"I know it's supposed to be all sentimental that
Monk never opened Trudy's christmas gift, but I don't believe for a second that he wouldn't have opened it on the chance there could be some clue inside. Granted, he wouldn't expect to find a ""i've been killed"" videotape, but it's
monk - he would be confident enough that he could glean a clue off of anything that he'd at least want to check it out. Plus, Trudy was acting very strange about the gift - even more reason for
Monk to open it (he only promised to wait until christmas morning, not perpetually as ""cute"" as that is). I was convinced it was a positive pregnancy test. I'm glad I was wrong -
the show has been so predictable lately it's nice to feel surprised by it. But think how
Monk must feel that he's had the answer sitting there in a box - with a bow and ribbon on it - for the entire 12 years since Trudy's death. I simply don't buy that
Monk, who has gone to the ends of the world to solve Trudy's murder, wouldn't open that box after Christmas.
