Monk Bids Farewell Tonight

After eight seasons of solving other people’s mysteries, Adrian Monk finally gets closure on the greatest mystery of his career tonight when the truth about Trudy’s death is revealed in the Monk series finale.

Part one of the finale saw Monk poisoned with three days to live unless the toxin can be identified and an antidote administered. Unfortunately, the man who could identify the toxin was hit by a train and died. How does all of this tie into Trudy’s death? Surprisingly, we already know who killed her, we just don’t know why.

Solving Trudy’s murder is just a part of the payoff for fans in the series finale. We’ll also see some unexpected changes in Monk himself, see each of the other main characters find resolution in their own way, and we get a new song from Randy Newman to cap off the series. We’ll be watching, with a box of Kleenex, as we say farewell to Monk, Natalie, Captain Stottlemeyer, and Lt. Disher.

The Monk series finale airs Friday at 9/8c on USA.
