Sharona is having creative writing classes at the local community college with her teacher Meredith Preminger. Out of the blue, she notes that she is forgetting where she keeps her objects at home, losing her credit card and checkbook or putting the TV remote control inside the refrigerator. When she sees a man covered in blood stabbed on the chest and with a screwdriver in his ear at the parking lot of her bank saying the name of her father, Stottlemeyer, Randy and Monk believe she had a breakdown and is hallucinating. Stottlemeyer suggests Monk to give vacation to Sharona, and she goes to Dr. Kroger. She also sends her schoolmate, the nurse Varla Davis, to help Monk while she recovers, and the nurse is decided to fix Monk's phobias. Meanwhile, Sharona continues to go to her classes and Meredith tells her that she forgot to deliver her composition to her. But Sharona is sure she has delivered her text about "Fatal Recipe".
