You can usually tell when the writers run out of ideas, its when they add a monkey to the script. Usually it is a stupid distraction but in this case it is a catalyst for non-monkey interactions. The reason for the quarantine could have been almost any other reason than the monkey, so with that the episode loses a star. Other wise the comedic interactions between the main characters is great. My only other real gripe is that the quarantine should have started earlier in the episode to allow for more development of the interactions between Coach, Luther, Dauber and Howard. But overall, a classic episode with some minor issues.
