boast that you were able to get great guest stars, at least give them more than five minutes of screen time.

P.S. Here is an AWESOME “Psych” fanvid that Timothy Omundson (Lassie) RTed on Twitter:

Psych 6×05 “Dead Man’s Curveball”

Mel (Guest star Danny Glover) and Shawn (James Roday) watching the Seabirds game on "Psych"

I’m too old for this crap… (hehehe)

F/B: 1991: Shawn is the batboy at a minor league baseball game for the Seabirds… He’s chatting up his idol, Cal (omg it’s Dave from “The Big Bang Theory!”), smacks him on the ass, then imitates the coach and gives him instructions. And little Shawn is adorable.

Present day: Shawn is playing baseball for the SBPD, he hits… and he should stay on base yet he keeps running to home… and gets called out. His father is the umpire, and the two get into an argument. I love when Shawn and Henry fight, I really do “Suck it! Suck home plate!” Shawn’s old coach Mel pops up (OMG DANNY GLOVER!!!) and asks Shawn to look into the death of his assistant coach, Grady, who dropped dead of an apparent heart attack. A large amount of amphetamines was found in his system “greenies.” Shawn wants to be part of the team, “deep on the inside.” Mel agrees to let him be a coach.

Cut to the stadium, Shawn is coaching and Gus is… the mascot? BEST. IDEA. EVER!

Cue extended opening credits!!!! (I love when they do this! So much dancing!)

Shawn and Gus are off to Grady’s house to investigate. Shawn doesn’t believe that there are any drugs, Gus is positive that there are. The two search the house, Shawn eats some old chickpeas by accident and uses water from Grady’s bottle to wash his mouth out. Next thing we know, Shawn is bouncing around the house. Shawn is high… I’ll say it again: Shawn. Is. High! (I love this show) Turns out the drugs were in the water bottle.

At the station, Shawn notices that theres a number 42 on the bottom of the bottle, which belongs to player 42: Izzy Jackson. Shawn and Gus go to a bar where the Seabirds hang out. Shawn tells Gus that he thinks that Izzy is popping performance enhancers, and when he and Grady were having a hitting session they accidentally switched bottles. Grady’s heart couldn’t take it and he died.

Inside the bar we get another Gus don’t be! “Gus, don’t be Pete Rose’s haircut.” The two run into Izzy, who is a total moron, they try to get him to admit to taking drugs, he vehemently denies and asks them to leave. Cal pops up and moves Shawn and Gus out of harm’s way. Cal was cut by the Rangers so he decided to come back to Santa Barbara. He tells Shawn that he would do anything to get back into the big leagues. He doesn’t want to be a catcher, he wants to transition to first base but unfortunately Izzy is ahead of him. Shawn and Gus are still trying to prove that Izzy is taking drugs. They overhear another player tell him that if he keeps drinking the way he is, he is going to “wizz himself again.” So Shawn orders him a round… and steals his pants.

Shawn has his dad run a test on the sample on Izzy’s pants. No drugs. Bummer. Shawn now thinks that Cal, who is trying to get to play first base, might be drugging Izzy in order to get him suspended. Oh and Gus is pissed that he still has to dress as the mascot. Shawn confronts Cal and tells him that he is disappointed in him because he believed in him in one of the best speeches ever given on the show. Cal denies it.

Game on! Gus is being booed as the mascot until he feels something bite him and starts gyrating on the floor. The crowd loves that. Shawn is helping coach when the GM of the organization shows up and demands that Izzy play. Mel does what he asks. Meanwhile, Shawn uses his gift to predict what kind of pitch is going to come up next. He uses this skill to help Izzy hit a home run. He notices that when Izzy runs by a blond in the audience makes a kissy face at him. Shawn remembers that same blonde leaving the bar with another player on the team. What?

Gus shoots someone with a t-shirt cannon.

Shawn runs out on the field to apologize to Cal for thinking he was the murderer. He ends up getting the whole team in fights over the blonde who is cheating on another player, Rodriguez, with not just Izzy, but Ricky also (I know it’s confusing.) A brawl ensues. Cue Mel: “I’m too old for this crap.” (Squee!!)

Cut to the locker room where Mel is yelling at the team. Izzy walks out, Mel chases after him. The GM enters, fires Shawn and hires Wade Boggs, damn. (I’m loving all the guest stars this season). Shawn and Gus go off to find Mel, and instead find a dead Izzy.

Back to the police station where Lassie and Jules are interrogating Mel. They believe that Mel killed Izzy, Shawn doesn’t. Lassie found a bag full of drugs in his apartment this morning. Uh Oh… Shawn thinks that Mel couldn’t have killed Izzy because  he was hit from behind on the left and Mel is right handed. He goes to Woody, who uses a watermelon to prove Shawn’s point (I don’t believe it works very well). Wood says that a 60 year old man is not capable of hitting someone that hard his weaker hand. Shawn then notices that the bat that was used has the number 35 on it. Only Cal uses the bat with 35 on the bottom.

