- Trudy confesses that she wasn't the perfect person Monk always believed she was. In college, before they met, she had an adulterous affair with her law studies professor - Judge Ethan Rickover (Craig T. Nelson) - that resulted in her becoming pregnant…
Monk is streaming now on Peacock: pck.tv/3JuixBg
From Season 8, Episode 16 'Mr. Monk and the End: Part 2' - An investigation draws Monk back to the place where he first heard about Trudy's murder - but his fate has been unfortunately sealed as he retraces his steps on that fateful day.

Adrian Monk (Emmy®-winner Tony Shalhoub) was once a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's most baffling cases. But after the tragic and still-unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, the devastated Monk becomes obsessive-compulsive. His psychological disorder has caused him to develop an abnormal fear of virtually everything: germs, heights, crowds... even milk. Monk's condition costs him his job, but he's back as a police consultant despite the unique challenges he encounters in his everyday life. These challenges lead Monk to hire a personal nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), who is always there to offer her assistance, even with the simplest of tasks (like organizing his sock drawer). Her less-than-subtle prodding keeps the "defective detective" on track in his investigations, as well as in his efforts to convince Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) to allow him to return to the force.

The symbolism here was great. He was stuck in the past, until he opened the present, then he found his future.
100 likes
The symbolism is simple. What was over the top humor in this show, the way he acted, is normal for people now because of their over reaction to and fear of a scamdemic.
@Frank Cabanski “scamdemic” yeah okay buddy.
@@frankcabanski9409 I don’t think that Monk would Scam himself because he has been in pain for years and years because he has been trying to solve Trudy’s case
@@azrieldawson7377 99.86% survival.
As painful as this confession was, I take a modicum of solace that she never had an affair while married to Adrian.
Same, bit as Natalie said, it's because she loved him too much to cheat
🙌
According to her confession she did say she didn't know he was married.
@@Mav_F The affair was before she met Monk.
@@Blitzwaffen Yes I know that. Thanks
In a twisted, ironic kind of way, it was Monks love for Trudy that kept him from knowing the truth. He was holding onto the past so much that it stopped him from living appropriately in the present (no pun intended). Even when he opens the present he doesn't want the angelic image he's painted of her in his mind to be corrupted by what she's about to confess. Very sad but beautiful at the same time
It's true, throughout the show we're led to believe she's this perfect person but every image of her is filtered through Monk's memories. When we finally hear Trudy talking directly, not in a flashback, she confesses that she actually did stuff she's not proud of and that she's not perfect but that she really did truly love Adrian.
the biggest flaw in monk. love can make people do dumb things. if monk had just opened that gift years ago, he'd not only find closure a lot sooner, but he may have been able to be a detective again. at the very least, he finally was able to move on later and make true steps in curing himself.
Yeah hear man say he only love trudy that sought a way.should move on.
@@thecursor1 And what a powerful statement that Monk is able to love so fully and freely something born of a mistake, an imperfection, an illicit indiscretion...Molly. For most of his life, Monk abhorred that which was flawed or contained errors or mistakes. He idealized Trudy and saw her as perfect and unimpeachable and then he learns that she was carrying the burden of something so heavy...that was mired in erroneous thinking and behavior and that turned out so terribly wrong in so many ways.
It’s not just the clue of who killed Trudy being under Monk’s nose for 12 years that makes this so shocking, but also fact that the woman that the audience has been shown to be practically perfect was hiding such a devastating secret that makes this all the more tragic. The worst part about all of this is that, if Trudy didn’t hide it, absolutely *nothing* would’ve changed between them.
As a matter of fact, everything would. Had she told Andrian the truth he would have solved the midwife's murder and caught Rickover. So she wouldn't have died
And also, she would have probably met her daughter since Andrian realized the motive for the murders is that she is alive
@@user-mx4is4fx3c Possibly, but considering how ruthless Rickover was at getting rid of loose ends, it's also very possible he would've had Monk killed too once he found out he was onto him. I mean, he had two people setting up a car bomb for Trudy. They could have easily made one for Monk's car too if necessary. Rickover was very resourceful after all for a villain.
Also, there's a good chance Monk wouldn't have believed Trudy about her having an affair. You got to remember Monk's mindset was distorted when it came to Trudy. He thought she was angelic and perfect. So, in a tragic sort of way, her death might have been the only way Monk would finally take off the rose colored glasses of his beloved late wife and see the truth for what it was, no matter how ugly it seemed.
