I cannot wait! July 18th seriously needs to hurry up, this wait is killing me.

thanks, bubba! bwah! can't wait! i'm sooo excited!

less than 168 hours thats only both seasons watched over 5 and 1/4 times...well...lets get to it =)

One more week! I can't wait!

Does anyone have a video of the promo shown during Burn Notice?

If you go to USA's homepage and click the Psych tab up top they have one of the promos playing there.

Oh! Thank-you!!

Bumpage...just getting this place ready for Friday

Just to clarify - - -

The title of the episode is not "The Ghost in You" - it's just "Ghosts"

"The Ghost in You" is a Psychedelic Furs song!

OMG, OMG OMG!!!! How freakin' awesome is this show!! It just gets better and better all the time. Tonight's episode rocked! I laughed so hard in the first 15-20 mins. I didn't dare drink or eat anything. It had everything, including a Belgian Malinois, one of my favorite dog breeds

Tonight's "Ghosts" episode was absolutely hilarious especially seeing Shawn and Gus fighting in the hall at Gus' place of employment; it was fun watching Lassister opening himself up to Shawn's mother. It was nice of Shawn to go bat for Gus nearing the end of tonight's episode.

Okay that was a really clever thing of Shawn to do.

This episode was so different for Psych, but I really really loved it.

James at the end, he was absolutely amazing. The last scene, well I totally saw that coming with his mom leaving Henry. That was amazing acting though.

Oh my gosh, I can't wait til midnight for the second showing.

OMGosh Cybill Shepherd was awesome as Shawn's mom and the laughs were there as always. Shawn and Gus fighting in the hall delivered the belly laugh I needed. Does anyone else think that maybe things will be a little better between Shawn and his father now that Shawn knows the truth? Perhaps. I am going to watch it again. Psych is a good place to escape from your troubles.

Wow, great episode. The only thing is I want Shawn and his Dad start getting along better now that we got the sentimental aspect out of the way. I just hope that there are a little more complex cases in the future episodes as well as all the humor, which I know will come probably next week. I don't want too much fighting with Shawn and his Dad becuase it seems as though it takes a little away from the show. I do NOT mean to hate on Psych in anyway, but I just thought I'd post some thoughts. Now that Shawn's family seems to be cleared up, I'm ready for more great episodes.

Ok, I really hate to say this and I apologieze if I offend anyone but I didn't think the season 3 premiere was all that great. I found the plot kinda dumb and different. However, I loved the interaction between Shawn and his mom. I loved how protective Shawn was of his mom when Shawn told Henry to leave her alone. When Maddie sat Shawn down and told him the truth, I would have thought that Shawn would chastise her but he didn't. He took her hand and said it was okay. There seems to be a genuine love and closeness between Shawn and his mom. I loved the seriousness of the mother-son scenes. I really hope that the writers put in more seriousness. God bless and happy pineapple

WOW! That is all I can say at the moment. This episode was extremely different from any other episode of Psych. The first 20-30 minutes were hilarious. Being able so see shawn when he was a teenager with his long hair and shawn and gus fighting in the hall way was soo funny I couldn't stop laughing and my dad kept staring at me. The episode was also really creepy and i was actually scared during some of the parts but when it ended up it was shawn on the phone i totally saw it coming; it sounded like him. It was strange seeing Psych in such a serious tone but the acting was amazing. I loved the scene with shawn and his mother at the end. It was nice seeing that Shawn really is a regular person with regular feelings and he's not just funny all the time. Although, I really hope that they get more funny scenes in the next one. I miss them. Can't wait till next week!!

Wow I expected this thread to be busier. I guess most Psych fans are closet fans.

I was actually hoping it was an actual ghost haunting the house. I guess you guys that watch the show more often new it was gonna be Shawn.

I'm the same age as Shawn and Gus give or take 6 months (31.5). Do they remember more about the 80's than they should (pop-culture-wise) or do I not remember enough?

Dude, this was awesome, but the final scene breaks my heart.

I really like Maddie's character, but when she told Shawn the day she left her life started again...that made me want to cry for Shawn. And his realitization at the end when Henry came walking in as the whole, 'Oh, she actually left me and he stayed with me' just made me cry more. That was a really good scene, but now I think Shawn and Henry's relationship will turn, especially after all that.

I can't get over that scene. James was amazing. He did a fabulous job, as usual, but he's so wonderful when he is serious. It was great to see that from him and sensitive Shawn is new, and I like it.

