This week Gus is reflecting on his boring life when a man just like himself appears to commit suicide without any good reason. While it looks like a suicide, the guys just can’t shake the feeling that it is indeed a homicide. Gus is determined to prove the case is hinky, especially since the victim, John Russell, is virtually the same guy as him. He takes the case especially personally and sees himself in the death of the drone worker. Shawn and Gus’ questioning at John’s workplace is particularly funny with the guys doing their best to extract any pertinent information. Shawn is upset since Henry gave him a comeuppance at the beginning of the episode explaining that Jules, Gus, and himself cover his monthly nut. Sinking in, Shawn is determined to try to get any job he can by episode’s end. Can you picture Shawn as a male nanny?!? While it does not rank with the Psych classics, “Cog Blocked” was a decent enough episode that begins the shows final run to syndicated glory. I guess it is too much to ask to have episodes like we had back in the day when the show was still catching on with the geeky niche audience. The good news is that in a twist, Gus is finally out of work and after eight years he can take a break, breathe, and have a drink. The home stretch is bittersweet but I would rather them close up shop than not break any new ground as a series. Die hard fans like myself can hope for a glorious final five episodes worthy of the pineapple. We deserve it. Oh and spoiler alert—we finally see the death of the Blueberry. She was a tough old gal but it looks like the guys have to find some new wheels. Maybe something with a little more pickup or an official pineapple-mobile with smoothie maker.
