Psych: Talk Derby to Me

****Spoilers Possible ***

I can’t post the videos anymore because they come up a week later now. When it is up you can go to Hulu.com to watch it.

Last night’s episode of Psych was a very good one in my opinion. The story centered around a burglary case. Shawn is called in to help out on the case and he determines that the people who perpetrated the crime were on roller skates.

So we get an undercover episode with Juliette in the role of the undercover officer. She goes undercover at the roller derby. We learn early on that some of the women on Juliette’s team were the ones who are the criminals. They hit a department store and took a bunch of piddly things, but that wasn’t why they were there. That reveal happened much later where we find that they were stealing identities.

This episode was really a big focus on Juliette and her role as a detective on the Santa Barbara PD. She takes her job very seriously and dives right into her work. Apparently she was a decent roller skater and she even gets pretty mean on the track, breaking someone else’s nose. I did enjoy the parts where Lassiter wanted to go undercover and Chief Vick basically put the kibosh on that because of his previous undercover exploits.

Shawn worked very well with Juliette because well, he is in love with her. She has some feelings for him too but keeps that pretty close to the vest. She sees how he is with other women, at least in past seasons he was a bit of a player, that has been toned down. No, he has fallen hard for Jules and even went out of his way to make her a fancy dinner.

Gus was pretty much in the background this episode because he was studying for a pharmaceutical exam, which Shawn took on his behalf. That was pretty funny especially because Gus’ password is “Chocolate Thunder”. Too funny.

The best part of the episode was the very end where “couples skate” started and Shawn tried to hold Juliette’s hand. Oh, she certainly has some feelings for him for sure. Next week is the summer season finale of Psych and Lumberg himself, Gary Cole, is coming to the show as a guest star.

Geckos back on the blog, that means that I’m back in Florida. Yes, today started my vacation, a two week, no work, all play vacation!

The day came very early. I couldn’t sleep at all so at 2:30 I got out of bed, spent from 2:30-4:00 watching TV/playing Mario Kart Wii. At 5:00am we headed to the airport. Dad rode along with us to take the car back. We flew Southwest and had an excellent time, quick check in, quick security, we even had our own row. Very good experience.

Eva was great on the plane. She is so well behaved. So many people commented on how good she was. Of course, to us she was a non stop handful. I think I was able to read one page of my book, take Eva play for a while hand her back to Allison. She had a snack trap and enjoyed picking out her puffs. She figured it out very quickly, too.

When we arrived Grandpa Dano was there to pick us up. We headed home, had lunch and then I went over to the pool to officially start my vacation. 2 1/2 hours of music, reading and pool time. It was great. While I was there I watched the curly tail geckos run all over.

Eva received a really nice new toy from Grandpa Dano and Mimi. It is called the Fisher-Price Stack and Roll Cups. They say 6+ months. Eva loves the toy and I enjoyed playing with it too. You can stack the cups, fit them together to roll them, nest them and even count them. They are colorful and fun. Eva found a different place to put them though.

Tomorrow we are headed to the Palm Beach Zoo.
