If someone thinks this is a perfect tv episode, they should seriously be banned from IMDb.
Monk spends half torturing a child, not letting her pee. The plot is predictable and obvious as usual.
I agree that Tony S is a fantastic actor and he always delivers, but it doesn't cover for the overall bad writing, which is lazy and fits sitcoms much more than drama-comedies.
At this point, this show has used every trick, it's all repetitive and overly focused on Monk's always-changing set of disabilities. No one behaves in any rational way, they're all mildly incompetent, except Monk, who is both completely incompetent and solves everything, still with zero proof, just story telling.
