Intrigue

Monk's hypnotic regression to his childhood begins to affect the case on which he's consulting - an actress who's disappeared, and the holes in her story when she's found after a deadly escape.

Monk runs into Harold Krenshaw who tells Monk he went to a hypnotherapist who cured him. Monk goes to see the same hypnotherapist who hypnotizes him as well. After the treatment, Monk begins to behave like a juvenile because reversion therapy has taken him back to his happier childhood days. Now Monk has taken on the mannerisms of a child while investigating the disappearance of a woman who returns shortly after her husband has been killed.—rcs0411@yahoo.com / edited by Hans Delbruck

In the midst of a bitter divorce, actress Sally Larkin vanishes, apparently having been abducted by her husband, billionaire real estate mogul Aaron Larkin. While the police search for Sally, who they presume has been killed, they won't be able to get help from Monk because Monk has reverted to childhood mannerisms after being treated by a hypnotherapist. However, when Sally turns up alive and well after successfully killing the husband who held her captive, Monk's juvenile state may just be what's needed to figure out what really happened.—dmcreif / edited by Hans Delbruck