Shawn sneaks back into the locker room where he wants to go snoop around Cal’s things… too late, Cal’s gone. Well, that looks suspicious, but it turns out that Cal is going to Oakland. He’s back in the majors! Awesome! Shawn hugs the crap out of him (Shawn can hug me like that… anyday…)

Shawn then sneaks back into the stadium… as the mascot. And he does a Gus impression and OMG IT’S FANTASTIC! “What’s happenin baby? You hear about Pluto?” Shawn goes through the record and discovers that Izzy was signed for $12 million dollars. Most of the money wasn’t going to be paid out until after Izzy was transferred to the big leagues, which was guaranteed after 60 days, but nobody wanted to take him. Shawn can’t see what he’s doing however, because of his stupid mascot outfit and makes an extreme amount of noise trying to get out. He manages to get out and into the Blueberry. He now know who killed Izzy, the killer is onto him, and the killer thinks he’s Gus. Uh oh…

So, Gus is being held at gunpoint in the Psych office when Shawn comes in. Turns out it’s the GM (I KNEW IT!). Shawn tells the GM that he knows what happened, that the GM tried to drug him to get him out of the way, and when that didn’t work, he killed him. So now Gus and Shawn are both being held at gunpoint.

They go to the stadium where the GM plans to kill them “in self defense.” Cal shows up because “something didn’t feel right.” Now Cal is being held at gunpoint… then Wade Boggs shows up. The GM can’t shoot Wade Boggs so he runs and gets tackled by Henry (go Henry! That was awesome!)

The final scene is of Shawn playing ball and trying to prove to Mel that he is good enough to be on the team. Cue epic slow motion… and it’s a foul ball. Bummer. (BTW: James Roday saying Rodriguez makes me happy… and if you’re a James Roday fan you know why…)

Quotes:

Gus: “I would not let you touch my urine.” Shawn: “You are not the friend I thought you were.”

Gus: “You’re not a real coach.” Shawn: “You’re not a real person.”

Shawn: “I believe in gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your hands and ALL OVER YOUR FACE!”

Shawn: “You would say anything to keep from wearing that Seabird suit again.” Gus: “I cannot deny that.”

Woody: “I have a demonstration, but it would require me hitting one of you over the head with a bat. Any takers?”

Overall Grade: B. Still not as funny as “Last Night Gus” but it definitely had it’s moments. Anytime Shawn says “Suck it” I can’t help but laugh, and Gus as the mascot just makes me smile… so wide. I wish that Gus had been my mascot in high school, things would have been so much awesomer. Oh, and can we just make Shawn high all the time?

Psych 6×04 “The Amazing Psych-Man and Tap Man Issue #2”

The Catch (James Roday) and Tap Man (Dule Hill) on "Psych"

The Comic Book geek in me was so freakin excited for this episode…

We begin with a flashback (yes!) to 1991 in which Shawn and Gus are dressed as Superheroes. Shawn is in your typical superhero outfit: cape and mask while Gus is dressed as tap man whose ability is to distract them with his tap dancing expertise and then throw sand in their face to subdue them. Ya, it’s really lame… and Shawn and Henry know it and mock him for it. It’s ok Gus… I still love you…

Back to the present, Shawn and Gus are chasing after some bad guys when they trip over each other ending up in a chorus of “C’mon son.” Which made me giggle… Shawn gets up and starts running again and when he catches up to the bad guys they are all ready tied up. What?! Shawn finds a note in one of the bad guys pockets that reads “The Mantis.”

Lassie and Jules show up and begin questioning the guys… Shawn is busy having a caricature done of him by the sketch artist. Lassie and Gus see a masked figure jump from a building. Cue the best credit reel ever… Comic Book themed and Awesome.

Anyway, back to the recap… At the station reporters are rampant and are dying for more information about “The Mantis.” The chief tells them that they do not condone vigilantism and to leave the real detective work to the professionals. And we get the first “this is my partner” (kind of) WATSON WILLIAMS! (WOOT!) Lassie is all for vigilantism, in fact, he wishes he could do it himself and I mean are we really surprised about this information at all? Really… no. (Lassie I love you something fierce.) We find out that “The Mantis” has been taking out a drug syndicate called the Caminos, which apparently gets Juliet’s motor running (and I really can’t blame her… superheroes are hot. Don’t judge me, you should know I’m a nerd just from the title of this blog). Shawn is jealous (and an adorable jealous man) and tries to compare himself to the Mantis, but is hushed by Jules and Gus who say that if Shawn didn’t use his psychic ability and solved crime with just what he has, then that would be impressive. Wow, Gus, that was awesome.

Shawn then uses his “psychic ability” (hehe) to deduce that the drug busts are in accordance with the lunar psychle (see what I did there) and the next bust will occur on October 26^th. October 26^th arrives and sure enough, there is a drug bust, and the bad guys are already tied up; work of the Mantis. Shawn is even more irritated. Shawn begins to wonder how the Mantis knew about the bust, he begins to wonder if it’s someone on the police force. He begins to suspect the new guy Scott Reynolds (Joey McIntyre!! NKOTB!!) is the man behind the Mantis mask. They begin to sneakily question him, but it comes off as Shawn hitting on the poor guy.

Cut to Shawn and Juliet go on a date (awes!) and begin to argue about the Mantis. Juliet is pro Mantis, Shawn, of course, against. They agree to not discuss work anymore on the date and Juliet gets a text about another drug bust. Shawn tells her to go and quickly asks for the check so he can head to the scene. Cut Lassie at the scene who sees two people passed out on the floor, one with the Mantis mask on.. Lassie rips the mask off and its SHAWN (whhhhhaaaaaaaattttttt?????)

