If all this sounds familiar, that’s because the entire episode is a remake of the Season 1 episode "[[Recap/PsycheS01E12CloudyWithAChanceOfMurder Cloudy... With a Chance of Murder]]".

''Season 8, Episode 3''
!Remake, AKA Cloudy… With a Chance of Improvement
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/remake.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Objection! Irrelevant, and inadmissible!" "Sustained." "Really?"]]
-> Directed by Andy Berman
-> Written by Andy Berman
It’s 2006 again. Shawn and Juliet are still not a thing, Shawn’s relationships with Henry and Lassiter are still rocky at best, and Psych is still in its first year of business.
While at the Santa Barbara courthouse, Shawn and Gus run into Sandra Panitch, a preschool teacher accused of murdering a local TV weatherman named Jackson Hale after a romantic fling. Shawn believes she’s innocent, but her insecure, disheveled lawyer Adam Hornstock isn’t doing much to help her case. Prosecutor Logan Phelps seems to have a guilty verdict in the bag. Psych jumps on the case as legal consultants, and despite a lack of legal training and knowledge, they soon discover a lot of shenanigans going on behind the scenes at Hale’s TV station.
If all this sounds familiar, that’s because the entire episode is a remake of the Season 1 episode "[[Recap/PsycheS01E12CloudyWithAChanceOfMurder Cloudy... With a Chance of Murder]]".
!!Tropes:
* CallForward: Woody, who wasn’t introduced until season 4, appears in a minor role as a witness on the stand.
* CastingGag: The show recreates the ColdOpen from the original episode, with Henry taking little Shawn to a courthouse and teaching him about how to work a jury… but since both actors playing “Young Shawn” had either aged out of the role or weren’t available (the flashback-to-Shawn’s-youth style openings had ended a couple seasons prior), the clock is wound back to 1981 and Shawn is still a baby.
* DenserAndWackier: A bit more than the original episode, due to the show putting more emphasis on comedy as it went along.
* GroinAttack: While reporting on a charity event, Mr. Leonard gets punched between the legs for no apparent reason by a small child who comes out of nowhere.
* HisNameIs: Ruben Leonard protests his innocence, but adds that he can tell them who the real killer is… just before dropping dead from poison.
* HoldingTheFloor: After Shawn discovers the identity of the real killer, he tells Gus (who’s already at the courthouse) to stall the proceedings until he can get there. Gus launches into speeches from several famous courtroom films, confusing the judge.
* ImaginaryLoveTriangle: [[Spoiler: Morty killed Hale because he believed Connie was cheating on him with Hale. In reality, Hale’s tryst was with Sandra. When he discovered his mistake, Morty pinned the murder on Sandra and fled.]]
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Gus and Shawn get in a brief debate about remakes, and grumble about how so many of them are so awful, particularly the ones that try to remake classics… but give some leeway to remakes of works that had promise, but failed to deliver. According to Creator/JamesRodayRodriguez, they chose to remake this episode because they considered the original to be the weakest of the series.
* ReallyGetsAround: Jackson Hale apparently slept with just about anyone who was willing… and there were plenty who were willing.
* TheRemake: The entire thing is a remake of an earlier episode.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Husband-and-wife newscaster team Connie and Morty Camp play this up in front of the camera, but their marriage is seriously rocky behind the scenes.
* RevisedEnding: The original episode had the killer revealed to be a mentally-unstable studio worker who killed Hale in a fit of passion. [[spoiler: This time around, the killer is another newscaster, who thought his wife was cheating on him with Hale.]]
* YouLookFamiliar: Deliberately invoked. Nearly every character in the episode is played by an actor who already appeared on the show in a different role.
