    Very bizarre episode of Psych tonight. Carlton was actually at the forefront in this installment with Shawn and Gus almost being in the background as supporting characters. I did like the Jaws overtone, and the very predictable ending was actually welcome here with the way the storyline progressed.

    I don't know why they had Jeri Ryan here for such a small role, unless she is recurring on the show. I did find it funny how they mentioned Leverage, a show she was actually on this season, while she was there. This show always gets me with their shots at tv (thementalistspoilers.com lol).

    Funny episode tonight. The show has been very good since its return a few weeks back.moreless

    • In the scene when Shawn and Gus are talking to Shawn's dad and mocking him about the picture with the shark, we can see Lassiter's shadow behind them as he waits to come in.

      Edit
    • In the flashback, Young Shawn is completely terrified by Jaws: The Revenge. Ironically, one of the 2 victims in Jaws: The Revenge was Sean Brody. They have the same name, but they are spelled differently. Edit
    • Psych-out: Maggie sings Olivia Newton-John's "Let's Get Physical" as Timothy dances around her, but this is interrupted by a character motivation discussion. Edit

    • Lassiter: At the end of the day, I do good police work and people respect me for it. Gus: Name two. Shawn: Name one. Edit
    • Gus: You want to go home or you want to go watch your dad hit on that lady doctor for a while? Shawn: I'd rather dip my jewels in honey and go on a bear watch. Edit
    • Henry: (on the phone) Hello? Shawn: Hey dad. Help me out here. I need that number for that doctor lady. Henry: Shawn, what are you doing? Shawn: Nothing. Henry: Shawn. Shawn: Okay, fine. It rhymes with "fark punting". Edit

    • Jaws Shawn tries to get everyone's attention by scraping his nails like Quint did with the blackboard in Jaws, but it doesn't work on the whiteboard so he ends up imitating the sound instead. Shawn then goes to the podium and says "Y'all know me" just as Quint did, but here someone shouts out "No we don't." Edit
    • Title The title is a spoof on one of Quint's lines from the 1975 film "Jaws." Edit
