Monk hears the scream from the cabin, and gets over to the window just in time to see the lights flickering. He wakes Stottlemeyer up in a panic, and Stottlemeyer falls out, his leg still attached to the bed. The next morning, Monk, Natalie and Stottlemeyer watch Kathy through binoculars.
Monk is certain that Martin is dead, as she's bought about 20 bags full of ice and a brand new radio. She is also listening to country music quite loudly, even though Monk remembers from the conversation he overheard at the store that Martin didn't let her play it in the house.
Natalie suggests that Martin isn't home, but Monk insists that Martin hasn't come out of their cabin all morning, his boat is still moored at their dock, and he did not drive off in their only car. To test Monk's theory, Stottlemeyer calls up the Willoughby cabin under an assumed name, claiming to be looking for Martin.
They catch Kathy in a lie right away as she claims that he is on the lake fishing It's clear as day that she killed Martin and is trying to make his death look like an accident.
Natalie is aghast at this - murder seems to follow Monk everywhere he goes. Randy, meanwhile, enjoys another meal with Hayley, and they break open another set of fortune cookies.
This time, Randy's says he will receive a gift from a rich uncle. Randy says this is impossible, since all of his uncles are deceased; then a messenger arrives with a tax refund from "Good Old Uncle Sam. Stottlemeyer believes Monk's suspicions about Kathy Willowby, and they try to explain their beliefs to Agent Grooms.
Grooms is furious when he learns that they called the Willowby cabin, and he goes so far as to disconnect the phone. In the middle of a driving thunderstorm, Monk sees Kathy pushing Martin's boat out onto the lake, with the body loaded into it. He insists that they have to go to the lake and grab the evidence before it is destroyed. Deciding to check it out, Stottlemeyer waits until Grooms goes to the bathroom to wash up, and "arrests" the doorknob, and he, Monk, and Natalie get into the car, driving towards the cabin as fast as they can.
Unfortunately, they get stuck in a pothole, and they are stranded in a thunderstorm overnight. To cap off their dismal evening, Stottlemeyer finds a surprise birthday cake that Natalie brought for him, which is now mush. As they are trying to ride the storm out, Stottlemeyer reminds Monk about the other occurrences where murders have happened where he goes - including the time he went on vacation , the time he took a plane to Newark , and the stage play. With their ride disabled, Monk, Natalie and Stottlemeyer hike through the woods, trying to find their way to the Willowby cabin.
After several hours, they find a stream to drink from, but Monk won't, until Stottlemeyer and Natalie convince him that Sierra Springs is actually bottled there, and the stream is the same as the water Monk drinks. They still have to lower him by his belt, so that no part of him except his lips touches the ground or the water.
In San Francisco, Randy and Hayley open a third set of fortune cookies. Randy calls the cabin, and hears the phone has been disconnected. He rushes to his car and drives toward the woods, after which Hayley coolly nods to a pair of Chinese assassins, who follow Randy. However, on top of the lies Monk, Natalie and Stottlemeyer caught her in yesterday with their phone call, they're quick to pick her story apart: for one thing, there is a scorch mark from where the lightning hit, but why didn't it hit the lightning rod on the boat?
Also, why didn't Martin take his lucky fishing hat or the new lures that he was so enthusiastic about purchasing? Kathy shrugs off their questions, but Stottlemeyer and Natalie start asking her if Martin had a life insurance policy with an indemnity clause that would pay double if Martin died due to an act of God, and she begins to realize they're onto her. Just then, Randy arrives, having seen them from the other cabin. As he explains what brought him there, Monk looks at the fortunes and tells Randy they've been made by hand.
Stottlemeyer realizes they have been set up, and pulls Monk to the ground just as the assassins start shooting up the cabin with automatic rifles. While everyone is taking cover on the floor, Monk notices a series of scorch marks in the pattern of an electrical cord leading from the radio's power cord leading from the outlet to the bathtub, and ice cubes in the tub.
At the same time, Randy examines the fortunes, and he and Monk give their summations simultaneously much to the annoyance of everyone in their presence :. Monk: Kathy dropped the radio into the bathtub while Martin was bathing, intending to make it look like an act of God so she could collect the life insurance money. But she was unable to fake the accident on the night she killed him, because the rain stopped early, so she kept his body preserved in ice for a day to confuse the coroner and make it impossible for him to determine the time of death.
That night, during the storm, she put his body in the boat, cut it loose, waited a few hours, and then called the sheriff's office. Randy: Randy realizes that Hayley contrived their meeting and relationship, and the Triads arranged the series of "coincidences" to get him to believe in the fortunes, before slipping him one that would send him to the cabin, since he was the only one besides Stottlemeyer and Agent Grooms who knew where it was. Does anyone know? Answer: They appeared from out of nowhere is referring to them appearing from under the van i.
And beating him is to scare him from future hangouts in the parking lot so that he would not recognize them as they'd leave the sewer again.