Over all I really loved this episode. As I mentioned before it was mixed with wonderful new elements that have and will continue to develop the characters even more. I'm really looking forward to it. I was not disappointed with this 20% more drama they promised, because even though new territory was being chartered tonight, it was still good ole Psych.

I posted this on the psychfic board as well...lol, so you don't think I'm stealing someone else's ideas.

That was The scariest episode of the series....The ghost in the woods was creepy...Then when the dog jumped at teh window scared the ghost outta me Good episode though.

I was different. New season new writing. It was a bit scarry. It was cool. I'll have to watch it again with my glasses on.

I liked the episode. Some really funny stuff, and the dramatic parts were different but I liked them.

My only problem - did it feel to anybody else like it was written in mind with an hour and a half episode? The pacing was a little weird, the chief and juliet only had one scene each, and lassy's plot just seemed to stop abruptly (as did the episode itself). Was this just me or did it seem like this to anybody else?

I thought that tonight's episode was great and that Shawn was h-o-t HOT as usual . I will need to watch it again, like I always do because I tend to miss stuff or just need to see it over to decide if it really was that great. It did have a feeling of quickness to it at times, but it was the opening episode and they had to continue from last year. There is so much more to come, I am sure things will be great. One thing I did notice is that the boss of Gus, whose house was "haunted" played in the theatrical movie Chances Are with Cybil Shepard. I think Robert Downey Jr was in it too. One other thing too is that by the way Henry was in the last 2 seasons always telling Shawn that he didn't know the whole situation with the divorce......I just knew all along that the MOM left Henry, not the other way around. Also, did anyone else catch that the opening scene from 1995 was the time Henry busted Shawn and got him arrested?? Shawn explained that to Lassiter in the very first Psych show. So I thought that was clever too. I just think the writing is genius and James' acting rocks. He is great.

P.S. BECAUSE OF THIS NEW REGISTRATION PROCESS, I USUALLY AM KNOWN AS PAK67 BUT CAN'T GET MY OLD INFO BACK

I absolutely loved this episode. When they showed teen shawn and rookie Lassiter!! OMG I was laughing. Then the fighting at Gus' work, the ghost, the dog, and the "By text message no less"

Love this show. Can't wait for next week.

Yeah it needed a little more character development between Shawn and his mother. Maybe it's meant to be a teaser for future episodes. Shawn has been pretty hard on his dad but instantly forgives his mom?

I love Psych. I think it is the funniest show. But, last night's episode sucked! Serious & PO'd Shawn = not funny. Trifling & Goofy Shawn = funny. And, I thought Shawn & his dad were starting to get along...I didn't like seeing them fight again.

I would have liked to see Shawn's mom see Gus. It would have been funny if she was like happier to see Gus than Shawn. And Shawn would be like, "I knew she liked you better", to Gus.

EDIT: And, that "Dad left you, but stayed in the house" crap was very lame!!!

The fight scene between Shawn and Gus was funny.

I wished they would have either showed us when Gus sent Shawn the I quit text message or at least have Shawn tell us what it was. I am sure it would have been funny.

I couldn't help but wonder why Gus' job would have been in jeopardy after all this time. I know that this couldn't have been Gus' boss first time seeing him in the papers, as much as Gus help Shawn solve crimes and their pictures are in the papers and plus it couldn't have been Gus' first time, messing work or having his work hours cut short.

I thought the premiere was great.

I was so touched by the final scene with Corbin Bernsen. The way he was primping in the mirror, looking around, and then waving like a schoolboy was great acting.

Nice job.

I watched the episode this afternoon thanks to DVR, but honestly...I'd have to say it's one of my least favorite episodes. There was just a lot that felt off about it--there wasn't a real case this time, the drama elements felt out of place and forced, and it seemed they may as well shouldn't have even bothered including Jules, the chief, and Lassiter in the episode since their roles were so minute. The split focus between Shawn's parents, and the faux-case they were working on made it feel less like an actual Psych episode and more like...well, I'm not sure since I don't watch much TV. Shawn and Henry seem to have gone into a relapse for no explicable reason. Also, it felt like Shawn and Gus were really less on top of things than they'd ever been--but not in a desirable way. They were both sloppy this time, and maybe you could argue that Shawn wanted to act sloppy to make Gus look like he was needed...but it felt like they were constantly screwing up with the boss, right down to the last scene in the office.

