[[Steve Franks]] continued to act as [[showrunner]] of the series. The song "I Know, You Know," performed by The Friendly Indians, was used once again as the show's theme song, though it was edited three times for theme episodes: "[[The Amazing Psych-Man & Tap Man|The Amazing Psych-Man & Tap Man, Issue #2]]" utilized a comic book-style theme song and title sequence. A classic jazz variation was used in "[[Heeeeere's Lassie]]" while the theme used in the season four episode "[[High Top Fade Out]]" was used once more in "[[Let's Doo-Wop It Again]]."

[[Mel Damski]] returned to the series once again to direct three episodes, while Steve Franks and [[James Roday]] directed two each. [[John Badham]], Andy Berman, [[Andrew Bernstein (director)|Andrew Bernstein]], [[Jay Chandrasekhar]], David Crabtree, and [[Reginald Hudlin]] directed one episode each, while [[Timothy Busfield]], [[Jennifer Lynch]], and [[Brad Turner (director)|Brad Turner]] made their ''Psych'' directorial debuts in one episode each. Andy Berman, Todd Harthan, and Saladin K. Patterson wrote three episodes for the season. Kell Cahoon, [[Bill Callahan (producer)|Bill Callahan]], Steve Franks, Tim Meltreger, and James Roday returned to the writing staff to pen two episodes each.

| ShortSummary = As Juliet's birthday approaches, Shawn takes it upon himself–due to his own daddy issues–to reunite her with her estranged father Frank O'Hara ([[William Shatner]]) without taking the time to learn that he's a con-man. Not wanting Juliet to be resentful, Shawn hires Frank to assist them in a case involving a safe cracker who was broken out of jail and is attempting to steal a rare coin from an expo run by Sheldon Gates ([[Marc Evan Jackson]]). While Frank's knowledge proves useful, his true motives come out.

| ShortSummary = A woman named Nicole ([[Diora Baird]]) claims to have witnessed a murder, yet everyone–except for Gus–is having trouble believing her story, and it takes an attempt on her life to make her story credible. Even Juliet is fired at when she is mistaken for Nicole. Shawn and Gus take Nicole to her commune to protect her, which they realize is a cult after meeting its charismatic leader ([[Diedrich Bader]]). As usual, Gus' tendency to fall hard for women has consequences: he forgets about the case and [[Drinking the Kool-Aid|devotes all his time to the cult]].

List of episodes

The sixth season of Psych, consisting of 16 episodes, premiered on the USA Network in the United States on October 12, 2011 and continued to air until April 11, 2012. James Roday, Dulé Hill, Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Corbin Bernsen and Kirsten Nelson all reprised their roles as the main characters.

Production

[edit]

Steve Franks continued to act as showrunner of the series. The song "I Know, You Know," performed by The Friendly Indians, was used once again as the show's theme song, though it was edited three times for theme episodes: "The Amazing Psych-Man & Tap Man, Issue #2" utilized a comic book-style theme song and title sequence. A classic jazz variation was used in "Heeeeere's Lassie" while the theme used in the season four episode "High Top Fade Out" was used once more in "Let's Doo-Wop It Again."

Mel Damski returned to the series once again to direct three episodes, while Steve Franks and James Roday directed two each. John Badham, Andy Berman, Andrew Bernstein, Jay Chandrasekhar, David Crabtree, and Reginald Hudlin directed one episode each, while Timothy Busfield, Jennifer Lynch, and Brad Turner made their Psych directorial debuts in one episode each. Andy Berman, Todd Harthan, and Saladin K. Patterson wrote three episodes for the season. Kell Cahoon, Bill Callahan, Steve Franks, Tim Meltreger, and James Roday returned to the writing staff to pen two episodes each. Carlos Jacott joined the series to write one episode.

The season contained Indiana Jones, "Bull Durham", and Chinatown tributes, along with a Shining-themed episode.[1] Series star Dulé Hill discussed the possibility of having another Twin Peaks themed episode, which would be a sequel to the season 5 episode "Dual Spires."[2] A musical episode was also planned, but was later confirmed to be on hold until the seventh season.[1][3] Another theme episode revolving around the film Clue was also announced, but was later pushed back to the seventh season as well.[1] Production for the season began in late March, 2011.[4]

Cast

[edit]
Main article: List of Psych characters

Cary Elwes returned as Despereaux for an Indiana Jones-themed episode. Jaleel White returned as Gus's former bandmate, Tony. Kenan Thompson was expected to return as Joon, another bandmate, but he did not appear; this disappearance was referenced in "Let's Doo-Wop It Again."[5][6] Kristy Swanson appeared as Marlowe Viccellio, a mysterious woman who catches Lassiter's eye; she reprised her role in a later episode. Max Gail made his first appearance as Jerry Carp, one of Henry's cop friends. Carlos Jacott returned to the series, but appeared in a different role than in his season one appearance.

801"Shawn Rescues Darth Vader"Steve FranksSteve FranksOctober 12, 2011 (2011-10-12)60013.00[7]
While working a case that involves sneaking into the home of a British ambassador (Malcolm McDowell) to retrieve an item, a Darth Vader figure, Shawn discovers a dead body and places his credibility as a psychic in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Lassiter confronts Shawn and Juliet over their relationship, even using a lie detector to get to the truth.

A local drug syndicate known as the Caminos falls under attack by a masked vigilante called The Mantis (Miles Fisher), and Lassiter is soured by this since The Mantis has already made more progress than the police.

As Juliet's birthday approaches, Shawn takes it upon himself–due to his own daddy issues–to reunite her with her estranged father Frank O'Hara (William Shatner) without taking the time to learn that he's a con-man. Not wanting Juliet to be resentful, Shawn hires Frank to assist them in a case involving a safe cracker who was broken out of jail and is attempting to steal a rare coin from an expo run by Sheldon Gates (Marc Evan Jackson).

A woman named Nicole (Diora Baird) claims to have witnessed a murder, yet everyone–except for Gus–is having trouble believing her story, and it takes an attempt on her life to make her story credible. Even Juliet is fired at when she is mistaken for Nicole. Shawn and Gus take Nicole to her commune to protect her, which they realize is a cult after meeting its charismatic leader (Diedrich Bader). As usual, Gus' tendency to fall hard for women has consequences: he forgets about the case and devotes all his time to the cult.

They are joined by a major fan of Shawn and Gus and overzealous murder expert (French Stewart) as they delve into the underground culture of Santa Barbara, which leads them to believe not only that it was murder, but that their killer is closer than they realize.

In the course of the investigation, Henry learns some disturbing information about two of his former partners, and decides to retire again permanently from police work as a result. When another former associate, Jerry Carp (Max Gail) inadvertently reveals he too was involved in those activities, Jerry shoots Henry in the chest at point-blank range.
