@@doctorjay8673 Few minor things out of place can be easily explained: "I did a little rearranging, didn't like it, so put everything back." Monk knows "a little off" is no big deal to others, even if it bothers him. Pen rolling on a desk/dresser, or whatever, when it shouldn't... that's harder to explain, because any "fix" you try to claim you did to get the pen to stop rolling, would have evidence of some kind, that something was done to the legs of said furniture.
yup- she's sitting in her cell "I got the EXACT chair, the curtains, the friggin wallpaper, the molding, the carpet, drapes, curtain, pen holder, pen, table, the works- and I couldn't find a level parking spot... the pen rolled ????!!!! "
I think, privately, Captain Stottlemeyer started suspecting Linda of the murder when she told him (earlier in the episode) that Monk was framing her for the murder so as to force her (Linda) to sleep with him. There's a problem with that, however: Leland has known Monk for a long time and knows that 1. He does NOT like any form of physical (let alone sexual) contact and that 2. Monk is still devoted to his late wife, Trudy (just look at the 100th episode of Monk--Leland says that Monk has been a lot less happy since his wife was killed, for obvious reasons). I just don't think Leland wanted to accept it, until he HAD to...
And 3. that while he thought Monk was wrong about her being the killer, because he thought Monk was jealous of anyone else being in a happy relationship, he still knew Monk would not frame an innocent person. He knew Monk is honorable to the law and justice, even if he thought that Monk's issues were influencing him.
Also, Monk has too much dignity to steal his best friend's girl. He would never try to sleep with Stottlemeyer's partner, even if he wanted to. He CERTAINLY wouldn't go to that level with it. He's just not that type of person.
Ted Levine is such an under appreciated actor. He goes from a psychotic who skins women to this tough captain who is completely heart broken. His face shows all the heart break.
Kudos to the actress for the portrayal of her character realizing that the flaw in her big plan that ultimately got her caught was that she "parked on a hill". I loved this show back then and I still love it now.
Wouldn’t be the first time a Monk villain lost for an incredibly minor error. Cop who killed her lover in one of the Christmas episodes? Caught because she mixed up 2 differently sized envelopes.
"So, what busted you guys?" "Left a few drops of blood." "Accidentally paid with the wrong card." "Forgot to turn my cellphone off." "I parked on a hill."
@@spacetechempire510 She will join the prestigious group of murderers who got caught for an incredibly dumb reasons. Including "I pointed at a building," "I forgot to wipe down batteries," "I used the wrong dry cleaners," "I attended a country music festival," "I switched envelopes for 2 differently sized cards," and many more.
I think the reason the captain had so many bad relationships is because monk is right everyone deserves a Trudy. Who deserves one better than the captain
@@wristdisabledwriter2893 but if you saw the end you know trudy also had her faults and kept stuff from monk, maybe she thought he wouldn't be able handle and since she found someone who actually loved her knowing her secret it would destroy her chance at happiness and would make monk much worse than he already is. the things is that monk knowing how smart is and how much he really loved her even if he found out or was told he would have move heaven and earth to keep her safe and would have reunited trudy and Molly Evans her supposed dead child.
@@world4saker I seen the ending. I don’t disagree about her faults. But everyone has faults. I think monk meant what Trudy represented not the exact Trudy. I mean he even said she snored. The captain got the Trudy he deserved just like monk did. I think that was destiny
While watching that episode, I actually went back to see that part and indeed the pen rolled and she stopped it. I don't think anyone would notice that except Monk. The pen rolled. That's it.
In the scene in the her real bedroom, when Monk put the pen down it fell into the drawer, you can hear it. Then he picked it up from the desk. He also ran out with his shirt unbottoned but he had buttoned it in the bedroom.
I always felt so bad for Stottlemeyer, especially once he threw the engagement ring into the ocean. I'm so glad he got his happy ending, he deserved that.
Yeah, his wife leaving him was tragic, too, he loved her and was protective of her to a crazy degree, like when she got hurt. Doesn't the average man spend at least two grand on an engagement ring, kind of odd for him to do that, I guess he didn't care about cashing it in.
Poor Stottlemeyer... this man has been through so much... His first wife was nearly killed, they got a divorce and he found a new girlfriend/wife that was Psychotic and a Killer...
I can't help but feel that everyone was not only saddened by Linda's murder, but also disappointed in her. Like Stottelmeyer said, they could've had it all: love, happiness, even a family. And Linda practically threw it away by taking another innocent human life. She got too greedy in her career to realize it wasn't nearly as important as the future she and Stottelmeyer were about to have together.
