Monk Solves the Case of the Muderous Girlfriend | Monk

[@Omega_X_Factor]

“Adrian Monk wanted to sleep with you?” Linda overplayed her hand.

[@mars8923]

She played herself. Even though she would’ve got exposed within a few minutes anyway.

[@KillaKindness]

She did…bad move on her part. She had no idea what BS she was spewing. Had that been anyone but Monk she was speaking about, perhaps that would have been a good hand to play but Monk? nooooo!

[@bigbearkat2010]

My thought exactly

[@ronniebishop2496]

She thought Monk lived in reality. lol 😂

[@TheJcjonesacp]

She overplayed her hand, proving she was duplicitous all along

[@TonksRules]

So many layers of "Monk would never"... 1. He can barely get any interest for another woman because of his love for Trudy. 2. If he did...he would never, EVER threaten or blackmail a woman for anything like that. 3. He would never go after his friend's women. 4. He would never do anything that wouldn't uphold justice. Lady was out of her dang mind. 🙃

[@Dharmon1]

Nailed it.

[@ravenouself4181]

Don't forget that he would avoid physical contact like the plague

[@jayporter1981]

Also he is afraid of naked people lmao, so he definitely wouldn't pursue her that way

[@ranarman5866]

And 5th, Adrian Monk sadly has no rizz

[@ecstasycalculus]

And it's not like she didn't know the kind of person Monk was prior to this episode. Such an outlandish lie that she didn't have to tell.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

"I parked on a hill." The way she says this, and the look on her face--great acting.

[@KillaKindness]

Like she is in a trance and Monk is compelling her lol

[@mars8923]

Monk’s delivery of “You parked on a hill. “ was sensational. Basically the nail in the coffin.

[@bigbearkat2010]

Always love the look on a perp's face when Monk brings up evidence they have no answer for and they know it's over

[@TheBalisongBear]

Yeah for real. A great moment

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

0:43 The look of realization and it breaking Stottlemeyer’s heart in real time.😢 Great acting from Ted Levine.❤

[@KillaKindness]

It’s a look of heartbreak and complete defeat and humiliation. He knew that Monk was right and that killed him inside because he wanted him to be wrong so bad. I prefer TK anyways, she’s much sweeter and better in personality.

Linda’s big mistake was making Monk come off as a flirtatious pervert making advances towards her. Leland KNEW that was impossible because he would never do such a thing. Hellooooo! They’ve known each other for years lol She blew this herself…

[@ArkhamKnight-uj6ww]

Plus the fact he loved Trudy so much he never even took off his wedding ring even after she died so he wouldn’t forget her

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

Monk remains loyal to Trudy, Leland believed his girlfriend instead of his old friend.. Thankfully, he realized his mistake.

[@KillaKindness]

@@ArkhamKnight-uj6ww that as well, Why would he ever make advances towards her when he is forever in love with Trudy? It just sounded weird and she should have known better. Linda should have been a little more cautious when trying to spin such a ridiculous lie.

[@ArkhamKnight-uj6ww]

@@KillaKindness she got too careless and thought that by trying to lie to Leland it would throw suspicion off her

[@KillaKindness]

@@QueSeraSeraaaa Thankfully, but it all sounded so out of place, none of her claims were realistic when keeping Monk in mind. This is monk, throughout all seasons prior to 7 and 8, you never see him show interest in anyone, all Platonic.

[@Skysky2318]

As soon as she said Monk wanted to sleep with her....💀

[@flashgordon3715]

😂

[@Isabella2335.]

😂 😂😂😂

[@GCTACOBATMAN]

Yep

[@trippytigertony5520]

I think that's what devastated him. It all came together that she did it and even lied to his face and the fact he trusted his girlfriend over his best friend

[@JJ_R]

When she said “Is it so hard to believe?”, you could see how badly Stottlemeyer wanted to say “Yes, it is.”!

