Psych - Somebody's Got a Woody

When a murder suspect (Peter Stormare) breaks into the police station and takes Woody (Kurt Fuller) hostage, Trout (Anthony Michael Hall) organizes the troops for a siege and to prepare to take the morgue by force. Believing his abductor might actually be innocent, Woody convinces Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) to take the case and solve the murder of a recently-released con. And Juliet (Maggie Lawson), not willing to let Trout risk Woody’s life needlessly, puts her own life in danger by pretending to be the coroner’s daughter.

“Troy and Abed in a bubble.”

Community - Geothermal Escapism

And then there were five. In a fitting farewell to Donald Glover (who is leaving the show to concentrate on his his stand-up comedy), Abed (Danny Pudi) gets the entire Greendale community to sign-on for a game of Hot Lava where no student or faculty member is allowed to touch the floor until only a single survivor remains. As expected, Greendale devolves into a bizarre dystopian future in only a couple hours as the entire populace becomes obsessed with winning the game (and the $50,000 Abed puts up for a grand prize), and the various members of the Study Group each find their way to say goodbye to their friend and wish him well on his worldwide adventure.

“We have a bonerfide defense team now.”

Psych - Remake A.K.A. Cloudy... With a Chance of Improvement

While cracking several jokes about unnecessary remakes (and making quips about things we know will come to pass over the show’s eight-year run), Psych turns its attention to unnecessarily remake one of the show’s First Season episodes “Cloudy With a Chance of Murder.” Bringing back some, but not all, of the episode’s original guest-stars (including Michael Weston as the defense attorney in far over his head) while adding in Ralph Macchio, Ray Wise, and Ed Lover, Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) head into the courtroom as legal consultants intent on saving a preschool teacher (Lindsay Sloane) who is charged with the murder of a local weather man (Dana Ashbrook).

“I leave you the obligatory sperm.”

Community - Cooperative Polygraphy

Pierce‘s (Chevy Chase) death, and the unusual terms of his will, bring a scientist (Walton Goggins) with a lie detector test and a set of questions to be answered (to determine if any of Pierce’s friends were responsible for his death) before each member of the Study Group can receive what their departed friend had left them. Although every member of the group realizes the situation is a desperate last attempt for Pierce to cause trouble in the group, lured by the possibility of getting their hands on their friend’s millions, each agrees to participate in the series of questions that will reveal various secrets and disturbing facts about each of their closest friends.

“Our killer is targeting a-holes.”

Psych - S.E.I.Z.E. the Day

Officer Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) psyches himself up to go after the shooter targeting Interim Police Chief Trout (Anthony Michael Hall), even if it requires dying “in a hailstorm of bullets” (something Trout is willing to live with), but when Marlowe (Kristy Swanson) breaks the news about her pregnancy the SBPD’s former Chief Detective finds himself less willing to put his life on the line. Enlisting the help of Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill), who are still banned from working for the department and are struggling with Shawn’s ridiculous new plan to transform himself into a life coach, Lassiter brings in Trout’s mother (Celia Weston) as their leading suspect.
