Juliet O'Hara first appears in the show's second episode, "Spellingg Bee", as a recently-transferred junior detective from Miami Beach, replacing Lucinda Barry as Head Detective Carlton Lassiter's partner. Head Detective Carlton Lassiter is a character in the American dramedy Psych played by Timothy Omundson. She was raised in a family of brothers and is shown to be close with both her parents and her siblings. [1] Although she is initially frustrated by her coworkers not taking her seriously enough due to her relatively young age,[2] as the series progresses she is given more responsibility, being left in charge in the absence of Lassiter and Interim Chief Karen Vick and getting her first undercover assignment. Chief Karen Vick (née Dunlap) is a character on the American comedy detective drama Psych played by Kirsten Nelson. [3] She has grown more assertive with her partner, and actors Maggie Lawson and Timothy Omundson (who plays Lassiter) both suggest that a mutual respect has developed between their characters. [4]
Juliet seems to present a gentle counterpoint to Lassiter's gruff, rigid style. She reminds her partner repeatedly to "be sensitive" with the media, the victims, and the witnesses of their cases. Unlike Lassiter, she is friendly with Shawn Spencer and more willing to work with him and Gus. Shawn Spencer is a Fictional character on the American television dramedy Psych played by American actor James Roday. Burton "Gus" Guster is a character on the USA Network television dramedy Psych played by American actor Dulé Hill. Lawson says that, although Juliet is bemused by Shawn at first, she has slowly gained respect for him and by the second season the three have a "very friendly, comfortable relationship". [4] The actress says she thinks that, despite some skepticism, Juliet does believe that Shawn is psychic. [5]
In the second half-season finale, Juliet and Shawn almost kiss, but before their lips meet she tells that it would be a mistake, causing Shawn to substitute some "very close talking. " After the incident, Juliet immediately performs a stress relieving exercise and Shawn smiles as he walks away, both implying that she may be romantically interested in him. [6]
