Shawn's apartment will be full of trinkets from his travel almost everything in his kitchen would have pineapple in it, nothing would match because when everything doesn't match everything automatically matches, walls would be bright and vibrant, 80's memorabilia everywhere and so many other things. The thing about his apartment is they would have to make it perfect and include all of these but I believe they could do it.


Jules and Gus would nuture Shawn back to health entirely Gus goes off to work and has Juliet take over helping Shawn time for a Shules moment there I think it would be a great episode! and it would have his apartment

I really want to see an episode where we can see the angry side of Shawn and see he really punch someone in the face. I don't have a very created mind so I don't know why he would be that angry but I just think it would be so cool to see him deck someone.

It would be interesting to see the angry side. I wonder who he could deck. Hmmmm

::Hides Lassie in her pocket::

Hmmmm indeed... maybe instead, we could see Gus deck Shawn? Or Shawn could sucker punch McNab? Or some guy trying to hit on Abigail could get a good side punch (the type you don't see coming) from Shawn?

I think Lassie would want to clean his clock if Shawn even tried to pop him. But I'm sure Shawn would hold his own. Shoot, Henry taught him how to shoot, he had to have taught him to fight.

But my favorite defensive move of both Shawn and Gus is the running away. LOL!

Oh is that the time! Dang! See ya'll tomorrow!

Don't forget about screaming like histaric little school girls!! I think he should clean the clock of some guy who won't stop hitting on Jules or Abigail and is making whichever of the two really uncomfortable. As for the Lassie side of it, Shawn and Lassie should both enter a gun competion both not knowing the other entered. Then Shawn wants to leave so he and Lassie don't get into anything or thats what he tells Lassie he really just doesn't want to put Lassie to shame but Lassie provokes him to stay and Shawn throws the the events in the begining but then Lassie starts being conceeded so Shawn uses his mad gun skillz[yes with a z] and puts Lassie to shame. It would show off one of Shawn's hidden talent ans add in some Lassie angst.

Wow I apparently had my writers hat on while thinking-about/typing this I like angst it adds to both the drama and the comedic aspect now on to commentator hat

I would love to see the dark/angry side of Shawn, but I highly doubt he would go after Lassie. Lassie doesn't aggravate him, actually I think there are very few people who could or would aggravate him enough to bring him to the brink of violence. It would have to be a situation. Shawn needs to have control, and he's figured out how to manipulate and control people very well. Situations are not so easy, and could very well throw him out of his element. It's why he threw the cell phone into the water in Mr. Yang- he had to take the steering wheel and be in charge, rather than letting "Mr. Yang" dictate what would happen.

A situation where someone he cares about is in danger, and there's little or nothing he can do about it is pretty much the only thing I think that would cause him to act out physically. He's not materialistic, so he wouldn't go so far for "things." At least in Mr. Yang there were clues and he had a plan, so he was able to manage his feelings of his mother being taken by working the case. But if he had nothing to go on- that could be what it takes to break him.

This doesn't mean that a fight between Shawn and Lassie isn't possible, or even a fight between Shawn and Gus. It wouldn't happen because he's going after them per se, though. More of him acting out of anger at the situation and perhaps a belief that either Lassie or Gus is holding him back.

So who would win in a fight between Shawn and Lassie...good question! Lassie is obviously a highly trained cop that knows hand to hand finghting techniques. But if Henry taught Shawn how to shoot, I'm certain he taught Shawn how to fight- and how to fight like a cop at that (police techniques, etc). I wouldn't underestimate Shawn in the least. But I really have no idea who would win this. Probably Lassie, actually, because I don't believe Shawn would be in his right mind if things got to this point. He'd be very unfocused and disorganized.

I completely agree! Shawn would only act out in anger if someone was in trouble and he felt that someone was holding him back from helping that person. You hit it spot on, that really is the only time Shawn would act out with agression physically.

True that! And the smartest thing to do in many of those situations is to run away (preferrably doing the infamous "serpentine" move). LOL! But yes, I dig the screaming. And the know when to do it, that's why I love these guys.

That would be cool to see. Hmmm, so when are you going to share those fanfics with us, SnarkyPsychicRules! I also love the angst, it's the spice in the bowl of dramedy. And Psych folks do it so well.

Correctomundo, you and Psychrulz make good points. And yes, I wonder who would push him to the edge. *one eyebrow raises* Things that make you go hmm.

Now how about an eppy like Death at a Funeral. I'm not sure how many folks saw that, but needless to say, there was something in the casket that did jump out, and it wasn't a snake. Shawn would freak, Gus would try to keep folks calm, Henry would be screaming at folks because of the mess-up, and Lassie would be arresting everyone involved.

