Honestly, this is one of my favorite episodes - even though Psych is some of the best absurdist comedy I've ever seen, they could do serious plots *very* well and those are some of my favorite episodes of the show. I just wish Roday and the rest of the Psych team had felt more comfortable exploring serious stuff, because they handled it better than most procedural cop shows. Hearing Shawn's perspective on his parents' divorce and then hearing his mom's point of view and reasoning makes Henry's entrance into the station feel like a punch to the gut. Because we see him in a way we haven't really seen him before: as the loving father who stayed. Granted, Henry favors tough love more often than not, but Shawn is a handful lol

The chap at the beginning playing Gus' first boss played the vampire/shape shifter in Supernatural black and white episode, he's also in the 12 Monkeys series. The lady that plays Shaun's mum was in a really famous series called Moonlighting in the 80s with Bruce Willis

I know this is a weird superlative, but Season 3 has my favorite first two and favorite last two episodes of any season in this series, and they are all wildly different in tone. I love this one because of how real and how challenging the dynamic between Shawn and his parents is allowed to get. Cybill Shepherd brings the exact right presence that this show needed to tell this story, and it’s kind of heartbreaking to see how much of the soured relationship Shawn had with Henry for so long was based on his misunderstanding, and even more so with the reveal that Henry essentially let Shawn hate him so that he wouldn’t hate his mother. Anywho, next week is an all-timer for me. Maybe brush up on your John Hughes.
