Here Monk is the pariah big time because he shoots Santa Claus. This episode also has a subplot about a tabloid reporter who attempts to convict Monk in the court of tabloid TV, and Monk wins out at the end. A thoughtful mediation on the role of tabloid journalism and the mob who believe anything they hear on the 6 o'clock news.
Monk should be rebooted big time, especially with what's happening worldwide.
