Monk Solves the Fashion Show Killer Case | Monk

[@JJ_R]

This was definitely an episode that stood out to me. This whole thing came about because Monk noticed something wrong with a shirt from his favorite inspector. His stubbornness in regards to his wardrobe saved someone from wrongful imprisonment!

Crazy to think how random events lead him to solving crimes out of nowhere. Just like when he solved that pizza boy’s murder all because he happened to be on his way to deliver pizza to him and Natalie, or when he only discovered a murder happened from being in a random jury!

We always think of rockstars or sports figures as our heroes but in truth humanity could so much more easily survive without them than without people like this woman.

[@bugen5]

9:31 Notice how when Capt. Stottlemeyer is mentioning the hair, Monk rubs the back of his head because that's where Natalie yanked the hairs from!

[@kimanireid6111]

For some reason I enjoyed how the captain said "okay"

[@profmalicious]

I've been waiting for this one- the first episode of Monk I ever saw. The reveal at the end was a surprise because going in blind, I assumed that the forensics guy was just a part of the regular cast

[@binkmuk]

I had my suspicions when he talked about being only in his 40s and he was already retiring, just that whole conversation between him and Stottlemeyer was off, I just didn't know how it was going to tie into the murder, but I knew he had something to do with it, and once Monk explained everything, it made sense to me

[@sparkshark789]

It's always disappointing when instead of doing the right thing and report a murder to the police, someone decides to blackmail a murderer in this series. This especially goes for Gordo, who's job is to do the right thing as a forensic scientist. Though I will admit he was smart to use his position to ensure he's still alive. Other blackmailers in the show end up dead for their trouble; granted, the ones from the Game Show and the 12th Man survive because the former's killer never thought of offing him (yet) while the latter's killer could only narrow down his blackmailer to 12 people (simple dumb luck).

[@Pippin1505]

[@eec589]

As much as I don't like the circumstances by which he lost his badge and his wife, Monk becoming a PI was a blessing in disguise as he could bring criminals to justice without worrying about the red tape as Stottlemeyer and Disher had to follow.

I briefly saw Monk in my official visit to the great land of Phillipines on work for two months (visiting from India) and fell in love with it and its OCD suffering protagonist. I gad previously enjoyed it in America, CBS channel if I remember rightly. Outstanding series.

[@victorpradha9946]

That was the point: The ME never even bothered to test much less even look at the sample. He falsely pointed the finger at the kid, because he was on the take. And he couldn't change his prior response because THAT would raise suspicion on his prior conclusions.

I'm confused how this guy is even a forensic, if he did his job, he should have known this was Monk's hair.

[@pikapika4355]

He didn’t know they were Monk’s hair, because he didn’t test them and wanted to keep framing the wrong guy for Fashion Designer’s crime. That was the point: Monk wanted to prove Forensic Guy was lying about the hairs’ DNA, since Forensic Guy *knew* all the DNA from the crime scene matched Fashion Designer’s DNA-hence, why Forensic Guy was *blackmailing* him for it, in exchange for pinning all the evidence on a different guy, a scapegoat. Forensic guy was going to lie about the hairs’ DNA regardless if he tested them or not, since Monk and the police claimed the hairs belonged the Fashion Designer, and Forensic Guy couldn’t have that, lest he stop getting blackmail money and the truth of the actual murderer was revealed.

[@Robi2009]
