Even though Monk is summing up how he solved the case in this scene; at the same time, it's also one of those moments where he becomes his own worst enemy. In this case, it was by openly insulting the very person that he persuaded to vote in his favor, while she was within earshot.

[@Sovreign071]

Worth noting that the parking garage they're demolishing is where Trudy Monk was killed. Adrian wanted it preserved. As a small compensation, when it does get demolished, the children's park is dedicated to Trudy!

[@saphira087]

And they saved the only part of it that he needed to be saved. The wall that Trudy likely saw moments before death.

You'd think a guy who bought extremely expensive custom made ties wouldn't use it as a murder weapon and also leave it on the corpse. Also, the fact that he buys those ties isn't really definitive proof.

Proof no, but he did establish he had motive, access to such a murder weapon and opportunity

[@slchance8839]

Hard to say. I have custom made shirts and to make me feel good (I guess), they label says "Custom made for [My name], then the name of the company and then the washing instructions. Is this the same for custom companies? I dont know. If he did leave the tie (which would be stupid of him), then it might even have his name on the tipping, blade, or keeper depending on where the company labels their washing instructions/fabric type (aka "100% silk" or "100% linen" etc...)

[@rtpoe]

Well, if I were investigating a murder, and found an extremely expensive custom made imported tie around the neck of a victim, you can bet I'd be calling the company to find out who they sold it to......

I think the point is, he can afford them, so they feel like a normal tie to him. So, he can just buy another one and doesn’t see them ad damning evidence. He was also, yknow, panicking about his mistress being pregnant.

Awesome underrated episode - unfortunately when it first aired it was overshadowed by having a notoriously misleading trailer. It implied that it was going to advance the Trudy plot saying that "you won't believe what he finds" in the garage, and with it being the season finale of the penultimate season it made it all the more believable. Turned out to be a nothingburger on that end. Still a very good episode though. Apparently there was a similar thing with the Man who Shot Santa.

@@scruffygaming627 It all depends on how rare the ties are in that part of the US. If he is the only buyer in the area - then it is real evidence. If he is the only buyer in the western half of the US then perhaps it is enough on its own. At a minimum its enough to get a search warrant and look for DNA evidence which would nail the case. Cops can arrest and hold you on suspicion while they look for other evidence. By the time he is released in a few days they would have executed the search warrants and gathered the key evidence. TV is unrealistic on the time for testing and ultimate conviction though. Weeks at a minimum; and often months.

As an autist I don't find monk to be remotely offensive or disgusting. I also don't interpret it the way you do. He's "basically magic" because he's one of the many characters inspired by and following the mould of Sherlock Holmes. He's just a character who has a certain set of traits. It sounds to me like you're finding reasons to be offended. If anything I see a character with obsessive-compulsive behaviour as the main protagonist who is depicted as commanding respect and being a relatively functional, contributing member of society, which is a relatively positive depiction of someone with a mental disorder.

[@jenx5870]

As someone who actually has OCD, I recognize that this is not at all what it's like, but I am not in any way offended. It's an entertaining television show. Most people realize that it's a work of fiction played up for laughs. There is something called a remote, which allows you to change channels and not watch things which offend you. Only you can choose to be offended by things. Or you can let it go and worry about real life issues.