Question : The man who crashes through the beekeeper's fence and purposefully gets himself stung claims that he was drunk. Later that day, he is back at work.
In Australia , where I live, drunk driving is a big enough offence to put you in jail, but the man is never put in jail. Is this a mistake, or are American laws more lenient? Chosen answer: Depends on where you are, your blood alcohol level. Also, having not seen the episode, was he actually drunk? Answer: He wasn't actually drunk in the episode and without solid evidence of drunk driving he would not be placed in jail.
Also this was a small town where this individual was "important" so the community police would have to have their "ducks in a row" before taking him in on drunk driving.
Question : Why was Sharona written out of the show? If it was Bitty Schram's choice then why did she quit? Chosen answer: As with most "he-said she-said" situations, we might never know. USA Network spokesman said the show was already planning on going a different direction with some characters. Monk's th Case - S7 - E7. Question : I haven't yet seen this episode, but why is it called 'Mr. Monk and his th case'? Natalie and Julie gave Monk a hundred trophies at one time for doing cases.
Doesn't that break continuity, then if THIS is his th case? When Natalie and Julie gave him the trophies, they were for cases overall. The total was actually a few short, but they gave him because it's a nice, even number, which Monk likes. Actually the total was a few more not less. They said it was and they rounded down to make it an even And Natalie and Julie explain they talked to captain stottlemyer and he let them look at monk's files, insinuating all of his cases were for the San Francisco police dept so it is a continuity error they ignored for the th episode.
I'd meant the total number of trophies. Julie and Natalie tell him that it's only been 94 or so, but they got Monk trophies because he'd appreciate the nice, orderly round number over having an accurate amount. When Natalie and Julie give him trophies, Natalie says he's solved murders since the beginning of his career.
Monk and the Critic - S8 - E6. Question : When they entrap the suspect is that legal? Answer: It seems like a good lawyer could tear that to shreds. Look, a teenager had just falsely accused me of rape, you can't blame me for panicking a little bit. Answer: Entrapment in and of itself is not legal. However, merely providing an already willing person with the opportunity to commit a crime is not entrapment.
Without knowing the specifics of the case you are referring to, it is impossible to know if there was entrapment. At the same time, the police know what does and does not constitute true "entrapment", so are not likely to try entrapping anyone - they would lose the case, defeating their efforts.
He said Monk had been laughing, and that he never heard him laugh again. In this episode Monk and Stottlemeyer get called to the scene of a crime, a women's clinic. In this episode there is a flashback to the exact same location years earlier and to Stottlemeyer getting the phone call about Trudy's death.

But he did it. Monk Goes to Mexico - S2 - E2. Trivia : According to co-producer Tom Scharpling, the Mexican homicide cops are purposely written as parodies of Stottlemeyer and Disher, right down to their attitudes, their ranks, their suits, and Captain Alameda's mustache. Even the bumbling lieutenant's name is a little joke on Disher. Plato means "dish" in Spanish. Separate from membership , this is to get updates about mistakes in recent releases.
Her parents are wealthy. Maybe that is the answer. But in the show after it's revealed she comes from money, she states she doesn't take money from her parents, despite still visiting them.
Question : In many scenes, Monk will reach out and touch something with one finger. What is he doing? I thought at first he was straightening things, but he touches things that don't move too.
It's no more or less sensible than the other behaviours the syndrome causes. I can't find a show anywhere. Answer: There are so many TV shows in syndication now, that not all old series can be regularly shown.
It also depends on ratings. A TV channel will not continue running a show if it does not garner enough viewers for them to charge higher prices for advertising time. Often channels show different series in cycles, so it may well be that Monk will be on again in the future. The entire series is available on Amazon Video.
That's where I discovered it and am now a major fan. Answer: It's on Heroes and Icons channel every day at 3 and 4.

It's on Thursdays am to pm. Question : I've only seen up to the end of series 4- do Stottelmeyer and his wife get back together? Answer: She divorces him. Chosen answer: No. Monk is so stressed and uncomfortable he begins to take his jacket off to try and remove the laser points from his body. However while the portrayal of OCD is more or less accurate, many people with OCD have issues with his mental illness being used mostly for laughs.
But it could have worked harder to have more scenes showing the internal struggle Monk felt whenever he poured decaf coffee into the regular coffee pot to make them both even. A far more egregious crime that Monk commits is in its portrayal of therapy. Monk goes to Dr. Kroger, a kind and intelligent man who is giving Monk the wrong treatment for his OCD. Full disclosure: I have OCD. It was really bad in high school, but fortunately in college I started Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which has been extremely helpful in managing my mental health.
I went from obsessively avoiding triggers and repeating phrases in my mind to being able to sit with my discomfort. Monk spends eight seasons in talk therapy, where Dr.
