Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
After he is attacked and knocked unconscious by a man who claimed to have information on Trudy's death, Monk wakes up with amnesia in a small town. Without a dollar in his pocket, he wanders around town trying to remember who is, until he meets an eccentric woman who claims to be his wife. As Monk tries to adjust to his new life, he learns that a friendly waitress he met in a diner has disappeared. After a little bit of investigation, he is able to determine that she was murdered, but nobody in town will believe him. Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, Natalie, Stottlemeyer and Disher are frantically trying to piece together what happened in an attempt to locate Monk.

Episode Quotes

Monk: A pregnancy test.
Cora: Looks like she had a bun in the oven.
Monk: How do you know?
Cora: Those two little lines there. That means positive. See, you pee on this end.
Monk: (dropping the pregnancy test) Aaahhh! Wipe! Wipe! Wipe!

Stottlemeyer: (Holding a photograph of Monk) I'm putting up four thousand of these. I'm going to put them in post offices, truck stops, and drug stores.
Dr. Kroger: Wait. Wait. Why the drug stores?
Stottlemeyer: I figure he's going to have to buy wipes sooner or later.
