Ep 15. The Psychic

Starsky and Hutch is an American television police drama series, which ran for four seasons from 1975 to 1979. The show revolves around two detectives, David Starsky, played by Paul Michael Glaser, and his partner Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson, played by David Soul.

In season 2, episode 15, titled "The Psychic," Starsky and Hutch are called upon to investigate a series of murders that appear to be the work of a psychic.

The episode begins with the murder of a doctor named Howard McKinney, who is shot in his own home. The only clue left at the scene of the crime is a tarot card, which suggests to the detectives that the killer may be a psychic.

As the investigation continues, Starsky and Hutch begin to dig deeper into the lives of the victims, and they soon discover that all of them had a connection to a psychic named Claire Delaney, played by actress Meg Foster.

Despite their skepticism, Starsky and Hutch decide to pay Claire a visit to see if she can offer any insight into the case. They are surprised when Claire is able to discern certain details about the case that they had not yet revealed to her.

Despite this, Starsky and Hutch remain skeptical of Claire's abilities, and they begin to suspect that she may somehow be involved in the murders. However, as they continue to investigate, they find that the truth may be more complicated than they initially thought.

In this episode, the audience is presented with the classic dilemma of whether or not to believe in psychic abilities. While Starsky and Hutch are initially skeptical of Claire's claims, they are ultimately forced to confront the possibility that there is more to her abilities than meets the eye.

As with many episodes of Starsky and Hutch, "The Psychic" is notable for its blend of action, drama, and humor. The chemistry between Glaser and Soul is a highlight of the series, and their banter and camaraderie provide a welcome counterpoint to the darker aspects of the story.

Overall, "The Psychic" is a solid episode of Starsky and Hutch that showcases the show's strengths as a police procedural with a healthy dose of humor and character interaction. Whether you believe in psychic abilities or not, this episode is a must-watch for fans of the show.