What hits Leland more is how Monk was right after everything he told him, if i recall, in this episode, when Monk is trying to talk with the captain, Leland accuses Monk of wanting everybody to be miserable like him, and now he just looks at Monk silently cause despite what he might think of Adrian, Leland knows he was facing the reality.
That scene was brutal. Obviously he wasn't ready to apologize to Monk in that moment at the end of this scene, but I think he would have later, he said some very hurtful things alongside accusing him of having such bad character that he wouldn't want the Captain, his friend, to be happy.
I started bindge watching this show last month. Its genius. It makes you laugh but also a little sad at the same time. One of the best detective shows to date and head and shoulders over anything we have now.
Notice how Stottlemeyer never lets go of his girlfriend and even drags her around the moment he heard the music coming from the rental trailer. I think, in that moment, he put two and two together deep down and knew. So, he holds on to her so she doesn't try to make a run for it.
The fact that she turned off the camera and insisted that they immediately leave to go wherever probably clued him in already. Though I'm sure Monk saying "I know how she did it" was the real moment- the Captain knows that whenever Monk says those words, he usually means it.
This is one of my favorite episodes. It showed the complexity and growth of Monk’s and the Captain’s relationship. Plus, it’s cool to rewatch to see when Monk 1st figured out she did it.
@@thedarkemissary Something the Captain didn't learn after his wife left him, he totally trashed Monk and said some very hurtful things to him. Hopefully after being burned a second time, he finally gets it.
3:50 the way she chokes up while repeating the words. The way she realizes how her entire plan came unraveled by something she could've prevented. The music changes too. You're obviously meant to feel bad for the captain but I genuinely feel bad for her. Even the great detective Monk would not have caught her if she had not made the tiniest mistake.
I really liked this show I can't believe one of the producers now hates it because they showed cops as good. They were plenty of corrupt cops in the show too it was not like they were saying all cops were good.
One of the toughest episodes to watch. The most brutal part is actually in the final scene on the beach, as Stottlemyer muses aloud about how he'll never know whether she truly loved him or if she was just using him as a means to an end. I'd like to think it was probably both.
I’ve been watching monk for about a few months now, and seeing captain S’s growth during the show both made me happy and heartbroken. He deserves so much more than any human being in the world. I’m so glad he has TK. Monk was right. Everyone needs a Trudy. Leland got himself one.
I must've rewatched this entire series a couple times over the last decade and I have to admit, Leland is probably my favorite character now that I'm older. It's bad enough finding out your girlfriend is a cold-blooded murderer, but having this happen after years of a failing marriage, a bitter divorce and 2 sons who barely speak to him you can't blame him for how desperately he wanted a second chance and how close it came to blinding him from his better judgement.
Wow, she was really grasping at straws at the end there wasn't she? She wanted the Captain to just drop everything, leave his job and friends behind, and just fly away immediately with her to a non-extraditious country. 😆Heck, I guess that's what you do when you're about to go down for murder in the first degree.
Ted Levine's acting is fantastic during the arrest, holding her with both crushed passion and professional tenacity, taking in one last moment that feels like love and bracing himself for heartbreak.
In rewatching the series I felt like Linda was around more than she was, she’s mostly just mentioned after her initial debut and then they make her a killer. At the very least Season 8 awards him with a woman (that despite some issues surrounding the wedding due to a saboteur) that he gets to have a happy ending with. Also apparently he had another wife prior to Karen that only lasted less than a week before that got thrown out (according to Monk’s ill timed monologue during the third marriage’s bachelor party lol)
Yeah seemed like she was around longer. It's really cool though that they introduced her already before the episode when she ends up being a killer. She's almost like a new character rather than the usual thing where the killer is just introduced in the episode.
One of those episodes, where you truely get the Monk quote "It's a blessing and a curse". We had several episodes, where personal idols of some of the main characters or in this case a future possible wife got caught by Monk.
What makes me sad is the way he held her hands up until the last possible second. As a cop he knew he had to let her go but as a man he still wanted to have as much contact as possible before she went away forever

I love how up until the hill reveal she thought Monk just beat her. She has an idea of how aware and smart he is and for a while thought he'd just figured it out through some clever way outside her means and expectations. But the "I parked on a hill" with such a sad expression because in reality she made a simple mistake.
@@9Kualalumpur yes. I think he's angry to Monk, deeply wounded to heart, but he knows too, that Monk is right and acted as a real friend, by telling the truth.
