While investigating a double homicide, Monk falls for a woman who reminds him of Trudy. The only problem is she ends up being the prime suspect in the case.

Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer

Todd Katterskill: This is not the right will. He left everything to me.
Adrian Monk: How do you know that, Todd?
Todd Katterskill: I know you. You were at the memorial service.
Adrian Monk: This is your uncle's will. Actually, it's a forgery of your uncle's will. But this is what you expected to hear today, isn't it?
Todd Katterskill: I don't know what you're talking about.
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's dated October 4, kid. You screwed up. The notary public who was supposed to have signed this was on a cruise in the Caribbean on October 4.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: We were in the file room yesterday. You see the little tabs at the top? Some are on the left, some on the right, some in the middle. Mr. Pratt had a system. When he put files away, he alternated them left, right, middle so they'd be easier to read. And they were all arranged like that, except for this one. It's a middle, and it was right behind another middle. We all assumed that the killer broke in here to burn a file or to steal a file, but we were wrong. The killer broke in to add a file. Here's what happened. Your uncle was dying, and you knew you'd been cut out of the will. So you wrote up a phony will, where you inherited everything. And, of course, you had to kill Lou Pratt. He was your uncle's attorney, and he would've spotted the forgery. And after you killed him and his assistant, you put the phony will in the file, but you couldn't just stop there. The cops would've wondered, "Why was Lou Pratt murdered?" And they would've gone through every one of his files, and eventually they would have found your phony will. So you had to send them down the wrong road, and any wrong road would do. You picked a file at random, and you burned it. And it worked. Everybody was concentrating on Grayson and Monica Waters and the disputed garage. But when you overheard me at the funeral, you got scared. Because you knew I was having serious doubts about Grayson. So you killed him to push us even further down that wrong road. [Todd tries to run out of the room but winds up in front of two uniformed officers and a dog] I forgot to mention we brought Mr. Grayson's dog with us. It looks like he remembers you.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Monica Waters: Adrian? Is it really over? [Adrian nods] I knew you could do it.
Adrian Monk: Monica, l - I, uh - I just have to- Go ahead. I'm sorry. You go.
Monica Waters: I just wanted to say you're an extraordinary man. I had just about given up, but spending time with you reminded me of how things were with Derrick and l how I want us to be again. I'm flying off to Zurich this week, but I won't be coming home until he's better.
Adrian Monk: He's a lucky man.
Monica Waters: Brace yourself, Monk. I'm gonna kiss you good-bye.