Two things I did like about the episode were 1) the fact that it continued off right where the last episode left off, right down to Shawn having to cancel his date and not having a phone (and also the reference to Henry's date from the episode before), and 2) the fact that there was still sort of a wrap-up. It's nice that Shawn put a few things together that probably slid past the entire audience, due to the boss's...affairs...not being the main focus of the episode. I'll give them credit for being different, but I'd like it more if they stuck to the traditional mysteries.

For me it was a disappointing start to the season. I'm hopeful that the other episodes will be better, since they'll be going back to the mold that works so much more effectively.

I love Psych, but this wasn't their strongest episode, IMO. A little disappointing for a season opener. Seemed awkward overall. Watched "Bounty Hunters!" (from the marathon earlier in the day) afterward and felt better. Loved the vest! Wow, did Kevin Sorbo do all his own stunts? Pretty impressive.

Loved the rookie uniformed Lassiter and Gus dragging Sean out of the office. Pretty funny. Sean letting the boss get away with a crime (for Gus's sake) was...well, I dunno. Feel conflicted about that.

i liked it. the look on shawn's face at the end awww i just wanted to give him a big hug!!

I agree - some good acting by Corbin Bernsen there! And for a guy who is supposed to be so observant, how could he have missed the fact that his mom was the one to leave?

It certainly was different - and refreshing, I thought. Being silly all the time can start to become a cliche quickly, so I think it was good of them to go off the beaten path for this one.

Season openers are tricky things, especially when you have to tie a cliffhanger thread and elaborate on that effectively.

Another season-transition strategy (which US shows don't use much [I wish some of them did, though], but shows from elsewhere do, especially Japan) is to reflect a real time progression between seasons - usually this is done with the main character either disappearing or going away for a few months for some reason. In Japan, it's rare for a TV series to last more than 1 or 2 seasons, so this is a more popular strategy - before, when 90% of shows were only written for one season, the main character(s) were simply killed off, thus ending the story.

I'm really confused about the dates for this show. Shawn said he hasn't seen his mom in three years. How long has it been since the pilot to now? Years? Months? Had Shawn been living in Santa Barbara a while in the Pilot or had he just gotten back from being with his mom? Henry had been back about a year right when they met up in the Pilot?

On to the show: I loved the flashback. I guess the divorce hurt Shawn really bad because in the Pilot the female detective before Jules said he could have been valedictorian. I guess after the divorce in his senior year he started rebelling and stole the car to impress the girl. I did like the earrings he had in his ear. I assume he did that to annoy Henry. I wonder when he stopped wearing them. I loved Lassiter being the rookie cop. What was up with the mustache? That was weird looking. I liked Shawn being back in his old room and finding all of his old things. Especially the Furby. That was funny. I liked all the references to Shawn (and Gus) of the Dead and the reference to Alice Bundy from Scary Sherry. I thought that Gus dragging Shawn out of his office building was hilarious. I did think that the realization that Lassiter was telling his deepest secrets to Shawn's mom ended a bit abruptly. I hope they bring that back later, have him worry about if Shawn's mom told Shawn everything or not.

I think Shawn's going to have to do a lot of thinking about his relationship with his dad. I did like how Henry was so hopeful now that Shawn's mom was back in town. I think he still really loves her and wants to be with her again. I think the divorce hurt him maybe more than it hurt Shawn. I can't wait to see where they take the relationship between Henry and Shawn and Shawn and his mom and Shawn's mom and Henry. Did they ever name Shawn's mom? I don't remember hearing a name in the episode last night. I can't wait for next week's episode. It looks like it will be back to the good mix of comedy and drama that Psych usually is. Psych this week was a bit more dramatic than usual. That barking dog scared me. I don't know if Psych has ever scared me besides the creepy MPD/DID guy in Who Ya Gonna Call?

Hey there DeepPoet, the pilot was 3 seasons ago and when Shawn confronted Henry, and we were introduced to Henry's character, Shawn said he was with his mom helping her thru the divorce. Henry had been back in Santa Barbara for about a year when the pilot aired but Shawn didn't know. I think the mustache is just a funny jab at Lassie, back in the day kind of thing. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, Shawn told Lassiter and is original partner in the pilot episode that his dad had him arrested for stealing a car. This flashback was that incident. I think that people will accept the whole Henry/Maddie/Shawn drama because a lot of the show has been about Henry and Shawns twisted relationship. For many times in many episodes, Henry HAS tried to talk to Shawn about what really happened and that Henry wasn't necessarily the bad guy, but Shawn never wanted to listen, his mind was made up. How ironic that his mom was "the one who left". I don't think that everything will be peachy now between Shawn and Henry, they still have a lot of kinks to iron out. Season 2 though, they were getting closer to each other, so they were working things out a bit compared to season one. But in an article, James Roday said that each season WILL be different because of the characters evolving and that is great to watch. IMO. I love the show, so if it's drama, comedy, scary, romantic....bring it on.