I think Stottlemeyer KNOWS that Monk saved him from making a horrible mistake, but is so overcome by a flood of conflicting emotions, all he can do is wander off somewhere where he can be alone and process them.
this actress sticks her tongue out when enunciating an "L" sound like the end of "hill" and now I cannot unsee it when I see this clip. Useless info I know
The best part of this episode was when Linda was arrested and the Captain ended up taking Randy with him to Hawaii...I thought "how adorable" he was supposed to take his girlfriend, but took Disher instead. 😂😂😂
Well it's not like he had much choice. He was only friends with Monk, Randy and Natalie in the show. He wasn't going to pick Monk due to his phobias and still being bitter about him exposing Linda for the murderer she was. He obviously wasn't going to pick Natalie because that would have been extremely awkward after everything. So, Randy was the best choice to pick. He may drive the Captain nuts with his nonsense, but you can tell Leland really has a close friendship with Randy. He's like his annoying little brother in a sense.
This is why a friend like Adrian Monk would be the best. He never lies to his friends, never tries to betray anyone and hes the most organized. Name a better friend than Monk
I remember seeing this the first time. I thought the pen rolling was just a blooper that made it into the episode. 6 seasons in you think I'd have known better.
Stottlemeyer is so unlucky in love. I can relate. Well, except that no one I have loved has used me to try to get away with murder (that I am aware of).
I felt so sorry for the captain, just when he found someone he thought he could spend the rest of his life with she went and did this leaving the captain a broken-hearted man. Then the following scene of him in the beach with Randy had me thinking wth?
criminal tricks him, causing his wife to divorce him, lottery jackpot win reversed, new girlfriend arrested for murder right before he proposes. how has this man survived?
I was so disgruntled when this happened. I thought, "Why can't Stottlemeyer be happy?" I was so glad that he finally found love in the end. I don't care that she had zero development; I just wanted him to be happy.
My family and I have been watching the Monk episodes - this is the saddest episode so far! Seems like none of the characters can catch a break when it comes to relationships.
I didn’t like Stottlemeyer in this episode, not because of his reaction to Linda being accused, of course that’s expected. He loves her. But I didn’t like the way he became so aggressive and got in Monks face accusing Monk of wanting to ruin his relationship out of jealousy and spite. Like you known Monk for a loooong time, he should know better than that and yeah, he was just upset, but still, it’s not like Monk just decided it was Linda, he went and tried to prove her innocence before he said anything. And not only that in a lot of the episodes before they would say Monk is never wrong, and then when it comes to Linda. And Monk didn’t exactly accuse her when he was talking to Stottlemeyer, he said it was a theory.
I dunno, I think she did as well as could be expected... If Monk's in your life and you really want to commit a crime, you're going to have to take some kind of gamble.
How do you feel about the captain? Do you think he was blinded by love?
Probably yes😔
Yes. I feel so sad right now but it would have been wrong any other way.
sadly yes
Huh nobody notes the sound of music plot hole ?
@@DjRyuk01 What do you mean?
Can somebody else be impressed that she replicated her bedroom so well Monk didn't notice any differences except for the pen?

I love the look of complete disbelief and even heartbreak on her face that all it took to prove her guilt was: “I parked on a hill...”
Monk didn't actually want to do this but it was the right thing
Yes, I think it's the first time he wanted to be wrong
The only time that Monk wished he was wrong
this actress sticks her tongue out when enunciating an "L" sound like the end of "hill" and now I cannot unsee it when I see this clip. Useless info I know
3:52 🤣🤣😂😂👅😛
Ahhhhhh I hate it
It would have cost you exactly $0 to keep that info to yourself.
@@littlegamingmoments2923 but it annoyed you, so now it's priceless
this is such a good story with incredible actors. i loved them all. they were shining
The best part of this episode was when Linda was arrested and the Captain ended up taking Randy with him to Hawaii...I thought "how adorable" he was supposed to take his girlfriend, but took Disher instead. 😂😂😂
Well it's not like he had much choice. He was only friends with Monk, Randy and Natalie in the show.
He wasn't going to pick Monk due to his phobias and still being bitter about him exposing Linda for the murderer she was. He obviously wasn't going to pick Natalie because that would have been extremely awkward after everything. So, Randy was the best choice to pick. He may drive the Captain nuts with his nonsense, but you can tell Leland really has a close friendship with Randy. He's like his annoying little brother in a sense.
2:11 she was planning this for a long time she could of stopped herself anytime but she didn't
Poor Stottlemeyer, he's such a good person! He deserves to be happy. What a good episode though, Ted Levine knocked it out of the park!
