Introduction to 'Psych 6101'
00:00:20
Speaker
All right. Hi, everyone. And welcome to Psych 6101, where we discuss everything about the world of Psych and the antics of Shawn and Gus in sunny Santa Barbara. I'm Skylar, and this is my partner, Gary
Focus on Season 2, Episode 8: 'Rob-a-bye Baby'
00:00:31
Speaker
Mills. And today we're going to be talking about season two, episode eight of the famed TV show, Psych. Hello. Hello. Alrighty, episode eight. Rob-a-bye baby. Rob-a-bye baby. Fun name. Yeah, very fun. Like the,
00:00:50
Speaker
the what What would you even call that? Lullaby. Lullaby. Thank you. It's like Carol. That's not right. ah fate girlol a can turn Carol. Yes, the classic sleeping Carol.
Humor in Henry's Storytelling
00:01:05
Speaker
It's based on the classic childhood lullaby, Rockabye baby. Except here we have robberies and babies.
00:01:15
Speaker
has named My first note is babies babies because the flashback the way it like oh my gosh very funny flashback but also just the way it relates to like the episode is funny yeah because it's just it's babies babies well and it's so funny too because the flashback starts very serious like it feels as if Henry's like recounting a case Yeah. And there's hydraulic lifts and it's all... Yeah, that's what I was thinking that he was like, talking about work. Yeah, same. And then, what does this have anything to do with how babies are made? Said Sean, I'm like, oh. Yeah, that's how babies are made. Very good. It's so funny. Like, I think it's really well done because what all of what Henry's saying, like, you would just never make that leap. Never, yeah. That's why it works so well. Yes, yes. And it's so funny too, because
00:02:12
Speaker
Henry talks about some crazy stuff with Sean. I mean, he talks about murder. He talks about like gore, all of this stuff and seems to have no issue with it. And then babies. That is a great point. Makes him really uncomfortable. Yeah.
Parenting Roles and Family Dynamics in 'Psych'
00:02:31
Speaker
And he's like afraid to the way Sean's like, I'm going to ask mom. And Henry's like, no, no, no. And it seems like he's like afraid to for Sean's mom to find out that he failed at this. That's the vibe I got. And then and then it's like it's like he thinks about it and he just really can't do it. And he's like, just tuck your shirt before you just talk to her. So funny. Yeah, it's like so hard for him. Yeah.
00:02:58
Speaker
And I don't, I mean that's probably, that probably comes back to just American culture. Like it's, you know, we don't really talk about sex. iitanical Yeah, very. So I'm sure it has more to do with that than anything else. But it's so like, it's also so funny seeing the juxtaposition of Henry being like so like nervous, anxious, and then Shawn just very matter of fact, like,
00:03:23
Speaker
so that's how babies are made? Like, I'm gonna go ask mom. Like, it's just so like, I want to know. Like, yeah, help me I know. This is one of those where I would love to know what's happening on either side of it. You know, like, how did this conversation come up? Yes. How does the conversation with mom go? Yeah, it's fun. Well, and that's Yeah, it's a good point because we've talked a lot about how things are very Henry centered, but it almost feels like from the parent perspective, it's Henry, Henry centered by necessity, right? Because it seems like he's the active parent. But here, he has this conversation with mom. Why don't we see mom? Yeah, I mean, it's kind of one of those things like, are we talking about one of our recent episode of character you never see?
00:04:16
Speaker
Oh, yes. Dobson. Dobson. Oh, duh. She's kind of a Dobson in the flashbacks. like you just like She's ah around in theory, yeah but you never see her. But yeah, we also don't see her referenced much, but in this one, it's like, okay, she is in the house with them. Yes. yeah like She's upstairs. yeah how her like sure and so we Yeah. That is kind of fun to know. I mean i think this is a really fascinating episode.
00:04:43
Speaker
for a lot of the Henry stuff, a lot of the Sean stuff, just like because you really see like how pretty much every character thinks about childcare and like yeah family roles and like all of these things. and It's really interesting how how that all comes about. and like I don't know. i was we'll We'll get into more later. but like It's fun seeing like, like Henry like has like values nannies in a way that maybe you wouldn't expect. Yeah. But, but also like knowing that he, as we have read the flashbacks to suggest is like kind of the primary, like it makes sense that he would be like, no, it's hard. Yeah. Um, and then also that Sean would not seem to value it as interesting because it's like, he holds so much against his dad and like, yes, his dad is.
00:05:34
Speaker
the one who was around and like, maybe. right and Yeah, I don't know. There's a lot to discuss there. Yeah, stuff absolutely. And I think that kind of ties into the the start of the case or I found it very interesting, this kind of start of of the case here where it seems as if they have this really big, important case that Vic wants to put them on. They come into the office, they're like trying to figure out what it might be, you know, ah blim or a or whatever hot air balloon or whatever is going on in their brain. And then they get into the office and Vic wants to hire them to find her a nanny and Shawn immediately like
00:06:18
Speaker
is deflated, which is so interesting because just last week we were talking about how there seems to be like no small cases. Yes. I wrote the exact same thing. I was like, wow, i stupid. but no But no, no, no, no. Yeah. No, but I had that moment of like, wow, like what? We were just talking about that. Yes. But I wonder if it goes back to what you're saying. Like he doesn't see the same value in the nannies as he does other things.
00:06:48
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I think it's really, I do think, and bringing up how much he builds it up, I feel like is important. Because like yeah like you're saying, like it comes directly from Vic. It's top secret. They are invited. like They can't tell anybody. And he's just like so excited to find out what top secret mission they have. And then and so like I think that like the drop from that is part of maybe what makes it makes him so against it. yeah And then also like the FOMO of this like other case that's going on. And um also like she makes it very clear they're not all allowed to work anything else. Which is not like a rule they usually adhere to. at all yeah As they ah show on their faces when she tells them that. We're so like confused. Are you sure?
00:07:38
Speaker
So all of that I feel like plays into it. And then also I think it's just like, it's a really fun example of, we talk a lot about how like these characters are very much people. i feel Like, this is a great example of that. It was like, we can believe something and also like completely contradict it. Yeah. You know, like, it's so human. Yeah. For him to be like, very invested in these small like,
00:08:03
Speaker
seemingly meaningless to other people of cases. And then at the same time be handed one and be like, this isn't the one I wanted. You know, I wonder, I wonder if maybe part of the problem here is that it isn't really a case. That's true. Yeah. You know, like it's, it's just a task.
00:08:27
Speaker
that you know what yeah i Even in the case from last week, It seemed like it wasn't something to be taken seriously, but it was still, we think someone is going to kill someone on this particular day. So he had something to solve. Yeah. Or even like the cheating people, we think maybe they're cheating, are they? Right. Follow them, figure out, are they cheating? Here it's just fine and in. It's kind of a matter of perspective because there could be detective work as part of this. Yeah. I mean, he uses his skill all the time. Yeah. Yeah. i mean he
00:09:02
Speaker
you know Gus gets a couple of prospective nannies and and pretty quickly, Sean's like, nope, nope, nope. and This one for this reason, this one for this reason, that one for that reason. So he is using those skills. It's just, yeah, maybe not as exciting to him or yeah not as thought provoking maybe. The stakes don't feel high.
Chief Vic's Nanny Crisis
00:09:23
Speaker
Yeah. Which is funny because like as we go through the episode, it becomes apparent, more and more apparent how high the stakes are because Vic is like falling apart at the seams. Oh my gosh. And what an amazing performance. Yeah. for the it So, so amazing. She was so good. So, so good in this. There were a couple of instances where I was like, Oh, like when she's almost snarling across the desk at Sean, like fires him. I was like, Oh, so good. Wow. It's so good. Yeah. I love the moment since we were just talking about her. Yes.
00:10:02
Speaker
And she just really quickly is like, can you tell me who the murderer is? Unless you could tell me who the murderer is in under 10 seconds. I don't care. 10, 9, 1. It's so funny. Yeah, it's so, it's so good. And you could tell like very much so is like it sleep deprived, desperate. Absolutely. I just need you to do what I'm asking you. Stop it. I'm not in the mood for your antics. Okay.
00:10:30
Speaker
and ah she plays very, very well. Yeah, very well. So yeah, so we're we're trying to find Vic and Annie whilst there is a string of burglaries in the Heights that we are also trying to solve, but at the police department, Shawn and Gus have not been made privy to this case at all. Yeah, actively told not to work this case. Yes, in fact, multiple times by Vic.
00:10:57
Speaker
And I love when one of the quips that Sean makes to to guess, dude, and this blows with a capital Z.
00:11:06
Speaker
yeah it does float Again, even though Sean's not really taking it seriously, I guess the the moments that he's invested in it with Gus, he is really thinking about it. like Gus says, okay, we got to start doing interviews. We got to start like looking online, figuring out what's going on. And Sean's like, well, no, we've got to find the right nanny and so steal her for Vic, because all the good nannies are already important. Yeah. Like, what? Logic. Yeah. I mean, fair. and Does this kind of make sense?
00:11:37
Speaker
So they decide in order to steal the nanny, they're gonna go to the park, which this whole scene, oh my gosh. I just, you know, the two of them are so smart. And this comes back to the whole, like some of the smartest people I know are also some of the dumbest people I know. Yes, absolutely. How did they not go to strange single men without children at a park? At least Sean puts on like he died like, he does a pretty good job pretending that he is supposed to be there. And then Gus, yeah, incapable of not being creepy.
00:12:14
Speaker
I feel like Gus's problem is that is he struggles with like being normal around women. Yeah, it's true. Okay, true. And so as soon as there's like a young ah hot woman there, he's like, He's flirting while also asking nanny questions, which the combination is incredibly unsettling. No bad. So, so bad. Like when he leans over and asks that little boy who your nanny is, he's too busy, wouldn't even notice if you ran away, right? I mean, he says it in like the worst possible way. Oh my God.
