Psych/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* Shawn's been shot, but he pulls off two awesome moments in the episode while off. First, he remembers what he was taught what you should do if you are trapped in a trunk, and pulls it off despite being visibly disorientated. Then he goes in to pull off a shot to disable the car chasing him, while still shot, and is lying on the hood of a moving car.

** Also earns us this gem of a line, which coming from Lassiter is awesome in and of itself:

* Tied to a chair, in a completely serious tone, "You kill him, I kill you."

* The police have three suspects restrained around an inactive bomb one of them designed. Shawn tries to find who designed the bomb by ''activating it on a sixty-second clock'', with two police officers restraining three suspects within a meter of it.

* Gus is not the kind of guy you'd expect to have a CMoA; usually the nerdy [[Straight Man]], he exists mainly as [[Butt Monkey|a long-suffering foil]] to the antics of his much cooler friend Shawn. Then, one of of their cases takes Gus and Shawn to a comic book convention where Gus meets a few people he pretends not to know, Shawn makes a few too many snide comments and Gus delivers a rant that not only even impresses Shawn, but will resonate with anyone who's had to put up with one too many people making fun of their interests:

'''Shawn''': ''[Stunned speechless]'' ... Snap. }}

* The unexpected moment in "Earth, Wind, and... Wait for it" where Gus and Shaun are suddenly thrown for a loop when the arsonist they're talking down sets a dangerous fire. Gus ''immediately'' takes charge, orders Shaun to carry out the unconscious Woman of the Week and ''dives for the arsonist, who'd just set themself on fire'', saving them, and carrying him out in a rolled carpet (or something resembling it, at least).

** {{spoiler|1=That was actually the second time in the series Shawn fires a gun. The first is in the pilot, with the only witness being Lassiter's partner, who is replaced by Juliet in the second episode of the series. This scene establishes that Shawn is a crack shot as he fires through the bullet holes previously made by Lassie's old partner at the gun range. Which makes it a CMoA in itself and grants another one for setting up a bit and waiting 4 years for the payoff.}}

* From "Mister Yin Presents", Lassiter gets one.

** Shawn also gets one when he steps up and does the responsible thing; "It's Jules; we know where she is, we follow Lassie, we save Juliette." Then he figures out the clue and saves Abigail.

** And then his words to Gus as he sets out to save Abigail alone: "The only way I can't be there for Jules is if I know YOU are."

* Gus gets an offsceen one in "Tuesday The 17th." Shawn and Juliet are tracking down a killer, who has ambushed Gus and some other victims while they were off looking. After finding out, Shawn spots Gus being attacked by the killer (who is wielding a knife) alone and immediately rushes in to rescue him. After running always to the scene he desperately runs to what he thinks Gus' collapsed body, only to find out it's the killer - Gus had already beaten him up off screen, without a scratch on him. Of course, then the killer wakes up, and it's him vs Shawn instead.

* Lassiter winning an Old West style quick draw duel in "High Noon-ish" is pretty awesome. Doubles as a CMOF when the people (who think it's part of a show) start booing him.

* Gus and Lassiter's rescue of Juliet in "Mr. Yin Presents." Gus grabbing the hand of the clock, and Lassiter jamming the gears.

* "If Shawn really has been shot, there's no room I'm not gonna bust open to find my son."