Shawn arrives at the station amidst a crowd of reporters. Once inside he explains that he had arrived at the bust only to encounter the Mantis. The two fight, Shawn bites him (Shawn can bite me… what? Ummm… ) and gets knocked out. The Mantis then trades clothes with Shawn and Shawn is perturbed that the Mantis saw him in his underwear, and he had candy in his jacket pocket, that he will never see again! Juliet knew that Shawn wasn’t the Mantis, and in an epic moment, Shawn says “I know that you know I’m not telling the truth… I know, you know.” Greatest. Thing Ever. (God, I love this show) Shawn is still sure that Joey… I mean Scott is the Mantis and checks his arms for bite marks… nope nothing. Scott thinks that Shawn is hitting on him again and that he would be perfect for his friend Brian… awkward… Shawn now thinks that the Mantis is working from the inside… he thinks he’s a part of the Caminos. A package then shows up and what do ya know, it’s Shawn’s clothes, sans candy. That evil bastard had his clothes dry cleaned!

Juliet then receives a call from the Mantis who where the next drug bust is going to take place. The gang shows up only to find the Mantis kneeling over a dead body. The Mantis then jumps off of the roof and now I’m just confused…

Cut to the Psych office where Shawn reveals that he believes that the Mantis is probably innocent. He then realizes that there is a tag on his clothes from the dry cleaner that the Mantis took his clothes too. They go to said dry cleaner and Shawn sneakily gets the address.

Cut to the Mantis’s house where Shawn and Gus are caught snooping around by the Mantis who it turns out is one of the reporters that is hanging around the police station. The Mantis tosses Shawn and Gus around a bit before Shawn explains that they think that he is innocent. The dead dude that the Mantis was kneeling over turns out to be his Camino contact who was murdered for ratting. Shawn realizes then that the drugs are being shipped in panes of glass.

The Mantis, The Catch (Shawn) and Tap Man (Gus) all head out to the shipping yard where the panes of glass are. They fight with the bad guys. Insert totally completely nerd loving comic graphics into this scenes as the Mantis is fighting the Caminos and cue me being in paradise. Lassie and Jules show up as the Mantis is finishing the Caminos off and try to take the Mantis in. Gus uses his special ability to distract them (ya, remember, tap dancing and sand in the face… it’s still lame, although Dule Hill looked good while doing it). The Mantis gets away. Shawn proclaims his innocence but we are still left wondering where the drug money is.

Shawn heads over to the Mantis’s apartment to return a jacket and finds the apartment abandoned. Welp, guess we know who has the drug money. Shawn, dressed as The Catch, tracks the Mantis down and confronts him. The Mantis tries to bribe him but we all know Shawn’s not going to take it. Then the Mantis tries to kick the crap out of Shawn, but surprisingly the Catch outfit holds up against the onslaught until Tap Man shows up and tries to help but only ends up throwing sand in Shawn’s face. The Mantis runs, but Shawn catches up to him and stops him with a body chuck, and it’s painful… for Shawn.

Quotes:

Juliet: “You pinched and bit a man?”

Shawn: “The only hater is the Mantis… hater of not murdering people.”

Shawn: “Nobody steals from The Catch, Gus. Nobody!”

Overall Grade: B. Not as funny as the previous weeks, but no slouch either. This season has been pretty consistent comedy wise, and I will always love it. Plus… superheroes and Joey McIntyre… you can’t really go wrong there.

Psych 6×03 “This Episode Sucks”

(Psych Review/Recaps will be done in full, and will not be shortened at all (that’s redundant). There’s just too much going on in the episode to shorten it.)

Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dule Hill) doing their best vampire impression on "Psych"

So… this episode doesn’t suck! Seriously!

So Lassie (who is so damn adorable in this episode that I completely fell in love with him) is at a bar, unwinding from his day when this girl (Kristy Swanson! Buffy!) shows up, knows his name and starts chatting him up. Lassie comments on her necklace. She ends up sneaking out through the bathroom leaving Lassie alone and sad.

Cut to an attack on the top of a roof of a parking garage where a hooded figure attacks some dude by his car. (Question: the lights all creepily went out, you’re on the top of the parking garage by yourself, your car won’t start… why the f*ck would you get out of the car?! Apparently this guy has never seen a horror movie in his life. Dumbass.)

It’s the next morning and Jules, Shawn and Gus are now on scene with the dead guy. Lassie shows up, asks McNab if he has found anything out about the girl that he had drinks with; nope. Lassie heads over the body where it turns out the victim is clutching the girl’s necklace and has puncture marks on his neck and wrists. Shawn declares Vampires. Lassie agrees with him (whhhhhhaaaaaaaatttttt??)

Jules ends up going to a vampire bar (there’s an awesome scene with Woody before this too. New nicknames!). She’s on the phone with Shawn who ends up showing up with Gus… Dressed as Lestat and Blacula (who ends up getting mistaken for Count Chocula the entire episode hehehe). They go up to the guy at the bar (Corey Feldman!!) She asks him if anything weird has happened; somebody called and asked for a real pint of blood. Jules, vampire wannabes in tow, go to check the phone records.

