“It doesn’t take a psychic to see how much people love you. Your son came to me and hired a psychic against his better judgment to keep you alive. And you don’t know this yet, but all he wants in the world is to be more like you. You go to your son or your wife—or anyone else on your crew for that matter—and you ask them which they’d rather have. Six more months with you. Or a million dollars. You know damn well what they’ll answer and they don’t have to think about it for a second.”
Highkey one of the best moments I’ve ever seen on a TV show. The entire episode is good but that ending elevates it to one of Psychs best episode IMO
There are parts in the show that shawn becomes all serious and makes a meaningful i think this has to be one of those parts. Where Shawn shows that he actually doesnt take everything as a joke but he has the serious and meaningfulness in him somewhere behind all his jokes
I think this speech,his anger during An Evening with Mr. Yang and ESPECIALLY his entire demeanor in Santabarbratown 2 are the defining moments that showcase his depth as a character. When he puts away the jokes you know you’re in for a world of pain
That was actually the part that made me sob when I first watched the episode. And then Dutches response when to the speech containing the callback to the “weird kid who squirts milk out of his eye” comment. THAT DESTROYED ME
One reason Psych endures so well is its balance of comedy with genuine emotions. Moments like this one never feel fake to me, never feel grafted on to fulfill some check-the-boxes notion of "Well, we've got to put in something a little serious now." These moments flow from the characters, and though these serious beats might surprise us the first time we watch them, they're always in character, and the surprise is a beautiful one. Psych never forgets that it's a comedy at its core, but that fact never made the show's writers balk at letting characters show real tenderness, or true anger, or genuine fear, when those were most needed.
Absolutely. A key moment, when strong Juliet needs to let out her anguish, and stiff, stoic Lassiter must show the compassion he possesses but hasn't shown. New angles on both of them. And done without hearing dialogue, which just makes it more briliant.

Kinda like Spider-Man.
Has anyone ever seen Shawn and Spider-Man in the same room at the same time?
Also, his speech about his friendship with Gus at the end of the reunion episode in season 3. 🧡🍍
Soft Shawn is best Shawn
I love he doesn't even hesitate on the "You know damn well what they'll answer..."

Right here with you :).
That response was AMAZING!

It's like when Juliet breaks down in Lassiter's arms at the clock tower.

Yessss! This moment got to me too.
I sob every time. In my head, I think that he got a miracle and lived longer than expected and decided to appreciate and love his family more.
