[@humorpalanta]

Couple of things you won't notice for the first time: - Monk uses vipes with a massive alcohol containment because they kill the nasty things fast. Therefore the immediate fire. - Monk has several fire extuingishers and he immediately grabs the biggest one. The biggest one because that is the main one. The rest are back up of the main and the back up of the back up and the back up of the back up of the back up... etc... - He mentioning the sticker not saying approximately. Later on he meets again with his brother and then we find out the brother writes guides. So when Monk is listening to what the sticker says he basically fully trusts the stickerwriters based on his experience with his brother. - Stottlemayer doesn't just shares Monk's address to anyone. He saw that this was an interesting case and could bug Mr. Monk enough to get out and sees Natalie's strength and therefore believes she will push Mr. Monk enough to leave the flat.

[@timothybelleci3554]

That's clever. I never thought of that.

[@sarahlelys9268]

Ooooh, great analysis! For the last one I thought Stottlemayer sent Natalie to Monk's because he knew Monk wouldn't be able to say no to a woman who is being tracked down, persecuted and threatened. This would remind him of what happened to Trudy and Monk would never leave a woman facing that danger alone if he knows he could stop it. But I've never thought that Natalie would never let it go, that she would keep on insisting and pushing. This is an awesome strategy because it works both ways, it helps both Monk and Natalie.

Randall Slaughter My father (who naturally, was killed by cancer) thought it an attack on his freedoms by politically correct “pussies” if asked not to smoke. He would not only continue to smoke but would blow smoke in their face. He was a World War II soldier who was always in trouble for disobeying orders. There were a lot like him, and no one dared stop smokers until the 1980’s. In fact it was considered rude to not have ashtrays even if we didn’t smoke. These people were being a** holes, but it never occurred to them that they were, and like my father, many of these people thought it was the non-smokers who were being the a** holes. This was life in the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s in rural communities. Watch Madmen, it is quite accurate in how it portrayed smokers in the post-war period, even in the cities. Few people asked to smoke, they just assumed it was their right.

The thing is they are 2 different characters. Monk needed Sharona after Trudy's death. Monk was so low on life he basically got out of the bed to cry and mourn. Sharona was an annoying voice who whouldn't shut up until Monk moved. She was agressive and annoying because she had to be otherwise Monk would have died. And it is fine because Monk needed that. But after Monk got through the worst she was basically too much. Shame she got fired but it was time for a change otherwise Monk wouldn't have developed further away from Trudy's death. And Natalie's character is a perfect choice. She is caring. She stands up for herself but is willing to submit to Monk and his personality. They can argue about stuff without hard emotions meanwhile Sharona's agressivity would have ended those discussions. I could go on but I think you get the point I am making.

Prefering natalie doesnt mean hating on sharona

[@nickrykert2572]

Captain stottlemeyer said cop not fireman! 😂😜

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

At the beginning of this episode, Mr. Monk was talking to Dr. Kroger about Sharona leaving. He was still in denial, saying he was going to dock her pay for all the weeks she missed once she returned.

[@Zombo84]

then he skipped 4 stages of grief for some reason

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@Zombo84 that's because Dr. Kroger told him it had been over three months since the last time he saw her. She sold her house, moved back to New Jersey, and remarried her ex-husband.

[@Zombo84]

@@marvinthemaniac7698 That wouldn't stop him from feeling the stages tho.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@@Zombo84 he went through all five stages in the episode where he got a new shrink.

The first nurse was also the women in Monk's group therapy

[@mylifentimes]

Fun fact: The rude nurse Rhonda actually reappears on a later episode with the group therapy session with Dr. Bell. Looks like she had problems herself!

[@JJ-ml7pq]

The tone with which she complained about “another morning shot to hell” makes me wonder if that was meant to be foreshadowing.

[@Zombo84]

Dam really? I just thought she was just a quick one off just to show how hard it would be for monk to find a replacement to shrona but she appears again I guess.

Best cop... worst firefighter

[@louiswinsberg5363]

They were both different and both great. And I loved the reunion near the end of the run at the golf course. And who could forget the earthquake and both Sharona and Monk move in with her sister, or the way one can't play clue with Monk, or for that matter charades? And then there was Natalie and her daughter who taught Monk the internet. He totally screwed up the fbi's (I think) equipment and he solved the case with no help from the internet at all. anyway, great show. I've seen the series a number of times, and just love him in The Marvelous Mrs. (can't think of her name.)

[@luckylife5325]

Yesssss. Abe Weissman. Emmy and SAG Award. He's the best character in the show. 💖 (Beside Rachel Brosnahan of course.)

[@studinthemaking]

He should send that fire extinguishers in for recharge. She seems pretty calm for lady who just killed some guy.

[@harringt100]

Natalie has nerves of steel. Though working with Monk challenged her at points, she was well-qualified for the job.

[@bwenluck9812]

studinthemaking She killed the guy in self defense-- he was in her house trying to steal Julie's moon rock, I believe.

"Corona moved away..."

[@charlesglover1415]

Brilliant, he has to follow instructions precisely, Natalie gets a true observation of his character from the start.

[@The_CrackedPot_Christian]

I wonder if the creators of monk wanted a character similar to Hercules Poirot, i.e fastidious, particular, attention to detail, but with a modern twist. I really like Monk as a character, funny and can do so many things with his foibles

[@ItsaJungleOutThere-z6b]

Natalie saved the show.

[@genshinsbizzareadventures]

Randy carried the show

[@danjohnson3669]

Not many people no or un dwrstand acting.i love the show. It ran for 6yrs os seasons. Good actor

[@ranahaseeb5473]

One of the best episodes of monk ever.

[@paulleckner8235]

Sounds like a situation in The Rockford Files Hiring a private detective.

that registered nurse in the beginning is something else tho jeez

2:00 The Extinguisher handle magically moves up from a second earlier.... sorry, I've gone a little bit 'Monk' myself.

[@SuperSonicBlur]

fun fact: at 2:00 yo ucan see that the nozzle is pointed downwards but when natalie goes to place it on the table, the nozzle is now pointed differently

[@dcfan1107]

"We did it."

[@user-rn7wf7ry4s]

1:58 Did nobody else notice that when natalie used the fire extinguisher, the nozzle was pointed down, but when the camera cut and she put it on the table, the nozzle is now pointed a different direction at a 90 degree angle? then when monk picked it back up, it's pointed down again.

[@Zombo84]

DAM ur better than monk himself.

[@jamesclint2338]

Goes and grabs the biggest extinguisher. Classic humor.

Guess i'm re watching Monk in the near future. Darn, just when I thought I had kicked my addiction to Quirky detective shows.

[@SailorYue]

Definitely hate how the mentality of some people are "it's all in your head" yes shiela, where else would mental trauma be? In the butt??" (Idk if that first lady's name is Sheila, just throwing a name out) but like neurotypicals think it's so easy for people with trauma to stop being traumatized. Im Glad he got Natalie. She seemed more wiki g to put up with his difficulties

Fire extinguisher changes from straight nozzle on the table to bent nozzle in his hand

He never pay Natalie
