Okey-dokey.
That's the end of my turn.
I will now attempt to update the board, taking a guess on the lands you'd be tapping (probably won't matter). Also, I'm pretty sure Forbid goes to the graveyard after being countered for having no legal targets. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Shusher's ability doesn't stop the spell from being a legal target, it just can't be countered. So the buyback still works. For more information go to the Rules forum, I asked about it before trying it out.

CPA Trash Man
Melkor is right. The Forbid returns to his hand. The spell is simply not countered.
