"Mr.
Monk Falls in Love" is one of the more poignant
stories in
season seven, in which
Monk is thunderstruck by a beautiful social
worker who also happens to be the lead
suspect in a cab driver's
murder. Denying his feelings (fearing he is being unfaithful to the
memory of his late wife, Trudy),
Monk springs into
action when it looks like he might lose a second
chance at love. "Mr.
Monk's Other Brother" offers a very funny
performance by Steve Zahn as
Monk's long-lost and very much alleged brother, an escaped
convict. Deeply dubious,
Monk nonetheless hides him and openly lies to his cop friend, Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), while trying to prove the fugitive is innocent of murder. "Mr.
Monk and the Bully" is a dark
episode in which the detective is hired to follow the wife of a former school bully who made
Monk's childhood hell. When the husband is accused of murder,
Monk savors the thought of his nemesis being convicted, even if he knows the villain is innocent. Finally, "Mr.
Monk Fights City Hall" concerns
Monk's frantic efforts to stop the
demolition of a garage where Trudy was murdered. Touching but funny, the
story is a fitting end for
Monk:
Season Seven.
