I found it weird they never acknowledged how Monk was most human during this episode. The man was rolling on the dirt and stuff! I don't even remember seeing a single wipe in this episode.

What are you talking about, he wiped the kid’s hand and even gave him a wipe to keep in his pocket. One of the only episodes that made me cry, but there were wipes in that episode.

[u/llcooljessie → u/mrboat-man]

We didn't see it, but I'm assuming the diaper changes required a truckload of wipes.

[u/Pitiful-Smoke-8442 → u/llcooljessie]

Didn’t he call 911? Haha. I love Monk!

[u/MisterZebra → u/Pitiful-Smoke-8442]

The 911 call is the single funniest scene in the entire show

[u/Accomplished-Case574 → u/MisterZebra]

It’s a three!

[u/sweetnsassy924 → u/Pitiful-Smoke-8442]

Yes!

[u/WeOutHereInSmallbany → u/llcooljessie]

IT’S NOT GONNA BE ENOUGH!

[u/dante_lipana → u/mrboat-man]

Oh yeah... damn I forgot about that.

[u/MysteriousinthePNW → u/mrboat-man]

It made me cry too.

For me this is a top 5 best episode in any comedy TV series that’s not a season finale.

Edit: I meant series finale, not season.

[u/Many-Cap-6376 → u/cmyk412]

...did you mean series finale? Because this is indeed season 3's finale lol

Edit: typo.

[u/cmyk412 → u/Many-Cap-6376]

Oop, you’re right. I meant series finale. Thanks!

[u/MrLlamma → u/cmyk412]

Absolutely. I cried so much, made me feel more than I was prepared for, and to think about my own life/ future, whether or not I'll ever be capable of raising a child and feeling that kind of connection

[u/Carlong772]

"Nature is dirty" is something I say every time I'm invited to go away from my town

This is probably the best episode of the show.

[u/DrSharkeyMD_2]

One of the most emotional episodes on tv.

[u/DrSharkeyMD_2]

Don’t forget the wipes for viewers tears…

[u/Savvyypice]

Man I really wanted to watch this after getting through Psych again and then they took it off of Peacock 😥

[u/Independent-Shake-11]

This is probably my favorite episode

[u/CRaXII]

I think it's the same situation when parents say they don't want a pet and raising one is a big burden then you bring home a dog and they fall for the cuteness and you cannot break them apart. The joy of having someone in your life will overcome all anxiety😊

" our " Man Leland says monk made a friend .the boy immediately calling him monk repeatedly 🥰.only part I never like is Natalie correcting monk by saying " he doesn't understand what you're saying" and she condescends to the little boy by talking like a baby for him .          

[u/707Riverlife → u/alcalaviccigirl]

👍😁👋

[u/alcalaviccigirl → u/707Riverlife]

I knew one of Lelands women would be reading so I remembered the correct name ☺️😆😉

[u/HeartoftheSun119]

One of my favorite episodes. Melts my cold cold heart every time

[u/AmbassadorSad1157]

💕💔

[u/Curious-Anywhere-612]

He seemed like the best fit because he knew exactly what the kid needed

[u/MadAboutYou-Niverse]

That's why he needed Trudy so much, love always reminds Adrian that he's going to be okay.

[u/Apprehensive_Lie_177]

Seriously, one of the very best episodes. 

[u/Accomplished-Case574]

It’s a three!

[u/NatoStrapper]

One of the best episodes, showing that beneath Monk’s often misanthropic exterior is a man still capable of love and connection — in this case, toward someone else’s child. His willingness to consider adoption, even after the "traumatic ordeal" of facing a full diaper on his own, makes the moment all the more touching.