Meanwhile Lassie is at a jewelry show (Bling Crosby… best. Name. ever!) asking if they have a record of anyone whose bought the necklace that the girl he was chatting up was wearing. The guy says that they don’t keep those kinds of records. The guy mentions that he likes Lassie’s watch, Lassie remembers that the girl touched his watch and low and behold there’s a finger print on it!

Cut to a creepy house where it turns out the girl, Marlowe, lives with 3 other guys (but it’s ok because she has no carnal knowledge of them). Lassie asks to see the necklace, she shows it to him. He also asks where she went last night after she left him. She watched him in his car. She was scared of how much she liked him. They are about to make out. Next thing we know there is a knock on the door…

Jules, Shawn and Gus all barge in, see Lassie and Marlowe and get wtf looks on their faces. Turns out the call for the pinto of blood came from Marlowe’s house, Lassie ends up being her alibi. (awe, Lassie!) Jules asks her about her roommates, one is named Lucian… ya, they want to know where he is.

Cut to Lucian sitting in an interrogation room. Shawn and Gus sneakily open the door and toss a clove of garlic at him. Nothing. They bust in the room, Gus wielding holy water (blessed over the phone… and know it doesn’t work like that), Shawn with silver chains. Nothing. They go after him with the silver, still nothing. Jules busts in interrogates the guy, he was working. Shawn remembers a room in the house with a broken mirror and a litter box. There’s an address. Shawn says they need to go there.

Cut to a blood bank where Shawn believes the other roommate is… and that the other roommate is a shape shifter and turns into a cat. They see a cat entering the bank, and immediately Shawn and Gus’s suspicions are confirmed (SHAPE SHIFTER!) They enter the building, follow the cat (Shawn holding a crossbow (and he looks REALLY good with that crossbow… just saying) and Gus with a mirror and cross.) The see a hooded figure on both sides of the building seconds after eachother. They here glass breaking and go check it out. Nobody is there. They bring in reinforcements and find a fingernail… a fingernail that matches the fingernails the Marlowe had one.

Cut to Lassie’s apartment where Lassie is getting some (and I’m happy for Lassie… he needs a little lovin). Jules, Shawn, Gus, Henry, and McNab all knock on the door to make sure that Lassie isn’t dead (I think Lassie can handle himself… just saying.) Lassie’s fine, and pissed “Contrary to public opinion I don’t get this kind of action every night!” Jules shows Lassie the fingernail, Marlowe says it’s just coincidence. They go to investigate Marlowe’s house.

Cut to Marlowe’s house where the gang (excluding Lassie… He’s hanging out with Marlowe. Awes!) is combing through her house. Shawn finds a bag of blood in her freezer. Lassie arrests her and hands her off to Jules. He leaves. Jules leaves. Shawn and Gus are debating what to do with the blood when Shawn accidentally squirts blood all over Gus. (One of the greatest slow motion scenes of all time… completely over dramatic and the look on the both of their faces is just priceless.)

Cut to Shawn’s dads house. Gus is in shock. Henry and Shawn are slapping him, poking and prodding him, nothing. Shawn gets a call from Jules, another person has been attacked behind a bagel joint Lock Stock and Two Toasted Bagels. Shawn : “Best name for a bagel joint ever!” Jules tells Shawn to punch Gus as hard as he can, do whatever he has to to get them both down to the hospital. Shawn gets ready to hit Gus when Gus snaps out of it and punches Shawn (so freaking awesome. I was laughing my ass off.)

Cut to the hospital where the guy that got attacked is no help to the gang. Shawn gets a glimpse of his hospital chart, the guy has O-Negative blood. Shawn gets Gus to distract the doctor by pretending to slip a disk and gets a look at the medical records. Shawn notices that there are only a handful of people who have O-Neg blood and Marlowe’s brother is one of them. The brother also suffers from a blood disease called Von Willebrand disease which requires blood to be transfused a lot. Shawn realizes that the brother must have become a liability to the insurance company which refused to cover him. They tell Jules who realizes that Lassie has O-Neg blood (oh shit!)

Cut to Lassie’s apartment where he is drunk and on the phone with Marlowe who is trying to explain to him that he is in danger. Lassie is too drunk to listen. There is a knock on the door and Lassie gets chloroformed by Marlowe’s brother who, as it turns out, is the guy from the jewelry shop. Lassie is tied up by the couch, the brother explains that he’s not a bad guy, the guy in the parking garage was alive when he left him. He says that Marlowe never hurt anybody, all she did was steal the blood so he could live, and that’s what it was there for… to help someone live. He explains that Lassie was Marlowe’s first mark and that didn’t work out because Marlowe is “all sweet on him.” Lassie breaks free and knocks the brother out. Jules, Shawn and Gus are frantically knocking on the door and Lassie answers, looking deranged. He says he’s been building up a tolerance for chloroform. Gus doesn’t believe him and thinks that it has to be a different toxin. He sniffs it and passes out.

Cut to the police station where Lassie is trying to write something on a piece of paper with Jules, Shawn and Gus watching in the background. Jules, Shawn and Gus decide that one of them has to go talk to him. Shawn and Gus rock paper scissors to decide. Shawn uses “spider” he loses and goes to talk to Lassie who blows him off and leaves.

