For all those folks that posted in the forums that they wanted to see more character development with little Ms. Julie Teeger it looks like prayers were answered.

That's two in a row that had me laughing about every chance that I got. I liked how they took and used the whole Psycho spin...it played well with Monks squeamish tendencies. Julie taking that driving test was classic, brought me back to what I must of been like when I was going for mine some time ago. I felt bad for Stottlemeyer though, brand new Dodge and by shows end my old beater looked show room compared to that. USA you continue to amaze me with how the show is being revamped...good job!moreless

This is one of my favorite episodes of Monk. The most ironic thing about this episode is how I was working on learning to drive when I saw this episode. It's nice to know Julie drives worse than I do (XD) There's hope for me yet! One of the funniest parts of this episode was the beginning where Stottlemeyer got the new car he's always wanted. Unfortunately, Natalie wrecked it several times when she heard of a homicide victim by the name of Julie Teeger. The second best part was when Randy was forced to dress up as the crazy guy's mom in their plot to catch the guy they thought were killing the Julie Teegers. Another funny part was when Julie was on the phone with her friend and was telling her how cool it was to be under lockdown. All in all, a very good episode.moreless

This is what I'm talking about! There hasn't been an episode this good since Sharona left! Okay, maybe a few, but the show has gone downhill ever since Sharona left. Monk has become a complete caricature, The Captain and Randy are flat characters more often used as mere props, and Natalie and Julie are painfully dull and useless. This episode however, was funny and origial, yet reminded me of the quality, well written episodes from the first 3 seasons that made Monk such a hit! I hope the writters keep it up, because until this episode, I thought this season was the worst yet.moreless

- (Monk meets with Dr. Kroger in the middle of the night) Monk: I just want to thank you again for seeing me on such short notice. Were you sleeping? Dr. Kroger: (in pajamas and robe) No, no. Happy to do it. Monk: Your wife wasn't too happy. I could hear her in the background. Dr. Kroger: No. Madeline is fine. Part of the job. And she knows that. Monk: Does she have Tourette's Syndrome? Dr. Kroger: (long considered pause) Yes. Yes, she does. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Matthew's Mother The subplot of Matthew's mother Julie dying and his stuffing her and pretending she's alive, and Monk encountering her, references Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), starring Anthony Perkins as a disturbed young man with similar mother issues and an interest in taxidermy. Edit
- Stottlemeyer: You think he might be a robot assassin sent from the future? Referencing the movie The Terminator (1984), where a cyborg from the future (Arnold Schwarzenegger) comes back to kill everyone with the name Sarah Connor. Edit
