Wow, just wow. If you have watched the season six finale of Psych you are probably left in the dark and biting your nails about this one. What happened to Henry Spencer? Did his ex colleague kill him? Could it be possible that Henry Spencer dies on Psych? After all, he retired, and was leaving his past behind.
Let´s analyze it a little more.
The show is a dramedy, so it has some parts of drama, but I don´t want it to go to the dark place of Henry Spencer dying. After all, they couldn´t even kill off Desperaux or Shawn wouldn´t make it, I can´t imagine what would happen if Henry Spencer dies.
But it can also mean it will force Shawn to deal with it, and after all, How I Met Your Mother, a sitcom managed to take the death of a parent and work it.
On the other hand, such a cliffhanger leaves me with the hopes that Henry Spencer is alive and maybe spends a season in the hospital recovering, Perhaps Jerry shot Henry in the shoulder and it´s not a fatal wound; maybe Shawn gets in time as to rush him to the hospital and save him.
Also, losing Corbin Bernsen would mean the end of the flashbacks, meaning they should also cut Young Shawn and Young Gus. And lose another classic part of the show.
My bet is that Henry Spencer is alive on Psych. What´s yours? Head to the comments and discuss wether Henry Spencer is dead or alive on Psych season seven.
Update: On October 17th Promo Video for the upcoming season of Psych, there´s one second in which you can see Henry is alive and well… You don´t believe me? Watch ot yourself.

I bet he will be fine. I did find it odd he was laying on the ground without moving. If I was shot I’d probably be screaming or dead
Or playing dead as to not get shot again
i think that shawn will get in time to take his father to the hospital, and also this will get shawn and juliet closer together
I kinda got the impression that he won’t die… But I’m willing to bet that Shawn becomes a cop after that. He was hinting at it with Henry’s old police hat, saying that he used to imagine himself being the best cop ever. I don’t know, but probably it results in Henry not dying, just in a coma or something.
I think Henry is going undercover for something and his death will be faked. Even Shawn will have to believe he is dead for his own protection
I really am hoping that he doesn’t die. I knew the cliffhanger wouldn’t be w/Juliet in trouble (like the promos made it look) but I wasn’t expecting Henry to get shot. While watching the last few minutes of the Henry & Shawn scene, I was thinking maybe they’d have Shawn say he was thinking about becoming a cop & joining the force. I’m going to hate having to wait until fall to see what happens.
I’m worried that the show might end up taking a serious turn. Till the fifth season at least, the show’s generally been kinda funny; I mean, sure there have been dramatic parts (like the Yin/Yang stuff), but still, it’s mostly been funny. This season I noticed there were quite a few serious (and maybe somewhat disturbing) moments, like with Lassiter’s new girlfriend, and with Lassiter’s new apartment, and then of course, the finale. My concern is that next season, they may show Henry dead, or as folks have mentioned in previous posts, Shawn in the hospital beside his dad intending to avenge his dad’s shooting or murder, Shawn trying to be a cop, him trying to be more mature with respect to his relationship with Juliet etc. I just don’t think that sort of change fits his personality though. Maybe he needs to learn and be more mature, but then I’d miss the playful Shawn. And Psych wouldn’t quite be as much fun to watch.
I don´t think it´s going the drama route.
I think Henry is dead. Mostly because of the way the show ended and the fact he was shot at very close range. But just because Henry is dead I don’t think the flashbacks need to end. I even think Henry being gone makes the flashback moments more compelling. Losing his father will force Shawn to face responsibilities that so far he has been avoiding as well as test his relationships with Juliet and Gus. Shawn’s character has been constantly maturing throughout the show and I would not be surprised if Season 7 is the end for Psych.
I think Henry is dead- It sucks, but that’s my guess.
*Enter what PineapplePower said*
But I don’t know if they will be able to keep it so funny. I can picture the next scene in fall- Shawn comes running up the beach and the other guy gets lost in a hurry. Shawn’s in shock and then he realizes his dad’s dead…
I don’t believe he’d become a cop- but then if he did, he would hunt down that guy and avenge Henry Spencer’s death.
I can wait till Fall! What a long wait. Sucks.
If Henry dies, Spencer will obviously feel ruined, and responsible if he comes to late. He might have to step down as psychic because being in the job reminds him of his dad and he needs outside help. It will test his friendships. His mom will probably come back. But it might also make him want to solve the case more and do more in his dad’s memory. He might become an officer.
If Henry lives, Spencer might become an officer. He will appreciate everyone in his life more. He might propose to Juliet and it might bring Henry and Maddy closer. I’m hoping very much that Psych doesn’t kill of Henry because if they do i might stop watching.
