We're re-watching the series and have come to the sad good by of Sharona. I wish they would have written it out a little better but I understand it was a pretty abrupt money issue with Bitty. Sharona was great, but Natalie is also great, the casting for this part was flawless. This was a great introduction to Natalie and we'll look forward to the rest of the series with her (again) My only question is when Monk sums up the crime it left me scratching my head: First he says the bad guy swapped out the moon rock and nobody, even the museum had no idea the real one was missing, then the next sentences explains how the bad guy had to hide it in the aquarium box because he couldn't get it out of the museum as everything was being searched etc etc. How can both be true? If they didn't even know it was missing, why were they searching everyone leaving for it? This plot hole was wide enough to drive a truck through and very out of character for the writers of this great show.