00:12:56
Speaker
Like, yeah, so disturbing. So, so disturbing. Yeah, at least Sean, you know, pretends like two of the kids are his. Yeah, and I think they buy it. The nannies he's talking to aren't questioning it, really. Yeah, they don't seem to, which that even that, I mean, Sean says at the end, neither one of them is particularly yeah good. Yeah, I did love those performances, though. oh I will say those names were great. Yeah, they were great.
00:13:25
Speaker
So, so good. Like really just felt like two people. Yeah, absolutely. Super grounded. yeah Yeah, I don't know. I just, I loved them. They were, they were fantastic. And from them, we kind of get the fact that there's all this crime going on in this area.
00:13:44
Speaker
and that it seems like the nannies have either been very nearby or like somehow involved or have seen kind of what's been going on because one of the nannies is is worried about it.
00:13:59
Speaker
and Yeah. Cause there's these robberies happening in broad daylight. Right. Broad daylight, no one home. And that's unsettling. Especially if you're working with kids, I think that's also particularly unsettling. Cause you know, if it's just you, like you can kind of handle yourself, but if there's a child involved, like now you got to be extra aware of them, make sure they don't get hurt. Right. Like that's, I would be unsettled as well. Absolutely. Yeah. It's happened what they've had three.
00:14:29
Speaker
So far. Yeah. So that's, I mean, and that's a lot too in the same neighborhood. Yeah. Like, what did they say? Like a week or two? Like it wasn't really a long period of time either. Yeah. And then assuming like all these nannies know each other because they're sort of coworkers through this agency. And so like they must be talking, they're all their neighbors, you know, yeah like they know it's each other's neighbors. Right. Yeah. Super creepy. Yeah. No way. Would not like that.
00:14:57
Speaker
Oh, some other really great ones great lines from Gus is ah when she's like, oh, do you have a kid here? And he goes, no, kids, just me. Just does not hear himself at all. Nope, not at all. Poor girl.
00:15:14
Speaker
The poor woman, and she's like nanny who her face journey is <unk> also very good. A prime. Yeah, so good. She's just like watching him. like She does not know what to do with him. Yeah. She's like, you're really, wow. And then I love, when Gus goes back to Sean, he's like, none of these nannies or these kids will talk to me. Is there something wrong with me? Do I smell? And he goes, no, you smell like you always do, jerk chicken in a new car smell.
00:15:44
Speaker
Oh my God. But that track's for Gus. The blueberry, I totally could see the blueberry constantly smelling like a new car. He probably has like a... Yeah. Also, we've never... I don't know, do we ever see like an air freshener in there? I don't know. Maybe even an air freshener. Yeah. And your chicken, because obviously. Sure. He always got that going on too. One of the nannies when she's yelling at her kid, gets your foot out of that dog.
00:16:16
Speaker
but It's such a great throw away in Sean. What? and what
00:16:24
Speaker
I mean, that that really ties really nicely into what Henry says at the end. They're like, kids are heathens. Yeah. They are crazy. They will do whatever if you don't manage them well. So Sean and Gus are creeping it up at the park.
Comedic Misadventures at the Park
00:16:41
Speaker
and or guess I do think after talking to the women in an undercover kind of way, Sean then just starts lurking in the bushes.
00:16:49
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. That is one of my favorite lines in this whole episode. Buzz comes, so they're like talking about how this neighborhood is rife with crime and Buzz comes and he's like, hey, I got a, I got a report of there being some creepy guys in the park. And, you know, Gus was like, no, we've been here the whole time. And Sean's like, yeah, we've just been here hanging out in the bushes. They're like, oh.
00:17:08
Speaker
Yeah, dot, dot, dot. Got it. Oh, boy.
00:17:14
Speaker
So funny. I also love, it might be right before that, but Gus, every time he says something dramatic, takes his sunglasses off. Oh my gosh, yeah. It's like, did you really just do that? And then did you? And then he does it again. Gus just always wants to be cool. He does. Gus wants the cool line. I mean, I get it. You know, they watch a lot of movies, they are solving crime, like they want to be into crime. Absolutely. Who wouldn't? Um, I also love when, when McNabb is talking to them and he's like, he's so apologetic to do this to them. Oh, yeah. Oh, of course. And I love Sean and Gus like totally being like one mind with that Jackie Earl Haley. Oh my gosh. Yeah. You're going to have a Jackie Earl Haley moment. You want to be bad news bears, not whatever. And Gus like, or whatever. Sean's like,
00:18:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's so, yeah. They're just so quick and that like Guz is not even paying attention, but he's like in the bit. I just love their shorthand. Yes. It's so good. And like we've always say, just feel so lived in. Like they just, they know each other so well. It's not even something they really have to think about. And then Buzz is bringing them to the car because like, hey, we got to get you, got to get you out of the park. I can drive you somewhere if you want.
00:18:35
Speaker
Buzz just feels so bad, you can tell. And Buzz gets the notification notification, the call on the radio, that there's been another burglary and Sean's like, there, we have to go there. Because Chief Vic told us while we were at the park to look at any new burglaries in the area. And Sean wants to sit in the front because like, why do you always get to sit in the front? Sean's like, I called shotgun. No, you didn't. Shotgun.
00:19:01
Speaker
And then we see them get to the crime scene and they are both sitting in the front. Oh my god, I missed that, I think. They were smooshed. Smooshed in the front seat. I was like, i can miss detail I can just imagine Buzz being like, you know, I i don't know why you're doing it, but sure. Poor Buzz. He's just a big, little, little pushover.
00:19:26
Speaker
He's such a sweetie. He tries. And they get to they get to the crime scene because it was a burglary, but now we've also realized is a murder. Someone has been killed in the process. And this was really interesting too, because although usually the murder is like the centerpiece of the episode, this was really kind of like a throwaway. I mean, we were there for like two seconds. Yeah, that's true. Read the scene really quick. Like they're literally just talking to each other, walking through what happened and then move on to the next thing. Not a big deal. Yeah, you're right. I'm trying to think like if it mattered really, but I can't think of anything
00:20:05
Speaker
Because sometimes like, I think we've talked before about like trying to figure out if Lassie and Jules are like homicide specific detectives, but I don't really think they are because they work. Yeah. They just work big cases, I guess. Yeah. And so it's not like, oh, a murder need to happen for it to go to them. Right. Yeah. There doesn't really seem to be a reason. It's just like an escalation of of what's been going on, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It didn't even seem like.
00:20:35
Speaker
I don't know. Like clearly someone died. Clearly that was, you know, important and that's ah a big deal, but Shawn and Gus kind of walked in like, it was no problem. They looked around and they didn't have like gloves on or but booties on or anything. They went upstairs. Yeah. Gus even has to like remind him, cause Shawn's like saying like, so they did this and this and this and this and Gus is like, and they killed the guy. And someone died. Yeah. Oh yeah. With this one.
00:21:02
Speaker
I also love when he sees the lamp on the ground with the blood stain and he's like, this must be what killed him. And she's like, good, I guess. Good, I guess.
00:21:13
Speaker
Yeah, so good. And and I thought it was fun too, because we've we've talked a couple of times in the past about like the masterclass that Sean sometimes gives in you the crime scene. And here we see that, but now we see like both of them doing it at the same time, which was kind of cool.
00:21:30
Speaker
and Then, so it's like, okay, yeah, they, they came in, they weren't feeling well. They took off their shoes. They walked upstairs. They saw the person taking stuff because they came home early because they weren't feeling good. And then they didn't realize that the person was going to come home early. So they whacked him on the head with the lamp and finished stealing everything. Like it was very like matter of fact from both of them, which was kind of fun. Hearing you frame it up so nicely. I, I'm thinking maybe.
00:22:02
Speaker
Maybe it also shows just how like premeditated it is, the way the robber would not have expected the person to come home because they've been watching. So maybe that's part of it, part of why and they need that escalation in terms of story. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, and it yeah it it situates us a little bit better in this idea that yeah they have been watching. They like know the routines. This was calculated. it wasn't yeah Yeah, they've got the codes, they've got like everything everything worked out, but then this variable of the person coming home is unexpected and they get so spooked they have to kill. Yeah. And I wonder who did the killing? Like who actually does question the robbery aspect of this? That's interesting that you say that. I kind of felt, I don't know if we want to reveal who it is.
00:23:00
Speaker
Well, okay. There's a duo behind it and I felt like it was all puffer fish, but copish but I don't know. I could see it being puffer fish. I don't know why I kind of thought it was like the two of them together, hu like the other one.
00:23:24
Speaker
taking this stuff. But I guess that wouldn't really make sense, would it? Because the other one has to work. Like it's very much to the face of the business. So maybe it is just pufferfish. I mean, that makes sense. I feel like the other one could be like the mastermind. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Because pufferfish definitely comes across as a little like a little bumbling, but just a little. Yeah, for sure, which I could also see puffer fish.
00:23:56
Speaker
being like, ah, yeah, hit you with a lamp. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, I think we're gonna let's I say we, we sit on that. The mastermind was the master mind. Sounds like a comic book. Oh, wait, that's the title of this episode. Oh, I love it. And the mastermind was probably so annoyed with pucker fish after the murder. Oh my gosh, absolutely.
00:24:28
Speaker
I would be too. I mean, not that I would put myself in this situation, but. But if you were the mastermind. Yeah, exactly. I've hit also the way they have the kind of command post in the office. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe the mastermind just sits and watches the buffer do do the thing. That would make sense. Yeah. ah Like a little micromanagy. I could also see that from the mastermind.