@@user-mx4is4fx3c I think JJ meant more about Monk's perception of Trudy, he didn't love his image of her, he loved HER, plain and simple.
@@Jonathan83X naa u cant say that tho because monk never drove, hardly goes outside or makes contact with ppl and he's really aware of the simplest things, like a microchip in his jacket would make him unbelievably unbalanced lol.
(That was also in an episode)
Im glad she didnt tell him tho or we wouldnt have enjoyed those other wonderful seasons.
One thing I don't get is why he's taking her confession like she told him that she had been cheating on him which all she died said she got with her married professor
What I loved most was that we always knew how much Monk loved Trudy. In this scene, we see just how much SHE LOVED HIM.
Yes 😭
"You are more than the love of my life...you are my life." Ugh, that broke me.
I cried too!
Yes me too... painfull and beautiful at the same time!!!
And she says it twice. Knowing how that means it is important to Monk that way.
Genuinely so beautiful, I nearly cried
Hope Shalhoub realizes how much we love him as an actor. Who else could pull off this scene.
Man i think nobody could cry so real
In a TV show...and make other people cry
💯😭💖
This part was originally given to Michael Richards(Kramer/Seinfeld) who dropped out at the last minute. As great as Kramer was, he could never have pulled off Monk.
Especially in galaxy quest!
He is just a phenomenal talent. Movies, tv, theater … everything he does is amazing. (I absolutely adore him!)
Monk suddenly realizes that Trudy was a person and that she had flaws is the break through that makes him better. Hearing that it was her mistake and poor choice that got her killed and that it wasn’t a case he was working on is what helped him move on. In a way it’s her last gift: letting him take her off that pedestal.
Well said!
Yes this right here! It made a break through to him! He realized she was not as perfect as she seemed.
I meeeeean she didn't really do anything. She had a kid with a dude who didn't say he was married.
@@CagedPhoenixThe1st she hid that. That was her decision. Making a tape instead of just telling him. Her decision.
@@b2kzangelalwayz if she knew how everything would play out she would have told him. As far as she knew, at the time, there was nothing she needed to tell.
Natalie epitomised what a true friend should be- encouraging, supportive, yet challenging you to push through your pain to get to your future.
She was so good for him
One of the saddest moments of the entire Monk Series, but also one of the most satisfying, since Monk finally got the answers he's been wanting for so many years...
Yes 🙌
@@SF-pj6xv Yeah, and just think, he could've solved that personal case 12 years ago if he had opened that gift.
Trudy's gift was more than a gift, it was also a curse by Monk not opening it! A resemblance of what Monk always says "It's a gift and a curse."
I never thought of this! Wow
Shout out to Tony for his incredible acting in this entire show but specifically this scene, you just feel so bad for the guy
I cried too!
@@paulleckner8235 I'm not crying. Not at all. I just happened to probably drink about 5 or 6 glasses of water too many lately, and my body just saw fit to evacuate that excess water through my eyes. While I was watching the video.
Those things happen.
@@jessiehogue. Yeah, well. Having binge watched Monk on local cable TV H & I (Heroes and Icons) I too got emotionally invested in the life of detective Adrian Monk. The answer was right there the whole time! Me bawling my eyes out!!
@@paulleckner8235 And apparently I enjoy evacutating excess water through my eyes, because I just watched the one where Monk recognizes the eyes of his wife in another woman's face on the street. Sure enough, I had a few more glasses' worth left still in excess.
I swear, I need to drink less.
@@jessiehogue. It must be contagious!
I love the little smile Monk gives when Trudy says she loved being pregnant. Even though his heart is breaking in a thousand pieces, seeing her smile makes him smile.
The way he goes from grief to pure rage and hatred for Rickover… what an actor!
Monk was perfectly content to keep that tape wrapped in its box forever.
If The Judge hadn't tried to kill him, he never would have learned the truth.
Huh, I never thought of that!
But then, maybe all the tie-ins from the current case to Trudy's case would've alerted Monk. Anyway, Rickover thought they would.
The parallel in the way Trudy speaks compared to monk is so apparent. She said “if I’m wrong, which I know I am” which is just like Monks catchphrase “if I’m wrong, which I know I’m not”. People who love each other really do pick up on each other’s mannerisms and way of speaking.
that’s a really nice observation
It's also such an interesting commentary, whether intended or not, on how many women are often conditioned to think. "It's probably nothing. I'm probably being paranoid..." vs assertive confidence of "I know I'm right!" Encouraging men to be self assured can lead to some arrogant moments, as Monk embodies well, but encouraging women to be humble can lead to self doubt to the point that they place their lives at risk. Both confidence and humility are important, but going to extremes with either can lead to negative consequences.
