Episode Summaries

I am mostly satisfied with the episode descriptions for the first two episodes of this season. I based my summary of the third episode on the description of the episode it was remaking. Post here to let me know what you think. I wouldn't mind if it was edited, as I am never sure what makes a good summary for WP purposes. Thanks in advance. --Jgstokes (talk) 05:37, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think I improved it. Any more improvements welcome by anyone. Tsweeney34 (talk) 06:26, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO, I think we need to expand the episode summaries and include more plot details. The most recent summary leaves out the very important details that Lassiter does become the new Chief, that he had to let Juliet go to qualify for this office, and that Juliet did accept Chief Vick's offer. Such details are relevant to the future of Psych and should be included. I'm just not sure how. --Jgstokes (talk) 01:08, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I attempted to write a summary for yesterday's episode of Psych. Hopefully it turned out all right. I would welcome any corrections, as long as the relevant plot details (especially Henry selling the house and Marlowe giving birth in the back of their food truck) are preserved. Thoughts? --Jgstokes (talk) 07:09, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just wrote a summary of the episode of Psych that aired tonight. Admittedly, it's not my best work. So I would welcome any alterations anybody wants to do. That being said, I am perfectly satisfied with the episode summaries of previous episodes so far this season. It'll be interesting to see what they do for the finale next week. Thoughts?--Jgstokes (talk) 02:52, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone Who Could Use a Few Bucks

According to this link, the next episode of Psych is one that is not on the list. It will be called Anyone Who Could Use a Few Bucks and is about Gus taking the lead on an investigation. I will scan this page for more news about this upcoming episode and post what I find. Just thought I should post this here so everyone knows. Thanks. --Jgstokes (talk) 04:10, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'm really confused. The trailer for the next episode is featured twice on the page cited above. Both have the notation that "The following preview has been approved for 'Anyone Who Could Use a Few Bucks' by the Pineapple Association of Santa Barbara. Rated 'L' as in 'Leach, and don't be one.' Cog blocked." Above one listing was posted "Psych - 'Cog Blocked,' Rated L." Above the other was simply "Psych official trailer." The TV Guide lists it as "Cog Blocked." So I don't know what the official title will be. Thoughts? --Jgstokes (talk) 04:26, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Had another look at the Psych FB page and I get it now. I had forgotten that most previews say, "The Following Preview Has Been Approved for All Audiences." So when it says the following preview has been approved for anyone who could use a few bucks, that refers not to the title but to the target audience. So the episode really will be called "Cog Blocked." Sorry for any confusion my confusion may have caused. --Jgstokes (talk) 04:34, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sage Brocklebank as Buzz McNab

I see that Sage Brocklebank is listed as appearing again in this season, but I haven't seen any sign of his character, Officer Buzz McNab. Was he in any episodes and I missed it? Any clarification on this point would be appreciated. Thanks. --Jgstokes (talk) 03:29, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The character page for Buzz McNab says he was rehired in episode 7 of season 8. But I don't recall seeing him or hearing of his rehiring in that episode. I just want to verify that this information is correct. Is it? Thanks. --Jgstokes (talk) 02:45, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The consultant mentioned during the last episode is indeed Adrian Monk: Proof positive from Steve Franks.

According to this article, the consultant referred to in the series finale is supposed to be Adrian Monk. I quote the relevant part of the article:

"E! Online: So was that a deliberate Monk reference at the end there?

"Steve Franks: Oh, yes. The funny thing is, we owe such a debt of gratitude to Andy Breckman, who created Monk, and Monk as a show for sort of being the sort of comfortable hammock that sort of launched us. Andy Breckman especially was the first – the first day we got the pilot picked up, he called me and gave me like fifteen pieces of advice which are the best advice I've ever gotten in this business. So many things that I learned that came into play throughout this process were things that Andy had helped me so kindly and without even being solicited, he gave me such great advice. So for us to send our show off into the ether where eight years is the same amount of years that Monk was on, it felt like a nice way to say that somewhere, these two worlds collided."

There we have it. Proof positive from the show's creator that Monk was indeed the consultant referred to in the finale. Consequently, I will be readding this information to the episode description and citing this reference as a source. Please post here before reverting. Thanks. --Jgstokes (talk) 06:26, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
