Psych fans (affectionately known as Psych-Os) are being given a unique opportunity to choose which of three different storylines will make up a special episode of the popular USA Network series. The network’s ordered two additional episodes of the series and fans can vote now on what will take place on one of the episodes, with the results announced at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con.

The Psych gang will be back in San Diego for the fifth time, hosting a midnight screening on July 17th of the “Psych: The Musical” two-hour episode airing this winter as well as presenting a panel on July 18th. The panel will be moderated by Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride) and will feature James Roday, Dulé Hill, Corbin Bernsen, Maggie Lawson, Timothy Omundson, Kirsten Nelson, Steve Franks, Chris Henze, and Kelly Kulchak.

The potential storylines are:

TELETHON -­‐ In a classic “whodunit?” case with a Psych twist, Shawn and Gus investigate a murder that Shawn is convinced was committed by the beloved host of Santa Barbara’s annual Children’s Hospital Telethon. There’s only one problem – the host was seen by hundreds of thousands of people on live television during the exact time the murder occurred elsewhere. Can Shawn steal the show, poke a hole in this rock-­‐solid alibi, and prove the host did it? Or will Shawn fail in front of his biggest audience yet?

DREAM THERAPY -­‐ From acclaimed director James Roday (Mr. Yin Presents…, Heeeeere’s Lassie), comes a new vision in terror: “Nightmare on State Street!” In the episode, an exhausted Gus enters dream therapy to understand the cause of his recent night terrors. But after this, nothing is ever again what it seems… He soon realizes that in dreams, no one can hear you scream!

FOOD TRUCK -­‐ When the well-­‐known owner of a beloved Santa Barbara food truck is mysteriously murdered, Shawn and Gus, fans of delicious flavor, are determined to solve the crime as only they can. They go undercover as proprietors of the PSYCH Naptime Food Truck, and soon discover that the high-­‐profit world of Santa Barbara’s mobile food business is cutthroat, insular, and a place of many secrets – many of them worth killing for.
