What Season 2 of Psych

The second season picks up from an established setup. Shawn Spencer keeps faking trances and visions so the Santa Barbara police will take his tips seriously, and Gus Guster, far more cautious, is forced to play along. Together they get involved in very different cases, from a horse race to a talent contest or a stolen car. The officers distrust Shawn, Lassiter above all, and the department has to prove its methods are worth more than those of a federal psychic. Chief Vick asks for help with a personal matter, and Henry, Shawn's father, joins the investigations. Gus also has problems at home, because his family makes his holidays complicated.
