I worked as an ambullette driver for 4 years, handling wheelchair bound patients,
what that nurse did was maybe possible , the man didn't look like a light weight
and she took him up 10 or more stairs.
I am pretty strong and I would have second thoughts about attempting that from a safety stand point.

I find this episode to be a good start to the season. People say that it's not very Monkish for him not to be cleaning the house as they're tearing it up. Unless he's having a mild dissociative episode like he has had before. They had some nice moments especially in the transitions between therapists.

IT'S GIVE ME A LOT OF CONAISSANCE TO TAKE A SUSPECT.

As you read through the other reviews you are going to see a pattern in each of them. They are going to talk about how this episode wasn't very "Monkish" so to speak, but then again I wasn't expecting it to be. Afterall, his Therapist, Dr. Kroger did pass away so I wasn't expecting this episode to just breeze on by and continue like nothing ever happen. Instead of taking a leap forward and forgetting that Stanley passed away they focussed the episode on him and how it seemed to put a stop to things. So no, the solving a mystery wasn't up to par, but it wasn't about that. This episode was about Dr. Kroger and how lossing him changed the outcome. As a couple comments below me stated that characters are suppose to move forward and they felt that he didn't. They are wrong. He is expressing his loss of his Therapist. That's moving forward...he is learning to work past it which for Monk, is hard. I'm sure that the episodes to come will have that flare in mystery, but right now, it must remain a flicker. Great episode to my standards. I like how it wasn't about forgetting Stanley died and lets go "solve a case" now. It was in his rememberance.

What has happened?? Monk has turned into a whining baby without a brain. The Monk in this episode he isn't clever or funny, and he demonstrated none of the silly quirks that have been so endearing. He didn't uncover a single clue in that special Monk way. Even a 6th grader would have spotted the clues on the stairs and the false wall. I realize characters need to evolve, but theyhave all turned in to mindless props. None of them were believable. This episode was a ridiculous waste of talent. I mean really, who would allow their home to tore up like that.

I don't have cable so I didn't know stanley Kame/Dr.Kroger had died untill this show. There were to many hole in this plot. Monk would be in a hospital being around all that dust and choas.I still love HULU for all the great shows it has.Please try to get some TNT and USA and A&E full episode not just clips.

When I heard that the show was just going to have Monk get a new therapist, I was worried that they were going to try avoiding talking about Stanley Kamel/Dr. Kroger and just give a short "In Memory of" at the end of the episode. But they did the complete opposite, which I was real happy about. Something a little different overall, since there wasn't too much detective work going on, but still a great episode.