[@ShadowDemon_4]

You can see when the trucks door opens the Captain is staring straight ahead in a daze. He's even swaying a bit probably in shock. He realized Monk was right and his heart shattered.

[@TheBalisongBear]

I love how she goes "is that so hard to believe?" And then she's like "oh no... the bro code is strong with these ones"

[@Tony-ci7ys]

I didn't even think of this 😅

[@h.a.9880]

Ted Levine is such a great actor, the subtleties he manages to convey in his acting are on full display in Monk, entirely underused actor if you ask me. I love how he portrays Stottlemeyer here, Linda tells him a lie about Monk trying to coerce her into sleeping with him via the threat of a framejob and despite Stottlemeyer being incredibly angry at Monk and deeply in love with Linda, Levine does such a great job of showing that Stottlemeyer's trust in Linda is slowly crumbling. The moment Monk shows up on screen, he's no longer angry and he's very slowly coming to terms with the truth. The moment Linda accused Monk of something Leland knows Monk would never do, he's on his way to accept that Monk was right. And of course, when the truth is revealed, you really feel Stottlemeyer's pain and devastation through Levine's acting.

[@mrsbluesky8415]

This was a great episode, probably top 10 of the series. Poor Stottlemeyer got his heart broken and that hurt.

[@moon_yeditz]

The fact that Leland knew right away she was lying shows that he’s a rlly good friend

[@shawnageorge4649]

This one cracked me up Monk making advances at her. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣the realization on Leland's face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chasmkek]

I was always so happy that they actually had a happy ending for Leland in the end :)

[@KillaKindness]

TK was awesome!

[@iganpparamarta8813]

But no closure for Natalie, her husband is said to be MIA/KIA after his plane crashed but the crewmen said he survivded and ran away leaving the men behind. The writers just couldn't care less haha I guess they didn't want to ruin Julie's character life.

[@ktom5262]

I'm sure he's had a few happy endings with Linda...

[@830toAwesome]

[@izuniaberg1227]

Despite it’s always hard to see Captain sad when they arrest Linda it’s still one of my favorite episode because of this scene 4:55 It’s always so fascinating how Monk get her with that little detail.

[@insouciantFox]

Very Columboesque

[@TinkatonOCorviknightBodies]

1:37 People talk about his reaction after she says something Monk would never do, but it hits even harder for me to see him staring at her here with disappointment and heartbreak.

[@a.g.demada5263]

[@thegrimreaper990]

0:43 He knows about Trudy, and of all the things that Monk could have ever done, ( murder included) he would never do that.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Monk and him were already friends when he still was in the police so he knows him well

[@hollywoodpineapple8337]

Yup 3 things, his love for Trudy, his personality and most of all his mental issues that would literally prevent him from doing those things.

Awesome episode of Monk

[@ShadowDemon_4]

She accused Monk of sexual harassment. How dumb is she? Monk is pretty famous now and yet she didn't know about his preferences of keeping things tidy and not being touched? They honestly shouldn't of put that line in. It literally makes no sense and would of worked without it.

[@mars8923]

I think it was good because not only did she not know anything about Leland’s best friend but she clearly didn’t pay attention to his extreme OCD.

[@Harambae613]

Also, Leland knows that Monk would NEVER NEVER sleep with another woman. Even though she’s gone, Leland knows Monk would see it as cheating on Trudy.

[@now7243]

This show ignores a lot of the police technical stuff. If you want to enjoy it truly just give it a pass.

[@naiadolling]

Fun fact: they do not have to read you your rights at arrest, only before questioning/investigation. And it’s standard for the prosecuting attorney and/or head detective to read them to you before questioning you. Police only do it because that’s what a lot of them see in movies and shows. Funny enough I was the only one who knew this in one of my prelaw classes.

Monk said it was towed. Once he was certain he solved the case, he would do a search for trucks. If one isn't near her home, or the house of the murder, he'd keep checking. An impound lot wouldn't be his first choice, but would become logical eventually.
