Part 1 of the two-part sixth-season finale finds Monk on the lam after being accused of murder. Framed for the shooting death of a man connected to Trudy's case, Monk escapes from a small-town sheriff (Scott Glenn) and hopes to clear his name. However, the authorities are determined to find him, putting Natalie and Stottlemeyer in an awkward position when he comes to them for help. ~ Jeanette Martin, All Movie Guide
