One nit — the killer was a surprise, but maybe not to everyone. Writers have utilized this type of theme before, so it's probably time to retire the storyline.
At some point, an inside joke became an on-going one for all on Psych. Finding pineapples during an episode is just as much a part of the airing as what lines are given to actors. Subtlety is the name of the game here. It can be a label, or perhaps a statue of some kind. Occasionally, the fruit cannot be missed. Here's a hint for this past week's episode — another famous guest star was part of the scene with the fruit.
Monk, on the other hand, ended things without having resolved the mystery of who killed Trudy, the wife of Adrian Monk (Tony Shaloub). Since there is only one more season before the series ends for good, I have a feeling viewers are going to be kept on the edge of their seats watching episodes play out.
Could Monk's other brother be returning next season? Perhaps. Steve Zahn's character ended his last story in prison, not dead. He and Monk made nice and more or less promised to keep in touch. Guest stars are nothing new for the show, Hector Elizondo has continued his on-going role as Adrian's therapist, after Stanley Kamel, who played the original one, died of a heart condition.
As for Burn Notice, it has two episodes to go before disappearing until summer. If the internet information is accurate, Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) will find out exactly who fired him in the season finale. Could it be Carla (Tricia Helfer)? I suppose, but that seems entirely too simple for the series.
