Mr. Monk Is At Your Service - S5-E12
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Natalie arrives to the dinner party "pregnant" and Mr. Monk is going to "help her with her coat" there is a female crew member on the other side of the sliding door (to the left of the door). (00:31:25)
Mr. Monk Is At Your Service - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: At the end, the crime is reconstructed and in flashback, we see and hear the murderer makes his fake 911 call. But his words do not match the 911 tape played earlier in the episode. (00:40:00)
Mr. Monk Is At Your Service - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: Monk finds the magazine from which the butler cut out words for his blackmail note, and matches a scrap with the word "Police" on it to the article it was cut from - only the left and bottom edges of the scrap don't conform at all to the hole cut in the page. They haven't been trimmed more. In fact, the whole piece is much too large to fit into the space. (00:36:30)

Continuity mistake: When Paul shoots his butler, you see him raise his arm up straight out, but in the next shot, his arm is lowered with his elbow bent.

Continuity mistake: When Natalie drops Monk off at the mansion, there is a bush in the background. Suddenly a gardener appears.
Mr. Monk Is At Your Service - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: During the brunch scene with Natalie's parents, the rolls in the bread bowl change position several times. In some shots, there are four, in others, there are five. They also go from being piled on top of each other to being arranged in the bowl and back several times. They're out of Monk's reach, so he's not just "making them even" either. (00:04:50 - 00:06:35)
Answer: Stottlemeyer was already upset after the phone call. He was trying to get "Kevin" (who would have to be a judge, but no further character information is given) to issue a restraining order with no evidence of needing one, except that Adrian Monk said she needs one. Kevin said he would need to "sleep on it." So it's clear they've been trying to provide protection and unable to get the results they need, which seems to be based on no one trusting Monk the way Stottlemeyer does. He's just angry that they failed to protect Linda despite all their work. Although it does feel like a scene was cut, or altered, from the show that shows the futile attempts to protect Linda which built up to his outrage.