Cut to a visiting area where Lassie is meeting Marlowe. Lassie tells her that he understands why she did what she did. They talk about Clint Eastwood movies. Lassie looks like he’s in love and holds up a piece of paper that says: “My Dear Sweet Marlowe, I will wait for you these six to eighteen months. See you next Wednesday.” (OMG LASSIE I LOVE YOU! (not as much as Shawn… but still…)) Cue corny fireworks. The End.

Quotes:

Gus: “It’s like the Road Runner stopping and saying, ‘You know what Wile E.? You’ve earned this. Blow me up.” Shawn: “You’re saying the coyote has a first name?” Gus: “Yeah.” Shawn: “It’s not O S C A R?” Gus: “That’s bologna.” Shawn: “You’re bologna.”

Lassie: “I owe you two nothing and you look like a couple of asshats in those ridiculous costumes.” Shawn: “I’m dangerous… in a sexy way.” Marlowe: “More like a gay way.” Gus: “Well I am straight up iconic.” Marlowe: “I don’t call Count Chocula an icon.” Gus: “I’m Blacula. And you’re going to be under arrest you succubus!”

Jules: “God, I used to be a detective and now I’m a babysitter.” Shawn: “that makes you Elisabeth Shue. Gus is Keith Coogan.” Gus: “You’re Coogan.” Shawn: “You’re momma’s Coogan.”

Shawn: “Did I just see what my brain is telling my eyes I saw?”

Doctor: “How did you know his blood type.” Shawn: “Uhh… it’s a special gift that I bust out on rare occasions. Almost all the time.”

Lassie: “I welcomed you inside that cage. I offered you a season pass to the Festival of Light that happens inside my chest cavity.” Marlowe: “Festival? Like Chanukah?”

Gus: “Rock paper scissors?” Shawn: “Fine.” Gus: “What’s that?” Shawn: “Spider!”

Overall grade: B+. I did enjoy this episode, but too me, it didn’t have the awesomeness that last weeks episode did. I loved all the guest stars though. Kristy Swanson and Corey Feldman FTW! And I did enjoy that the story wrapped around Lassiter finally getting a love life. I’ve been waiting for that for SO long and the chemistry between him and Marlowe was awesome! I can’t wait to see the development of that relationship. I am still rather disappointed that we have yet to get a “And this is my partner…” and that there has only been one flashback to little Shawn.. Also: need extended opening!!! Just saying.

Psych 6×02 “Last Night Gus”

Shawn (James Roday), Juliet (Maggie Lawson), Lassie (Timothy Omundson) and Henry (Corbin Bernsen) gettng grilled in Chief Vick

“C’mon son!”

I was so completely right when I said that this was going to be my new favorite episode. Oh “Psych,” you are too awesome.

We begin with the gang at a retirement party for Jim, a cop that no one even knows. Shawn begins to wonder why they are there. Turns out Gus wanted to go to hit on women. Shawn and Juliet are disgusted. Juliet goes home (which I was kinda bummed about… I would have loved to have hungover Juliet who can’t remember anything… OMG SEQUEL!) and Shawn proposes a toast to Jim. He then gets a round on the police stations dime.

Cut to the Psych office the next morning. Shawn is asleep at his desk with a shower cap on his head and there’s a weird curly wig on the desk (which is never explained… wtf is that doing there? And why is no one concerned?) Shawn gets up and notices that Gus is asleep on the floor. He wakes Gus up and the two begin to wonder what the hell happened last night. Shawn has the shower cap, sandals that aren’t his on, and a gold chain around his neck. He can’t remember anything “Gus, my finger to eyebrow device is broken!” We here a groan come from the couch…

Lassie has just woken up, he has a black eye “What the hell happened last night?” Turns out he wasn’t sleeping alone on that couch. Woody: “Come back to bed peaches.” (OMG WTF HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!) Cue Lassie freaking out and saying that what they think happened did not happen because nothing happened. And cue Shawn’s mocking. Shawn gasps and points to the fish tank where Lassie’s gun is. Lassie “My baby!” Lassie runs over to the tank, pulls out his gun then exclaims that there’s three bullets missing, he can tell by the weight (and I love Lassie and his crazy gun toting ways.) Shawn discovers a video on his phone of them partying with some dude wearing a Hawaiian Shirt. Nobody remembers who he is. They get a call from the police station saying that there is an emergency. We find out that Lassie’s car is missing. They decided to take the Blueberry.

Cut to the parking garage where we discover the Blueberry with a giant ding on it. Gus “If no one is going to start freaking out. I am OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOSH! DO YOU SEE MY CAR?!” Cue best Gus freak out of all time (hip thrusts included) and my laughing my ass off. Oh, this is just getting so amazingly good.

Cut to the SBPD morgue where there’s a dead guy, shot three times lying on the slab. Turns out to be the Hawaiian Shirt guy (who I’m going to refer to as HSG). Shawn texts Gus “Did Lassie kill this guy?” Cue Gus’s phone going off in HSG’s pocket and Shawn getting it out with a pair of tongs. Shawn gives Gus the phone, Juliet notices something going on and pulls Shawn aside asking him if he wants to talk about the phone call that he made last night. Shawn, obviously has no freaking clue about what she’s talking about. He says they will talk later, and reenters the morgue where he has one of the best freak outs of all time (which Dulé Hill said was completely improvised and done in one take. How awesome is James Roday?)because he can’t remember anything and he lost his psychic ability (which he never had, but Shawn does pride himself on being extremely aware of everything.) Woody exclaims that they all should pee in a cup to find out if they were drugged.