"So who would win in a fight between Shawn and Lassie...good question! Lassie is obviously a highly trained cop that knows hand to hand finghting techniques. But if Henry taught Shawn how to shoot, I'm certain he taught Shawn how to fight- and how to fight like a cop at that (police techniques, etc). I wouldn't underestimate Shawn in the least. But I really have no idea who would win this. Probably Lassie, actually, because I don't believe Shawn would be in his right mind if things got to this point. He'd be very unfocused and disorganized."

Hate to tell you this Shawn-lovers, but Lassiter would win hands-down. Cops don't stay alive and on the force that long without knowing how to scrap. And I'm not talking macho fisticuffs over a chick or your average bar fight, I'm talking deadly force situations. Yes, I'm sure Shawn can handle himself in a brawl, but Lassiter has wisdom, experience, and discipline on his side.

Actually the cop I'd hate to tangle with would be Buzz McNabb. He looks like a puppy but that's one big dude, and he could put a hurtin' on someone if he gets his big meat paws on them. He's a gentle giant, but when necessary, I'll bet Buzz handles business.

Texasartchick

I think the better question is would Lassiter really hurt Shawn? I mean he always says that he would love to shoot him but would he really cause Shawn physical pain? Personally I think that if he knew that Shawn was just pushed over the edge, acting out of anger and distress, and didn't really want to hurt Lassiter that he would just try and stop/help Shawn, not hurt him. Also Lassiter is a cop and hurting an innocent civilian isn't like him.

So after my blather, what do you guys think?

I think Lassiter would take it as far as he needed to in order to get Shawn under control, short of shooting him, of course. I'm sure Lassie would prefer to just pin him down, but if that didn't work, he'd have to do what he has to do. It's a call every cop needs to make. I guess it would depend on the situation.

Now, would Jules be able to take him down if needed? I think she can, she's shown her scrapping skills in a few episodes. Again, though, she'd be in the same situation as Lassie, and it would be dramatic and traumatic.

And yeah, Buzz would take him down in a heartbeat. But then he'd need therapy to get over it. He practically idolizes Shawn.

Dang...now I'm not so sure I want to see this! I'd be bawling for sure, for everyone involved. Mabye it's hitting a little too close to home, workwise.

I think this show is great. The characters/actors are wildly entertaining, and it vaguely reminds me of Ecyclopedia Brown when I was a kid.

Here's my idea for a DIRECTION of the show which I would love to see the writers lift (you'll get no intellectual property gripes about this from me).
What if we (the audience) as well as the main characters (including Shaun himself) started believing Shaun really had some kind of Psychic gift.
See, I love this show, but I've been a little disappointed in the last few episodes of the last season that Shaun doesn't seem to be "selling" the psychic thing so well anymore. He's just being a detective and being obvious about it. Has the ruse run it's course? Perhaps not... in one episode a smarta$$ kid said to Shaun "you're not psychic, you could just be hyper-perceptive," and I'm paraphrasing there of course, but isn't that what "psychic" is - Hyper-perceptive? What if Shaun's skills of perception, after so much practice and application, start accellerating so much he almost doesn't know where his leaps in logic are coming from, but he keeps being spot on. I'm not saying make him "really psychic," just make the audience (and the characters) wonder.

"I think the better question is would Lassiter really hurt Shawn? I mean he always says that he would love to shoot him but would he really cause Shawn physical pain?"

No. Psychrulz is right, he'd simply try to restrain him, and failing that, he'd do no more than necessary to quickly end the fight without injury. He may not admit it openly, but Lassiter is Shawn's friend. Whether he likes it or not!


Texasartchick

I agree with you guys he would only hurt Shawn if absolutely HAD to, wheter either would admit it they are friends. Now as psychrulz said Jules taking him down would be so suspenseful and dramatic and McNab would do it in a heartbeat but then freak out and have to go through a psych evaluation, mabye thats how we get Shawn's mom back! Anyone taking Shawn down and actually having to restrain him would be crazy and make the audience gasp and add more drama to the show 10 fold.

That is interesting, I didn't think about how Shawn doesn't have to "sell" his ability as hard as he once did. Quite interesting. He can take it further in different ways. I was actually hoping the police folks would recognize some of his deductive reasoning, but then it wouldn't be "Psychic" thingy. So great point, KennyBourbon. And cool name, makes me want a drink. And I don't drink! LOL!

This brings us all to the question of who really knows Shawn isn't Psychic? Although i agree he really hasn't been selling the whole psychic thing, but if you look at his past cases he hasn't really had the time or chance.

