This last season has spanned a much broader span of time than a usual season. For instance, six months passed between "Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk" and "Mr. Monk Is the Best Man" four episodes later. USA Network has also been airing the episodes out of order; I think "Mr. Monk Goes Camping" was originally supposed to air earlier in the season.

The original script for this episode also had three months passing between the scenes of Monk utterly failing at desk duty and the scene with Monk and his partner investigating the cat. That would have extended his return as a detective dramatically.

I was sort of hoping for more from Shaloub's wife's third appearance (that I remember offhand) but other than that I agree that it was a good episode.

I had the same thought about this being very close to the last appeal, but figured it was an issue with the episode ordering myself.  Either way, wasn't too big a deal.

One last thought from me on the episode: Was I the only one expecting him to find a clue to Trudy's murder hidden in his old desk?

I liked the episode, but found his temporary reinstatement to be a bit anticlimactic.  I'm also beginning to feel like there should be 6-10 more episodes, and not the finale at this point.  BTW, was that Melora Hardin I saw in the finale?  She's been in several episodes to this point, so it makes sense to me.