Cut to another area of the police station where Lassie is talking to McNab (yay McNab is back!) about finding his missing car. On the floor next to him is the victims phone. Gus does a sneaking I’m tying my shoe routine to fling the phone at Shawn who looks through it. He finds a bunch of pictures of a blond woman. Exclaims that he thinks the victim was a stalker. Woody comes back exclaims they were drugged and they head off the to bar they were at last night for Jim’s party.

Cut to an awesome slow motion walk into the bar (and I am in HEAVEN with this episode, oh pop culture references, they make my life.). Lassie walks up to the bar and says he has some hard serious questions… about his car. Bar tender doesn’t know anything about it. They ask him if he remembers HSG, he says ya, but why are they asking him. Bartender says they were best friends, buying him drinks all night. Gus: “Umm, I wasn’t buying some sandal wearing white guy drinks, ok? That’s not me.” Shawn remembers a creepy long haired blond guy at the bar, asks the bartender if he remembers him. The bartender knows him, its his partner Mikey. Mikey comes out from behind the bar. Shawn: “You, baby Thor!” (and I was totally thinking this!) It wasn’t him who drugged them. Enter some girl who remembers Gus from last night. Cue the two of them making out. Gus wants to leave, Shawn says no, we’re in the middle of an investigation so Gus stays. Shawn then remembers where they went after the bar.

Cut to a donut shop. The gang enters only to be yelled at by an angry little short man. So ya, guess they were there last night. Enter some other guy from behind the counter who points a shotgun at the gang exclaiming “You killed Bobo!” at Lassie. Gus: “Who the hell is Bobo?” Cut to the gang in a back room watching security footage of Gus and Shawn playing keep away with the Blueberry from Lassie, running into a donut statue (Bobo), knocking it over, and Lassie shooting it (Lassie shot a donut… hehehe). We then see some other guy come out of nowhere, yell at Lassie and Lassie get punched in the face. Lassie gets a call from the station saying that they are needed back there and they’re off.

Back at the station there’s another body and it’s the guy that punched Lassie in the face. Jeepers. Shawn discovers that the two bodies are related by looking at HSG’s cell phone. Everyone is off to the guy who punched Lassie in the face’s (referred to as GWPL for the rest of this review) house, but before Shawn leaves Juliet pulls him aside again asking if they are ever going to talk about the phone call that Shawn made. They decide to lay it all on the table. At the same time Shawn says that Lassie killed GWPL and Juliet says that Shawn asked her to move in with him. Shawn freaks out (commitment phobe) Juliet freaks out, they head over to GWPL’s house.

In the house they discover that GWPL is married to the blonde woman in pictures in HSG’s phone. Shawn figures out that HSG is a private detective that was following GWPL’s wife to see if she was cheating on him. Shawn gets a call from his dad who is holed up in a motel room that apparently he trashed. Shawn figures out that the shower cap that he was wearing in the beginning came from the hotel that his dad is at. They must have been waiting for GWPL’s wife. Shawn’s dad can’t remember anything, Shawn is on his way.

Cut to the motel where Shawn’s dad is at. The owner tells them they had trashed the place and Lassie had thrown a mattress into the pool. Lassie says he didn’t, but the owner has security footage. The owner also tells them that the woman that they had been waiting for had shown up eventually and they are off to their room where they discover that she hadn’t been there alone (there are two pillows each with a head indentation on it.) Shawn realizes that there is there is a gas leak and orders everyone out. They all jump off of the balcony to get out and land in the pool. The hotel room explodes (And I am awestruck. This episode has hilarious memory loss and explosions. It’s like an awesome dream.)

Cut to Chief Vick’s office where the gang is drying off with a towel. Chief Vick now knows everything that the gang knows. It’s extremely serious. Enter Ed Lover (holy crap it’s Ed Lover! “C’mon son!”) who is pissed because Shawn stole his necklace. He takes it back and leaves. Gus and Shawn fanboy out a bit. Gus gets a call from the girl at the bar and takes off saying that he almost got killed today and he’s going to go live his life. Everyone else goes back to solving the crime of the two dead guys. They begin looking through HSG’s phone again and discover that there is a picture of a convicted criminal named Leroy Jenkins (omg, really? Awesome! And if you don’t know who Leeroy Jenkins is, please google it.) with GWPL’s wife. They figure out that Leroy found out that HSG was taking pictures of him and killed HSG and GWLP to keep his whereabouts a secret. They then discover that Leroy has an adopted daughter, the girl that Gus is out with right now.

Cut to Gus’s apartment (it’s the first time we see Gus’s apartment! And its really nice… and is make me question my decorating skills). Gus is getting his game on, he tries to make out with the girl, but she stops him with a drink that she spiked. Gus drinks it.

Cut to Lassie, Shawn and Juliet who realize that Leroy is trying to kill Gus now too because Gus had HSG’s phone and he has seen the pictures. They leave to go after Gus in a police car. On the way they discover the bartender in Lassie’s car and Lassie freaking out and yelling at them, threatening to kill them. Back in Gus’s apartment, Gus is stoned, and it’s hilarious. Leroy is there threatening to kill him and Gus is just repeating everything he says. Leroy points a gun at Gus. Enter Shawn, Juliet and Lassie guns a blazing. The two teams take sides with Gus sitting on the couch in the middle… still stoned (only “Psych” can make a gunfight hilarious). Shawn is yelling at Gus that the other guys are the bad guys. Gus grabs a bowl of taffy and smacks Leroy upside the head with it. End gun fight.