Edit: Dang, I posted a response on the wrong thread. LOL! I guess its's time for beddy bye

I've done that numerous times, ok a lot but its ok.

LOL! Thanks!

Oh, by the way, how is the NCIS/Psych cross-over coming? I'm just finishing up Act 5 of "Inconceivable" and heading back into the woods with Buzz, Inigo and Shawn for Act 6.

Let us know where you post your fic when you're done.

Oh, thanks 4 reminding me my summer has been really hectic, I need to get back to writing!

Cools! I look forward to reading it! I gotta hammer out some Lassieness tonight.

Got any Lassieness for us? Can we have a snipet[or the entire thing you have so far ] PLEASE!!!

Oh! Sure! I didn't want to take up a lot of space. Hmm...let's see...I'll do a snippet. Hang on

EDIT: Okay, as requested, here's the "beginning" of Lassieness.

Inconceivable


Act 3 – Same Day – SBPD

[Lassiter is beaming as he clears his desk. O’Hara walks over with a case file.]

O’HARA: Here you go. I just need your signature and we can officially close this case.

LASSITER: Gladly. [Lassiter signs the paperwork.] Life is great isn’t it?

O’HARA: I guess.

LASSITER: [Lassiter goes back to cleaning his desk.] Of course it’s great. Shawn Spencer is out of my hair for two weeks guaranteed.

O’HARA: I see.

LASSITER: No whining pipsqueak divining his way into our police business.

O’HARA: [Sarcastically] Yeah, that meddling kid.

LASSITER: [Lassiter looks up at O’Hara.] Excuse me?

O’HARA: Nothing. He does deserve time off after that last case.

LASSITER: After the stunt he pulled, he deserves my foot up his ass.

O’HARA: But his so-called stunt broke the case wide open.

LASSITER: He put himself in danger by impersonating the next victim! He’s a consultant, and I use that term loosely. He is not a cop. His dad almost had a heart attack when he came on scene.

O’HARA: We did have the victim, ah Shawn, covered, so he was pretty safe. But I don’t think his father has ever seen Shawn go that deep “undercover”.

LASSITER: Me neither and I tell you what, I don’t ever want to see it again. Do you know how long it will take to get the image of Spencer donning a fiery red wig with matching lipstick, a black dress, and red stilettos out of my head? [Lassiter shudders.] I know one thing for sure; Guster couldn’t have helped him with that ungodly costume. He must have had professional help. He fooled the killer. Stratham believed Spencer was Ms. Thomas.

O’HARA: [Juliette smiles as she remembers how long it took her to get Shawn into his outfit. She then quickly cleared her throat.] Well as I recall, Stratham was not the only one fooled.

LASSITER: Yeah, his father thought he was Rhonda Johnson from Robbery helping us out. Henry was beside himself when he found out it was Spencer. Talk about blowing a gasket.

O’HARA: Well, didn’t you try to hit on Shawn when he walked over to the bar?

LASSITER: [Lassiter jumps up from his desk.] O’HARA!

O’HARA: I’m just saying. He does look good in red. [Lassiter stands there turning red. O’Hara smiles.] Oh, and there’s a package for you. It was sent by messenger a few minutes ago. [O’Hara hands the package to Lassiter. O’Hara starts walking back to her desk.] I’m heading out. See you tomorrow.

[Lassiter sits back down at his desk and looks at the package. It is from his old chief and mentor, John Fenich. Lassiter opens the folder and empties the contents on his desk. The contents include a letter, a newspaper clipping and one small packet. Lassiter begins to read the letter.]

LASSITER: Oh God.

[Lassiter slowly stands up from his desk. He looks at the letter again, grabs the rest of the contents and makes his way hastily out of the station.]

**********

and scene *wink* Thanks to Winky and her psychadellic beta skills

ROFL!! Chica that was an EPIC WIN!! Lassie hitting on Shawn!! I need to know what's in the box, pretty please with pineapple on top.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I sent you the whole fic (well, what I have so far) to your inbox...the contents will be discussed in the next act. Im going to post the fic on a fanfic site (eventually!). I will try to finish this weekend.

Thanks again!

My gosh, see, I need a beta just to post sometimes! LOL!

Thank you!!

I second the emotion! Thank you! I love reading it send me more!

I had an idea for an episode that could bring up so Shules-ey moments.
So I was thinking that there could be a murder on one of the game shows that have to do with married couples (like The Newlywed Game or something) and Shawn and Jules would have to go undercover as a newlywed couple to solve the murder. I'm sure it could give way to many awkward and funny moments XD!