I think that Henry is dead. I don’t like it, but I think that is the way it is going. I think it will make Shawn a more serious character and I don’t know how that will affect the show. What I am imagining is something along the lines of the format used with Dexter. I think they may continue to use Henry in flashbacks to give the audience clues about things Shawn has learned from Henry. I also think they may use Henry has an adviser for Shawn, drawn from Shawn’s own mind.
I hope he’s a live to but the way they set it up him leaving the force again Shawn finally respecting him and telling him so there at the end suggest that his character was at an ending point…
He is not dead I saw a copy of the script for a later episode of season seven and he is alive and getting hit on a by a woman…haha good ole Henry
Elmer
Please tell us more about it. How did you get the script. What happens then? Something.
@Julie, April 12th….
I think Henry is going undercover for something and his death will be faked….
Dead on… remember the file at the end? Someone was trying hard to bury it? Who?
The show has taken on a more serious turn since season 4. I remember seasons 1-3 had much brigther lighting, but now, all of the lighting seems to be dim to establish a more dramatic atmosphere. Also, aside from Shawn’s growth in maturity, Juliet has changed A LOT since the first season. She is not the cheery, blond she used to be back in season 3. Along with her darker hair comes a more serious role. I still really like the show, but I do miss the lighter episodes with more comedy, a cheerier Juliet and the brighter lighting to match.
As far as Henry getting shot, many of you raised some good points. I will need to see the finale again to see about the file buried and determine whether his death is an undercover scheme. If Corbin is really trying to leave the show, I’m not sure if he will really dedicate his time to film the flashbacks.
I can really see this finale as a set-up for the last season of Psych, since Shawn’s guiding father will be gone and this would symbolize he is growing into maturity. I really hope Henry’s alive though!
henry is alive. corbin bernsen is on the season 7 casting
I think that Henry will die,however he may appears as a ”ghost” to Shawn who will give advice to him like Harry Morgan does in Dexter.
I hope he’s not dead. But then again I’ve been surprised with turn of events on the show with its passed. Also, I think he is alive because the show has never really had a “cliffhanger” at the end of a season. So I truly believe it’ll just end up with Henry in a coma or something.
First off, WHAT THE HELL STEVE?! why would you do this to us? Secondly, if Henry did die then it would not mean the end of the flashbacks, they’re flashback, meaning they happened before. And lastly you just should not kill off a major character like Henry Spencer, as Gus would say “That’s messed up.”
I think he will still be alive
He doesn’t die. My friend’s dad work for psych and I know the kid that is little Shawn
a possibility is that since Henry was reinstated he might have been wearing a bullet proof vest. that or something in his pocket stopped the bullet
Espero que no muera, porque el es estupendo. Ademas cambiaria la serie, no seria tan divertida y pasaria a ser de las tipicas series de policia con drama.
Henry Spencer is too smart a cop to go in without a vest or some kind of out. His two friends were already implicated in corruption…he would definitely suspect the third friend.
i hope shawn and juliet get married.
Two words: bulletproof vest
I hope he’s not dead. It looked like his “friend” shot him twice but I’m thinking he was wearing a bullet proof vest.
As Gus wold say, ” Come on son!”
they wouldn’t just kill him. Corbin Bernson is probably the best actor on the show. if he dies, ALOT of people would stop watching Psych.
Henry is my Fav!
there’s no way Henry is dead he is too much a part of the show and the who point of the show is how henry got shawn to where he is today that what lil shawn and gus do
You never know with Psych. They have done some stuff that made us go wait what? Since he Yen-Yang thing ended….(dont count on it)… they need another outlet of drama in the show now. I say either Henry dies something really dramatic happens from him being shot.
I bet Henry is alive he is prob just in a coma.
I think hes dead because he retired right before he was shot and because the dude who shot him was a former cop so he would dump the body in the water, so but he might be alive?
I think henry is dead, they way they have him in that promo just says ghost comforting shawn to carry on with him gone. shawns not paying any attention to his hand on his shoulder in the promo
Dude if anyone has comcast the discribe it with saying “Shawn gets revenge for Henry’s shooting now I get that could mean get revenge for almost killing him or getting so hurt but still it’s a 50 50 chance but still.THINK.
Quit the crap Henry thought his friend was his friend at the time so why put on a bullet roof vest and for anyone who has comcast the describe it by saying this “Shawn looks for revenge for Henry’s shooting I know that could mean for being hurt so much or even for almost killing him
I think that Henry may die, but that doesn’t mean the flashbacks would have to end. I think the show is winding up anyway, so having this happen and forcing Shawn to be more mature would be good for the show.
I hope he is alive, but if they would like to make season 7 as the last season, then Henry probably died.
Did you hear about pluto? That’s messed up 😛
