We know we are in for some intense moments. At the beginning, Monk has about had it. Trudy's video tells him who killed her, and now Adrian is on a mission. An interesting development makes a happy ending possible. It's Natalie who comes to the rescue. Yes, it's probably a bit much. One of Trudy's revelations is the basis for Monk ending in a happy place. But he makes his way down the beach like a stupid sand crab. What I liked, however, was that Monk never sold out or found some artificial method of satisfying his need for a life. It may have had its flaws, but it is an incredibly memorable character, unlike any other who has graced the small screen.