That's an awesome idea!!! THat would be hilarious!!!

i've got beach-itis so i was thinking about a surfing episode. a surfer is murdered and shawn and gus have to find who did it. maybe even learn how to surf somewhere in there. and dominic monaghan and billy boyd can guest star as surfers (cause they surf) or an actual surfer who does that for a living.. for some reason i can see gus getting it and shawn just falling everytime. thatd be funny.

Don't worry Winky, the writers may take ideas from anywhere they like - there is no property in an idea, so no worries about intellectual property rights anyway. Even if there was property in a idea, it'd be pretty silly to try and "claim" ownership of an idea written on a message by a fan who doesn't even have rights in the show! What is the point of that!? That 'Psy vs Psy' issue sounds crazy!

In any case, I LOVE your ideas. I really want to see more Lassiter and Gus as well. I like your idea about Gus actually solving a case.. I know they've already done an episode where Gus has to pretend to be the psychic.. and one where Shawn is serious and Gus is an idiot.. but I'd like to see more of Gus being an idiot, if that makes sense.

I definately agree with your Shules comments also - I am in no hurry to see them get together. In fact, I wouldn't mind terrible if they didn't. But I do like their interaction.

!!!! wow you just stole directly from my brain im pretty sure! i have been waiting for a surfing episode for... well, pretty much forever haha. i've been surfing since i was 11 so... 9 yrs and growing up in socal i know very few fellow locals who have never tried surfing, i almost find it hard to believe that it hasnt even been mentioned yet.

you are so right though, this could be amazing! so glad to know someone's on the same wavelength as me

I would love to see an eppy where Shawn and Gus are music DJs. I just want to hear them chat it up with folks on the phone. Not sure of a mystery there, I just want to hear tons of adlibs and banter.

That could lead to some classic moments, lol. I'd love to see it too Oh, and any updates on your fanfic??


I was thinking it would be interesting to see a case where the suspect has an identical twin- eyewitness descriptions are unreliable, DNA evidence is inconclusive because identical siblings share the same DNA. The twins could have it planned out well enough and keep blaming each other, so it's near impossible to nail either of them without reasonable doubt. In the end the pressure is on to prove which one did it, or they both go free.

Ooh, yeah. I should resend it from the beginning because I added the flashback in there. I can send it to your inbox if you like. I don't want to overflow the thread with a long post (unless you want it that way).

Hiya, Sorry for the long post on this, but here's Inconceivable so far. I promise to post the rest on a fanfic site!

Some of you may have seen two "acts" so far, but this is the Beta version with a few updates. Enjoy and again, sorry for the long post!

ACT 1 - 1987

[Young Shawn and young Gus sitting under a tree in the middle of the woods.]

GUS: I can’t believe your dad left us.

SHAWN: He didn’t leave us. He’s over there, behind those bushes.

[Gus turns around to look, but Shawn grabs him by the arm to stop him from looking.]

SHAWN: No! Don’t look! He’s waiting for me to figure out where he is.

GUS: But you already figured it out.

SHAWN: I know, but I don’t want him to know I know. Not yet.

GUS: Why?

SHAWN: Because I don’t want him to think I cheated.

GUS: Did you cheat?

SHAWN: Yeah. When he told us to keep our eyes closed, I peeked.

[Henry appears from behind Shawn and Gus.]

HENRY: I thought so, kiddo.

[Shawn and Gus jump.]

HENRY: I was trying to teach you something kid. What happens if you get lost in the woods, huh? What would you do?

SHAWN: Ah, I would wait for a ranger to find me?

HENRY: It’ll never happen kid. Come on. Let’s go.




ACT 2 – Present Day

[Officer Buzz McNabb hiking at Point Sal with another man, his friend, Inigo Montanya, a college friend who is a resident at the Santa Barbara Medical Center.]

INIGO: So how long do you think it will take us to get back to the campsite?

McNABB: Probably one more day. We did go all the way off the ranger trails. We have at least ten more miles before we hit the marker for the main trail.

INIGO: Nice. We can take our time, unless you need to get back?

McNABB: No hurry. My wife is spending time with her sister in Boston, and I'm not due back at the station until next week.

INIGO: Great. We can do a bit more fishing before we...

[Inigo stops in his tracks.]

INIGO: What the...?

McNABB: Inigo?

[Inigo stares off into the distance.]

INIGO: That's strange. There's someone over there. See! [He points.] Someone is sitting on that rock. I thought we were the only ones out this far. And he doesn't look like he should be out here.

[As they get closer, McNabb recognizes the man sitting on the rock.]

McNABB: Shawn? Shawn Spencer?

INIGO: You know this guy?

[Shawn looks around, but is not startled.]

