List of Psych characters

In the final season of the show, she is offered a job in San Francisco, taking Juliet with her as a new head detective and leaving Lassiter to become the new SBPD chief.

The character makes light of the rotating actors in the role when Tony Cox comments that Shawn and his younger self look nothing alike.

By the fourth season, he has already had two more brushes with death, including being wounded by an exploding mailbox in "Shawn Gets the Yips" (4.05) and knocked unconscious by a serial killer in "Mr. Yin Presents..." (4.16).

In the seventh season episode "Deez Nups", It is revealed that McNab moonlights as a stripper for extra cash.

She first appeared in "Gus's Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy" (2.10) followed by "Christmas Joy" (3.09) and in "A Nightmare on State Street" (8.09).

In the summer finale, "You Can't Handle This Episode" (4.10), Abigail reveals to Shawn that she is moving to Uganda for six months, and that she wants to put their relationship on hold until she visits in February.

In the final scenes of the episode, Shawn, Gus, and Mary's mother are shown attending his racquetball-themed funeral.

Mary also makes another brief appearance in Psych: The Movie in Shawn's dream, during which he performs an acoustic version of "Allison Road" by Gin Blossoms.

It isn't until near the end of the episode that Shawn realizes Mary was trying to give him a hint about who the villain of the movie is: Allison Cowley.

However, Yang says in Mr. Yin Presents..." that she "has the googly eyes" for her "lady guard friend," the woman in charge of escorting visitors to her cell.

He first see Despereaux on the slopes "Extradition: British Columbia" (4.01), when Shawn and Gus travel to Canada for a summer ski trip.

Despereaux finds out about a restaurant where Shawn has dinner reservations and surprises him there, and taunts him by writing out his plans for the rest of his stay in Canada, saying he's never been anywhere close to being caught and he wants to make it more interesting for himself, before promptly slipping away once more.

Despereaux wants to prove he is the "Greatest Thief That Ever Lived" and escapes from prison to commit an elaborate art theft from the Canadian crown prosecutor's house.

For round 3, "Indiana Shawn and the Temple of the Kinda Crappy, Rusty Old Dagger", a valuable shipment of artifacts is stolen from a museum.

The SBPD now believes him to be deceased, though we know this is false, finally making Pierre Despereaux the world class thief that both he and Shawn have always envisioned.

Lock, Stock, Some Smoking Barrels and Burton Guster's Goblet of Fire In "Lock, Stock, Some Smoking Barrels and Burton Guster's Goblet of Fire", Despereaux calls Shawn and Gus to England, where he asks Shawn to pose as a getaway driver in a sting to stop a heist.

Just before the heist begins, Shawn receives a phone call with more information that makes it sound probable that Despereuax is actually Royston Staley as he claims to be, since Interpol would have erased his identity when he went undercover and Royston Staley did exist at one point until his identity was apparently erased by someone at a really high level, and so he feels wrong for having doubted him (and for getting one of the other agents in trouble).

Gus concludes that this means he had been a fake all along, and Despereaux had infiltrated Interpol, hiring the beggar to play his boss to strengthen his ruse.

Shawn suggests that, to the contrary, the Dutch agent could merely be undercover as a beggar in order to uncover some sort of crime ring and Despereaux's story could still be true.

Shawn then suggests (in a way that is true for the viewer as well) that they can choose what to believe--whether Despereaux is really a master criminal who infiltrated Interpol, or whether he really was Staley the undercover agent, leaving the episode, and the man, with an ever-lingering air of mystery.

Dr. Woodrow "Woody" Strode (Kurt Fuller) is the quirky coroner for the Santa Barbara Police Department.

In "Autopsy Turvy" (6.14), it is revealed that in medical school he dated a mortuary cosmetologist named Grace Larsen (Glenne Headly).

Father Peter Westley (Ray Wise) is a priest at a Catholic church and Shawn and Gus' former Sunday School teacher.

He returned in "Dual Spires" (5.12), a homage to Wise's previous television series Twin Peaks, in which he saves the lives of Shawn and Gus.

Marlowe Viccellio Lassiter (Kristy Swanson) is introduced as a murder suspect in "This Episode Sucks" (6.03), in which the SBPD discovers that she has been stealing blood in order to help her dying brother.

Harris Trout (Anthony Michael Hall) is special police consultant whose job is to increase efficiency within the department.

Upon conclusion of Trout's investigation, he suspends Chief Vick for six months due to her failure to run the department appropriately.

In "C. O. G. Blocked" (8.05), during a dialogue exchange between Lassiter and Shawn, it is revealed that, following his firing, Trout was institutionalized for court-ordered psychiatric evaluation due to his reckless behavior, rash decisions, and unjustified anger.

Betsy is sweet, outgoing, and quirky, yet despite her bubbly demeanor, Brannigan is an incredibly skilled investigator and a badass.

Despite her assertion that she works better alone, Lassiter insists she get a partner; Brannigan chooses Buzz McNab, as she believes training the naive junior detective will be a "fun project."
