The final murder is more or less just a way to get the story going and is really present just to have the gang on their last hurrah as detectives. The story surrounds a real estate developer who just happens to be played by the oft-mentioned Billy Zane. The vet actor chews the scenery as the evil developer and it all ends in an excellent car chase with Shawn and Gus getting away in a driver’s ed car. I was hysterical at the dynamic duo speeding with two steering wheels and two sets of brakes—classic. Really the episode is about Shawn trying to figure out just how to tell Gus that he is leaving Psych to move up to San Francisco to live with Juliet. Shawn sets up the scenes by breaking the fourth wall and talking to the camera letting us know just what he is feeling and how scared he is of losing his best friend. It was actually pretty moving for those die hard faithful Psych-O’s. Psych is that rare show that comes along that could teeter the line between laughs and a whodunnit heart. It is hard for me to think of a better tandem from the past decade and I don’t think there will be anything like them again. And that is really saying something considering how few basic cable shows ever get out of the gate and into syndication. It’s the little things that made the show what it became, which was nothing short of a phenomenon for USA. Sadly the time has passed for one of my favorite shows of the new millennium. The cast and creator did a live after show and it really spoke to how loyal the fans are with their live Tweets and Skype messages. What surprised me the most was how young some of the viewers skewed but their love of the show cannot be denied. It’s nice to see that Psych will be around for a whole other generation on DVD and on cable. It sucks but like most good things they come to an end. The catchphrases will live on as will the memorable characters that Steve Franks created. We will never look at a pineapple the same way. Goodbye Psych, you will be missed.