00:24:58
Speaker
Okay. This is the most cryptic we've ever met. I love it. and This is a real mystery.
Shawn and Gus at the Crime Scene
00:25:05
Speaker
It is. Well then, so the boys like like figured out what happened and then Vic and Lassie and Jules are coming in and of course they see them so we must crouch. Yeah, the shuffle. The shuffle. It's like a truly crab walk. Yes, well I love it. Do you think this was a throwaway line or do you think this was actually written?
00:25:25
Speaker
I think walking like this makes everything more exciting. That's a great question. I can see that being an improvisation. Yeah, they like crab it out of the room. I could just totally see James or De Rodriguez being like, this is for Paltres. Yeah. Well, yeah, it kind of reminds me of like in American duos when they go up against the wall. It's like Sean does like creating stakes. He does. Or like ah raising them.
00:25:54
Speaker
yeah favorite thing about- Which kind of speaks to how he approaches this whole- Oh, very true. This whole episode, because it's like he wants it to be exciting, as you said. Gotta raise the stakes, even if there are no stakes to be raised. Mm-hmm. Then they go back to the police station. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Sean's going to have like a vision right and miraculously get himself on the game. He clearly did not realize how serious Vic was. He refuses to see it. I don't, I really don't understand why. Like she is a serious lady. We have seen that she can be a very serious lady yeah and he's like, no, want to be on the case. Be on the case at all. Yeah. Well, it's interesting because like
00:26:46
Speaker
I guess up to this point, she has been pretty hands off with them, but I don't know if you really see her as like the chief in this episode, where like how she like how her mental wellness affects everybody else, yes how she like manages Shawn and Gus as people who are employed by her for a private case, h not a place for me.
00:27:13
Speaker
my police department case. um But it's like, you know, she's very strict, like they cannot work other cases, they cannot like, don't come back to her until they have it solved, you know, all this stuff, like, that feels very like by the book and very like authority figure. And I feel like we don't often get to see her like that, because we maybe we don't spend as much time with Jules and Lassie, like, yeah,
00:27:39
Speaker
she She is just kind of, she floats in and out when they like need her kind of. yeah yeah um So yeah, it is interesting to see that her being their direct boss for this.
00:27:53
Speaker
Yeah. And it was really interesting to see too, like you said, the dynamics between her being on edge, causing everyone else to be on edge. Yeah. Like the fact that Lassie, who is still in a sling, is... video muson wherere i know I hope his arm is okay. Yeah.
00:28:18
Speaker
he The fact that he is getting frustrated by the fact that she's on edge and then taking it out on Juliet, who like doesn't know what to do with all of this, but doesn't want to take it out on other people, so is just getting very frustrated. Yeah, she dishes it back to Carlton a little bit. Yeah. she You can tell she's like chillax.
00:28:38
Speaker
Yeah, but like doesn't want to be as we know for Jules like doesn't really want to be mean so But just wants him to like stop it um It's interesting to see that like Vic literally has a ah little mental breakdown over the coffee pot and not being filled with coffee which Understandable if you're sleep-deprived you really want coffee, but you can tell she's like really on the brink Yeah I feel for her. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I can only imagine, only imagine. And also having a high stress job on top of that, like yeah having to leave the baby now, having to go and be the chief of police while also not having any sleep. Like that's, I can only imagine what that's like, but it's interesting to see the trickle down effect, which like you said, I don't think we've seen too much of.
00:29:26
Speaker
not Nick's purpose, because we obviously know that she's the chief of police, but maybe how she functions into the whole personal dynamics of all of it. And that's very apparent in this episode. Yeah. Yeah. Sean does kind of lay it out for us at one point where he says like, Chief Coon is lashing out at lasty and lasty's taking it out on jewels. Yes. Yeah.
00:29:51
Speaker
Yeah, so she's done with all the shenanigans. She just wants a nanny so she can sleep. Yeah, and once, I guess, minorly in Sean's defense, once he sees the breakdown about the coffee pot, it does seem that he's like, okay, we'll leave. Yeah, we won't do this right now. We're out here. But then she sees them and she's like, oh, thank God you found me a nanny. Yes, yes. They're like, actually.
00:30:21
Speaker
Not quite. So when he tries to have a vision, well he has a half-hearted vision about the robberies and that's when she does her like, can you tell me who the murderer is in less than 10 seconds? Yes. 10, 9, 1. Which, you know, this is also kind of a weird, a weird situation because if Sean, if, if we are getting on getting on the boat, getting on the track, getting on the whatever. say the next part and won it If we're getting on this idea that Sean is a psychic, like if we're all on the same page, getting on the train. Okay. If, if we're getting on whatever type of locomotion we're getting on and we all agree that Sean is apparently a psychic, like
00:31:09
Speaker
Can he control these visions? like i don't I think he's made it pretty clear that he can't. It just like kind of comes to him. So if he's working this this nanny case for Vic, but then he gets a vision about something else, like why wouldn't he go and tell Vic, hey, I think I have information on something else? It it feels like that would be the the next step. Yeah. Well, I do think she's like, OK, fine.
00:31:38
Speaker
than who did it. And if you don't know, then I don't care. So it's not that she's saying, like, if you had a critical vision, like, I don't want to hear about it. She's kind just saying, like, don't come to me unless it really matters because I don't but can't deal with you on this right now. Yeah, I guess really his end goal here is that he wants to be put on the case, which she's like an access. Right. I'm not going to do that regardless of this vision, yeah unless it is super important.
00:32:06
Speaker
Which, yeah, I guess that that makes sense because she wants all the attention devoted to finding a nanny. Yeah. And even then, if unless he said like who, well, even if he said who it was, like who the murderer was, he suddenly had a realization. I don't know that she would like invite him into it, but she'd be like, okay, we'll check it out.
00:32:23
Speaker
Yeah, she'll pass it along to someone else. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, while he is wanting, right, part of his attention to be devoted to the case and to finding the nanny. Because historically that has worked for him. like He gathers some information and then pretends that he just like kate it came to him and that's like enough to be like, okay, you're in the case. But like in this, he's only telling him what they already know. There are robberies, we know that. Right. and So it's like, okay, great. Move along and find a nanny.
00:32:53
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. And it's really, I mean, it's not all gonna kind of come together until much later, where now it starts to make sense as to why he was pulling all of this, all of this stuff out of the out of the air. And I love So we're in we're in the police station. He leaves Vic's office, sees that Jules and Lassie are working on the robbery case, goes over, pretends to be ordering a pizza or some form of food, and takes pictures of the documents while he's talking. And I just love the last line of this interaction with, he's asking Lassie, do you want um jalapeno pop or cinnamon wings?
00:33:38
Speaker
I know that sounds disgusting. Bananas, but also very them. Very them. And Lassie goes, walk away.
00:33:47
Speaker
ah How would one even make jalapeno pop or cinnamon wings? I guess a wing with maybe, maybe a wing stuffed inside a jalapeno with the batter, like cheese and batter around the jalapeno, deep fried and then dipped in cinnamon.
00:34:08
Speaker
I think that sounds as close as it's going to get. It doesn't seem too bad until you put the cinnamon on it and then I'm like, cinnamon and cheese? That sounds strange. Yeah, none of that really sounds appealing to me, but I could see Shawn and Gus making that in their food truck. Absolutely. Oh my God, absolutely. they were totally This is probably an idea that Shawn has been sitting on for a while. and had an opportunity to stop it in his nonsense. Yeah. He's so nonsensical. But yeah, that is a fun moment because if Vic's not going to let him in, he's going to do it the old fashioned way. And so he pretends to be on phone with the pizza place and starts annoying Jules and Lassie, asking them all kinds of questions about what they want. And while they deal with him, he's just snapping pics behind the pillar. Not very subtle, but no.
00:35:06
Speaker
this too I was like, how did none of them go phone? There's even people on the other side of the table who don't. Yeah. I mean, I guess when Sean's there, you're just focused on his face and words coming out of his mouth. That's fair. Yeah, he does have quite the face. He does. Quite the words.
00:35:29
Speaker
ah Okay, so. And then he goes to the psych, wait, I guess they go to the psych office. Yeah. and Yeah. Well, Gus left early. Okay. Cause I was like, wait, I feel like he goes to meet Gus, but Gus was with him. Okay. Yeah. Gus kind of like left early, I guess to go do these interviews. Oh, right. Cause Gus is very focused on.
00:35:54
Speaker
Yeah. The task at hand. Absolutely. Well, Gus also I think is like, we need to get paid. True. It's not as clear cut as it will get in the future where Gus is like, stop it. We need money. But I think he's like, okay, she's hired us as a private case. She's going to pay us. We need to follow through with what we said we were going to do.
00:36:16
Speaker
Yeah, Gus was really great at this whole thing. He takes it very seriously. He respects it. Even when Pick is presenting them with this hu um very high profile assignment, Gus is like, yeah, absolutely. Nannies are super important.
00:36:35
Speaker
um so yeah children are our future or whatever yeah children are our future and it's like uh right and also heaven's left in months yeah it's like please just let me get some sleep that's it that's all i care about that's the baby can we put to bed so yeah Gus is doing interviews and it seems like he's been doing a lot of them like he makes it sound like he's kind of really honed in on these last three. Yeah. Well, I guess part of how they get off the hook with Vic at the station is they're like, well, we actually wanted to tell you that we've narrowed it down to three candidates. So that's also why they came to talk to her. Yes, of course. And she's like, oh, great. Yeah, good, good. Of course, they don't actually have three. Well, they've got the three that Gus is about to interview in.
