Mr. Monk Takes On A Murdering Teacher | Monk

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Monk is love, Monk is life

Monk is right. A true English teacher would not be able to willingly make those grammar mistakes, no matter how stressed she was. Also, she would have most likely thought it out beforehand. Typically those who like words are not “spur of the moment” people. They might be dramatic sometimes but usually not rash.

At least the murderer was not an English teacher! English teachers and professors are almost always "the guy"!

Sigma Monk

I can spot 3 Columbo plot nods in this one-

1) "Etude in Black" setting up the fake suicide of a blabbermouth lover
2) "Double Exposure" the guy who tries to blackmail the killer ends up dead
3) "Death Lends a Hand" the ending with the eyewear plant & luring the killer to search for it

Since monk came on Netflix my life hasn't been the same lol

I always love it when Monk brings in the bad guy, but especially so when they’re an arrogant villain like this teacher.😊
Also, I felt so bad for Monk when he taught a class in the episode.😓

I was thinking about this episode in class today during my exam

That clock has a death on its hands.

Groundskeeper Willie? Nooooo. (Or is that naaaaaaaae?)

* I was later convinced that “whoever” is appropriate**

Ummm, it would absolutely be “to whomever” because it’s understood that it’s short for “This letter is to whomever is reading it.” A parallel example would be if you were writing a letter to yourself and a group of people, it would say, “To us,” and not “To we,”. Am I missing something here?

"It's a sUUiCiDe note for christ sake" 😂

The groundskeeper made the literally fatal mistake of trying to blackmail a known murderer.

so good

I noticed in the beginning scene, when the woman’s body lands on the car, her eyes are open, but in the flashback, they are closed. Goof?

Lol the scene in this episode Coach "Hey Monk it's showtime" "OH my gosh" Run away, if he catches up fall to the floor n curl into a ball " No Sharona, Benjy's right I have to face my fear n face him"

Having spent a Weekend at Bernies as a younger man he had experiance moving dead bodies.

Hmm. The motive is solid, but the method of catching the killer is questionable. Enough that a decent defense attorney might be able to have the found glasses suppressed before a trial.

Whomever is definitely correct in that sentence though.

Love the way monk solved, don't know if anyone noticed a tiny detail, when the teacher placed the body on the clock her eyes are closed,yet at the beginning when the body landed on the car after falling off the clock, her eyes are open 😂

Why are debtors so stupid in tv shows? They see a person kill another person, and somehow don't think they would become a victim themselves and instead think it's a smart idea to blackmail the murderer.

This was one of the episodes I was happy to see the villain arrested. He was arrogant and remorseless.

let me get this straight: you think your professor, one of the best-educated, slimiest men on campus, is secretly a murderer who clubs his victims to death in broad daylight, and leaves their bodies in plain sight, and your plan is to blackmail this person to his face?

Never mess with a malicious chemistry teacher. Except if you're Monk.

Tony Shalhoub's acting on Monk has truly been a masterclass. His fine and impeccable acting have been glorious to watch in many accounts of my life. Thank you.

A chemistry teacher killing people in all sorts of inventive ways? They should make a show out of that!

I have seen this full episode, love it, I have a question- just because the Teacher had the spectacle is circumstantial evidence? Is that enough to implicate someone of murder?

"Isn't there usually a suicide note?" It doesn't matter that the answer is no. The fact that she asks showed that it makes sense someone would assume there is one.

"It's a suicide note, for christ's sake!" omg, Stottlemeyer's voice squeaks so bad😂

Finishing someone in latin, and about his own field has something overwhelmingly powerful... Monk was not only showing his abilities this time; he set a trap and finished it with a killer "Quod erat demonstrandum". Splendid.

It reminds me a bit of when he proved that a chess grandmaster was a murderer; and even though he was fed up with the chess comparison, he finished it with a simple "checkmate".
Mr. Monk even through his phobias has a way with word!

I love this show and genuinely miss it. However, I think that I just had my own "Monk" moment. Randy takes the victim's glasses from the killer and then tells the other officers to take him away. When they cut to the next shot, Randy's hands are empty, and the glasses are back in the killer's hands.
