chicafrom3This episode is kind of breaking the hell out of me. It's breaking Shawn and it's breaking Gus and it's breaking me.
And there are little squeeful moments in it, like the callbacks to "Weekend Warriors" and significant Karen&Henry interaction and Shawn really laying the one-liners on thick and the Return Of Shawn's Mom who I like quite a lot. And none of that is stopping it from breaking me.
ETA: Post-episode thoughts. I...I don't know how I feel about this episode. I'm unlikely to watch it again because, seriously, broken here. There were some wonderful, light-hearted moments, the tension was really well done, I'm going to come out and say it was definitely one of if not the best episodes Psych has done to date.
I do think the last ten minutes were kind of...out of place? Because when they took the crazy chick off to jail and there were still ten-plus minutes left in the episode, I was expecting a twist of some sort. Especially with the heavy-foreshadowing Yang did about Shawn's date. And then instead we get...Shawn/Juliet and Shawn/Allison and Shawn/Gus cuteness? It was cute, don't get me wrong, it just felt really out of place and weird and not organic at all.
Like I said. I don't know how I feel about this episode, and it ripped me up too much for me to say that I'll be watching it again in the immediate future.