This series is honestly the closest to a 10/10 you can get, thanks for uploading. I hope Monk finally gets justice for Trudy.
Maybe lasted a bit too long. It had a pattern, and it was starting to get a bit tiring. Binging it doesn't suite this series. Significant breaks between seasons probably would have made this series better for me
It is a masterpiece from start to finish
100 percent
I wished the show ended with Monk taking an elevator UP with a dozen imperfect roses in hand to meet that Power Station PR woman (from Monk and the Blackout) for a date. The capper being that Natalie, Julie and Leland and his Trudie are all hiding somewhere looking to make sure that Monk makes that date.
A few years ago my 21 y.o. daughter died suddenly. Tony Shaloub accurately portrayed the agonizing grief of a loved one. It made me relive that gut wrenching feeling, kudos to his acting.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Once again, to give Monk credit, he took the news impressively well. Just imagine you in his situation, you've been struggling mentally to both live as a person, and to find the information about the murder of your wife, and then not only are you getting all the information, you realize you could have solved the case at any point in your life since the answer was given to you this whole time. At the very least, he took the fact that it was his own choices what caused him so much pain on the topic of Trudy's case.
Obviously its fictional, but I think he would have been destroyed emotionally if it wasn't for the fact that he now has a name, and the rage will sustain him and give him purpose
I started watching Monk with my Mom many years ago,
We got them all on DVD as back in 2012, streaming isn’t what it is today.
We got to the last 4 episodes until she was diagnosed with cancer.
Given years to live so we vowed to watch the last 4 episodes of Monk,
However
She passed away 6 weeks after her diagnoses and I just can’t bring myself to watch the last 4 episodes 😞
I'm so sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace
My wife and I were huge Monk fans from the very first episode, and watched every one of them without fail. When the series came out on disk, we acquired them and rewatched the series and talked about it together for hours.
My wife died last year. This series, which brought us both so much joy and delight, has been hard for me to rewatch without her there to share it, but I have done so as a way of reconnecting with her (if that makes any sense at all) and honoring what it was that we shared while watching it together.
The last four episodes are some of the best in the series, and the last two in particular are especially important. Please, take my word on this....your loss (for which I am deeply sorry) can never be reversed, but those two episodes will help you find a different perspective that will help you work through some of the pain and perhaps even find some healing. As odd as it sounds to attribute anything significant to something as banal as a television program, it really did do that for me.
@@f1b0nacc1sequence7 I’m so sorry for your loss, I will try to watch them as you describe them so well, I owe to her too, she would’ve wanted me too, right?
Thank you ❤️
@@erikamarie5535 ❤️
Hi I don’t quite know what to say except I hope you know that even in the void of the internet you aren’t alone.❤
I lost my mom to cancer too. Mine was back in 2015 we too were promised years also only got weeks. With us it was the Big Bang theory we enjoyed together and I still haven’t finished yet. (My mom was just as quirky, annoying and lovable as Sheldon)
I hope you get to finish monk, I hope you take all the time you need and remember there is no right way to grieve someone ❤️
And I hope you get to experience monk being a light, reminding you of the happiness you shared.
And thank you so much for your comment it made me realize I had made what should be a happy memory in my own life into a dark cloud, I’ll try if I can start watching the series again, maybe I won’t be able to until my son is old enough to watch it with me. But thank you for sparking the recognition I didn’t realize I needed.😊
The fact that Monk's own depression and perfect view of Trudy kept him from figuring out her killer for over a decade really solidified Monk as one of the all time greats for me.
Its up there with Columbo and The Mentalist, just plain superb.
Thank you for putting the Mentalist up there, Jane and Monk are the best
@@mostar9673 Agreed, both extremely powerful shows!
A beautiful touch to things- throughout the season when we see Adrian reviewing his documents and files on trudy’s murder he’s often saying things like “why cant I see it” Even in one episode Monk gets fired; he returns to the home or the apartment or something of the missing midwife & theyre like Mr Monk you come here every couple years with the same information
The heartbreak is palpable, visceral and still painful to watch!!!
