Psych - The Breakup

After eight years the doors of Psych are closed in the series finale which features Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) working one more murder case while Shawn struggles to tell his best friend that he’s decided to move to San Fransisco to be with Juliet (Maggie Lawson). While offering a typical wacky adventure, “The Breakup” makes several nice nods to the show’s past while showcasing that Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) is in good hands without Juliet, Shawn, and Gus as Betsy Brannigan (Mira Sorvino) proves more than up to the challenge of solving crime without the use of a fake psychic (and her choice of Junior Detective is a nice touch as well).

“Sand dollar.”

Glee - New Directions

Using her friendship with Sue (Jane Lynch) to her advantage, Holly Holiday (Gwyneth Paltrow) convinces McKinley’s principal to give Holly and April Rhodes (Kristin Chenoweth)  one week to try and find a way to “shoehorn music” into the existing clubs following the end of Glee Club. This leads to Holly’s performance of Eddie Murphy‘s “Party All The Time” during a meeting of the school’s Animal Husbandry Club which, of course, fails miserably leaving Will (Matthew Morrison) no choice but admit defeat and close the choir room for the final time (but not before we get a host of new and recreated numbers for the show’s 101st episode and the past and current members of New Directions coming together to create a short film thanking Mr. Shue and offering their look at the teacher who changed their lives for his future daughter or son).