00:37:30
Speaker
and Sean will ceremoniously dismiss. Yeah. Yeah. And he he very quickly is like, no, that person's gross. No, that person's a psycho. No, that person. He originally says it's like promiscuous, but then realizes she's getting married. Yeah. The only reason that works, so he says slob, psycho, slut. Yeah. And um and it I mean,
00:37:59
Speaker
It is an annoying ah distilling of these, you know, I'm sure complex women. yeah um But the the slight comment Sean does admit is more about her future. So really, he just wants to hit on her and it has nothing to do with her. Correct. Yeah. And of course, Sean has to give yeah reasons for each of them. Well, the slob is a slob because she's smelling for armpit.
00:38:24
Speaker
And which who hasn't leave that woman alone. Same thing. I was like, I, we all do that to make sure and she just had an interview. Yeah, I'm sure. I remember I came out of my like, defense of my concentration thing at school. And I was wearing a shirt that was like orange, like a blouse. And I had crazy pit stains because I was so nervous. It was like so embarrassing. So you know, maybe that was the situation. Yeah, absolutely. anyway couldn be And the second one who he calls psycho
00:38:59
Speaker
He's like, she's been writing ever since I got in here. And Gus goes, you know, maybe she's journaling, like maybe she's creative. And Shawn goes, it's the same sentence over and over again. Now, I don't know what sentence that is, but there is no configuration of words that makes that behavior acceptable.
00:39:17
Speaker
Perfect. That's fair. That feels fair. Yeah. Right. And then he says the the future one about the yeah last girl. But again, like kind of a ah masterclass for Sean on just like how to read people. Yeah, it was another like remedial training kind of moment. Because Gus, once again, is like taking pains to interview these people and yeah Sean walks in and is like, no, no, no. Yep.
00:39:44
Speaker
Yeah, and and to what you were saying, I bet Gus was more along the lines of they answer the questions really well, like they seem as if they're qualified. Yeah, he mentions like a background in Montessori and some ideas about nap schedules or whatever. So he's like really thinking about the childcare aspect, but um but Sean is a people reader.
00:40:02
Speaker
yeah Which I guess is fair, I think, I guess, like especially with like who's watching your kids. Maybe you want to know that they're like a stable individual. Yeah. when He does make a good point with ... He then changes his assessment of the last girl and says that she's getting married, and he does have a good point to say, you know maybe she's going to be focusing way too much on the wedding, and then she's going to get married, and then she's going to have kids, and then we'll have to do this all over again, so why would we want to do that in the first place? like Okay, like that's fair. I mean you're looking out more for yourself, but okay Yeah um Yeah, it was interesting, you know women in the workforce people who have kids in the workforce like because on the one hand like it makes sense but also like People do need to be allowed to have leave and like all that stuff. Yeah but Yeah, like he does make the point that
00:40:58
Speaker
Like she's just very preoccupied and focused on the wedding, which, I mean, I don't know. It just, it's a chemistry thing. It's a chemistry thing? If she's going to fit as the nanny and so she's just fine. Got it. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't know how, I was going to ask you, and this is kind of like a sidebar.
00:41:23
Speaker
But how how much of that do you think is like a trope? like the People are just like so like so focused on their weddings. so Well, actually, now that you say that, it's really funny because there's ah that also is very much part of Jules' yeah oh my gosh little plot with her yeah um just pretty soon. Yeah.
00:41:48
Speaker
Um, but like part of the game they play with her is that she's like a modern woman anti-marriage. It's just a contract and her transaction or whatever. And when, when women were property and she doesn't want it. Um, but if they got married, this is how it would be. So, which I do, I kind of love cause that is, um, again, yeah people are full of contradictions. And I feel like that is a very, I mean, not common, but like that.
00:42:17
Speaker
that is one that I feel like I see in real life. like yeah Or that women often have to like navigate not wanting to be a part of these like patriarchal traditions, but also like kind of wanting wanting to be a part of them or like yeah wanting to like like having to figure out how they are gonna how they feel about it and how they want to um maybe subvert it, but also like enjoy the parts that maybe would be meaningful to them. So I liked that. It was kind of fun. Yeah. Well, and I feel like that's very similar to what you were just saying with like women in the workforce. Like, you know, you say you have kids or say you're pregnant, right? There's a very specific, I feel like, of course you can speak to this maybe ah definitely more than I can, but I feel like there's a particular um like vision of people
00:43:06
Speaker
in those roles that people think about, right? Like what you can and can't do, whether that's accurate or not, right? And then wanting to fit into the, well, I still want to be like a good mom and be present for my kids, but I also want to work. And like, that's a lot to, to balance one in between those two.
00:43:28
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, well, and Vic is a yeah also a great example of like how she was like, I'm not taking any time off. And it's like, well, she should. Yeah. yeah But it is kind of a difficult position to be in because especially I would imagine in this line of work that they're in, very male driven and probably traditionally like wouldn't have even known what to do with a woman in law enforcement. And so like, you know, it's 2007. Like we don't really even know how many times this has happened in their station. Yeah. Good point. And then even, you know, in like a ah corporate world or like other line of work, like being of ah a childbearing age and like having a kid and then like taking like time, taking a leave. And then it's like, Hey, look, I'm going to have another one. Like,
00:44:20
Speaker
Is that okay? You know, like you have to shake leave again. And I feel like it is better. It's getting better when we make it paid family leave. And so it's not just like a specific person who's going to give birth has to take leave. And that makes them like this, the, um,
00:44:38
Speaker
the girl that's going to get married, like the idea that she would be written off because she might have kids someday. right you know we don't We don't want to have that mentality about people. but that should But if we do think about people that way, then it should be applied to anybody because like anybody but could have kids someday. yeah um So I don't know. It is all very complicated. and um but But yeah, I didn't really think about how much like how many layers to that are in this episode because we have Vic and then we have this the nannies being of a certain age and then like Jules thinking about like what she wants. That is interesting. Wow. Yeah. Deep. Yeah, very.
Workplace Dynamics and Family Decisions
00:45:21
Speaker
For an episode that last, at the end of last episode, we were like, nah. Yeah, I know. we were coming Yeah. I feel like this keeps happening to us. It does. Well, I think that just speaks to how good the show is. There's always, always lots of stuff going on.
00:45:38
Speaker
Yeah. And I feel like that's what's so cool about like a workplace comedy is you do have all these different perspectives and people are at different stages in life. And so you can kind of see, yeah, just a lot of nuance to how people approach these decisions. Yeah.
00:45:52
Speaker
And they're big decisions too. Um, I mean, we look at some smaller decisions too, but like, this is a heavy, heavy heading episode when you think about their babies that's what the Is this when we go to the star tech? Yes. Oh yes. Because Sean, Sean is showing Gus the.
00:46:18
Speaker
very grainy photos that he took on his... I wrote that down too. Hilarious. His razor flip phone from 2007. And seven and and um I love how even in the super grainy photos... Which they show, it's not like they, you know. right but what what's What's it that they always say when they want you to like clarify the image? image enhance Enhance. Yeah, it's not like they enhance the image with Sean's psychic abilities. You just see this blob, and it's like a blue blob. So he's like, oh, it must be the star tech side from outside the other house. Yeah, that is definitely. They did make it work of like, OK, he sees this similar shape and color, and he had already seen it in real life. So that's how he's able to like bring that together.
00:47:03
Speaker
or even know what it was. Yeah and he starts to realize that okay there's at least two houses that have had this star tech security so let's go to the star tech place and see what's going on. So also they for sure called it star tech just so they can make a bunch of star trek jokes. Absolutely oh well. This episode is like chock full of that. Well, I mean, I don't know, but there's at least that. And then also I'm thinking that they named it Red Balloon Nanny Agency just so they could play. 100%. Yes, absolutely. Which I thought was so I love that they threw that in there too because it's such a great song.
00:47:42
Speaker
So we get to StarTech and Jules and Lassie are already there because they've already seen the connection between StarTech. And it seems like they must all, all the houses have it. Yeah. So yeah that is that suspicious. It is very suspicious. And so they're talking to the security people there trying to ascertain what might be the reason why this was happening. Like, isn't it strange that, you know,
00:48:06
Speaker
None of the security systems were tripped at these houses and the security system was supposed to keep them safe. And I love that the guy was like, well, you know, a lot of the time when people get security systems, they get lazy and they like don't even turn them on. This guy was funny. This guy was great. Another good little extra guy. And I just love that last, he was like, so you're telling me.
00:48:30
Speaker
that your answer to this is no one turns on the security system. And I love how he's like, the guy is like, if I was going to rob houses, this is the one I would rob. It's harpy. He's got a picture out of it. He's like, tell me, how would you do it? Yeah. Give me the info.
00:48:51
Speaker
ah she yeah And then Sean comes in and of course starts all of his antics. And my favorite line of this whole scene was Lassie's still trying to... I'm about to cry because it's Lassie. That's so hard. Lassie's about to like ask this guy to keep talking. And he says about Sean, please exclude excuse my pseudo-colleague's presence. Yes, I wrote that down too. I'm so funny. That was so good because, yeah, like what is he? He's not really a colleague.
00:49:24
Speaker
He's not like, he's not even on this case right now. So he's just, yeah, not a friend. They're not friends. Yeah. So my pseudo colleague, good for you Lassie. That was a good clip. Yeah.
00:49:42
Speaker
And is that, I mean, that's really, I think all we get from, from StarTech. Yeah.
00:49:50
Speaker
um He looks at the board, I think. Oh yes, that's how he gets all the addresses. Oh okay. That makes sense. Gets all the addresses and realizes they're all kind of kind of in the same area so he wants to go look at them. See if he can, you know, divine.