I cried when I saw the premier with my parents years ago, and I cried again today. Tony Shaloub absolutely destroys this scene, guy's got more talent in his left foot than I've got in my whole bloodline.
@@thomasebert199 no cap he is the best actor i know of(ok im 14 so it means nothing but still) i watched the series again and again and i still have to cry till this day
"I can't die till I know"
That....got too close
Oh gosh!!!! My heart can't take it!! There are tears that just won't stop. I feel for Mr. Monk and I love Natalie for being with him when they watched Trudy's video. His love for Trudy, her video, and his pain and rage is what made me so sad. No one should ever have to go through that type of pain.
And to think he had the answers with him the whole time.
And all Dorothy had to do was click her heels two times and say there's no place like home and she's back in Kansas, Thanks a lot, Glinda!
That look in his eyes when Natalie asks him what he’s going to do.
Like, "Ima go sort out that judge is what I'm gonna do."
Comments on these Monk clips are the absolute best.
So loving, caring, observant. The comments are an embrace from the fans to Monk and to Tony Shalhoub for playing Monk so beautifully.
Tony is an awesome actor. He pulled this scene off like no one else could. What a scary situation for Monk to be in!!!!!
Mr. Monk is so upset he wiped his nose on his sleeve. Heavens! Such an amazing actor!
The most tragic thing is that all the answers he had been looking for were right there in his house all along, in plain sight no less, and his own weakness was what kept him away from the answers for so long. I love that in this episode they portrayed this troubled and usually weak minded man with the appropriate murderous rage that any man would have had after that kind of discovery.
“I was young, raised by the best parents any kid could ever dream of, went to a fancy prep school, and then there’s this old guy, a LAW professor, making advances to me and I simply said YES. I didn’t love him it was just a fling. I thought he was the right man, Adrian.”
That friend from Ashton prep school “She’s waiting for the right man.”
Adrian was that man!
She was a moron, her stupidity cost her everything including her life. BTW, Rickover wouldn't have been that much older than Trudy. It just looks that way because his first appearance in the show is over 20 years after the affair.
It's so sad that Monk thought Trudy was perfect. Just shows that nobody is
I would argue that in a way, her being imperfect made her perfect for monk. The ways her imperfections made her such a caring, loving person cuz she knows what its like to make a mistake or feel guilty. In the end, her past mistakes she couldn't take back end up making her the perfect character in the situation she was placed and I love that.
Why she had a relationship without knowing the professor was married, BEFORE she met Monk. Her baby was taking from her, why was she not perfect? What was her mistake? Being a victim?
@Dakota Matos Because they're two people and have the right to do so?
And what's interesting is that, whenever other people talk about her, she's just portrayed as a person, even her mom talks about her in a normal matter compared to Monk who, in contrast to her mom's realization that "the world is still a beautiful place", for Monk a world without Trudy is not beautiful. Even in flashbacks, we never see Trudy being anything special, she's special for Monk, and that's what made his love for her so pure.
Oh, my goodness, I love this show! Any episode where they talk about Trudy or there are episodes about her, are my favorite because it shows you why Adrian is the way he is now. Trudy has such a presence in her character that almost makes the heart of the show, and it reminds you that there is still one more mystery that hasn't been solved!!!!
These are my favorite episodes
God, I miss this show. Great writing and acting all around. These moments truly showed the heart of the show.
Monk has just solved the greatest mystery in the universe
I think the world you meant was trudyverse
@@dxd3379 trudyverse good one
Monk had one of the best series endings to any TV Show EVER! The writers and actors did a phenomenal job!!!!
I love seeing the pain in Natalie's face when Trudy talks about her daughter and the end of the tape. There's a moment of connection, mother to mother, and then the grief of realizing Trudy knew the danger and that Monk had the answer the entire time.
Standing in that scene with a talent like Shaloub without overshadowing or disappearing is so difficult and she did it
My favorite series. This was one of the most touching scenes during the end of series.
Now we finally get a Monk movie! I hope the writers do the show justice!
His first instinct was to lean into Natalie for comfort, but he was too distressed and pained to hold still. 😢
this show is a work of art
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥👍👍Yesss!!!
Scenes such as this, the writing, the acting even the background music make Monk enjoyable still.
🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍‼️‼️‼️‼️
I'm glad that Monk was able to get some closure.
Truly, one of the best shows ever made.
Tony Shaloub is amazing. The anguish and the fury
👍👍🔥🔥🔥
I love how they portraied Trudy and it was so beautiful to see her express her love to Monk. ❤
The fact that Monk could have solved her murder immediately had he not waited to watch this tape is so poetically tragic.
