Again, a visually stunning episode, this time featuring Lola's assets!
One-note and with little to nothing to give on the creative side, the shows keeps being watchable thanks to running gags, inside jokes and bold changes in the overall mood.
Calling the guy Frankie DePalma and coupling Monk with his mistress was really nice on the front of homages. However it makes no sense to see Monk can go undercover and act in character on a whim, despite all his pet peeves and germophobia. Sure, the show is already supposed to be taken lightly, but...
I don't know... Monk never grew on me, probably because the frequency of suspension of disbelief it offers is kinda "too fabricated and on the nose".
But well, yes! I loved how he wanted the 20 cent tip back after the server convinced him to pay 20 bucks instead! Now THAT was a tasteful reflection of the character in question! The duel of stares and his hitman persona growing on Monk were also nice touches. So yeah, that was one of my better Monk experiences after all.
