‘Psych’ Season 7 Episode 10: “The Santabarbarian Candidate”

On this week’s Psych season 7, episode 10, “The Santabarbarian Candidate,” after the Mayor dies in what appears to be a surfing accident, Shawn investigates and ends up running for mayor himself.

The series is a quick-witted comedy/drama starring James Roday as young police consultant Shawn Spencer who solves crimes with powers of observation so acute that Santa Barbara PD detectives think he’s psychic. Psych also stars Dule Hill as Shawn’s best friend and reluctant sidekick, Gus, and Corbin Bernsen as his disapproving father, Henry, who ironically was the one who honed his son’s “observation” skills as a child. Also featured are Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson and Kirsten Nelson. Using his charm and well-tuned talent, Shawn convinces the cops that he’s actually a psychic, and although highly skeptical of his explanation, they hire him to help solve tough cases. With the reluctant assistance of his best friend Gus, Shawn uses his skills of observation and charismatic personality to become the detective he was trained to be, opening his own PI agency – Psych – and solving cases for an ever-suspicious, but grudgingly impressed, police force.

Psych season 7, episode 10, “The Santabarbarian Candidate,” airs May 1, at 10-11 p.m. ET on the USA Network. Spoiler video below:
