Natalie then had to stay with Monk and cart him everywhere in a wheel chair.The female research assistant shot the man who stole the bike. Adrian went with Natalie to see the man’s dead body in the cemetery. The next day, garbage men found the expensive bike in their trash truck. The men immediately alerted the police. Adrian and Natalie went to return the bike to the scientist who was played by former West Wing star Bradley Whitford. The scientists noticed that Natalie was dehydrated and had not eaten in a while. Mister Monk felt bad and gave her a wipe and the karma chips back. he also noticed that the bike lock was missing. He said that the woman who was leaving for China had rigged a lock for the bike and had given the scientist the bike to get the code to the safe.

The Monk season premiere was on last night on the USA network. This episode focused on Adrian Monk’s relationship with his half bother Jack. Jack used an alias Joe Endicott and was in jail. He escaped and everyone thought that he had murdered a woman at the prison. He ended up running to his half bother Adrian’s house. He wanted Adrian to help clear his name. Adrian begrudgingly decided to help Jack. Jack has a problem with lying. He does it all the time. He investigated the jail and saw where Jack had escaped. They also visited the dead woman’s apartment. They saw that someone had removed her pictures off of the wall and had put really bad out of focus photos back on the wall. Jack tried to con Natalie out of money by saying he was starting an orphanage in Quebec. Adrian had told everyone that Jack was his pen pal not his brother. Jack stole a man’s watch from the dead woman’s apartment. Adrian noticed that it was engraved. It had a man’s inital’s on it. They visited a guard at the prison and saw that his arm had silveron it from the watch that they had. The three started to leave and the man shot at him. Jack took the car keys and Natalie and Adrian thought he was going to Paraguay. However, he came back and ran the man down with the car. Jack went back to jail and was cleared of murder. Adrian told Jack he was proud of him and even hugged him. It was a good episode.

I watched the Monk holiday special on USA. It was a good episode of my favorite obsessive detective, Adrian Monk. Mister Monk as Natalie Teeger calls him was investigating a murder of a homeless man. The homeless man had been running from someone and had told his friends. They brushed it off and called him paranoid. The next day, the three friends went looking for him and found him dead in a fridge. They went to see Mr. Monk who had been putting up his cardboard cut out of a Christmas tree in his apartment. The three homeless men came to his apartment to hire them to investigate the death of their friend, the homeless man.They said they could pay him fourteen dollars in redeemable bottles. At the same time, Lt. randy Disher was running the police station because the Captain was ill with arthritis and could barely walk. People were being healed by a fountain. They would have drink written on their door if they were ill. The people would drink from the fountain and would magically be healed. Leland decided to drink from the fountain and magically could walk. He then decided to join a monastery and take a vow of silence and travel abroad on a missions trip. When Adrian was eating dinner with the homeless men and Julie he confronted them on not having enough money. Three of the bottles were Canadian bottles and could not be redeemed. However, Monk saw that these were from the Captain’s yard and that maybe the Captain had seen the homeless man before his murder. They traveled to see him, but he gave them a good bye letter saying he was leaving for two years. Natalie dragged Adrian to the fountain to drink, they discovered that half of the pill bottles were filled by Owen Chlumsky a pharmacist. His fiance had told them that he had been switching peoples prescriptions to make them sicker and put medicine in the fountain. There was a dead body buried under the fountain so if it was a shrine then it would not be destroyed. Adrian and Natalie told the Captain. He decided to come back to work.
