Monk Solves The Case of The Kidnapped Granny! | Monk

[@DC_Prox]

Randy asking if it swivels isn't the usual "Randy is dumb" joke, it's uncharacteristically clever; Thomas Jefferson literally invented the swivel chair.

[@coffeeaddictexpress5038]

I just came here to say the same thing! I’m like HELLO he invented them it’s not a dumb question lol.

Wow! A joke lost on 99.99% of us (thanks for pointing it out)!

I like the closing scene wherein Monk thought he would never get reinstated so he placed his uniform away but Sharona who saw him doing it. Knowing he will someday took it out and hanged it as a sign of support no words were said by anyone

That scene was beautiful. I always loved how much Sharona believed in Monk, even when he didn't always believe in himself.

[@tomxaider2058]

The couple mistake is that they are too greedy for their own good. If I were them i would just buy the chair with high price from her and get the huge profit from the auction but the couple were just too greedy to make more money

[@Grothgerek]

Not really. Like Monk said it himself, if they tried to buy it, there was the risk that they would have looked into it and noticed how much worth the chair was. If some random dude offers me money for a normal chair, I obviously would be very skeptcical.

[@tomxaider2058]

@@Grothgerek It is still a matter of greed in the end. If they legibly buy from the old lady she would have it evaluated and demand millions of dollar or at least a percentage from the auction.

[@Grothgerek]

@@tomxaider2058I mean, yes. They are still thiefs/criminals. Obviously its greed. But I wouldn't say that they acted irrational because they were too greedy. If the grandma had evaluated the chair, then there is the risk that she asks for more than its actual worth (the estimated price isn't necessarily the price it is sold, because you still need a buyer that pays this much). She could also auction it herself, or demand so much that they can't afford it. In short, if they told her, there would be the risk that they wouldn'tt be able to get anything out f it, if they tried it the legal way.

[@Leoncroi]

True, but also a little social engineering and charismatic bluffs could go a long way. "My grandmother left us a living room set in her will, and unfortunately, one of the chairs had internal dry rot and broke beyond repair. THAT chair is from the same set. Since we know it's an antique, and how valuable it is, would you be willing to take $150,000 for it? The living room looks so empty without it, and I want to try and preserve my grandmother's collection." Tug on heartstrings, give a more than generous offer to someone who clearly didn't know (since they let their cat sit on it), and considering it was the mid 90's, $150k is a stupid offer to pass up for a chair. Yeah, I'd like to have $2.5 million, but $150k is just as lifechanging, and more specific, immediate. Or, just be upfront and honest, and split the winnings of the auctioned chair 40/60. $1Mil/$1.5Mil is still a huge win for having done little to no work on either person's side.

Why couldn't the police just examine the chair for Julie's and/or her grandmother's fingerprints to prove it had been in their possession? It doesn't make for a cool "gotcha" moment but it certainly makes for more tangible -not to mention admissible in court-evidence.

I don't get how they had proof...they left the house with no proof. Then because Randy didn't sneeze they knew the kidnappers never had a cat. So they went back to arrest them. But not sneezing isn't proof. What did they have that would have held up in court?

Randy didn't sneeze=> They never had cat => the cat in the flyer wasn't what led them to going in the house => flyer picture had the cat sitting on *_the Chair_* => flyer is photographic evidence the chair belonged to the old lady

I’m thinking she was offering some other payment than help getting reinstated.

[@bunbacheso]

SPOILERS BELOW: No, she really did her best to help Monk get reinstated. If I recall correctly, it was an ADA thing; his OCD is a legal disability, and he can’t be kept away from his job for that if he can prove that he’s still able to do the job. So she helped him register to take a reinstatement test, but Monk’s compulsions caused a problem, and he didn’t pass the test in this episode.

@@413dollaz it’s on Netflix. And I have. As a matter of fact, I’ve watched this show when it was running. And I’m currently on season 7. And as of logic, it’s quite logical to bring a case to court with a mountain of evidence. Not just the single word of a brilliant detective. Like I said. Monk always has this elaborate “here’s what happened” moment then credits. Watch the show and tell me how much evidence monk has against the criminal compared to his summation of the case.

@@ibeethatoneguy7807 I know. I watched. But, the only thing that pointed to it being about the chair, was the detective being allergic to cats. He sneezed every time a cat was near. The face he wasn’t sneezing when they got to the house clued them in that it wasn’t about the cat. And stottlemyer was super concerned about his fathers chair that gave monk the idea that it could be about the chair. Any actual evidence? No. But is the case solved? Yep.
