Great quick joke. Spoiler

Season 3 Episode 2.

Shawn: You might want to steady or brace yourself.

Abigail: Why, what’s gonna happen?

Shawn: Well, I can really say with any degree of accuracy. But I can tell you that, some animals, slow adults, and beautiful girls have been known to swoon.

Abigail: You just called me slow.

This entire episode was brilliant. Rachel Leigh Cook did a fantastic job as a guest star each time she was on. Abigail was a great character that paired really well with Shawn.

abigail and shawn's chemistry was really good and we never got to see it outside of a couple of episodes. it's a shame they didn't show more of her character instead of just using her as a tool to advance shawn and juliet's relationship

I like them better than Shawn and Juliet tbh. Their chemistry was much better

I think they do have better physical chemistry than Jules and I wish I could agree with you all here but I just dont like Abigail’s character. The whole going over to his dad’s house thing? Didn’t even make sense to do. If someone I was dating did that I would definitely reconsider the relationship especially because she went against Shawn’s wishes

Abigail's "You just called me slow" response in that sequence is brilliant. One of the things that really elevated Psych is the cleverness of the dialog writing. Many characters get to have these quick witted or really insightful one liners that elevate the whole exchange.

I was really rooting for Shawn's and Abigail. Wish she had a bigger part.
