Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis marks the first appearance of Melora Hardin as Trudy Monk, who had been portrayed previously by Stellina Rusich during the first two seasons of the show. Rusich is a Canadian actress who was originally hired when the show was produced in Canada. When the production was moved to Los Angeles, it was no longer practical to bring Rusich down when she was needed. The producers decided to hire an American actress because they were planning to feature Trudy in several future episodes.
- GoofsMonk says the police didn't check out Lizzie Talvo's death because it wasn't a criminal investigation. Her car went off a road for no reason, and even a casual check would have revealed that the brake line was cut rather than frayed. There would have been an investigation.
Unless the accident was suspicious in some way, there would not have been an investigation. No one would have checked the brake line to see if it was cut.
- Quotes
Adrian Monk: [on the phone with Sharona, talking about Kevin] He's in the kitchen right now, naming every egg salad sandwich he's ever had... Eight, including today... It's - it's not funny... Stop. Stop laughing... Look, Sharona, I - I don't know why you asked him to look in on me, I - I'm not a child! Please stop laughing!... Okay, I'll call you back. Give her my best!... Okay. And when you come back... bring a gun.
- ConnectionsReferences Seinfeld: The Voice (1997)
Not a bad episode but it takes too long to get going, and Kevin never leaves and if Sharona's absence explains Kevin being the sidekick, hell, they shoulda paid her the world, and then some.
