** [[GentlemanThief Pierre Despereaux]] is a notoriously elusive art thief who commits two successful thefts in his first appearance despite Shawn's best efforts to stop him. When Shawn exposes his thefts as an insurance fraud scheme, he is inspired to commit the "perfect crime", which Despereaux pulls off by inviting Shawn and Gus to prison, stowing himself away with them, committing the theft, and returning to prison with only the Psych duo being aware of what he did. In his third appearance, Despereaux helps the duo steal a dagger--a key to a "core collection" of art--and fakes his death by blowing up his escape speedboat. He makes his death seem authentic by changing his DNA database information to that of an [[BodyDouble unidentified body]] he was holding onto. After helping the duo find the "core collection", Despereaux steals one of the paintings and restores the more valuable Rembrandt painting underneath it. His last appearance reveals him to be an INTERPOL agent named Royston Staley, but it is indicated that Despereaux [[TheMole infiltrated the organization]] and rose up the ranks. It is left ambiguous as to whether Staley was real or Despereaux fooled the duo once again.
** "[[Recap/PsychS06E04TheAmazingPsychManAndTapManIssueNo2 The Amazing Psych-Man & Tap-Man, Issue #2]]": Reginald Parker is a reporter who moonlights as a Batman-esque vigilante called "The Mantis". Under this alter ego, he targets and fights members of the Camino Drug Syndicate, tying them up and leaving them for the police to find. It later turns out that he wanted to take the syndicate down, not for the greater good, but for their drug money, which was worth $10 million. However despite his intentions, he sincerely thanks Shawn for helping him, even offering him some of the cash as a gesture of gratitude.
** "[[Recap/PsychS06E07InForAPenny In For A Penny...]]": Frank O'Hara is a con man and Juliet's estranged father. Initially coming to Santa Barbara to reconnect with his daughter, he also takes the opportunity to plan a heist on the fly - stealing a rare bronze penny and framing another group of thieves for it, all while pretending to help the SBPD prevent the theft. When Shawn figures out that he stole the coin and threatens to tell Juliet, he plants it in the suspects hotel room with no one in the department any the wiser. After Juliet finds out what he did and chews him out, Frank apologizes by revealing that he did show up for "all the important moments in her life" (Only hiding because he thought her stepfather was doing a good job as is), and redeems himself by coming up with the plan to catch the thieves at the end of the episode.

I moved some YMMV tropes which were originally located on the character page to here. I'll also move the Acceptable Targets entries to the main page; it's no longer a YMMV trope, though I'll remove a couple of entries because the trope applies to a group of people.

* FridgeBrilliance: Shawn keeps "hypothetically typecasting" Gus as minor black characters in their favorite movies. This starts when he refuses to let Gus be "Goose" in Top Gun. That's because "Goose" is what Shawn's mother calls him.
** In "Juliet Wears the Pantsuit" Henry says he's sorry to Juliette about how things went with her and Shawn. He's not just expressing sympathy, he's apologizing for his part in keeping up Shawn's lie. As much as he can with Lassiter present, anyway.
** Shawn's general tendencies in Season 4 to get a lot of details wrong and generally come off as more of an IdiotHero than before: he's a lot more prideful after capturing Santa Barbara's most notorious serial killer, and thus has an inflated ego. He then goes through a BreakTheHaughty thanks to Mr. Yin and his pride returns to pre-Yang levels in the following seasons.
** How did Allison Cowley know that picture was of Yang and a young Shawn? She only knows Shawn from the news coverage of the Yin/Yang case, which wouldn't have included pictures from childhood. [[spoiler:She couldn't unless Yin told her.]]
** Remake [=AKA=] Cloudy... With A Chance Of Improvement... is widely regarded to be generally a terrible episode, does nothing to improve on the story and keeps the Flanderization present in later seasons. Which is the ''point''. Shawn and Gus often complain about how movie remakes are usually bad copies of the originals, with pointless celebrity cameos and slipshod writing. It's one of the most meta jokes the show's made.
* FridgeHorror:
** In "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark," Gus plays a voicemail from Shawn for the detectives to give them the only clue to what had happened to Shawn. In this voicemail, Shawn mentions that he'd solved the case, but fortunately doesn't give any incriminating not-psychic details. But what if he had? Gus would have been forced to choose between saving his best friend's life by playing the tape, and keeping his secret by withholding potentially crucial information.
** In ''Juliet Takes a Luvvah'', Shawn accuses a family man of being the killer, causing his wife to throw his belongings out of the house while he is dragged away by the police - all while his kids are watching. We don't linger on it for too long as he turns out to be innocent, but Shawn's mistake might have done permanent damage to that family.
* FridgeLogic:
** In "Tuesday the 17th," the initial case turns out to be a prank being pulled on Shawn. But those involved ''continued'' the prank after Shawn calls in Juliet, who is ready to shoot the killer if he appears...

In this voicemail, Shawn mentions that he'd solved the case, but fortunately doesn't give any incriminating not-psychic details. But what if he had? Gus would have been forced to choose between saving his best friend's life by playing the tape, and keeping his secret by withholding potentially crucial information.
** In ''Juliet Takes a Luvvah'', Shawn accuses a family man of being the killer, causing his wife to throw his belongings out of the house while he is dragged away by the police - all while his kids are watching. We don't linger on it for too long as he turns out to be innocent, but Shawn's mistake might have done permanent damage to that family.
* FridgeLogic:
** In "Tuesday the 17th," the initial case turns out to be a prank being pulled on Shawn. But those involved ''continued'' the prank after Shawn calls in Juliet, who is ready to shoot the killer if he appears...

Doesn't stop them from prioritizing cheesy nachos over their own safety.

*** The killer in "This Episode Sucks" has a rare blood condition that requires constant transfusions to survive. But because of this he got cut off from his insurance, not helping that he has an extremely rare blood type (O negative). Desperate to keep living, he forcefully drains the blood from other people with the first "murders" being complete accidents because of loss of blood. The guy is as much a victim of a cold, bureaucratic healthcare system as he is a serial killer.

* MagnificentBastard: [[GentlemanThief Pierre Despereaux]] is a notoriously elusive art thief who commits two successful thefts in his first appearance despite Shawn's best efforts at stopping him. When Shawn exposes his thefts as an insurance fraud scheme, he is inspired to commit the "perfect crime", which he pulls off by inviting Shawn and Gus to prison, stowing himself away with them, committing the theft, and returning to prison with only the Psych duo being aware of what he did. In his third appearance, he helps the duo steal a dagger (a key to a "core collection" of art) and fakes his death by blowing up his escape speedboat. He successfully makes his death seem 100% legitimate by changing his DNA database information to that of an [[BodyDouble unidentified body]] he was holding onto. After helping the duo find the "core collection", he steals one of the paintings and restores the more valuable Rembrandt painting underneath it. His last appearance reveals him to be an INTERPOL agent named Royston Staley, but it is indicated that Despereaux [[TheMole infiltrated the organization]] and rose up the ranks. It is left ambiguous as to whether Staley was real, or whether Despereaux had once again fooled them.