The only thing I don't like about this is that all the clues we'd been give at to her murder throughout the years are meaningless. The show lasted 8 years and yet you only have to watch this one episode to understood who killed her and why. None of the previous episodes really matter in terms of Trudy's murder.
Mr monk is on the one did at the end he said he found out it was a Judge but dale the whale wouldn’t tell him who the judge was
That was the part that always got me. Monk is built up to almost have super powers as a detective, but in the most important case to him and the show he is just given the answer.
@@toddwynn3397 ig they were really trying to hammer that saying that you cant solve a case when your to close to the case.i dont think they meant it as a coincidence that the one case he couldnt solve was the one he was closest to.
Just realized how that moment of Monk telling Ambrose that he’s scared to actually find his father knowing that he could was a good tell and foreshadowing that Adrian could have stepped closer to the truth but his fear and pain hold him back.
I think Monk's memory of Trudy was part of his 'problem' for a long time. He'd put her on a pedestal and made her into a kind of saintly figure in his own mind. We all like to remember our loved ones in the best possible way when we lose them, but Monk always did things in an exaggerated way and he made his version of Trudy into a near perfect person, to such an extent that no one could realistically live up to that fantasy. Everyone has flaws and secrets. I think Monk's eyes were opened in the finale, he'll always love Trudy but I think he was finally able to let go just a little and carry on with his life after being in grief for so long.
I've always felt that Trudy was the MacGuffin of the series and since we as viewers only really 'know' Trudy through Monk's own and heavily biased view, we never really got a true sense of the character until we had moments like these. Reminds me a little of Laura Palmer in the first season of Twin Peaks, she's already dead in the first episode, we only find out about her through other characters and seeing enigmatic pictures, she seems perfect, but there's something darker and quite sad hidden there.
Why she had a relationship without knowing the professor was married, BEFORE she met Monk. Her baby was taking from her, why was she not perfect? What was her mistake? Being a victim?
@@KyanneSummer No, she was just human. No one is perfect.
I was obsessed with this show. Even my family knew how much I loved this show. I always watched it when it airs on tv
Thank you for not keeping us waiting for this (since the last one)!
Mad props to Melora Hardin. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that she plays such different characters in Monk and The Office. I’ll always know her as Trudy.
Ever watch the show Quantum Leap? She also played a key role in a classic three episode arc in that show.
@@NWAWskeptic no I haven’t seen it. Thanks, I’ll look out for it
Tony Shalhoub is an extremely talented actor! In everything he does, he is amazing! (I have been privileged to see some of his stage work as well)
Can you imagine the pain he felt,have most of the answers he needed all this time! How crushing it must have been that his love for her kept him from learning this all earlier! Tony Shalhoub really brought that across!
To me what is so infuriating is that, if Monk had opened this as Trudy intended, right after she died, he would have known right then what happened to her. Instead, in his grief he locked it away for all those years, and the wondering why gave him a neurosis. If he had just done as she wished and opened it!
I honestly hoped a little bit Sharona would be around for the finale to find out with monk
"He's not gonna make it" ... please upload that scene, it's heartbreaking.
That one with leeland and randy?
If yes yes he should do it it was great and shows how much of a friend he is
What I don’t understand is if she knew what she told monk in the video, and she might of suspected her daughter was still alive that she didn’t tell monk. ( actuslly I’m surprised that monk dosnt have kids.l but that’s another story) her wanting to be secretive about it got herself killed. If they guy was acting creepy which she said simply don’t go meet her
I finish watching the whole series best TV show hands ending made me cry THANK YOU!!!!
"Hey, i have a feeling this guy who i have a shady past with and wants to meet up tomorrow is going to kill me." Why would you go then? Not very smart.
“If I’m wrong, which I know am…”
Oh you're right, Monk has been paralleling that line all series. Wild.
I'm thrilled the show included this episode. To show the importance of the most relevant part of surviving the tragedy caused of an unsolved case ... that being finding the answer or solving the case.
The case that meant the most to him; closest to his hear, he could not solve. Time stood still. At best he could go through the emotions of daily life. But, he was not living.
Now that the case is mostly solved (who, what, why) he is free. And, certainly free enough to find when and how.
I also loved the moment Monk learned who killed her his face turned into something else. He looked like a flipping Xenomorph on the prowl.
