    Monk is streaming now on Peacock: pck.tv/3JuixBg
    Season 3, Episode 8, "Mr. Monk and the Gameshow": With Sharona out of town visiting her ailing mother, Monk has been left in the care of his annoying former neighbor, Kevin Dorfman. As Monk is forced to deal with Kevin's antics, there's a knock on the door. To his astonishment, it's Dwight Ellison, the father of his late wife, Trudy. Ellison is an executive overseeing a popular game show called "Treasure Chest." He's convinced the current champion is cheating, so he asks Monk to come to Los Angeles to help him figure out what's going on. Monk and Dwight head to L.A., with Kevin in tow.

    Monk Synopsis: Adrian Monk (Emmy®-winner Tony Shalhoub) was once a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's most baffling cases. But after the tragic and still-unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, the devastated Monk becomes obsessive-compulsive. His psychological disorder has caused him to develop an abnormal fear of virtually everything: germs, heights, crowds... even milk. Monk's condition costs him his job, but he's back as a police consultant despite the unique challenges he encounters in his everyday life. These challenges lead Monk to hire a personal nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), who is always there to offer her assistance, even with the simplest of tasks (like organizing his sock drawer). Her less-than-subtle prodding keeps the "defective detective" on track in his investigations, as well as in his efforts to convince Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) to allow him to return to the force.

    Easily one of the best "gotcha" moments of the show.
    The slow buildup, the glances between the actors perfectly conveying what the characters are thinking ,the antagonists' plot slowly falling apart with the music on the background swelling and the reveal of what they'd both done with the evidence proving it at the end as the crescendo to it all.
    Just masterclass, episodes like this make me wish the show had more seasons.

      Probably because of everything he's experienced.
      First, his childhood. Apparently, no hugging between him and his mother; his dad took off; and you see that home video of the family just staring at each other thinking that someone died, but it was [actually] Christmas. You can only imagine how warping all that can be.
      Then, he meets Trudy and sees that the world can be a good place. But, then he loses her. Years go by and he STILL hasn't made a connection (at this episode's point though, he was given a distinct description of the killer).

    Watching Adrian with Trudy's parents made it more sad how much he missed out on with her death.
    When she passed she took away the only chance he had to having a full filling life. A career he loved, friends who adored him, a world he could traverse in without fear, a child of his own, a complete family with "parents", a relationship with his brother, a chance to mend properly and earlier with his father, and a long life to grow old with the woman he loved.
    Don't get me wrong, I loved that he found purpose in his life again with Trudy's daughter, but he could have had so much more.

      Technically, yes. On answering machine systems, users can set a passcode so that when they call the number assigned to the answering machine, they can hear new and saved messages. I haven’t seen the rest of this episode, but if Monk knew what the blackmailer’s passcode was, he could retrieve the saved message.

Heck, many people complained about having to memorize PIN numbers for their bank account. Very few wanted to add an answering machine passcode to their long-term memory. As a result plenty of these machines could be accessed with the default passcode set by the manufacturer.
