PSYCH: "You Can't Handle This Episode"

Original Air Date

January 27, 2010

Description

Shawn tangles with the Army when he claims that a Private's suicide was actually murder, and suspects Juliet's former military/current mercenary brother is involved.

Notes

(D) This was a relatively poor episode. Nothing worked particularly well. It was a bad story to mark the show's return to the airwaves after a long hiatus. I blame a lot of it on guest star John Cena, who proved that he is a terrible actor.

They also handled Abigail's departure rather oddly. They really haven't given her much to do in the show anyways, but they could have given her more screen time if she is not going to be on the show anymore or at least for a while.

The tension between O'Hara and Spencer is turning ugly. This is disappointing. Even though O'Hara had her heart broken it would be more enjoyable if it was more awkward tension instead of mean tension.

Psych seems prone to bad episodes every once and a while. I almost thought that the show had jumped the shark in the season premiere this year, but it was just a momentary lull. Hopefully, this instance is the same.