00:50:11
Speaker
whatever he can. So he calls Gus, asks Gus if he can go with him, take the blueberry. You know, he can't just go in his motorcycle, be very not under cover of him. But Gus is tied up with the nanny search, so he can't take him. So who do we go to? When I do love Shawn, it's like, I need somebody to drive me around. you Oh my gosh. im sitting And then cut to him. and Trusted old Henry. Yay. We love Henry.
00:50:39
Speaker
in the beat up truck, looking for Sean's kinkajou. It's so cute. It's so cute. Because any time Sean and Henry are just like being together, I'm just like, they're so cute. They are. Yeah, I mean, because I don't know, it's kind of like, I mean, we we find out that Henry has agreed to do this because Sean agreed to mow the lawn. Of course, yes. Very childish. Very Henry. Very Henry and very like child.
00:51:07
Speaker
um very But it does feel like one of those moments kind of in the flashbacks where Henry is sort of patient with Sean like in his antics. He is driving very slowly as Sean is trying to search for his kinkajou, which in my head, it's a Tamagotchi. I don't know what a kinkajou is, do you? and I think it's like a monkey. Oh, it's an actual thing? I think so. Isn't it?
00:51:36
Speaker
Yes, it's an animal. king good je Wow. yeah My whole life of watching Psych, I just replaced Pinkajou with Hamagotchi. I also just love the idea that Sean like...
00:51:53
Speaker
accidentally dropped his tomagotchi. Sure, that's something Sean would do. Absolutely. But they're like looking very like intently in the grass for us. That's incredible. I love that. Oh my god. Okay, Wikipedia says the king can do is a tropical rainforest mammal of the family. Prossay-on-a-day. Okay. Related to raccoons, the ring tail. Oh, okay. Like a lemur. Similarly. Yeah. Very cute.
00:52:22
Speaker
Yeah they are cute. Okay good to know. So monkey is apparently running a king je is running around Santa Barbara. i love its so I love this whole interaction because so Henry pulls a line then I was like oh You like, he realized all along that Sean was lying and yeah he was just gonna do this to help him anyway, which I thought was really sweet who because this is kind of now commonplace for the two of them. Sean will come and
00:52:58
Speaker
think that Henry doesn't want to help him. So he'll come up with some ridiculous excuse to get Henry to help him, usually offers to do something or Henry convinces him to do something for him. And then Henry helps him anyway.
00:53:13
Speaker
Which I'm like at this point, Sean, just tell him what's going on. and Like he's going to help you. But it comes back to this whole like very specific idea that Sean has of Henry in his mind of being like this grumpy, crotchety old man who only wants to do things for himself and like doesn't want to help other people. um Only do it if there's something in it for him. But at the end of the day, Henry was just going to do it because it's Sean and he wanted to help him, which I thought was so sweet.
00:53:43
Speaker
Yeah. And that is like the way you put that just really makes me think of like all those times that we have seen in Sean's childhood where Henry was so engaged with what they were doing and like really humored Sean so much. And so it's like interesting to think about like where this idea came from of like who Henry is. But I do feel like that's such a parent-child dynamic of like putting them in a box and um telling yourself certain stories about who they are and not really letting them deviate from that, which we have seen like in the masculinity stuff. like We've seen lots of times. so yeah it is really their Their dynamic is just so juicy. I can't deal. yeah I think it's hard, especially as a kid.
00:54:34
Speaker
So i'm I'm thinking from Sean's perspective, you know, as an itty bitty one who doesn't know anything different than Henry being around. Like that to him is probably just like, of course my dad's around, yeah you know? So he's not looking necessarily at at that, but at the way in which Henry interacts with him. And Henry is, you know,
00:55:00
Speaker
It's a little abrasive at times. I'm sure that Sean, you know being this very fun-loving, goofy person can think, you're not doing this for me, you're doing this for you, or like you just want me to do what you want me to do, instead of realizing how much he's gone out of his way to be a part of Sean's life. Yeah, and to that point, like Henry does make it a transaction, even though it's like, of course he would help Sean. it's like but he's going to also make him do one. He also does fit that yes and version that Sean believes in. I think part of that, like if I were thinking Henry as a parent to a young Sean, he would be using that to teach him, like you can't you don't get things for free. you know like there's There's always a lesson behind it. Exactly. But again, as as a young Sean, that doesn't translate. like I think there's so much about
00:55:58
Speaker
parents that we only understand with time or with the the distance of age, if you know what I mean. it's It's hard, I think, when you're a child or when you're still
00:56:14
Speaker
growing out of being a child, that for sure it's it's hard to see why why your parents did the things that they did. So I think that's kind of like what we see here, which is so nuanced for such a very small amount of time. Yeah. Every Sean and Henry scene is like that. Like there's just so much to it. But I'm also thinking like how you said that Sean would have just like, like Henry being around for Sean's childhood was just like the way it was. And like, yeah so he doesn't really think about it. It's kind of, ooh, you know, this is water by David Foster Wallace. One of my favorites. Yeah. so But it's kind of like his, this is water. Like this is just what it it is. You know, it like takes work to see that that was anything unique or unique. special, but I also feel like that could play into how and how Sean thinks of nannies as not valuable or necessary because it seems he didn't have one. yeah um And maybe he had babysitters because he says it's a babysitter who can drive. right um But like he in terms of like consistent
00:57:26
Speaker
care by someone who wasn't his parents, that wasn't something that he had. yeah And yeah, so he's just like, well, they should, I don't know. he's like He thinks that that's the way everything should be right or is. Yeah, absolutely.
00:57:42
Speaker
And listener, if you haven't ever heard of This is Water by David Foster Wallace, please go listen to it. It's a commencement speech. I know. I asked you if you heard it, but I feel like we probably sat and listened to it in our dorm room. We did. Well, so we got it. If you remember, we got it as one of our assignments in our one of our was the writing classes. Oh my God. That was our first class together. Yes. Oh my God. OK, it's Hall. Yeah. And then I think I want to say we So that was freshman year. And then I want to say we definitely we definitely talked about it multiple times after that. But I want to say we also listened to it yeah maybe junior or senior year again.
00:58:24
Speaker
Yeah. Do yourself a favor. I was so good. Look it up on YouTube and listen to it. Yep. There's also a book of it if you want like a hard copy, but it's yeah, amazing. The general premise is- Thank you for reminding me that- Yeah, you're welcome. We found that in that class together. Yeah. Yeah. And the writing class, because it is such a brilliantly written, constructed- Brilliant. Speech, but could be read as an essay too, but yeah, it's brilliant.
00:58:52
Speaker
Yeah, it's, it's amazing. I think it's one of those things that everyone should take a moment to experience. Mm-hmm. Part of the Pheasitis 101 curriculum now. Yes! Yes. We'll discuss it at length. This episode of just a reaction to this is water. Oh my god. Oh, so we're we're in the car with Henry. Yes. We get out of the car and Henry immediately goes, well, that's a stupid house to rob. but and Sean's like, wow, way to dismiss like everybody and everything in their entire lives. Yeah, nobody can live up to your standards. Yeah, god, dad. The dynamics bleeding into every conversation they had. Yeah, which yeah I thought that was so interesting too because immediately immediately Henry's like, that's not what I meant. Why would someone want to rob this house of all the houses on the street?
00:59:46
Speaker
Silly, tell me why. And Sean's like, well, that house has complete cover from the brushes. This house has a security system. The house over there, people aren't living in it right now. It's like a stack of newspapers that says they're out of town. I mean freaking love this moment because it totally parallels the remedial training moment with the babysitters. Yeah. And like it also shows that like Henry is kind of like a kryptonite to Sean.
01:00:16
Speaker
Because it's like he if he had walked there with Gus, he would have made the same conclusion. He would have seen all the same stuff. But he wants to pick a fight with Henry before he can even do that. Oh my god, such a great point. Yeah, he would have very he very easily would have picked up on all those things. Yeah. But because Henry is there, just meh. Yeah, it's like he he just wants to butt heads with him and then and it becomes the how many hats in the room moment. Yeah.
01:00:47
Speaker
Ridiculous. But through our reading of the houses, we've realized that that house was chosen for reason. What that reason is, yeah, we don't know, but. And that delivery of that line of like, whatever shows it. I forget what Henry says, but then Sean responds with that house. was That was not a crime of chance, Sean. That house was chosen for a reason.
01:01:13
Speaker
So good and so dramatic. yeah Sean's like, there can only be one. Yes, there can only be one.
01:01:24
Speaker
Everyone can do Connery. Your lander sucks. Yeah. And he's like clearly like not amused by this. And Sean's like, what? I thought we were doing, I thought we were quote doing Highlander quotes or whatever. And then he does a Connery.
01:01:41
Speaker
And then, yeah, and Henry's like, everyone can do that. Which again, I love, he's like humoring him, he's but they're still bickering. Like, I don't know. where It's just, it's so good. Yeah, I've seen Highlander 2, The Quickening, because of my bad movie podcast, but I have not seen the original Highlander. I have not seen either. I was going to ask you, is it good, but bad? Well, the first one is like a classic. Oh, okay. The second one is bad. I mean, I don't know if the first one is I think it's, I don't know. Maybe we have to watch it. maybe I do feel like I would quote, that can only be one, but I'm quoting Sean, quoting Highlander. Oh, I would do that. Yeah. yeah so But I do feel like in pop culture, that's like a ah classic line.
01:02:38
Speaker
and Maybe we have to watch it so we can make the actual reference you have and the pseudo reference. yeah
01:02:47
Speaker
And then Sean sees one of our nannies come out of her house, which I guess is nearby. And she's wearing coach sunglasses, which Sean asks Henry, would a nanny be able to afford coach sunglasses? And Henry says, well, she should, because children are maddening hellions. Go, Henry. Great nanny can make all of the difference in the world. Haven't you seen nanny 911?
