We go back to complete the events of that powerful series of Season 8, where Monk finds himself defending his humanity while helping the mayor in a remote Nevada town investigate a murder after discovering what could be a UFO. On the other hand, Monk is asked to hide himself when his angry man, a mob man, suddenly dies to leave federal agents without any strings for his next victim.
Here's to you Mr. Monk, a small and steady light on an often blinding, hyperkinetic screen. In your own quiet way, you have changed our lives and you will be missed.
I won't miss Monk all that terribly, but I will miss knowing that the show was out there, creating a safe haven for people who just wanted a few smiles on a Friday night.
