Mr. Monk Visits a Farm - S5-E14
Character mistake: When Randy Disher is having Chinese food in his apartment with his new girlfriend in 3-12 "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever", he gets a fortune stating that he is going to get money from his uncle, and says that he doesn't have an uncle. In this episode Randy inherits a farm from his uncle who appears to have committed suicide, but was actually murdered.
Suggested correction: Randy says when that uncle dies that they were never close, so his leaving him the farm comes as a total surprise. It's still a character mistake, however, Randy is established as the sort of person who could "blank out" a relative that long-lost.
Randy says he can run the farm because he went there and helped his uncle every summer.

Continuity mistake: Natalie carries a large box full of house plants into Monk's kitchen and starts placing them one by one on the counter while he answers the phone. Each time the shot changes, a large red flower switches itself from the left side of one plant to the right side and back again, and sometimes disappears altogether. (00:09:00)

Continuity mistake: In this episode, Randy says that his uncle left him a farm in his will. In the episode "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever", Randy stated that all of his uncles are deceased. Kind of hard to be given a farm from a guy who's been dead since Season 3.
Suggested correction: Not necessarily, as in many cases when someone is trying to claim someone else's inheritance it can take years until such a case is finally resolved by a judge's ruling.
The point of the mistake is Randy said all his uncles are dead, but then later, Harvey Disher is alive. The farm wasn't in some probate court for years, Harvey had died the month before.
True. Obviously my bad! Thank you.

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy is talking to Harvey, after Harvey refuses the money, he puts his hand on Harvey's shoulder. But the next shot, it's off. It switches to back on depending on the camera angle.
