Psych – “Mr. Yin Present”
Season 4 Finale Review
By Michal – Staff Writer

As soon as Mary Lightly uttered the line, “Yang wasn’t working alone…” I knew I was in for a fun episode. Psych’s fourth season finale, “Mr. Yin Presents,” was an awesome homage to Hitchcock films and used the classic thrillers Psycho, North By Northwest, Vertigo, and Rear Window to frame the new “game” set up my Mr. Yang’s (Ally Sheedy) counterpart Mr. Yin.

I love shows that can bring back a character after nearly an entire season and as a viewer you still not only care about them and are excited by their return. I got far more excited about the reappearance of Mary Lightly (Jimmi Simpson) than I would like to admit, but he was as fun to watch in this episode as last year’s finale.

I don’t want to give too much away, but have to say I was impressed with James Roday’s writing and directing debut. He used the Hitchcock source material well and did a fantastic job of created a tightly paced episode that had tension and suspense in all the right places and was visually reminiscent of the classic flicks the episode draws from.

Overall, “Mr. Yang Presents” is an engaging, twisty episode and a great way to end the season. Each of the main characters gets to shine and it’s going to be a long couple of months until Psych returns this summer!

Don’t forget to tune in Wednesday, March 10th at 10/9C for the Psych season 4 finale!
