Mr. Monk and the Miracle - S7-E9
Continuity mistake: At the dinner table, the liquid level in the Professor's water glass varies each time the camera angle changes. (00:21:00)
Mr. Monk's Other Brother - S7-E10
Continuity mistake: When Adrian is talking to Dr. Bell, after he says, "And they needed help," you can see that Dr. Bell's glasses are in his left hand. In the next shot, you can see that they are on his face and his hand is empty. (00:29:15)
Mr. Monk's Other Brother - S7-E10
Other mistake: During gunfire exchange, Jack's gun locks back, indicating it is empty. He then fires 2 more shots out of an empty gun. (00:37:20)
Mr. Monk's Other Brother - S7-E10
Factual error: In the scene where Monk is making pancakes in his kitchen, he is using a stainless steel spatula on a teflon-coated griddle pan. Mr. Monk has OCD and would never risk scratching his pan with a metal utensil.
Mr. Monk's Other Brother - S7-E10
Revealing mistake: When Reese opens fire on Adrian, Jack and Natalie at his house, in a shot from Reese's perspective, the squibs from bullet hits on the ground appear to be below the barrel's trajectory. The bullets should be hitting the ground closer to his targets' feet.
Continuity mistake: When Monk is trying to get out of the Captain's car, Randy is trying to get his wheelchair out of the trunk. In the shots from the rear of the car, Randy is directly behind the vehicle. In the shots from the front, Randy is a few feet away. (00:18:00 - 00:19:00)
Continuity mistake: In "Mr. Monk On Wheels," after Monk gets out of the car, when he closes the door while standing on his unshot leg, he's facing the front of the vehicle. In the next shot, from behind the car, he's facing the rear of the vehicle without having turned around. (00:18:55)
Continuity mistake: In the lab scene near the end, when Monk has the electric wheel chair, Natalie is holding the bottle of pills in her right hand and the drink in her left hand when she gets up from the seat. In the next shot she is holding the drink in her right hand and the pills in her left.
Continuity mistake: Monk eats a sandwich with a slice of one of the square tomatoes on it, however, in "Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum," tomatoes are one of his allergies.
Mr. Monk and the Lady Next Door - S7-E12
Audio problem: Two words near the beginning of Monk and Marge's dinner conversation are audibly spliced. When Marge says "what does a", the word "a" is cut off at the beginning; and when Monk says "detective does" in his response, the end of the word "does" is cut off during the s. (00:15:15)
Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs - S7-E13
Revealing mistake: 7-13, "Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs": The supposedly live stadium crowd outside Bob Costas' press box is a noticeably fake photo-backdrop. Not a single "person" in the multitude of thousands is moving. (00:40:10)
Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs - S7-E13
Continuity mistake: Just where was that evidence locker? Randy borrows a big screen TV from the evidence room and pushes it upstairs toward the ground floor office, indicating the evidence locker is in the basement. But when Natalie arrives and walks through the office, she goes up the stairs instead of down to find Randy with the TV wedged in the stairwell, indicating the evidence room is on the upper floor. The TV wedged itself tight on his way up the stairs, so he hasn't moved it in the meantime: he's in exactly the same spot with the same picture on the wall. (00:40:30)
Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs - S7-E13
Other mistake: At the end when Bob Costas is signing off, the mic is in his right hand with the window on his right). When it switches to Natalie watching the upside down TV, the image on the screen is a flipped image (so that the mic is in his left hand and window is on his left). The broadcast wouldn't be a flipped (or mirrored) image than what we see, otherwise, everything the viewer is watching would be backwards (like the writing and numbers).
Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs - S7-E13
Revealing mistake: When Monk steps in front of the limo to stop it from leaving, on the bottom right of the screen there's a black line that doglegs to the right (seen over Monk's coat sleeve). It's like the camera was cracked or something was stuck to it. When the camera angle changes it's gone, but is there where the camera is back on Monk.
Mr. Monk and the Bully - S7-E14
Continuity mistake: When the bartender walks away after Monk's unsuccessful attempt at bribing him, Natalie's hand instantly changes positions between shots. (00:13:30 - 00:15:00)
Mr. Monk and the Bully - S7-E14
Continuity mistake: When Monk and Natalie are arguing at Monk's apartment, Natalie is wearing a ponytail. However, when the scene cuts to them standing in Fendle's hotel room, Natalie's ponytail is gone, and does not reappear for the rest of the episode. It's the same day, however, since she's still wearing the same dark black coat in both scenes. The most likely explanation is that the scene in Monk's apartment was filmed concurrently with Natalie's scenes in "Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs" - the black-collared shirt Natalie is wearing in the second half of the episode appears to be the same one she wears in the previous episode, where her hair is in a ponytail for most of her scenes. (00:19:35 - 00:21:15)
Mr. Monk and the Bully - S7-E14
Continuity mistake: When Monk and the others are in the hotel room where the victim has been discovered, Monk puts a flower onto his suit. Natalie then takes it off the suit, but in the next shot (as he turns around) the flower is still on him.
Mr. Monk and the Magician - S7-E15
Continuity mistake: "Mr. Monk & the Magician": While Monk and Natalie talk to the magician's assistant, the white rabbits in the hutch shift positions instantly with each change of camera angle. (00:20:00)
Mr. Monk and the Magician - S7-E15
Continuity mistake: In the basement, the configuration of the ropes tying Monk to the chair changes repeatedly between shots, from overlapped to straight across and back again. (00:42:00)
Mr. Monk Fights City Hall - S7-E16
Continuity mistake: Season 7: "Mr. Monk Fights City Hall": Monk wraps himself in chains to stop the demolition. With each change of camera angle, the chains across his chest instantly shift from close together to several inches apart. (00:05:00)
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.
