In the Psycheverse
Psyche treats deception as a multivalent force—sometimes a survival tool (the fox spirit outwitting patriarchal danger), sometimes a moral failing (the caller's manipulative ex), and sometimes an archetype worth examining (Lilith's seductive duality). The show examines both deception *as practiced* (infiltrators, liars in the community) and deception *as story* (folklore, tarot, astrology), asking what truths hide beneath the surface.
