The Opposite Killer? | Monk

Monk solves the case of the... opposite killer? What are the odds of that?

Season 8, Episode 8, "Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy": When Monk's (Tony Shalhoub) insurance company refuses to pay for more individual therapy sessions, Monk joins Dr. Bell's (Hector Elizondo) therapy group, where somebody appears to be murdering his fellow patients.

Monk Synopsis: Adrian Monk (Emmy®-winner Tony Shalhoub) was once a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's most baffling cases. But after the tragic and still-unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, the devastated Monk becomes obsessive-compulsive. His psychological disorder has caused him to develop an abnormal fear of virtually everything: germs, heights, crowds... even milk. Monk's condition costs him his job, but he's back as a police consultant despite the unique challenges he encounters in his everyday life. These challenges lead Monk to hire a personal nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), who is always there to offer her assistance, even with the simplest of tasks (like organizing his sock drawer). Her less-than-subtle prodding keeps the "defective detective" on track in his investigations, as well as in his efforts to convince Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) to allow him to return to the force.

For those who don't know, Monk's insurance was no longer able to support the premium service of one-on-one therapy sessions with Dr. Bell, so Monk was put into a therapy group for a much lower price. Of course, Monk hated that he had to be in the group, so was "happy" to find out the people in the group were being killed off.
In the end, with some group members being killed and the rest quitting the group, Monk was able to have his one-on-one sessions with Dr. Bell under the guise as a "group of 1".

"Monk, you're smiling."
So am I as that was hilarious.

Man, Randy is such a lovable doofus. I think they could have been a bit less over-the-top with it at times and given him a few serious moments as well as some times where he might help solving the crime, but even so, Randy is a great character. Just gotta love him. The actor did such a fantastic job, as all the actors on that show, really.

This is one of the most underappreciated funny set ups for an episode out there hahahahah.

"Let me guess, the victim is not afraid of water"

[slake]

Randy's theories are sometimes correct. The killer in New York City did kill an ambassador to switch coats. But no one considered it until Monk suggested it.

[JustWastedHoursHere]

"There is no opposite killer, Randy. if there was you would have been killed by a rocket scientist years ago." 🤣🤣

[censusgary]

Here’s a tip: When a room is full of poison gas that has just killed someone, don’t stand in that same room having a long conversation.

I laughed so hard when Harold gives his own “Here’s what happened.”🤣🤣🤣
Randy’s just calling him “The Opposite Killer” because if you can name them, you can catch them.😉😂

[sammyg]

"Are you crying?"
"No, I have allergies"
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

The opposite of a spider is obviously someone who dunks his chips into the shared dip after he already took a bite of them.

Because "redips" is the opposite of "spider".

[hannahhamilton]

My favorite part from this episode Harold n Monk work together 'This trunk is protecting us from all the bad stuff " "Okay, you ready?" 1, 2 3, charge, "Whaat?" They see the guy confessing what he did to Dr. Bell

[h.a.s.]

Note: "The opposite Killer" guy is the SAME PERSON who brought us "The Lipstick Assasin"

[djmocha]

I like this episode. Not to give too many spoilers, but I’ve always been a sucker for when enemies become friends

Where is the towel. I wouldn't go swimming anyway, but you see what I mean. Oh yes, Mr Monk we all definitely know what you mean. But good to see that you know how swimming works in practice 😁.

[akhilm]

She just went and touched the bottles... And squated down near the gas

[tobyfitzpatrick]

Dr Bell was doing the "Here's what happened..." !

[GullyRooster]

One of the most unrealistic things in every episode is a police captain not swearing at Randy.

[iganpparamarta]

A falling rocket scientist is the opposite of Randy? So that makes him a flying stupid man?

[elijahulrich]

Stottlemeyer: So, you're saying the opposite of a spider is a tall building?

Disher: What do you think the opposite of a spider?

Stottlemeyer: (Pause) I have no idea, but it's not a tall building!

Disher: Mmm, tell that to the Opposite Killer...

Best moment in the show ever!!! After the reveal of who killed Trudy.

[gerardomacias]

Well if I had to guess the opposite of a spider is a worm. No legs, no exoskeleton, no eyes, some can spin webs, and hairless.
