Monk slowly dries out and is sleep deprived and starved, voluntarily.
They are also in "Mexico," but iterally 11 words are spoken in Spanish the whole episode.
Our ignominious return!
Stottlemeyer and Monk had some good chemistry in this episode
Natalie's line about the great ones playing hurt is total BS.
Natalie totally burned Monk when he asked her to do her job and she replied, "I'm busy doing yours."