01:03:16
Speaker
I was like, absolutely, Henry. who Children are imagining Helionsa. Yes. Where they can be. Yeah. But yeah, care is work and people should make good wage. Absolutely. Well, and he he makes the point too of like, you know, ah good someone who's really good at handling children like that.
01:03:41
Speaker
makes all the difference. Like if you like get kids and you set high expectations and like, you know, all that stuff, you can really change like how that kid functions. Like you can really make a difference and that's not easy work to do by any means. Okay. And then we go back to the police station. Oh, Oh, because Sean takes that and like,
01:04:08
Speaker
they are the robbers, the nannies are the robbers because they have too much money. Right. Or more money than they would have. Then yes. So we go into Vic's office and Vic immediately has a scowl on her face and Shawn is ready for a vision and tells her all about these things that he's seeing. Nanny circle, circle of nannies. She's giving him nothing. Neighbors, yeah. And he's like just trying to get some reaction out of her until she slumps over and wakes up and we realize, oh, she was asleep with her eyes open. I feel like this is like one of the most iconic moments in all of Psych. Oh, so good. And again, just up
01:04:54
Speaker
beautiful performance, that like so, just so good. And she's so apologetic and she's like, I know it was kind of creepy. I learned how to do that on stakeouts. I am just so impossibly sleep deprived. And Sean again tries to get on the case. He doesn't know when to quit. And she is so peeved at him. She fires him on the spot, snarling across the desk at him.
01:05:23
Speaker
I love the delivery of the line too when he's like, when she's like, you found me a nanny and he's like, no. And she's like, then why are you here? Yeah. So, so heartbroken. She's really, she's getting to the point where she's like desperate. You can tell. She's like, I just. She is. Yeah. Do anything to help me. She's essentially like, I'm telling you I'm drowning and you were not throwing me a life vest. What is wrong with you?
01:05:52
Speaker
really has tunnel visions episode. Like she's a broken woman and he's not. Yeah. And she cry like she's not even trying to hide it. She's not like, I just really need you to find me a nanny, please. Like I, yeah like you can tell she is coming apart at the seams. Like she, she's really, she needs sleep and he's not. Yeah. unramin Yep. Oh yeah. so she fires him and he's like, from which case? Because again, he's, I mean, again, does not know when to quit. Like he'll literally shut up Sean and Vik is like, all of them. So enjoyed. So the end of psych as we know it, face the black girl credits.
01:06:42
Speaker
and they know
01:06:46
Speaker
yeah And then, you know, Sean still doesn't really know when to give up, so he goes to guess. I feel like now it's like, okay, now he's in. Even the way he says it is like, we're going to do all this. We're going to work both cases. We're going to win her her favor back. And Gus is like, how is that any different than what we were doing before? He's like, it's going to be much more exciting. Can't you feel it? Yeah, I love that. I love the delivery. So Sean, it's like he likes the chaos and the drama and the stakes.
01:07:18
Speaker
He does. What are those, um, what are those charts? Like chaotic neutral. Oh yeah. Chaotic good. Should we do a chart of all the characters? I think maybe. Sean's definitely some form of chaotic. Oh, good call. Good call. Okay. That's what we're going to do. Throw it on, on the insta.
01:07:42
Speaker
And um yeah, Gus, Gus like refuses to play into this now because he's already done so much work. He's not going to go with Sean and ah play two dads as Sean asks him to do. So Sean has to get someone else to play. Wait, before we move on, I do want to note that Gus's business, his actor business for that scene is preparing a bagel and they have so many bagels.
01:08:07
Speaker
I didn't even know. There's like a full package. There's like a plate of either bagels or like soft pretzels. There's just like a lot going on in there. Love a good soft pretzel. Yeah.
01:08:20
Speaker
the you They got to be stocked up on snacks. One cannot function without a good snack. Yeah. And breads. And breads. It's true. Have we gotten to the... Oh, no, we haven't we haven't gotten to the the snack delivery system yet. Oh, no. That's a good one. This would be perfect. Deliver a bagel across the room. So we end up...
01:08:43
Speaker
Because Gus will not buy in, we end up going and getting Jules to buy in, which this whole scene was just amazing. Very fun. Yeah. Jules is Chi not being good. Yeah. He kind of corners her at the coffee shop. which Is this the coffee shop that had the mango pineapple double chocolate scones? Oh.
01:09:08
Speaker
I feel like no, because the other this one seems like it's close to the beach. The other one felt like it was close to town. Yeah, like more in the woods oh area.
01:09:23
Speaker
Well, okay. so Jules is coming out. She's on the phone with Carlton who's not listening to her and being a meanie. She's trying to eat her pastry and Shawn comes out of the way to work and she's like, please leave me alone. Let me eat my pastry. um Also, I feel like she's kind of, I mean, I guess she's working. but She must be, yeah. Because she's on the phone with Carlton. but i guess She's a salaried employee, so she probably takes work calls at any time, but she kind of looks off duty. Yeah, she does. Her style is a little different. She's got a pink sweater on. Yeah. She doesn't have her blazer on. Yeah, she doesn't have a blazer. yeah so they shit are Maybe she's just on a break then. Maybe she's just grabbing coffee. like like or something yeah yeah Maybe she has a blazer in the car. I don't know. I was just like, aw, Jules. Yeah, she does look very cute. Yeah.
01:10:18
Speaker
And Sean comes over and just, of course, throws all of his chaos on Juliet and ends up proposing. Yeah, we got it. Okay. So that moment, because he's reading.
01:10:33
Speaker
again putting together all his observations like there's I have a vision of a raccoon in the police station and Chief Coon is um is yelling at Lassie and Lassie's taking it out on you and and then you need to do something bold you need to do something different and then he gets down when he marries me ah and Jules is just Like she was with him for a minute there. She's like, okay, yeah. I mean, yeah, that is what it's like. And then all of a sudden he's proposing. Oh man. I just, what do you think his game was? like Like he's just back to like messing with her a little bit.
01:11:18
Speaker
i I guess. It's hard to discern because at the end he does mention, or like later on, he mentions him having a vision of them being married. And it could be that it was just for this case. Or it could be way down the line. So it could be him just messing with her. It could be like his weird kind of flirty I mean, messing with her in a flirty way, like the Apple Jacks. That's what it reminds me of. Like the Apple Jacks, exactly. It's like he sees an opportunity to like get on your mind again. Yeah. I mean, yeah, to be, I mean, this character, well, it's not really a character because it's him, but like this heightened version of himself really allows him to
01:12:13
Speaker
do things that like a normal person would not be able to do. Like he can get away with this. Cause he is like, like, I mean, if, if all the psychic stuff was completely sincere and he had a vision that they were married, then it's like, I must write.
01:12:30
Speaker
proposed to Jules so she can play my wife for this case because that is what the spirits want me to do or whatever. you Like that is what's going to happen so I have to make it so. So like that all, yeah you know, he can do that because he is this psychic character but I think I feel like to Sean it's also just like, I don't know, a fun way to flirt with her and mess with her.
01:12:54
Speaker
yeah Yeah, it's so hard because I do feel like we have to keep reminding ourselves of the situation,
01:13:08
Speaker
of the mindset rather, that everyone else is in. That is Sean and Gus. Yeah. Cause you're right. If from Jules's or Lassie's or Vic's perspective,
01:13:21
Speaker
Sean would just say, it's, oh, psychic vision, have to do this thing to make the psychic vision happen so that we can solve that. Like that makes total sense. But then from our perspective of knowing who Sean is, we're like, you're crazy. Like, why would you do that? Sorry. We could do it this way. Yeah. Without your water. Just ask her to go undercover with you. Yeah, literally. But then also from the mindset of Sean to be like, okay, I can't just ask her to go undercover with me because then I'm kind of,
01:13:50
Speaker
you know burying the leader whatever of the fact that I'm not psychic like I have to make it a big deal it's like all very convoluted it is for like no reason but it all does but also it's like it's inevitable like it has to be this way it's so funny Yeah, it's so ridiculous. And Jules eventually is like, yes, sure, we can go. And I can pretend to be your wife. I do love that he does it in front of an audience. So they all clap, of course, because that's the standard when you see a proposal. And then eventually when she's like, okay, fine. And he's like, she said yes, everybody. Look at us. I love that her answer is fine. Fine. Yeah.
01:14:37
Speaker
again I think like deep down maybe Jules realizes this is all kind of pomp and circumstance like it doesn't need to be like this but okay I will play along yeah if I must yeah when she is you know Shawn's biggest believer so oh yeah she's like definitely maybe she sees a bit of like
01:15:02
Speaker
creatives and that is what they are going to do. I don't know.
Jules' Personal Dreams and Vulnerability
01:15:06
Speaker
It's such a weird thing because it's not like, I mean, the idea of like knowing your own future, it's like what you're supposed to do versus what you just are going to do. so Is there any free will? Yeah. um But, but also, she is in a test spot at work. And it's not the first time that they've kind of teamed up when that has happened. yeah So yeah, maybe I guess she's got nothing to lose at this point. Yeah. So we
01:15:37
Speaker
go over to the red balloon nanny agency. and this So from the point that they leave the coffee shop to being invited into the office.
01:15:49
Speaker
um She is talking about the wedding that they would have had. They just love her sitting there with the little bear. cute cute explain the whole thing Yeah, She's a little girl just like the oldest dreamt of it exactly. I feel like that is such a ah great like characterization. The fact that she does have all this in like the ready. Like she has thought about this. Oh yeah. She's dreamed of this as a little girl, but also she is in this very male dominated environment and stuff. And so she's like, I don't believe in any of this, but right. If I did, this is how it's like, it's like, she can't, she can't properly like
01:16:37
Speaker
or she can't really be vulnerable about it, but like this kind of situation gives her this like opportunity to like share what she's obviously been thinking about a lot, or has thought about a lot in her life. She's only, what, 26, so it's not like... that long ago that she was like a little girl dreaming of these things. Absolutely. Well, I think it's really sweet too that she feels comfortable enough to share all of the very little details with Sean because i I bet she's thinking like this guy is a nutcase. And if I'm like a little bit of a nutcase, about which she is just in general. Yeah.
