Season 1 episode 1 of Psych the USA series is when you meet the main character Shawn Spencer (James Roday) who has a keen eye for the slightest details of everything. Shawn helps the Santa Barbra Police Department (SB PD) solve a case by watching the channel 8 news, but the police don't believe him. They want to know how he does it. He tells the police that he is psychic and can read people for example how he knew Detective Carlton Lassiter aka Lassie (Tim Omundson) was sleeping with his partner. While Shawn is at the police department he notices something about one of the guys in shackles and tells the police about what that man did. Lassie takes Shawn to Intern Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) who is pregnant, in later cases uses Shawn and his partner who had been his best friend since childhood, Burton Guster aka Gus (Dule Hill) as psychic consultants. Since Shawn isn't a real psychic, when he learned that his father, Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernson), who was a retired cop was back living in Santa Barbra, Shawn went to him for help.