SHAWN: Excuse me?

[Shawn acts calm and collected, as if he is waiting for something or someone. He is dressed in his regular clothes: green button-down shirt, jeans, and black Pumas. There is no sign of camping equipment or camping apparel in sight.]

McNABB: Ah, what are you doing here? Where is your gear?

[McNabb looks over Shawn, noticing he has no mud or dirt on his sneakers, no evidence of trekking through the woods, but his stubble shows about two days of growth and he looks to be a bit groggy. No tire tracks are apparent in the ground anywhere around the men and the only footprints near are those of McNabb and Inigo. There is no evidence that Shawn got where he was by conventional means. Shawn looks at McNabb as if he does not know who he is.]

McNABB: Shawn, it's me. McNabb.

SHAWN: McNabb? McNabb! McNabbster. Slap-Happy McNabby. Right! Ah...ahuh.

[Shawn glances at Inigo, without really seeing him.]

SHAWN: Oh, and Lassie. Yeah. I know Lassie. [He smiles at Inigo.]

INIGO: I'm Inigo Montanya, Mr. Spencer. I’m Buzz's friend.

SHAWN: Very fancy. Sure, yeah, whatever you say, Lassie. So what are you doing here anyway?

McNABB: We’re hiking. What are you doing?

SHAWN: Waiting apparently.

INIGO: Waiting for what?

SHAWN: Oh, I don't know. Waiting for the price of gas to go down?

McNABB: Do you know where you are?

SHAWN: Sure! [He looks around and his expression becomes confused.] Suppose you tell me where I am?

[McNabb and Inigo exchange looks.]

INIGO: You are ten miles off the main hiking trail of Point Sal.

SHAWN: [Laughs.] Really? [His eyes start to close.]

McNABB: Yes and we are…[He looks at Shawn, who doesn't appear to be listening] Shawn? Shawn! [Shawn passes out.]



Act 3 – Same Day – SBPD

[Lassiter is beaming as he clears his desk. O’Hara walks over with a case file.]

O’HARA: Here you go. I just need your signature and we can officially close this case.

LASSITER: Gladly. [Lassiter signs the paperwork.] Life is great isn’t it?

[Lassiter slowly stands up from his desk. He looks at the letter again, grabs the rest of the contents and makes his way hastily out of the station.]



ACT 4 – Back in the Woods

[McNabb and Inigo pick up the unconscious Shawn on top of one of their sleeping bags. Inigo does a quick look over.]

INIGO: Well his heart rate is normal and he seems to be breathing normally. [Inigo checks Shawn’s eyes.] His pupils are slightly dilated which could suggest a drug of some sort, but I don’t see any injection sites. And his right leg feels a little swollen. [Inigo slightly bends Shawn’s leg.] It’s a mild twist or a sprain, nothing serious.

McNabb: [McNabb notices Shawn’s overgrown 5 o’clock shadow.] Hmm…I saw him Friday morning. It looks like he hasn’t shaved in a couple of days.

[Shawn begins to stretch as if awaking from a good night sleep. He begins to turn on his side to get more comfortable. Inigo walks over to his bag for a water bottle. As Shawn opens his eyes he is staring right into McNabb’s face.]

SHAWN: WHOA!! [Shawn recoils from McNabb.]

McNABB: Are you okay?

SHAWN: [Shawn slowly sits up] Am I okay? Am I okay? I was having the best Lil’Kim dream ever and I wake up to your face! [Shawn looks around as if he is seeing his surroundings for the very first time.] And I’m in the middle of a forest no less? [Shawn pauses to gather himself. He looks back at McNabb.] Buzz, what’s the gag? Is it “psych out the psychic” day?

McNABB: No but…

SHAWN: How about “creepy ritual cop initiation” day?

McNABB: No we were just…

SHAWN: “Punk’d”! I’m getting punk’d. Wow. [Shawn looks around the area.] ASHTON! Come out here you little son of a…

McNABB: No Shawn!

SHAWN: LASSIE! Lassie did this. I knew it. This is payback for when I placed that Zena blow-up doll with the words man-Scully written across her shirt in the backseat of his squad car.

[Inigo looks over to McNabb but does not say anything.]

McNABB: [To Inigo] Lassiter has an obsession with X-Files and wait. [Turns back to Shawn] No!!! Wait! That was you!?

SHAWN: [Shawn lies.] No. Not really.

[Inigo walks over to Shawn. Shawn jumps when he notices Inigo approaching.]

SHAWN: Oh no. Don’t tell me. This is your version of Deliverance.

INIGO: [Inigo kneels down next to Shawn and gives him the water bottle.] What? No. How did you get here?

