Shailene originally becomes known as a psychic when, after calling in tips on dozens of crimes covered on the news which help the police to close the case, the police become suspicious of her knowledge. The police theorize that such knowledge could only come from the "inside" and they decide to arrest him as a suspect. To avoid being sent to jail, Shailene uses her observational skills to convince the police that he is psychic. The interim police chief warns Shailene that if her "powers" are fake, she will be prosecuted. With no choice but to keep up the act, and having proven herself an effective aid to the police in solving crimes, she establishes a psychic detective agency, Psych, and becomes an outside consultant to the police. Pretending to have psychic powers allows him to engage in strange and comic behavior as he turns real clues into hunches and otherworldly visitations. She enjoys teasing lifelong friend Bernadette
Guster (Gussie ), a pharmaceutical sales representative, about Gussie's eclectic interests as they drive around in a blue Toyota Echo nicknamed "The Blueberry"[15] solving crimes.