Cut to the donut shop where Lassie is fixing Bobo. Lassie thanks Shawn for believing that he didn’t kill the guys. Shawn asks him if he wants a hug. Shawn and Gus have a short conversation about how Shawn is going to tell Juliet that he doesn’t want to move in together. Shan and Juliet then discuss it. Juliet knows that he isn’t ready to make that step and says that it’s ok, as long as it’s in their future.

Favorite Quotes:

Shawn: “You disgust me. You make me sick to my face.”

Lassie: “I think I’m going to turn myself in.” Shawn: “Why, for spooning with Woody?”

Shawn: “Man, I told you eating something called ‘Stick of Butter in a Bun’ was dangerous!”

Lassie: “Well, clearly, someone was trying to take advantage of us sexually. Me at least.”

Donut Guy: “Maybe they know you from the Cosby Show, Bud.” Gus: “I’m not Bud!” (yay for consistency!)

Shawn: “This was way easier when we thought Lassiter was the killer. Just saying.”

Shawn: “Which one of these houses is Terri Hatchers?”

Gus: “Sorry Shawn. It’s hard out there for a pimp.” Shawn: “It’s true Chief. It’s hard to make the rent.”

Shawn: “In lieu of flowers and gifts, donations can be made to ‘Glazed for Life.’”

Shawn: “You live amongst stacks and stacks of periodicals. And taxidermy… you have a stuffed werecat at home.”

Overall grade: A. This episode… what is there to even say. It was just fantastic. It was a great mix of hilarity, pop culture references and explosions… and I was in tears the whole time laughing my ass off. If you weren’t laughing, there is seriously something wrong with you.

Psych 6×01 “Shawn Rescues Darth Vader”

James Roday (Shawn Spencer) and Dule Hill (Burton "Gus" Guster) on Psych

THE BOYS ARE BACK!!!! *SQUEE!*

Ok, now that that’s out of the way…

Before I begin, can I just say, how fantastic were the opening credits? I mean seriously?! Hats off to the Psych crew on that. And if you didn’t see it, the extended version of the opening was leaked online (only to be removed a couple of hours later) and It’s even better (so much dancing!)

Now, I’m a total Psych-O so be prepared for a looooong recap/review. “You know that’s right.”

First of all, Shawn Spencer: way better (and sexier) than James Bond. Just saying…

We begin with Shawn sleuthing into an ambassadors house to get a Darth Vader action figure (yes, action figure… it’s NOT a doll) back for a kid who had it stolen from him. He retrieves the action figure, tries to escape only to hear security coming and hides under a bed. Cue Shawn finding a dead body. The guards leave, Shawn tries to escape again, guards hear him, Shawn jumps out a window and hops off the roof (and I think I’m in love with Shawn Spencer all over again… that was sexy.). He runs (no screaming), back to Gus who is waiting in the Blueberry and they take off.

Meanwhile back at the station, Lassie decides to coerce Juliet into getting hooked up to a lie detector by saying its broken. He asks her her name, “Juliet…. O’Hara.” And then one more thing… “Are you currently dating anyone.” Ya, Lassie’s having a bitch fit because Juliet is dating Shawn and she didn’t tell him. She says she doesn’t have time for this, and they both storm upstairs where they run into Shawn who tells them about his surprisingly specific psychic vision of a dead body.

And we’re off to the Amabassador’s house but the body is no longer under the bed. Shawn see’s drag marks, leads them outside, and low and behold the body is found floating in a pool (dun dun dun!!)

Cut to Lassie who is still having a bitch fit which annoys Juliet so much that she just tells him that she has been seeing Shawn. Cue Lassie saying he wants a new partner, one he can trust (Cue me freaking out and screaming “NO!” at my tv.) Thankfully, Chief Vick has the same idea as I do and tells them to suck it up and deal with it.

Next we head to a staff meeting where we find out that the victim’s name is Annabeth York, a member of the ambassador’s staff who is in the states to free British citizen Colin Hennessey, who had been accused of strangling his girlfriend to death. Annabeth had proven his innocence and he is free to go. Henry then pulls Shawn aside and tells him basically he knows that Shawn was at the house and that he’s going to get caught and lose his whole Psychic career. Shawn then deduces that the Ambassador is having an affair with Annabeth, why else would a low level staff member be given such a high profile case?

Henry then goes to see Woody. And can I just extol the virtues of Kurt Fuller (who plays Woody) for a second please? How great is this guy? His creepy fun coroner character is just fantastic. Anyway, back to the show: Woody tells Henry that whoever killed Annabeth is the same person that killed Colin’s girlfriend. DUN DUN DUN!!!