01:17:21
Speaker
She's like, he'll get it. He's not going to be rude to me or anything for giving all these details because he's the same way about so many other things. Yeah, true. He's like really sweet. Aw, they're just a couple of weirdos together. Yeah. I feel like that is what this show is. That is what life is. Yeah, they're all a bunch of weirdos that belong together.
Nanny Agency's Hidden Agenda
01:17:42
Speaker
Yeah.
01:17:42
Speaker
ah So we're at the but agency and they are talking about wanting a nanny for their, their little, little daughter, Millicent, little Millie. And the, I didn't catch her name. What was the, the lady who runs the agency, what was her name? Okay. I think Abby. Abby. Okay. And then Steve. Oh, Steve. Okay.
01:18:15
Speaker
All right, so we, we meet Abby, who is the, she seems like the director of the agency, like the, you know, the head honcho, if you will. And she shows them around the place and, you know, lets Jules ask any questions that she has. Cause of course they're undercover parents and we eventually end up meeting Steve. who seems like the tech guy, the person who puts in the cameras in the house, the big bonding cameras. And that's like a selling point to this agency apparently that they have these cameras that they install in your house so you can watch.
01:18:52
Speaker
Right. The nanny and your child. Yes. Which it's such a ah weird branding thing to say they're baby bonding camera cameras. Like you're bonding with your baby by watching them. Yeah. Like the baby doesn't see you. Right, exactly. So how would you actually be bonding? But I guess maybe there is a little piece of mind and in thinking that you could see what was going on at any point in time. Yeah, I get that. But it is interesting that it's like part of the package. Yeah. Yeah. And just the way it's presented of like, yeah, that seems to be his whole job. Yeah. Just installing the cameras. Yeah. And I mean, I guess it makes, I guess it makes way more sense down the line. Right. Exactly. I think it it is strange in that. Yeah. Because it's, it's, you know, maybe there's some ulterior motives. Yes. Yes. Maybe. Maybe.
01:19:45
Speaker
So we we get a moment where Sean like dips out of the conversation because Gus called and he wants to get the files for the nannies that he met at the park. Because remember, we think that the nannies are kind of in on all of this. So he goes into the- When he sets Jules up. Oh my gosh. He uses what he's learned about Jules in the past 15 minutes against his enemies here pe yeah um and says, honey, why don't you tell him about what we did with little Millie's room so you can so they know where to put the cameras? And so she like starts in on another like
01:20:23
Speaker
monologue of it. Another thing that she has evidently thought very deeply about. Yeah, the raspberry and and sage color scheme. Yeah, like something about Oprah and like all of these. So cute. And Sean goes and grabs their file files and then comes on back to them. Doesn't seem like he, you know, gathered too much information. Yeah, he didn't read them. And then he like flashes back to the coach sunglasses, but I didn't catch what he saw on the file. Did you?
01:20:51
Speaker
I, it seemed to me like maybe she worked there before coach. Yeah. Oh, okay. Cause he, he does kind of rule them out after that, but I wasn't sure what he got. Okay. That makes sense. I kind of interpreted it as like prior jobs or prior references. Okay.
01:21:09
Speaker
um And what we what we do see is that the place where she was working is one house over from one of the houses that was robbed. So next door neighbors to a house is that was robbed. And then we get a work call.
01:21:30
Speaker
on Jules' cell phone saying that some of the stolen merchandise, merchandise, some of the stolen property, I guess rather, it's not really merchandise. um Stolen properties. Yeah, yes. Much faster moving case, if you will. um the The property has been found at a pet store, which I was like, what? I know. What was he up to?
01:21:54
Speaker
Yeah. Also, why did he accidentally leave it? Was he giving it to the pet store owner? I was like, that's a great question because like i didn't yeah I didn't really stop and think about it, but does Jules say like why it turned up there?
01:22:10
Speaker
I, not that I grabbed, but let's see. I was thinking like, oh, did he drop it in like the garbage and the guy saw him and was like, that's kind of bizarre. I don't think so because it like, it seems like he talked to him. Oh, right. Yeah. yeah I mean, it it seems like the kind of interaction you would have at a pawn shop, except it was.
01:22:32
Speaker
pet store A pet store, an exotic pet store. So I don't know. Oh my gosh. Was this guy just like a little off his rocker? A chewing tobacco was getting to him? Okay. He wants me to meet him at some exotic reptile shop on Central. Said they found some of the stolen merchandise from the robberies. That's it. Okay. We missed that, but Gus was interviewing him a very promising nanny.
01:23:01
Speaker
Oh yes. And ask her when she can start. h And Lassie asks the guy, when did the items come in? Oh, he sold them to him.
01:23:15
Speaker
Can you describe the person who sold them to you? So maybe it was some sort of exotic pet paraphernalia. oh may Oh, maybe. Yeah, I guess we don't actually see what the items were. But it seemed like they were stealing things like jewelry and because they were like in safes. Hmm. Yeah, that's true. Strange. I don't know.
01:23:40
Speaker
regardless. For some reason, yeah this reptile man it's repile was the target demographic for some of these ah stolen goods. And this guy, he is so fun. He is. I love the delivery of Boy U.S. of Toughest.
01:24:00
Speaker
It's just a great great writing of this character, great delivery of these lines. And I love the whole back and forth. Like, Lassie is not getting anywhere with this guy, like clearly. Yeah. He's still on edge and this guy's like trying to be helpful, but he's like, I don't know. Like, I don't remember anything. All people look alike to me. They all look like reptiles. And Sean uses that to his advantage and asks him. Because he caught sight of a chew Yes. Something. Like the spit. Like the cup. I don't know what he saw, but something that indicated somebody was chewing tobacco. Yes. um Which we just saw our friend Steve doing, or he had tobacco on him. So he asks him if he looks, if the guy looked like a puffer fish. Yeah. He was like, just like a puffer fish.
01:24:56
Speaker
Let's see, I have the... Oh yeah, read it, read it. Was he roly-poly like a puffer fish? Yeah. Spencer, what the hell? Yeah, he was. Now I'm seeing red, was he red-faced like a koi fish? Exactly. And did he spin a lot like a komodo dragon? Just like a komodo. Just like so good. Yeah, it's so fun. And lastly, he's like, great, I will take this to the skandart. But then Jules, and this is kind of fun too.
01:25:25
Speaker
this, jewel Jules like pulls Sean to the side and was like, hey, that description kind of sounds like the guy that we just saw at the Red Balloon Agency. And it was kind of interesting to think like, oh, Jules and Lassie and Vic must believe that Sean just like pulls this but doesn't actually know what to do with it. Well, and that is kind of how he presents it a lot of times. Like he will just say stuff.
01:25:54
Speaker
Yeah, tip number two. a let just say He'll say stuff and let them bring it together. And I feel like that's what makes it so like exciting for them and like yeah makes it kind of a team. I don't know. like But he does he lets her have it in this moment, too. And he's like, I was thinking, Kool-Aid man, but yours makes a lot more sense. But yeah, so that is like a fun game that they play. And even the way she reacts to it, she's like, your vision sounds like,
01:26:23
Speaker
Yeah. That guy we just saw. So yeah, she is like thinking what he is seeing is maybe the pufferfish and the koi fish and the komodo dragon, not a person at all. Right. Which is like, I don't know, that's so interesting to think about how they think about his vision, you know? Yeah. Well, because they kind of have to learn the rules too. Right. Right. In order to work with it. Yeah.
01:26:52
Speaker
And he does tell them, like, you know, things in the spirit realm get to hapsy-turvy or whatever. As the two of us. Yeah,
01:27:05
Speaker
yeah which I mean makes it makes sense for the, for the situation that he's in, like for the delivery of all this information. If he were to pull it out with such specific detail, they would catch on much farther or much quicker than in reality they do throughout the series because there's like so many antics and and yeah so much piecing together that needs to happen on their part.
01:27:31
Speaker
Oh, so Sean realizes if Mr. Senior Pufferfish is stealing the stuff, then it's the company, not the nannies that are stealing. So they have all of the w the W's, as Ron says. The who, the what. We kind of have the where to for. We're getting there on the whatchamacallit. Yeah. The where of, the where to for. Yes. So funny.
01:27:54
Speaker
So, you know, they don't want him to turn into an ex-Benedict and have the Hollandaise sauce all in his nice hair. So they got to figure out how. So they go back to an agency with Gus, of course. Yeah. Just him and Gus. It was a very overprotective. Godfather. Godfather. Hold on. Oh, I didn't write it down either. Oh, no. Oh, I did. Schmuel. Schmuel. Cohen? Schmuel.
01:28:23
Speaker
Shmuel Cohen. Yeah. Something like that. And I forget Shawn's was like, leave on. Yeah. Something with a T um leave on something. They're just, they're very um heightened names. Yes. Very silly. So yeah, that's very fun. And Abby, right? She's not in right now. So they're going to wait in the waiting room and the receptionist.
01:28:52
Speaker
It doesn't look very excited about that. no um She's got her customer service place on, but then Sean observes that she seems to have a headache. This is one of my favorite jokes like of all of Psych, but he's like, dude, she's got a headache. Start whistling something by Philip Glass. I don't know why that's so funny to me, but they can do things Philip Glass.
