10. The Break Up

Complete story — includes the ending

In a video log, Shawn details not only his final case of the series, but also his decision to move to San Francisco to be with Juliet, one that he doesn't know how to divulge to Gus. This final case involves a man ( Billy Zane ) suspected of murdering his business partner, which initially proves difficult to solve since Brannigan ( Mira Sorvino ) is outpacing Shawn at every turn. The case is solved with an assist from Henry, who has become a criminology professor. In the end, Gus, Woody, Henry, Lassiter, and the previously unseen Dobson ( Val Kilmer ) all receive a DVD featuring Shawn saying goodbye. Buzz McNab is made junior detective and becomes Brannigan's partner. Henry decides to take over the Psych office. Lassiter decides to break his DVD before Shawn confesses that he is not psychic. Shawn tracks Juliet to a crime scene in San Francisco where he also reunites with Vick, and Gus has also followed him there after stealing their old high school's driver's ed car. Shawn and Gus agree to move the Psych office to San Francisco, though Vick tells him that they already have a consultant who is busy "alphabetizing the pantry" (a deliberate reference to Adrian Monk ). Shawn proposes to Juliet, but after she accepts, his grandmother's ring is stolen, and the episode and series ends with Shawn, Gus, and Juliet chasing the thief in the driver's ed car. Note: This episode serves as the series finale; however, Psych: The Movie, which was released on USA Network in December 2017, picked up plot threads from the series finale in real time. The first movie was followed nearly three years later by a sequel, which also picked up from the first movie in real time.
