Mr. Monk and the Other Woman is the seventh episode of the first season of Monk (TV series).
Monk's dedication to his late wife is tested when he meets a beautiful woman, Monica Waters, who has her sights set on a certain obsessive-compulsive detective. Will a burgeoning romance interfere with a murder investigation? Or is it all part of a larger plan?
As attorney Lou Pratt finishes his day's work, a shadowy figure creeps into his office and kills him by stabbing him with a knife and strangling him with his telephone cord. He then removes and burns a file from the file room, then stabs and kills Pratt's assistant, Regina, when she walks in on him. It's not long before Monk is called in to assist with the investigation.
The prime suspect: Lawrence Grayson, the client whose file was burned in Pratt's office. At Grayson's home, Monk learns that not only did Grayson owe the dead attorney money, but that he had also threatened Pratt one year earlier, after Pratt failed to win an injunction to keep Grayson's neighbor, the lovely Monica Waters, from building a garage near Grayson's property line.
Monk can't believe that a petty legal dispute over a simple garage could turn so deadly. He also can't believe the striking resemblance between Monica Waters and Trudy. Monk is smitten, and he arranges to have dinner with Monica to discuss the case. However, it's clear Monk is more interested in Monica than in the murder.
Later, at Pratt's funeral, Monk explains to Sharona that Grayson couldn't have been the one who murdered Pratt, because the struggle lasted for at least three minutes, something that Grayson wouldn't have done as he was a former Green Beret, and thus would have overpowered Pratt far more easily. One of Pratt's elderly clients keels over dead after Monk berates him for coughing. The old man's nephew shouts at Monk for his heartlessness.
Stottlemeyer is convinced of Grayson's guilt - that is, until the figure kidnaps Grayson's dog to lure him in, then bludgeons him with a shovel, breaking his neck. Suspicion now falls on Monica, who Monk refuses to believe is a killer. Stottlemeyer and Sharona fear that the love-struck Monk is putting himself in harm's way. Their fears are confirmed when they learn Monica's husband has been missing for several months and is presumed dead.
While Monk is spending the night at Monica's house (ostensibly to protect her), Stottlemeyer calls him on his cell phone and warns him about the missing husband. He and Sharona rush over, believing that the husband is buried under her new garage, but Monica, hurt and confused, tells them her husband is actually at a private clinic in Switzerland, being treated for schizophrenia. Embarrassed, Stottlemeyer withdraws.
In every episode of Monk and the Monk Movie, at least once, some variation of the question, "What are you doing?" is asked.