Shawn wants to go back to the mansion, so remember that kid from the beginning? The one that paid Shawn to get Darth Vader? Ya, Shawn gets him and the Ambassador’s son together which led to my favorite scene of the entire episode: Gus threatens to punch kids, the Ambassador’s son says that the new Star Wars movies are better than the old ones. Cue Gus, Best. Facial. Expression. Ever! “We are dealing with a crazy person!” Come to find out that Shawn stole the Ambassador’s son’s keys. He sneaks back into the house, almost gets caught, and we’re back under the bed again. Shawn overhears the Ambassador saying that they need someone on their side “like that psychic.” Ambassador leaves the room. Cut to Shawn and Gus knocking on the Ambassador’s door offering their services in exchange for perks like diplomatic immunity, “Can I rob a bank? Can I print my own money? Can you introduce me to Harry Potter?” The Ambassador agrees to let them work for him, cue Shawn “Dude, I just got us diplomatic immunity. What do you want to steal?”

We go back to the bedroom where Shawn flashes back to the night of the party and remembers seeing a pair of shoes in the closet. Shawn (in a British Accent) “Where are your shoes?” Ambassador “Where are you getting your accents from?” Shawn “The usual places I guess. Peter Pan. Geico Gecko. Phineas and Ferb.” Turns out the Ambassador doesn’t keep his shoes there. The murderer was a guest at the party! They begin to suspect that Colin may be the murderer. Shawn, Gus, Lassie and Jules go off to Colin’s house, Shawn busts into the house, and finds creepy stalker pictures of the first victim. Shawn runs into Collin’s host father, Charles Wignall and they begin to argue about who has more diplomatic immunity. Gus, Lassie and Jules are invited in the house when Jules gets a call that fingerprints had been found on the victim. The finger prints belong to the Ambassador’s head of security who admits that she moved the body to avoid a scandal, but also claims that she didn’t kill her. Cue Creepy Gus “That woman wears loyalty like a micro mini skirt.” I was just bummed he didn’t add a “What” to the end of that statement.

Cut to Shawn parking the blueberry half on the sidewalk and me giggling like crazy. I couldn’t help it, I missed Shawn Spencer and his awesome antics so much. Gus is not amused, which leads to the first Gus “don’t be” line of season 6! “Gus, don’t be the mystery mouseketool!” (cue me squealing like a crazy fangirl and laughing my ass off.) They find Colin, who runs. They must commandeer a car. They run into traffic, stop a car and flash Gus’s “Which Wich” card at them, which according to Shawn, has the Ambassador’s signature and proof that he has diplomatic immunity. The driver isn’t convinced so Shawn tries another car, which, turns out, is a police car. Whoops!

Cut to Shawn, Gus and Collin in jail. Lassie comes in and shows Shawn that he has a faxed picture of what appears to be Shawn walking up the stairs at the ambassador’s party but its from the back, so they can’t prove that its him. Shawn claims it isn’t and Lassie says that there is one way to find out if he’s telling the truth. Bring out the lie detector. Now, I’ve seen this clip 5 bagillion times since it premiered at Comic-Con and I was so anxious to find out what happened that I was sitting on the edge of my chair. Lassie hooks Shawn up, asks him his name. Shawn gets pissed and says that he knows why Lassie is doing this, that he’s upset that Shawn and Juliet didn’t tell him that they were together but Lassie is just going to have to “deal with the fact that I (Shawn) love her.” (cue me AWEING!!) Lassie says he has one more question, “Are you, Shawn Spencer, psychic.” Shawn takes a breath “yes.” AND HE PASSES! (cue me cheering!)

Shawn then remembers that there is a smudge on the faxed picture that matches the smudge on the fax machine at Colin’s host families’ house. And we’re off! Turns out that Colin’s host father, Charles was kind of a creeper and killed both of the women in order to protect Colin in a weird way. Charles says that he can’t be arrested because he has diplomatic immunity. Ya, well the dumbass shouldn’t have said it in front of the Ambassador who fires him. He is arrested.

Cut to Juliet and Shawn having a VERY awkward conversation at the police station when Lassie asks Shawn for a word. Lassie takes Shawn back down to the interrogation room where Lassie hooks himself back up to the lie detector and tells Shawn that if he doesn’t treat O’Hara (Jules) with the respect that she deserves, he will “discharge my weapon.” Shawn: “you’re saying you’ll shoot me.” Lassie “Repeatedly.” Shawn smirks, then looks down at the lie detector and notices that there is not one bit of dishonesty in what Lassie is telling him. I LOVE THIS SCENE! Lassie was being a total bitch baby through the whole episode and this scene made up for it! It just went to show how much Lassie really does care for Jules. Anyway…

Flashback (I was so bummed when we didn’t get one of these at the beginning, but I squealed again when one popped up at the end.) Henry is hooking up little Shawn to a lie detector to show him how to beat it. AHA! That’s how Shawn did it! :0)

Favorite quotes (not already mentioned.)

Shawn: “So they just bust out immunity and that’s it?” Gus: “They just did.” Shawn: “Awesome.”

Shawn: “Put that on my bucket list.” Gus: “Before or after invisible plane?” Shawn: “Jet pack, wonder woman plane, immunity.”

Gus: “You just said you’re legless.” Shawn: “You’re legless.”

(Got a favorite from the episode I didn’t mention? HIT THE COMMENTS!)

Overall Grade: A! Loved this episode so much. It was a great mix of “oh crap, what’s Lassie going to do now?” and all of the greatness that is Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster.

And the preview for next week? I think that is probably going to be my new favorite episode.