SHAWN: [Shawn takes the water bottle.] I have no idea. And who are you may I ask?

INIGO: I’m Buzz’s friend, Inigo. We found you here sitting on this rock over an hour ago.

McNABB: Yeah, and you were not all the way there.

SHAWN: Wait, what do you mean? Was I not all the way there mentally like Stoney in Encino Man or was I not all the way there physically as in phasing into another dimension like Thomas Anderson aka Neo in The Matrix?

INIGO: [Inigo looks quizzically at McNabb.] I think he’s more like the dude in The One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

SHAWN: Oh so you’re saying I’m like Jack Nicholson? I’ll take that as a compliment. [Shawn drinks the water from the bottle.]

McNABB: [McNabb nods at Inigo.] He’s actually sounding like himself.

INIGO: Seriously? That’s scary.

SHAWN: [Shawn rolls his eyes and mumbles.] Well at least I’m not named after a movie character.

INIGO: What?

SHAWN: I didn’t say anything.

INIGO: Okay, “Shaun of the Dead.”

SHAWN: Touché

McNABB: What’s the last thing you remember?

SHAWN: The last thing I remember was being at a killer party. Yes, last night was great. You know Friday night, just got paid, party hopping. Yes, it was all good. It was the first night of my much deserved and eagerly anticipated vacation, which is turning out to be major downer.

INIGO: Well it must have been one sick party because today is Monday.

SHAWN: Say what?

(commercial  )


ACT 5 - John Fenich’s residence

[Lassiter arrives at his former chief’s home. He rings the doorbell and waits. Mrs. Fenich answers the door.]

MRS FENICH: Thank you, Carlton. Thank you for coming. [Mrs. Fenich hugs Lassiter and ushers him into her home. She gives Lassiter another hug. Lassiter looks around for his chief. He turns back to Mrs. Fenich.]

LASSITER: Karen, you sent the package?

MRS. FENICH: Yes. John doesn’t know I sent for you.

LASSITER: But Karen, how did you know about the Fesik case?

MRS. FENICH: John told me everything after we found Lizzie. Please, follow me.

[Mrs. Fenich has Lassiter follow her to one of the guest rooms. Lizzie is lying in the bed resting.]

MRS. FENICH: Lizzie honey, Carlton is here.

[Lizzie opens her eyes and smiles when she sees Lassiter. Lassiter gives Lizzie a kiss on the forehead and sits on the side of the bed. Mrs. Fenich sits at the foot of the bed.]

LASSITER: How are you doing, Lizzie.

LIZZIE: I feel better. The headaches are irritating, but the meds are starting to kick in.

LASSITER: The headaches should only last for a few days. How is your short-term memory? Do you remember what happened?

LIZZIE: Not yet. Dad told me I probably won’t remember for at least two more days.

LASSITER: [He turns towards Mrs. Fenich.] Where is the chief?

MRS. FENICH: I believe he was meeting with the forensic expert that testified in the Fesik case. He should be back this evening.

LASSITER: [Lassiter nods and turns back to Lizzie.] Lizzie, I’ll come back later. Try and get some rest, okay?

LIZZIE: Okay.

[Lassiter and Mrs. Fenich begin to walk out of the room. Lassiter stops abruptly and turns back to Lizzie.]

LASSITER: I know you’ll know more in a couple of days, but what was the very last thing you remember?

LIZZIE: Well, this may sound funny, but I remember this. [Lizzie opens her hand and shows Lassiter a necklace. Since Lizzie is holding onto the item and the thin silver band Lassiter knows there will be no opportunity to find fingerprints. He picks it up and examines it. The clasp has been broken off; there is no sign of blood on it. There is nothing distinct about the necklace. Lassiter hands the necklace back to Lizzie.]

LASSITER: This is not your necklace.

LIZZIE: You’re right, that’s what's so strange.

LASSITER: And you don’t remember who was wearing it or how you got it?

LIZZIE: No. When I woke up in the park, it was in my hand. [Lizzie tightens her hand around the necklace and makes a tight fist. Lassiter walks back over to Lizzie and places his hand on top of her hand.] I just feel like I need to hold on to it.

LASSITER: Okay Lizzie, okay. It’s alright. We’ll talk later. Get some rest.

[Lassiter and Mrs. Fenich leave the room and head towards the living room.]

LASSITER: Karen, I need to see John now.

MRS. FENICH: John is at Bachmann International. It’s off of Oak and Santa Rose Avenue. He is meeting with Mr. Klein Smith.

LASSITER: Right. Call him and tell him I'm on my way. [Lassiter heads for the door. Mrs. Fenich calls her husband to inform her that Lassiter will meet him at Bachmann International.]


