Monk season 3
"[1] Stanley Kamel reprised his role as Monk's psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Kroger, in nine episodes, while Kane Ritchotte continued to play Benjy Fleming, Sharona's son.While Sharona is out of town, Trudy's father Dwight (Bob Gunton) invites Monk and Kevin Dorfman (Jarrad Paul) to Los Angeles to look into his suspicions of cheating on a game show that he produces.The trip revives Monk's bittersweet memories of Trudy as he ponders the apparently accidental death of the assistant to the show's host (John Michael Higgins) and unearths evidence of blackmail and murder.Feeling overwhelmed by his OCD, Monk starts taking a new medication to control his symptoms, but it causes a drastic personality change and hinders his ability to find a connection between the two incidents.He discovers that bartender Natalie Teeger might be perfect for the job, but must first figure out why two men who recently broke into her house – one of whom she killed in self-defense – were trying to steal her daughter Julie's pet fish.