No way!!! It wasn't the best episode ever but it was good. I didn't expect it to be awesome. I laughed a lot and after it was over I realized a lot of things too. I love the fact that Shawn was really behind the whole thing and that Gus was never really close to losing his job. His best buddy saved him as usual. See, the genius behind the whole writing of the Psych script is that we were led to believe that Gus' boss was being haunted. And although I knew ahead of time from something I read awhile back that Shawn was the "ghost", it was awesome that Shawn could act like an idiot around the the boss' house and make wisecracks to his boss, because the entire time Shawn had dirt on him that he KNEW he was going to use against him(the affair with the secretary). So in the end he made Gus look like a god in front of his company and he ratted out the boss and got his friend to keep his job and get a raise. Classic. We didn't realize that til it was all over though. That is typical Shawn/Psych. He knows EXACTLY what is going on when everyone else around is clueless. It's just like when Chief Vick thought she was out of a job, but Shawn knew the entire time that she never was out, he was out getting dirt on the guy that was supposed to get her job. It's the same thing. You really have to look at the whole picture when watching this show, there is so much to take in. Not just the jokes but all of it. That is what makes this show so darned awesome!!!

You almost have to watch it a second time to fully appreciate all that's going on (progression of the story, references to past episodes, etc.).

Best line that sounded dirty but wasn't...Shawn referring to the Dutch cocoa: "Tastes like it was dipped straight out of Willy Wonka's river."



Anyone spot a pineapple? I didn't find one. (EDIT: Never mind, I found it. On the counter when Henry is pouring the wine, near the beginning of the episode.)

Anyone else have a pineapple-themed dinner before watching? I made pineapple fried rice (allrecipes.com) for dinner, which actually tasted pretty good, and pineapple-cream cheese mousse for dessert (which was heavenly). I think hubby's getting a bit tired of pineapple, though.

I 'bout fell out of my chair when I saw that, lol. They had to make them look different somehow since it was 13 years ago. Shawn with his long hair, earrings and attitude, and Lassie with the mustache was just too funny!



I have nerves of steel, hardly anything on tv scares me but I actually jumped when the dog barked and jumped up against the window. I sure wasn't expecting it.

I thought this was a fabulous episode and it had me on the edge of my seat a couple times, lol.

This wasn't one of the better episodes, in my opinion. Especially towards the end when Shawn talked with Gus' boss and practically blackmailed him to let Gus continue working for him. Why didn't Shawn turn him in for the illegal business? It just didn't seen like the normal behavior of Shawn to let the bad guy off the hook. If fact... why would Gus want to work for a criminal? It just didn't seem like the normal flow of previous episodes. Maybe it's just me... or maybe I missed something?

One thing I did love was the 1995 flashback. As others have been saying, the mustache on rookie Lassie and Shawn with the long hair and single earring was very humorous. And of course, the "wrestling" in the pharmaceutical building... hilarious.

I'm sure the episodes will be back to the normal flow of things in no time!

Anyone else feel this way?

I think it's pretty much attributed to the fact that Shawn was completely misinformed when it came to the entire divorce. And the end with Henry, it was Shawn realizing that he really does care for his mother and isn't as horrible as he makes him out to be.

In regards to everything else. I still enjoyed this episode. It was mostly a character piece, sure with some storylines flying around, but it mostly centered on character development. Sure, it might of had a different feeling from other episodes and it was a good one I thought, but the show is growing and evolving, and the cast and writers who work so hard to bring us this amazing show deserve to dive deeper into their roles. With no character development and some changes here and there, the show goes nowhere with cardboard characters...and I don't think the actors would be too pleased either lol.

I absolutely loved everything they did with this premiere. It was really awesome to see the characters actually hang back and be characters and deal with real life situations. It was a darn good side to see from everyone involved. James was amazing, as was the entire cast. Kudos!

I think they could have spaced this one crammed, mediocre episode into three great ones. There was just too much going on to give any of the ideas justice.

Episode 1- Shawn's mom comes to town, we see a LOT more of Lassiter and Jules, and we learn what really happened in the divorce. It would've had WAY more time for comedy and still fit in that one pretty serious part. And Shawn and Gus solve a crime.

