Psych: Difference between revisions

Line 193:

* [[Criminal Mind Games]]: The Yin-Yang Killer, in the episode "An Evening with Mr. Yang."

** {{spoiler|And then again in the season 4 finale when Mr. Yin, Yang's partner, comes to screw with Shawn.}}

* [[Crossover]]: Unfortunately averted. [[Word of God]] says that if ''Psych'' hadn't made ''[[Leverage]]'' a fictional show within ''Psych'''s universe (see [[Celebrity Paradox]] above), ''Leverage'''s Eliot would have had an uncle named Henry. The favor was returned in ''Leverage'', however, as Hardison mentions that Nate has ''Psych'' in his Netflix queue.

** Being a USA original series, though, it's seen several crossovers in commercials. For instance, Shawn and [[The Dead Zone|Johnny Smith]] in a diner arguing over who has it harder (fake psychic due to psychologically abusive upbringing vs. real precog due to coma) before seeing [[Monk|Adrian Monk]] counting and arranging the corn on his plate and agreeing they've got nothing on him.

** Done for another promotional commercial in which Gus has his wallet stolen by [[White Collar|Neal Caffrey]] while chatting with both he and [[White Collar|Peter Burke]]

Line 563:

* [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?]]: Desperaux. Shawn says this, word for word, after Desperaux escapes via grappling hook.

* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: Done with at least two episodes: "Dual Spires", which is an homage to ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', and "Last Night Gus" which was inspired by ''[[The Hangover]]''.

* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Depending on whom you ask, the episode "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark" came about either because an executive asked why the gun-carrying bad guys never shot Shawn, or because executive producer Kelly Kulchak is a fan of [[Hurt/Comfort Fic~~|Hurt/Comfort fic~~]].

* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Depending on whom you ask, the episode "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark" came about either because an executive asked why the gun-carrying bad guys never shot Shawn, or because executive producer Kelly Kulchak is a fan of [[Hurt/Comfort Fic]].

* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: Really closer to [[Paper-Thin Disguise]], Shawn and Gus tend to run into closets and come out wearing something appropriate to the situation they're about to enter, but their unfamiliarity with the fine details of the situation they're entering usually ends up with people looking crosswise at them.

* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Shawn and O'Hara. {{spoiler|Semi-resolved, in the [[Bittersweet Ending]] of Season 3, when O'Hara finally kisses Shawn... while he's on a date with another woman. And then there's the summer finale of season five... while she's in a relationship with Declan.}}

** {{spoiler|They're in a relationship by "Extradition: Part II".}}

** James Roday actually calls it this in this interview. https://web.archive.org/web/20130512040641/http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/games/countdowncalendar/17.html

* [[Wish Fulfillment]]: Shawn (and sometimes others as well) will tend to end up acting out various fantasy jobs; he gotten to play football player, male model, telenovela actor, cowboy etc...
