Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe headlines in the news ticker during the scene where Paulie Flores sees a TV story about Max Barton's release allude to other season 6 episodes:
- 1. "Local Boys Find Buried Treasure in Cement Processing Plant" (Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure (2007))
- 2. "Frisco Fly acrobatic stunts leave San Francisco officials perplexed." (Mr. Monk and the Daredevil (2007))
- 3. "Novato Housing Market Hits a Record High." (Mr. Monk and the Bad Girlfriend (2007))
- 4. The fourth article on the ticker starts "Extra Large and Murderuss..." although it is cut short. However, the names used do make it a clear reference to Mr. Monk and the Rapper (2007).
- GoofsThe legal effect of the exoneration is the defendant has asked that his first trial (his conviction) be erased (as if it never happened), allowing for a new trial on the original charge. Double Jeopardy is not an issue, since it is at the defendant's request. Unless the trial is erased, the conviction stands. What the Fifth Amendment prevents is the reverse: If a defendant is acquitted, the state cannot ask to have that trial erased.
- Quotes
Adrian Monk: You should have seen him at that hearing. Staring at me, he hates me. At least we have that in common.

Featured review
What was that!
I'd love to have something good to say because Monk is one of my favourite shows. But what was that?
Looked more like a parody than anything else!
The script, the dialogues. No suspense. And nothing made sense.
I mean ok, it was a good idea: Monk making a mistake and convicting the wrong guy. But they completely ruined it. Deep lack of humour.
And basically....who is this guy? That wasn't Monk. A whole episode, and the script writers had completely forgotten Monk's character, fears and OCD.
I cought myself being really bored watching this episode and it actually made me uncomfortable. Especially the wedding scenes! I couldn't believe what I was watching.
