Continuity mistake: The broken side mirror that a distraught Stottlemeyer finds dangling from his damaged car wasn't there when Natalie pulled up to the first crime scene. And it disappears again when Natalie runs back to the car and races off to the second crime scene. (00:03:10 - 00:07:15)
Mr. Monk and the Three Julies - S6-E13

Mr. Monk and the Three Julies - S6-E13

Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: The needle Monk finds in the campers' sewing kit threads itself instantaneously between takes. He finds the spool of orange thread, and in the very next shot, tho there's absolutely no indication of any time passing, he's holding the already-threaded needle. (00:22:00)
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: The items on the campsite table change positions radically just before Monk leaps up and knocks it over. Nothing is in the same place that it was just one shot previously. (00:22:30)
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15

Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15

Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: When Monk attempts to steal the truck at the gas station and grabs the sleeping driver's keys, he drives the truck in circles and then stops. When he stops, the truck is exactly parallel to the end of the concrete slab where the gas pumps are located. However, when the police arrive, the truck is now at a different angle with the back of the truck now being closer to the end of the concrete slab than the front. The gas station attendant would not have moved the truck himself as the police would have told him not to touch anything at the scene.
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: When Natalie comes into her house and realizes Monk is there (because he's reorganized the refrigerator), the first camera shot after she closes the refrigerator door shows a Tupperware container with a blue lid just to the right of the refrigerator (facing it) that is slightly turned so that is is not parallel to the refrigerator's side, and then just to the right of the container is a blender with the top lid off. When Randy shows up moments later, there is a camera shot that shows that the Tupperware is now square with the refrigerator's side, and it appears to be a different Tupperware than the first shot, as it looks bigger and appears to have more stored inside of it and it does not appear to have a blue lid. Also, the blender now has the top lid on it. In a third shot, the blender has now moved to the right at least 12 inches, which is confirmed while Natalie is preparing the smoothie: it can be seen that it has moved from its previous position and the blue topped Tupperware has returned. Finally, when Natalie starts to prepare the smoothie, the top of the blender is off and it is not ever seen that she removed the lid herself.
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: When Monk is shot he staggers back against the wooden railing - his arms are barely a foot above it, no way he'd overbalance and fall over. In the angle from behind the railing only comes up to about his waist, and he promptly topples over it.
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Monk is first arrested by the Sheriff, his arms are fully extended for the entire time that he is lying face down on the floor and his head is turned to one side. However, later on, Mr. Monk explains on the phone to Captain Leland Stottlemeyer how the Sheriff framed him. While the Sheriff is changing the gun barrels during Mr. Monk's explanation, you now see Mr. Monk with both of his hands behind his head and his head is now face down on the ground.
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (2) - S6-E16
Continuity mistake: Stottlemeyer enters Natalie's house and closes the door behind him. A few shots later, even though it hasn't been touched again, the door is standing wide open. (00:06:20)
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (2) - S6-E16
Continuity mistake: In the motel room, the newspaper clippings and the scrapbook Monk has been working on change their arrangement on the table between shots as the owner's daughter and her dog are leaving. (00:10:30)
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (2) - S6-E16
Continuity mistake: When Monk is at the hotel, a teenage girl comes in to clean up the room. While they are conversing, the subject of mysteries comes up and she goes out and gets the newspaper and places it in front of Monk on the table. They then talk a little more about it and Monk gestures with his hands for her to take the newspaper away and she then picks up the newspaper off the table and exits the room with it. During this entire sequence, you can see that Monk does not ever touch the newspaper. Later on, at the car wash, Mr. Monk sees a newly-painted red SUV that used to be silver colored. When recalling that the teenage girl said that they were looking for a silver SUV, it now shows Monk pushing the newspaper across the table towards the teenage girl even though he never touched it in the original scene. (00:15:30)
Answer: The two men are trying to work out a secret deal between them without involving the union, which means the workers' interests aren't being represented and defeats the whole purpose of a union. The mayor would lose labor's support and Cusack's union troubles would just be starting.