This is why a friend like Adrian Monk would be the best. He never lies to his friends, never tries to betray anyone and hes the most organized. Name a better friend than Monk
Poor Leland. He just always has the short end of the stick!
Robot satellite omg I love monk 😆
When he says you parked on a hill I got goosebumps. One tiny little mistake in a genius plan
I remember seeing this the first time. I thought the pen rolling was just a blooper that made it into the episode.
6 seasons in you think I'd have known better.
Stottlemeyer is so unlucky in love. I can relate. Well, except that no one I have loved has used me to try to get away with murder (that I am aware of).
There is nothing you can hide from mr monk
I felt so sorry for the captain, just when he found someone he thought he could spend the rest of his life with she went and did this leaving the captain a broken-hearted man. Then the following scene of him in the beach with Randy had me thinking wth?
Randy frequently provided comedy relief; but you can see how much it pains him to put the cuffs on Linda and take her away.
criminal tricks him, causing his wife to divorce him, lottery jackpot win reversed, new girlfriend arrested for murder right before he proposes. how has this man survived?
That bad girlfriend episode is my very favorite! Actress was very good and cute.
"I'm 51 years old, she's the last chance I have" broke me 😔
Mr.Monk is the best detective in the world. As a fan we miss him :)
Best mistake ever: you parked on a hill
Best response ever: I parked on a hill
Almost the perfect murder.
Aren't they all until Monk comes on the scene!
He's laughter's answer to Columbo.
Great show!
Well, weeks ago I somewhere read that Peter Falk who played Columbo was considered for role Monk’s father Jack Monk Sr.
@@izuniaberg1227 That would have been cool.
I was so disgruntled when this happened. I thought, "Why can't Stottlemeyer be happy?" I was so glad that he finally found love in the end. I don't care that she had zero development; I just wanted him to be happy.
I'm watching this episode and when she turns off the monitor, the sound wouldn't turn off if this was a real computer.
The captain's girlfriend....hum...?!?
My family and I have been watching the Monk episodes - this is the saddest episode so far! Seems like none of the characters can catch a break when it comes to relationships.
You can hear the pain and heartbreak when the captain says "you can turn that off now".
Poor Leland. Although I still liked this girlfriend better than his past wife. The next was the best though, obviously.
This episode was so sad. Leland was starting to pick up the pieces of his broken heart from his failed marriage. Then this happens.
The song Monk was playing sounded like a church song I had to sing called “How Great Thou Art” lol it was so weird hearing that in Hawaii music lol.
I didn’t like Stottlemeyer in this episode, not because of his reaction to Linda being accused, of course that’s expected. He loves her. But I didn’t like the way he became so aggressive and got in Monks face accusing Monk of wanting to ruin his relationship out of jealousy and spite. Like you known Monk for a loooong time, he should know better than that and yeah, he was just upset, but still, it’s not like Monk just decided it was Linda, he went and tried to prove her innocence before he said anything. And not only that in a lot of the episodes before they would say Monk is never wrong, and then when it comes to Linda. And Monk didn’t exactly accuse her when he was talking to Stottlemeyer, he said it was a theory.
Don't forget that Monk wanted to be wrong.
But yes, he was really bad with Monk despite the fact they're friends since years
Just thought it’d mention this minor detail: Natalie is twisting her ring at the end
Randy wearing a grass skirt made from police caution tape 😂😂😂🤣🤣
He's the only one who would do that.
That was too painful. And all the officers there were fazed.
So sad but captain is stronger and commands Randy arrest her. Broken heart 💔.
If Monk and Columbo each committed a murder, would they be able to catch each other?
I like this episode, but I also hate it. I always liked Linda's character. she was my favorite girlfriend of Stollemeyer.
The case Monk wished he was wrong on, but he wasn't.
Just want to say that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you very much and died for you
I *love* Randy's skirt xD
we need more Adrian Monk's around to solve the crimes of today
See her face....saying oh fu#@
He should have least apologised to Monk
He was in too much pain
This is the best show i have ever seen.
Look at the elaborate lengths she went to cover up the crime. She totally underestimated Mr. Monk!!
I dunno, I think she did as well as could be expected... If Monk's in your life and you really want to commit a crime, you're going to have to take some kind of gamble.
I remember this episode
Same
It was on a few weeks ago for me. Never have felt more sorry for Stottlemeyer than I did in this episode.
Linda tried to make Monk look bad by saying "He" wanted to sleep with her.
But she betrayed herself
Poor captain :(, the captain just can't find the right woman at all