Shalhoub is getting a lot of well-deserved love in these comments, but man, Melora Hardin nailed it as well. Incredible scene, incredible show.
I barely cry in movies but this was just so sad. The fact he loved her so much and also how she said she loves him a lot is just so heartbreaking.
The only series which has everything in it humour, suspense, thrill awesome 👏👏
The Mentalist 2008-2015 great show similar theme.
@@sreerajr6470 watched it too 😁 totally forgot about it. Got to mention Psych as well 😁
Hey CZcams Recommendations. I didn't need to cry today but here I am. 5 minutes of narrative perfection and a whirlwind of emotion.
The fact the baby didn’t die makes me sick to think about to have that child in the world the times she could have seen her. Think about all the times this has happened is heartbreaking.
Watching this made me want to give Monk a hug with how sad he felt in the moment.
The good thing to know is, Monk will get justice. And he will give back a identity to the daughter of his wife.Because Monk is Monk, and this is what he does.
Plot twist: The father of her daughter is not Rickover. It's Hunter, the assistant.
Is Hunter from another TV show?
The Office
This scene always brings me to tears.
This show was sooo good!
Just perfect!!!
When I learned who the villain was, I was flabbergasted that the killer was the voice of Mr. Incredible.
Heck, Craig T. Nelson also sounds like Harrison Ford.
just saw this episode a week ago. without spoiling the ending of Monk is truly the way to end a show
You got to do the one when monk confronts Rickover
Yes!
I remember watching this episode as a kid and even then I knew how hard it hit
You're more than the love of my life; you are my life. So beautiful!
Wow when Monk said I ain’t going to die. Not yet. That’s a boss
Oh nooo... I'm crying now!!! But I had to see it. I watched on Amazon but I can't watch it anymore...
3 month without seeing season 7 and 8 of Monk... And now I'm seeing the sadest Part of the series... when Trudy said that Adrian is not the love of her life but "HER LIFE" these words Hit me so hard... So painfull and beautiful at the same time....
Regards from Germany
He was so dramatic. Crying that his perfect idea of her was shattered 😂😂😂
He wasn't crying because of that !!he was crying because he misses her and the tape reminded him of her
Best episode ever
Honestly Tony Shalhoub's performance is just the most incredible of all fiction of the decade
Why was not “perfect”??
she had a relationship without knowing the professor was married, BEFORE she met Monk. Her baby was taking from her, why was she not perfect? What was her mistake? Being a victim?
I think it’s one of those “young and stupid”things
I'm guessing it's one of those abstinence thingy that was still a big thing back then.
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be critical of Trudy. She is darned near a saint.
Primary mistake is sleeping with your teacher when you're a student (note if she were under 18 I would not feel she deserves any of the blame). It's certainly not criminal, but that's not a good life move. Secondary mistake is getting that serious with someone and not realizing they're married. This is primarily a mistake made from a lack of wisdom rather than a lack of morals, but it's still a mistake.
It shows how high a pedestal Monk had placed her on that minor mistakes like that were enough to shatter him.
You left out every detail.
No, hiding the fact from adrain during the relationship.
I could just cry.
The most important video on this channel
At the end of the tape where Trudy said she would gift Monk a new watch because he's watch was always 7 mins slow. Was a reference from Monk season 2 where the Captain told him to buy a new watch but Monk never did because Trudy gave it to him.
"He's a judge now"...The Judge...i do wonder if Dale actually knew during that final convo with Monk
Of course he did! He’s dale the whale
I loved the show monk but the truly sad part is, that all he had to do was open that present and he could have solved her murder in season 1!!
We all make terrible mistakes. :(
Always go with your gut instinct about people and try to be safe. 😘💚
I forgot Jan from office played trudy
Wonderful! Ιδικα με την τρουντι! Ειναι πολυ συγκινητικό!
Please upload when they find out how and what is poisoning monk please
What episode was the gift first introduced and Monk chose not to open it. I can't recall it.
When we first see Rickover we see that he's someone Monk already knows. Imagine how cool a plot twist this would be if we met Rickover earlier on in the season? They could have even introduced him in an earlier season. This could have been the best plot twist ever.
And when Trudy mentions Wendy Strout thatvwas already such a great plot twist. Imagine if they mentioned Wendy Strout in an earlier episode than the two part finale? This plot twist had so much wasted potential.
Oh my goodness I just noticed that’s Jan from the office
me who just started watching the office: “why is jan-?”