ACT 6 - Back in the woods

[Shawn is up and walking around the area with a slight limp trying to remember the last few days. Inigo is working with the satellite phone.]

INIGO: Okay Buzz, our satellite phone was working earlier today. What happened?

McNABB: [Inigo hands McNabb the phone. McNabb examines it.] I don’t know. It’s as if the signal is being blocked.

INIGO: Blocked by what?

McNABB: And why? Why would there be a need to block a signal here? We’re off the trail, there is nothing out here. [McNabb looks over at Shawn.] Well, something has to be out here. Shawn could not have made it here in his condition.

[Shawn is limping around the area trying to recall what happened.]

SHAWN: Okay, so one more time. I was at a party on Friday. Whose party was it? I don’t know. Who attended the party? I have no clue. Did I have a blast? YES! But why can’t I remember anything else? [Shawn stops walking and places his hand to his temple and closes his eyes.] Okay, I see… nothing. I’m assuming the position, and it’s NOT WORKING!!!

McNABB: [McNabb hears Shawn.] We know, Shawn.

SHAWN: [Shawn limps over to McNabb.] You know?

McNABB: Yeah, we know the satellite phone isn’t working.

SHAWN: It’s not?

McNABB: Oh, I thought you were talking about the phone. I saw you do your “psychic thing” over there. Then what is not working?

SHAWN: This! [Shawn puts his hand to his temple.] THIS is not working!

INIGO: [Inigo looks at McNabb.] Is he losing it again?

McNABB: Well he lost it, but not his mind. He lost his senses.

INIGO: Isn’t that the same thing?

SHAWN: [Shawn limps over to Inigo.] No, I lost my senses as in “sensing”, my divining thing, and my mojo. But what I could really use right now is a pineapple mojito.

INIGO: It must be a neurological reaction to a drug.

SHAWN: What drug?

INIGO: Well, I think you may have been drugged at that party.

SHAWN: Oh joy.

INIGO: We need to get you to a hospital. I’m sure it is related to your memory loss and your, ah, lack of psychic abilities. Otherwise you appear okay, all things considered.

SHAWN: Yeah.

McNABB: And due to our satellite phone being on the fritz, and the sun beginning to go down, we’ll need to stay here for the night. Will you be alright Shawn?

SHAWN: I guess. I feel fine other than the minor memory loss, and the sore knee, and these headaches.

INIGO: What headaches? When did that start? [Inigo walks over to his bag and pulls out his mini flashlight. He walks back over to Shawn.]

SHAWN: I don’t know, I guess an hour or two ago. They come and go.

INIGO: Let me see. Look over here. [Shawn looks at Inigo while Inigo quickly shines the light in his eyes.]

SHAWN: AAHHOOWW!! [Shawn closes his eyes and grabs his head. He begins to see images flash in his mind, recoiling with pain as each image comes.]

[First image: A women’s hand. She has a diamond encrusted ring on her right thumb.]

[Second image: A glass filled with red liquid and black pearls on the bottom. The person holding the glass is a man with a tattoo of a snake on his left wrist.]

SHAWN: What are you going to do next, kick my bum knee? Ah!! [Shawn kneels down on the ground. Inigo tries to hold him up. The same images repeat over and over.]

INIGO: Sorry! I wanted to see if your pupils were still dilated. [Inigo motions to McNabb. Buzz grabs Shawn’s other arm and holds him up.]

SHAWN: [Still in obvious pain.] Can you just knock me out instead? [Shawn wavers, beginning to feel light-headed.] Oh wait, I don’t think you have to. [Shawn starts to go limp.]

McNABB: Hey, stay awake Shawn. [Inigo taps Shawn in the face. Shawn’s eyes open.]

SHAWN: What? What!

INIGO: I don’t want you to faint or go to sleep, not for at least a few hours. I am just assuming you were drugged. I cannot prove it. And until we get you to a hospital, I have to treat you like a patient with a head injury.

SHAWN: Great. [Shawn sits on the rock and rubs his head with both hands.] It felt like you stabbed me in the eyes with a huge knife.

INIGO: Sorry. I do wonder why your eyes are photosensitive.

SHAWN: My eyes don’t like having their picture taken?

INIGO: No, your eyes are very sensitive to directly light.

SHAWN: I heard it both ways.

INIGO: Ah Okay.

SHAWN: There is one good thing that came out of that painful exercise.

McNABB: What was that?

SHAWN: I am starting to see things.

INIGO: I hope not dead people. [Inigo looks at McNabb with concern.]

