Tony Shalhoub's Adrian Monk's strange nostalgia for the parking garage where his wife Trudy was killed might lead him to details about her murder.
Overviews from the official "Monk" Web site and TV.com for "Mr. Monk Fights City Hall," the Feb. 20 season seven finale, indicate that in the episode Monk chains himself up to stop its scheduled demolition.
But a case develops for Monk to solve that disrupts everything when a city official sympathetic to his cause goes missing, and finding out what happened might very well lead him to a clue with which to deduce who ordered Trudy's murder, the overviews hint at as well.
One sneak peek shows that Harold Krenshaw (Tim Bagley), who is apparently on the city council, votes to prevent postponing the site's demolition seemingly out of his long-standing hatred for Monk, and that he might only vote in favor of it if the defective detective reveals the name of his therapist, Dr. Neven Bell (Hector Elizondo).
Maybe Harold just misses their verbal sparing in Dr. Kroger's waiting room.
A compelling reason to watch the episode is that it will likely not lead viewers down another dead-end concerning Trudy's homicide in that the series will conclude next season, and sparing information has thus far been revealed about her bombing.
If anything, this episode might very well serve as a sort of story launching point for some episodes, if not all, in season eight.
Longtime fans might get a piece of what they have been very patient to see for the last seven seasons of few great murder cases for Monk to solve intertwined with many frivolous themes.
Monk confronting his fear of confinement means "Mr. Monk Fights City Hall" is more than just a run-of-the-mill episode. Another sneak peek that can be watched below indicates it is enough to get Monk to care about something other than what he does best, that is, solving murders.
