[@honestdave]

The show was pretty good at giving you a sympathetic killer.

[@marcus3567]

One of the greatest things this show had was great characters and even greater guest stars Edit: Also now that I think about it, this episode feels like a lead on to Monk's own struggles with the death of his wife. Think about it, the woman was blinded by a driver who killed her family and the moment she has the opportunity to get revenge on the person who done it, she gets it. So to lead on from that throughout the show, Monk would potentially deal with the same outcome albeit the moment he finds out who killed his wife. It's a nice detail that some of the cases have more meaning then you'd think.

[@filipvadas7602]

To be fair, a fair few cases relate to are somehow show what Monk is dealing with internally. Like in *Mr.Monk and The Foreign Man* where we see just how deeply affected Monk is by the fact that he's been unable to catch Trudy's killer for so long.

[@keithtorgersen9664]

When the hitman begged Monk to forgive him, we don’t know if he ever did, but he showed mercy. When he found the person who hired the hitman, he was in a much less merciful mood.

In Mr. Monk and the Naked Man, Monk was so uncomfortable around nudity that he was visibly disturbed. It was mentioned that he doesn't look at himself naked I believe. In Mr. Monk Goes to Vegas he can't even look at a woman who is scantily clad. I think he averts his eyes here when the streaker gets very close but he doesn't seem as put off as in the other instances. Is this an inconsistency, or is his blood just up because he has his quarry? It is true that, sometimes, the solving of a case helps him set aside some of his problems.

[@CoolBeans-lq3zu]

But in the pilot episode he is unable to catch that tall guy because of his fear of heights. I think it might just be an inconsistency.

[@Adamguy2003]

The first time I saw this episode, I knew she was the killer, and that she had faked being blind. In the scene when they were grocery shopping, when she was paying for everything, she seemed to know a little too quickly how much each of the bills she took out was worth.

[@inevitable48]

Also because it's a story and fake.

[@RKingis]

It's actually common for blind folks to fold their money a certain way, so they knew the value of each bill.

​@RKingis some people also use wallets with several pockets so that each type of bill can be organized into it's own pocket!

And chances are if this is her first crime that she'll be convicted but potentially serve house arrest. She's old, partially disabled, overweight, and this was a one off crime. There's no need to throw her into gen pop. The only rub there is the second shot shows it was not a crime of passion but a thought out one, but it isn't a nail in the coffin since she's cooperating fully. Could go either way.

She's still partially blind. Would she still need her cane?

[@TheLastSane1]

She says she has vision in one eye, so her other side would be blind. She would have gotten so used to the cane it would feel wrong without it. Lots of people who wear glasses from childhood and then get eye surgery struggle with not putting on their glasses when they wake up, feeling wrong without the glasses on their face because its such a familiar sensation. So she probably would just use the cane on her blind side to give her a heads up on something she might run inside on that side. Field of vision overlaps, but its a big blind spot also with one eye depth perception would be effected.

About how Monk saw the sling handshake: he grabbed her shoulder with his left hand. So unless his hands were on backwards, I personally would have reached out with the complimentary hand to shake. Especially if I was afraid of accidentally getting a crotch shot if I extended the hand against him, instead of across from him.

[@jasonluong3862]

Just tell Willie Nelson there is pot served on the set, and he will show up to any shoot.

[@MrYfrank14]

I work for a resort. He performed there. He and his band stayed in our hotel rooms. We got so many complaints about the stink from the pot, they made him stop smoking. So he smoked in his tour bus. Still looked, and stunk , like a cheech and chong movie but at least he was far enough away from the building the stink didn't bother the other guests.

Its implied that it was head trauma that caused her to lose her vision and that it was another case that caused her to partially regain it. Believe it or not, there *are* documented cases where people lost and then regained their sight in a similar fashion. Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction.

[@DeathlordSlavik]

Yes you can when it is from brain or nerve trauma not direct damage to the eyes. There have also been similar cases with things like deafness or paralysis being cured by trauma there have also been several over the years where people were cured of various things by being hit by lightning.

[@prestonestes1388]

Mary Ann Franco was a 70 year old woman who had been blind since 1993 after a car accident damaged her nerves. She fell down the stair in 2016 and regained her sight. There was also the case of a New Zealand Woman who had been blind since she was 11 getting some of her sight back after hitting her head on a coffee table while bending down to kiss her dog. Back in the 80’s Edwin Robinson was struck by lightning during a storm and had his sight and hearing returned to him after he had lost them in a trucking accident years before. It’s extremely rare, but sometimes trauma can fix such damages. It’s not recommended to try though.
