The old Ms. Parlo finds a cat and expects to adopt it if the owner does not claim for the animal. When she is kidnapped tied to a chair by two persons driving a van that roughly draw a two-hump-lightning bolt on the wall, Stottlemeyer, Randy and the police assume the case. Randy is allergic to cat and sneezes all the time, and Stottlemeyer and him suspect of Ron Abrash, who was the leader of a terrorist group in the seventies. Meanwhile, her nephew Julie Parlo, who is a law student, decides to hire Monk to investigate the case since he is famous at her law school. She has no money to pay for his services but promises that if he resolves the case, she will reinstate Monk as a police detective since she has prepared a petition with her professor and mates. Stottlemeyer invites Monk to participate in the interrogation of Ron Abrash and Monk notes that he has a three-hump-lightning bolt tattooed on his arm and has nothing to do with the kidnapping. The kidnappers contact Julie and demand that she gives turkey dinner to the homeless in a mission to have her granny back. Nana Parlo safely returns home and Stottlemeyer puts the case on hold. However, Monk continues to investigate the case and Nana Parlo provides information about her abduction, leading Monk and Sharona to the house of the antiquarians Harold and Carol Maloney. But why they would kidnap the old lady? Nevertheless, Monk needs first to have his reinstatement test to become a detective again.
"Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny" is another funny episode of Monk. Performing the reinstatement test shows the level of OCD Monk is, knowing the answers but unable to fill the multiple choices card for the answers being inserted in the computer. The resolution of the case is great once again and Julie Parlo's mistakes are hilarious for a future lawyer. My vote is seven.
