To the reviewer that said she didn't know the female actress..... She was in bourne identity, kinda what makes the whole episode funny, especially as they reference the bourne movies so much. And as to the second reviewer about no embassy, do you know that there isn't a psychic consultant helping out the Santa Barbara police also? Sheesh.... Making a place that doesn't exist makes sure you don't get sued or offend countries..... But it's a crazy fun episode and especially memorable due to the fact Juliet really sees how much Shawn likes her....

A well-written episode, with refer-backs to previous episodes such as the connection with Juliet's brother (Ewan O'Hara), continued relationship with Declan, included for all his resources/knowledge, etc. It is important for more "intelligent" shows to have the audience listen to get the connections/meanings of what is said.

And for goodness sake, the beauty of Nadia (Franka Potente) as a high-energy spy, kicking ass, with subtle humor ... wonderful.

Strabinsky (John Gries) just awesome as the other spy. The jokes were hysterical. The silly discussions of his door, wiping feet, power consumption, pool, threats, missing Shawn and Gus ... the writers and actors did a fantastic job.

It also shows one of the few "Serious Shawn Moments", which better shows his love of Juliet, which was cleverly knitted into the script.

Paraphrasing, "Don't take pictures of sites, take pictures of moments"... wow, that is a truism, which is lost on many people in real life.

Great episode.

I've seen comments about this episode and others not being technically accurate. The whole series is not technically accurate. However that isn't the point. It is meant to be entertaining. Yes, it wasn't even filmed in Santa Barbara, anything to do with firearms is terribly incorrect, and a slurry of other technically inaccurate statements. This isn't MythBusters (love that show) to debunk inaccuracies (MythBusters were terribly ignorant in many things, such as "what is bulletproof", even unknowingly risking their own lives because of someone's ignorance).

Psych is a comedy show.
