Monk solves the case as people start to get some major deja vu...
Monk is streaming now on Peacock: pck.tv/3JuixBg
From "Mr. Monk And The Class Reunion" (Season 5, Episode 6): Katherine Rutherford walks out of her apartment and notices the elevator is out of order again. A man comes up behind and also notices. Being heavyset, it will take her a while to get down the stairs so she tells the man to go ahead of her, but instead he pushes her down the stairs, where she breaks her neck and dies. The killer breaks a necklace with beads to make it look like she tripped. The next day while checking out the scene, Stottlemeyer and Disher discover the beads. At the scene, they also discover a pin with the number '25' on it. Turns out that Katherine Rutherford is a nurse who worked at the free clinic in Berkeley where Monk also went to school.

Monk Synopsis: Adrian Monk (Emmy®-winner Tony Shalhoub) was once a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's most baffling cases. But after the tragic and still-unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, the devastated Monk becomes obsessive-compulsive. His psychological disorder has caused him to develop an abnormal fear of virtually everything: germs, heights, crowds... even milk. Monk's condition costs him his job, but he's back as a police consultant despite the unique challenges he encounters in his everyday life. These challenges lead Monk to hire a personal nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), who is always there to offer her assistance, even with the simplest of tasks (like organizing his sock drawer). Her less-than-subtle prodding keeps the "defective detective" on track in his investigations, as well as in his efforts to convince Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) to allow him to return to the force.

*"I'm* eccentric; he's up to something." Monk is the best!

[@dmf1301]

I tell you, Monk may have quirks, but that man was creeping me out from the instant he insisted that Gertrude should be called ‘Trudy’ even though she expressed clearly that she preferred Gertrude! People who completely dismiss other people’s clear feelings bother me far more than people with OCD and other quirks like Monk has! 😞

[@parkerhynson3581]

Dont know why I like that line so much.

Definitely the biggest wrench, given the Trudy she’d eaten with back then had died.

I love how quickly both Stottlemeyer AND Randy jumped on the opportunity to question Diane and her husband's whereabouts

[@tristanridley1601]

Actual cop work: Look at ten thousand details, when something matches, poke around and talk to people. Repeat until you get real evidence. It's an example of realism in the show for the cops to see the matching jewellery and immediately want to speak to the owners.

[@indef2def]

One of the most touching episodes, but possibly the single stupidest crime premise in the entire series. Police can tell how old paper and ink are to the nearest decade. Even if the "Adrian" wasn't a detective, he would've been questioned and told the cops that he was also with a Trudy a long time ago, and new "Trudy" when questioned would've told the cops that she never calls herself that.

[@Maninawig]

You explained exactly why the mystery was not a satisfying aha moment... it feels like the pieces were forced to fit and the story was written to make it work.

[@jessecarliner7733]

If the information in the note lined up with the victim's life events the police would never bother checking the age of the note. The main downfall is most paper would show some discoloration after 25 years.

[@Maninawig]

@@jessecarliner7733 the other issue is medical background.... she is not showing signs of depression, then commits suicide? At least bribe a doctor to prescribed her antidepressants for a few months.

[@jessecarliner7733]

@@Maninawig With previous depression Kyle would only have to say she had been braving it out. Police are going to go down the road of least resistance and are not going to question if it was a suicide unless there is something obviously off or someone raises doubts.

[@FreQuenczy]

I like the idea for the episode, but wouldn't a forensic analyst be able to tell the note and ink were used 25 years ago?

[@snicholson8884]

Very good point. Then I remembered that this show is old. And alot of technology maybe wasn't discovered or was just breaking through. For instance, a letter now is silly. But some (cryptic) note on an Instagram post, seems more likely.

[@Ericwvb2]

I doubt the police would expend any resources on an investigation unless they suspected foul play.

[@raziel710]

@@Ericwvb2 Realistically they would suspect foul play the moment they saw the note. A 25 year old hand written note on regular paper that has been folded up in a box in a basement for that much time is going to be obviously weathered. Not to mention it wouldn't be in "her handwriting" unless she was frozen in time for those 25 years, people change drastically over 25 years including how they write. It all comes down to its a TV show and they need to ignore some realism to make the story more interesting.

[@jameshill2450]

Assuming the police looked close enough to open an investigation at all, yes they can find out exactly how old it is. The cop that shows up at the scene is the one who has to notice it, or else it never gets that far.

[@naiadolling]

Even better yet- wouldn't the date itself give away the letter? Buddy ol' pal really didn't think that one through (unless he was planning on somehow forging the letter, but he would've gotten caught easily with that one as well).

Monk's confusion at someone having two dogs 25 years apart with the same name is particularly funny to me. As a kid we got a cat from the local Humane Society nearly 35 years ago and named him; that cat died 15 years later. 6 years ago I went on the website for that same local Humane Society (still living in the same area), and found a cat up for adoption with the same name! Totally forgot about this scene until seeing it again just now, hadn't seen it since adopting my cat.

The husband found suicidal letters written by his wife ( the wife had written them while in college ) her husband is trying to recreate the events/moments of what was written in the letters before killing her to make it look like she committed suicide At the start of the episode he killed the nurse who his wife had spoken because she had known about the letters and would've noticed they were the same ones written years before

I can agree with people here saying this crime would never work because forensics would find out the paper is 25 years old.

why does his assistant do nothing but sit around gaslighting monk when he always ends up correct?

She's not gaslighting him, she's asking him questions so that he can convince her and make sure his logic is sound. "Why would anybody lie about a dog's name?" She's the Watson to his Sherlock. Plus, he's been incorrect many times. Not usually about murder investigations, but about plenty of other things.

I mean police are going to look a lot harder at a victim's husband than at a victim's old friend's husband. There's no connection between him and the nurse. The dumber part of the plot is thinking the police won't notice a letter is 25 years old.
