Murder! Mayhem! Mystery! Not really, but there was a little bit of mayhem on the part of one Duck Phillips, and mystery in the form of a drug induced hallucination on Betty’s behalf. And one or two great lines that had me dying of laughter, even though this episode was particularly heavy in some parts.

For Deb, one of the perks of waking up in Jane’s body is that it carries money. She takes the morning off to buy a gotta-have dress on Rodeo Drive. Stacy, arriving before her, gets the star treatment, but when Jane comes in, she finds that the sales staff has no interest in being friendly to her and the store, PDQ, doesn’t carry anything over a size 10. After causing a scene, she decides to sue.

When I first made the acquaintance of Zach Selwyn, we were both competing to be the next SportsCenter anchor on ESPN’s short-lived reality series, Dream Job. While I didn’t make it very far, Zach made it all the way to the final four before being infamously – and some still say unfairly – chopped.

But you can’t keep a good man down, and Zach resurged as a correspondent on G4’s popular Attack of the Show, before jumping to host the highly inventive Science Channel series Catch It Keep It.

This week on Psych, our characters take a break from their hectic crime-solving lives to indulge in the great American pastime: baseball. At least that’s their plan, but this being Psych, nothing works out quite the way it’s supposed to. First we see Henry and Shawn practicing fielding the ball, with the help of a shooting range target. Fast forward to the present, and SBPD’s post-game celebration turns into a shoot out.