01:29:20
Speaker
It's like a pianist. It's just so random and funny. And Sean's doing this like avant-garde whistling. Yeah, very. Yeah. I can't watch the whole book. Yeah. No rhyme or reason to it. Just to give her more of a headache again. Yeah. And the receptionist is like, you know what? You can leave the other room. Wave for me, please.
01:29:49
Speaker
but just what they wanted. And they're looking for clues in Abby's office. And Gus clocks the chewing tobacco. Sean was like, good clue if I hadn't seen that already. And then Sean sees that there are some scratches on the wall next to this large piece of furniture. I don't even know what you would call it.
01:30:15
Speaker
Yeah, it's like a like giant bookcase with stuff. And so they start, you of course, touching everything on the bookcase because that's just like a trope, I guess, some way to open things on a bookcase. so and Gus ends up twisting something and the back pieces of the bookcase kind of pull apart and on the wall behind there are a bunch of TV monitors where we see inside some of the houses of the red balloon nanny clients. Only the parents are supposed to have access to these feeds. Yeah, which is like super creepy.
01:31:01
Speaker
So they know something is up. Something's amiss. And Gus- We do little dances. Of course. And Gus wraps it all up. He's like, okay, must be the nanny. You know, the houses of the nannies are getting robbed, and they're using the security cameras to rob the place. And Sean's like, close. But none of the places had nannies in the Red Balloon Agency. And this is when he realizes they're casing the houses next door.
01:31:31
Speaker
Not the houses with the nannies in them, the houses next door, which is really concerning when we look on the TV monitor and see Vic is the on there. So with the suspect, the mastermind, Abby of Red Balloon Agency. So we have to go to the house. Yes. We must save Vic and the baby.
01:31:54
Speaker
So we all race to the house, call Jules, let her know what's going on. Oh, I love when he calls Jules and he's like, hey Jules, first of all, who are you? Oh my gosh, yeah. They just have a little chat because it's like Sean. Yeah, come on.
01:32:08
Speaker
And ah they all meet at Vic's house. And the red balloon people are there, so both Abby and Steve. Wait, before they go in, when they run into Shari, to Lassie and Jules out front. And they're like, I hope, where's your baby gift? Yeah, hello. And I kind of thought this was going to be a bit to like let Jules kind of have the collar or whatever. But no um no, it wasn't. They all show up at the door together. Lassie has... um What even is that? Some sort of... Like a steering wheel lock. Oh, okay. Yeah. That locks the wheel. Yeah. And then Jules has a rattle, which is also a low-calorie breath mint. Okay, a container of tic-tacs. I love that Shawn and Gus were actually prepared for this. And so Shawn and Gus. Yeah, so Shawn and Gus Gus was like a stuffed bunny rabbit, and of course Shawn brings a pineapple.
01:33:06
Speaker
which we got a lot of pineapple calls in this episode. The pineapple here, he was chewing pineapple and popcorn movie theater popcorn flavored jelly
The Agency's Target: Chief Vic's House
01:33:14
Speaker
beans. He had a little pineapple on his shirt, like as the emblem. Wow, big one. Lots of popcorn. Lots of pineapples in this episode.
01:33:25
Speaker
And we go on in and they seem like they are having a good time. Abby has just put baby Iris down for a nap and Steve has just, you know, put up all the cameras and it's, you know, looking good. Looking like it's going to be a good thing. She is so grateful. So happy. She's apologetic to Sean. Yes.
01:33:45
Speaker
She literally apologizes. Yeah. She's like, I realized I was overreacting when I tried to run my husband over when he left the garage door open. Oh, so good. And Vic's husband is kind of like another Dobson too. Yes, he is. You're right. They do that a lot, actually. We never actually treat him. But it's, you know, I think it's also a testament to the to the show that there are so many of them, but we never actually realized. like Yeah. But when you're in the moment and and it happens, it's like fun. You're like, oh, yeah. because Exactly. like I think it's in Psych 2, the movie. They acknowledge it because Jules is at Vic's house and Vic mentions that he's there and Jules is like, he's here. I've never actually seen a movie. It's so funny. She's just like us.
01:34:36
Speaker
So Sean grabs a stuffed animal from the mantle to help him nutshell it up and the bunny's telling us a lot, a lot of information, telling us that they just installed some really high-tech cameras and Sean taps Lassie to tell us exactly which model camera. And it's like a super like military grade. Yeah. ba know gear Absolutely. i They just went to 21 cent less. Come on. They got to be up and up. What's going on? So it's like a $10,000 camera for like one of them. I was thinking that nanny agency people must be like so confused.
01:35:16
Speaker
because the couple they interviewed showed up. Oh, true. And now the the one is spouting nonsense. Yeah. i mean mean And they kind of seem it. They are like, what is going on? Yeah, they're like, Oh, Mr. And Mrs. Whatever their last name yeah this is. big like They must be just like, what? What's going on? Yeah. When did you you get here?
01:35:39
Speaker
And Sean, you know, starts this whole nutshelling, saying the whole thing. They're trying to deny all of it. I love that vision too. Like, or I guess, well.
01:35:49
Speaker
I don't know if it's a vision when he's talking to a, an inanimate object. Yeah. Uh, channeling. Sure. Yeah. When he's talking to, that whole thing just gave like Willy Wonka, I felt like pivots and divots and pivots and divots. Yes. So cute. Like who wants to give that a shot? Then Jules is like, give what a shot? Shot. Like, I don't, the way they deliver it is very like, ooh, like yeah kind of odd and wonky. Yeah, I totally, especially that little exchange you just recalled. Yeah. yeah Like the rhythm of it and like the kind of detached delivery. It was just like fun and weird. Yeah.
01:36:30
Speaker
And we weve essentially figure out that they've been using these crazy cameras next door. And because they're so high tech, they can even at nighttime, although they wouldn't need them at nighttime, like zoom in super close and see all of the the passcodes and safe codes and all that stuff to get into houses and be seeming seemingly undetected. The people are like, he's crazy or whatever. and
01:37:02
Speaker
And he's like, or somebody says he's the psychic for the Santa Barbara Police Department. And they're like, what? yeah And Vic is like, yeah yes, he is, which I am the chief of, or something like that. Yeah. And then they arrest them. Yeah. which So they didn't know that they were trying to do this in the chief of police's house. Probably a bad move.
01:37:26
Speaker
I was going to say you'd think that, I mean, I guess Sean references that they don't do background checks. I thought the exact same thing. I was like, this, they kind of handle that yeah with that line. Cause it is kind of like, why wouldn't they know what she yeah what she does? Yeah. Especially you'd think, I mean, I guess I don't know who the chief of police is in my town, but you would think you would. I would think they would know for like, uh, like a lot of times big.
01:37:54
Speaker
contractual agreements like that, they would want to know that you have steady work. I would think they would know that way. like she would have had to put like Or maybe both of them, her and but I don't know. Who knows? They didn't know. They didn't know.
Sean's Trust in Henry as a Nanny
01:38:09
Speaker
And now they're rested.
01:38:13
Speaker
And then we wrap it all up with just the cutest. cutest little scene where, you know, everything's worked out. Vic's nephew's coming back. He's like transferring to a different school so he can be the nanny. Wonderful. But in the meantime, Sean found the perfect person. Guess like, how'd you do that? And of course, the perfect person is Henry. Henry's hamming it up with the baby on the bench in the park. And I just love Henry like, Sean, what do you want me to do with this? Like picking up the baby and like rattling it? I'm like, ah
01:38:46
Speaker
It was adorable. And that baby was so cute. It was cute. But yeah, so he kind of trapped Henry into it. Like, just like, you know, kind of an I'll be right back situation. But he wasn't coming back. And the fast walking away is so funny. So funny. But I do that kind of goes back to like what we've been talking about with like Sean's idea of Henry. So like, ultimately, Sean's like, we'll leave this baby with Henry. Like he still thinks of him as a good caretaker in that way. Yeah.
01:39:17
Speaker
and dependable, someone who would be like, uh, would pass Vicks test. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's definitely like responsible. I mean, they put, you know, victims or suspects or whomever with Henry all the time. as like true Yeah, they do. They do trust him. Yeah. As much as Sean is, uh, maybe upset with his parenting yeah growing up, he definitely still trusts him to handle people.
01:39:48
Speaker
Yeah. and I do love how Henry like reacts to it. It feels like such a like grandparent energy of like, I have done all this before. This is not my job. Yeah. Come back and take this from me. thing I was thinking, have we done a body count update in a very long time? We haven't. All right. Let me pull it. We are at a total of 25.
01:40:15
Speaker
which is eight for the season. So it seems like one a piece for the season, but 25 overall. So still more overall then. And I feel like we referenced this episode maybe as like an example of one that wasn't a homicide, but it turned out. you it's like Homicide adjacent because there was a homicide in it, but it's not really important to the, it's not as important to the overall structure of the episode. Yeah.
01:40:45
Speaker
Well, okay. Our next episode is Bounty Hunters. Bounty Hunters. I love this one. Such a fun one. Such a fun one. Good friend, Tancana. Oh, so much is coming. but Oh, Oh, and another safe house kind of episode. Actually, yeah, exactly. Yeah, this is...
01:41:14
Speaker
a lot of fun to be had a lot of fun. Absolutely. Running around town. Yep. Yeah. And kind of to Sean's comment earlier in this episode about like how being kind of going against everybody is what makes it exciting. They really get to do that in the next episode. Oh my gosh, for real. but They are going against the whole department. Yeah. i Get some getaway driver guests. Yes. yeah Oh my gosh, such a good one. So much happened. I'm thinking of- So excited. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait to talk you about it. It's going to be fun. Yeah. And if you want to join us back here to talk about it too, we'll be back here next week to talk about season two, episode nine of the Fame TV show, Psych.