Episode 2- The Ghost Episode. It could've gotten way more attention without it having to do with Gus's job at stake. And the idea that in the end it turns out that it was Shawn the whole time- AWESOME. If they dedicated a real case to it it would've made a fantastic episode.

Episode 3- Gus quits. They focus all of Gus's work stuff into one eppy. And Shawn saves the day by solving a murder that occured in the workplace, making a deal with the bossman to let Gus keep his job. This also eliminates the bad guy going free.

So there.

Hello! I was on here a while back, but decided to use a new user name because well, I really like this one.

I've been a PSYCH fan ever since the beginning. It's one of my favorite shows right now, and I'm proud to say that PSYCH is in the company of other shows that I think to be excellent including BSG and The Wire.

I looked forward to season 3 with much anticipation and when the new episode came around, it felt like an extra special day. I found it quite enjoyable, but I do agree with some of the comments so far in that I didn't feel it was a terribly good episode. It was enjoyable enough, and I loved both the hilarious comedic moments and the serious moments. I just feels as though it was an incomplete episode.

Spoilers ahead!

For one, I really missed Juliet. Her short scene here simply wasn't enough. It made me feel really bad for Maggie, who I know really enjoys being on the show. When she was handed the script for premiere episode I'm sure she must have been very disappointed. You see, we're very much re-introducing these characters again not only to the old fans, but to a whole new audience as well, who may have discovered the show through reruns and DVDs.

Each character at the very beginning of each season has to have their moment that define who they are and what they are to show. Unfortunately, Juliet's part could have been played by anyone as her lines had nothing to do with police work, who she is, or anything that indicates what she does in the show, and how she relates with the rest of the cast.

Someone said that the story between Shawn and his mom needed more time, but I can think of at least two spots in the show when Juliet could have come in and it wouldn't have taken away from Shawn and his mom. First spot could come in the police station while Shawn was showing his mom around. Remember they were talking about Shawn and how he had only first dates? It's the perfect opportunity for Juliet to come in. Shawn could introduce Juliet to his mom, and her mom could give a knowing nod to both Shawn and Juliet, as if hinting something. The second spot could have come later on in the episode, just before Shawn has his heart to heart with his mom in Chief Vick's office.

Let's admit it, the set up for those two to have a romantic relationship pretty much came to a grinding halt in the second half of Season 2, which was disappointing after that great set up at the end of the mid season. I know that they really can't go heavy with it, but a hint here or there would be great, just to keep it going. And this would have been a great opportunity to pick it up again.

I thought the subplot with Lassiter and Shawn's mom was great, but I felt it was somehow incomplete as well. I wasn't convinced that Lassiter was truly opening up to her. At the back of my mind that he was just putting up an act, and I keep expecting her to call him on it, beyond exposing her knowledge of Clint Eastwood's character in Heartbreak Ridge. In the end, you didn't know how her evaluation of Lassiter turned out. You didn't know if she was wise to Lassiter's ploy, which is disappointing because coming from a family of geniuses, you come with a certain expectation of her capabilities.

I knew that there was something off in the haunting. We all know that there is nothing supernatural in this show. Every weird thing can be explained rationally. So having all these really strange things happen like the ghost walking in the forest, the weird voice on the phone, Shawn's icy breath after sticking his head in the basement window... you know that someone was behind this. And it was kind of just all right when it was revealed that Shawn was behind it all along.

Now with my disappointments out of the way, let me talk about what I enjoyed. I really liked that they cast Christopher McDonald in the role. He has a sinister, and yet funny quality to him that makes him fit perfectly. He was kind of pale in his last scene though, and I'm not sure if it was acting. I hope he's allright.

Gus trying to make Shawn leave the office was absolutely hilarious. One of the funniest things I've seen on the show. I also liked how Shawn drank the water after bursting in on Gus and his boss.

All in all the episode had a few really hilarious moments, but I was kind of left hanging with the story itself. It has to continue in some fashion in the next episode, or else it will all just be left hanging without resolution. I'm not sure if Cybill Shepherd (and isn't it cool how they named her Maddie?) will be back, but seeing how a lot of things were left unresolved, she has to be, or else I'd be really disappointed.

And yeah, they better make up for Chief Vick and specially Juliet's near absence in this episode!

That said, I'm glad PSYCH is back for a third season! I'm writing all of this only because I love the show, and I really wouldn't like the creators to become complacent. They have to deliver a terrific show every episode, considering they have only so many episodes per season, if they want the show to continue on and on for more seasons. I certainly would want to see PSYCH to continue for years to come.

