Warning: Spoilers
AGAIN DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS EPISODE. IT COULD RUIN THE ENDING FOR YOU.

After reading 17 other reviews only a few talk about the Daughter or Trudy. Dougandalice says they liked about the Daughter, but prefered Monk to have died. The only reason for Monk to Die, would stop the Fans from asking the Show to come back or a Movie to happen. The Daughter would never gotten to know her Mother from Monk, remember the "Cards" that Monk had in the Blackout Episode? What I would have wished to have seen (Or Monk & Mollie to discuss) is Visiting her actual Grandparents? Mollie is in Media, and her Grandfather OWNs media. See the Game Show. Liking the idea of Mollie, but wanting Monk Dead is more like those who Monk put into prison. The reason I wished the GPs would be part of the ending (They weren't even part of the Flashback Ending) is until I was 6yrs old my GP's Brought me up (My mother was 15 at my birth), from 6yrs to 16 yrs old my GM (GF had passed) took care of me most of the time. So GP's are big in my life.

I don't know if Trudy's Parents were in any other episode other than the Game Show? It would have been nice to had covered them either discussing to visit them soon, or they were on the way up to visit, or actual 3 min part of the show, or even in the Flashbacks. Yes, Mollie is 26yrs old, don't know how many at 26 would not want to meet their GP's? I know this is just a TV show, the Characters are not real, but how many see the Characters as friends or family? I have never idolized any actor (Few I would have liked to meet in person) but it is the Characters they play and if they are good actors those characters have been part of our lives. Remember Monk showing Mollies Photos? Nice if it ended with Mollie, Monk and Her GP's going over photos. Today the Elderly have Great Stories/Memories with those Photos. (Like the Video Flashbacks of everyone) Because in 40yrs from Now the "Elderly" will be showing photos of "Meals". (Not a Family having a Meal; but many pictures of "meals" they used to review a Meal).

This Episode was the wrap up of finding the Murderer of Trudy. Trudy's Parents with Monk showing pics to Mollie mixed in the Other Flashbacks of the Show.
