    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      A number of topics can be seen on the stacks of index cards Monk prepares for his telephone conversation with Michelle from the power plant, including: investigation, where from?, thinking about you, history, English lit, biology, organic produce, reality television, travel: US, travel: Europe, 2004 compact sedans, 2004 film festivals, and, of course, Trudy.
    • Goofs
      Monk puts on night vision goggles shortly after the power is lost in his apartment. However, when the power comes back on, Monk is still wearing the goggles and can see just as well. In reality, a person wearing night vision goggles (NVGs) would not be able to see when the lights are on. NVGs either 'Blackout', or go white when the lights are turned on. In the latter case, the brightness does not cause eye pain nor injury to the eyes, which is a common misconception.
    • Quotes

      Sharona Fleming: I'm going to Hell. I'm a horrible person.

      Adrian Monk: Why?

      Sharona Fleming: I just told that woman, Michelle, that there was nothing wrong with you.

      Adrian Monk: She should have asked me.

    Cute Episode
    When a man who used to be an environmental demonstrator reappears, he proves to be quite dangerous. What transpires is way over the top. Monk ends up on a date with a representative of a power company. She is extremely attractive, but he does everything he can to drive her nuts. Still there is enough to keep one going.