First and foremost, I feel old! I remember the Dyamite magazines when I went to school. Seeing Shawn pulling out a pristine issue with Square Pegs on the cover! Second, now I am looking for my daughter's Furby! She got one a couple Christmas ago when they came back in and she stopped play with it. My husband packed everything she didn't play with much up in the attic! Now, she wants it, and no, I have not found it yet.

At first, it did bother me that Shawn didn't go to the police about the VP illegal activity (I bet you anything that the network had a field day about how Shawn can't do anything illegall!), but watching it again, Shawn was just warning him that he knew about the affair and the reselling samples to clients (remember all the doctors on the VP's caller id.) and stated this is what he and Gus do and just wanted the opportunity to continue to do what they do, because Shawn didn't want to lose Gus. Gus told Shawn how important it was to work at Central Coast (48 grand! Man, how I would like to be paid that, but I can't sell viagra to doctors.). And remember, Shawn isn't psychic, so already, he is lying. Something is telling me we are coming back to this. I love it when Shawn quoted the line from Spiderman which was in my signature a long time ago: "With great power comes great responsibility." I lost it there!

Of course the Lassiter stuff has hilarious! Shooting at cats if they become threatening? lol! "Hey beanpole! Will you please fingerprint and book him!" And Lassie giving Henry a complete deer in the headlights. It is no wonder that Lassie came the cop he is today! Tim was awesome in the look he gave when Cybill (Madeline) revealed who her son was. Awesome! I had to go look up "Heartbreak Ridge" on imdb.com because I didn't remember that Clint Eastwood movie. If you look this movie up, Clint's character is trying to reconnect with his wife. How ironic is that!

Overall, I love the episode. Sure, I miss seeing Juliet and the Chief; but they will have their moments to shine in later episodes if you read what is in store this season. Now, if you will excuse me. I have a Furby to look for!

hey

well the premiere was awesome! but did any1 notice the following?... Gus texted Shawn when he was told he had to quit Psych, but Shawn broke his phone, and Gus knew that. When Gus got to his bosses house, he called Shawn, but again, he knew Shawn had no phone. When Shawn's Mom was having a session with Lassiter, the lamp on the table, the body of it, was a pineappel... and the tall lamp, right under the shade was a pineapple. Then when Shawn and Gus were in Gus' bosses office, his boss said, when Shawn was pretending to be the ghost, he heard some1 say 'Gus'... and shawn never said Gus when he was doing that... did u notice any of that? well the premiere was awesome! cant wait 4 the new episodes, and 2 find more stuff like that! =]

bye!

This is the beginning of the third season. But according to Shawn's mom, she left when Shawn was a senior in high school back in 1995. It doesn't take that long to help his mom go through a divorce. And Shawn says he hasn't seen his mom in 3 years. So, the timeline is off. This whole "Dad left mom, but he stayed at home while mom moved away" is just sooooo dumb. How can any reasonable person think the father left the mother when it was the mother who left town?!?!?

I have been wanting Shawn to kinda keep chasing after Jules. But, now that I found out that James Roday and Maggie Lawson are a couple for real, I don't like the idea of Shawn and Jules to have any romantic involvement. Isn't that unethical or something?

I noticed that he didn't say Gus, but I didn't notice the other things. I guess I'll just have to watch it again.

After i watched "Ghost", I did feel like it cut off abruptly. I'm thinking that this is going to continue for a couple of episodes (not the case mind you).

Shawn's mom- I think she's staying for a little bit. The cliffhanger in the season finale seemed to big to just have her on for one episode.

And Lassy's therapy sessions never resolved itself. Usually in other cop shows that I have watched, if you're talking to the shrink, they're thinking about letting you go (correct me if I'm wrong). Having him spill his darkest secrets to Shawn's mom has got to have some repercussions.

But I do think that Juliet should of had more face time. And I didn't notice the text message problem. A bit of a slip-up by the writers is my thinking. And I think that when Shawn supposedly said "Gus" wasn't shown to us. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but did Shawn hang up the phone right away when he saw Gus? I can't remember.

I will pose a question: What do you think will happen with Shawn and his dad now that he knows the truth?

Before anything was said, Shawn pushed a button on the phone, which I took to be hanging up but maybe not?

My take on this is that Shawn believed his dad basically booted his mom out, therefore he was the one who "left" the relationship. Of course, we all know now that wasn't the case.