McNABB: Or stars ‘cause that would be bad.

SHAWN: No. It’s more like diamonds and pearls.

(Commercial break)

Thanks, Chica. That's really good too...I keep imagining Inigo with long dark hair and a spanish accent, lol. The last time I saw a version of this, it ended when Shawn passed out the first time, so I was happy to read your additions

Oh, and if you wouldn't mind sending me what you've got to the other story, that would be great!

Cools! Glad you like it! The other story...you mean the Lassie's two smokin' barrell idea? I haven't started that one yet. The "Lassiness" is coming - it's a slow build but it's coming! LOL!

I like the newly weds-ish idea because it would show how much they know about each other semi-subconciously, becasuse they don't think they know anything about each other but then when they get asked a question about the other person that no one thinks they know, they somehow automatically know the answer.

Anybody got any new ideas?

I would like a Mafia Psych eppy:

The Deported

A Santa Barbara Tale

The Lyrical Gangster

Lassitero's Way

The Mob Squad

Or Lassie-centered, kick-butt eppy:

Kill Phil

Predator-ish

Face Off...and Back On Again

Saving Prying Ryan (return of Lyin' Ryan who pried into a murder mystery)


Or scary Psych:

Hallow-scream

The Innocents...Not

The Wickerchair Man

Alternative States




Now I gotta think of a description for these..anyone have any ideas! LOL!

I don't really have a storyline for this one but how about having them go to the theater? You could have someone like an actor, audience member, or crew killed (I'm into theater and there are just so many other positions you could use but these are just some suggestions) and have the characters go undercover in many different positions. Here are my suggestions
1.) Shawn and Gus- Either actors and/or stage managers. By doing this they have access to all areas of the stage at all times
2.) Jules- If you want to expand on the Shules moments, you could have her and Shawn be actors on the stage playing opposite each other as love interests. If not, you could have her be on the publicity side, most likely an usher because they have access to all areas of the house (or as the non-theater people know it as the theater itself, not backstage or anything like that) because her personality just seems right for that role. She's very kind, sweet, approachable...all things and usher needs to be.
3.) Chief- Should definately be a stage manager. They have access to all areas of the stage both during the actual show and during production and since she's a Chief, she could most likely step in and take charge of a group of people while still being approachable which is what makes a good stage manager.
4.) Lassie- It's tough to say but I think he might be best in a stage crew role. I don't think he would be good in a publicity role because of how mean he can be, however if you want some comedic relief, you could put him in a role like that and see what happens.
5.) Henry-I could see him being a number of things. He could be in the audience watching out for the killer (though I think that role might be more suitable for Buzz) or working with Lassie in a stage crew or publicity type role. I think that there could be some comedic moments between those two since Henry doesn't like Lassie all that much.
Another thought that just occurred to me is you could have the them go to a dinner theater that's a muder mystery dinner theater but instead of it being someone who pretends to get murdered, someone actually could get murdered.
What do people think so far? (remember these ideas are still in the works)

I like it very detailed I like the whole oppostie each other love intrest things because Jules would be super awkward about the whole thing while shawn would just be exstatic

Great idea! DramaQueenBroadway! Are you going to write it?

Thanks!!! I think I could write about it but it would take some time. I actually thought of an idea for that episode. What if they did "Romeo and Juliet" as the play and cast Shawn and Jules opposite each other so that they could have their first kiss? It would be a way to expand on the Shules moments. Plus, I could totally see Shawn messing up the Shakespeare in "Romeo and Juliet". This is a show I did (as Lady Montague...Romeo's mother) so I know how hard the Shakespeare would be here. I can see him doing something like he did in "Lights, Camera, Homicido!" where he totally messed up on some of the Spanish!!!

That would be hilarious! It took me to Shakespere in Love not saying that's the storyline but that movie was hilarious.

Another thought I had was they could do a musical and have everyone that was going to be onstage sing at least one song. Does anyone else remember how bad singers Shawn and Gus were in "American Duos?" (not that James or Dulé are bad singers, just their characters were) Can you imagine them doing a whole musical based on what we saw in "American Duos"? I personally like the idea of them doing "Romeo and Juliet" better because of the Shules moments they could do and I would love to see Shawn mess up the Shakespeare!!! And to make things more interesting, if they decide to have the murder happen before the show, have it happen during hell week (aka tech week) so that they have to solve the case and learn the lines at the same time because in community theater, in many cases, there is no such thing as understudies, so they would have to step in literally with only a week to learn the lines!!!

I want an eppy where they are protecting a director and he happens to be filming a music video of (insert artist here) and of course they need to participate.

Now what music video should they make...hmm...
