Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man - S6-E8

Plot hole: Monk supposedly hears for the first time that Max was not carrying anything away from the crime scene when he speaks to the witness in front of the church. This leads him to conclude that there must have been a 2nd man with Max 14 years ago. But this does not make sense given that the witness with her photographic memory did not change her testimony and given Monks ability to observe and memorize details it is very unlikely that he did not come to that conclusion 14 years ago already. (00:32:45)

Mr. Monk Is Up All Night - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: Gulliver makes a bet with Monk and puts $50 in bills on the bar. When Monk puts down a $50 bill to match the bet and slides it across the counter, Gulliver's money has changed positions, rotating 90 degrees without being touched. (00:22:30)

Mr. Monk Is Up All Night - S6-E9

Factual error: [SPOILER ALERT] At the end of the episode, it is revealed that the mysterious cab driver had corneal transplants to repair damage to her vision from Retinitis Pigmentosa. RP is a defect of the retina, in the back of the eye, which accumulates pigment, losing its photoreceptivity, resulting in vision loss. A corneal transplant will not restore vision to someone with RP.

Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa - S6-E10

Plot hole: This episode's entire story line takes place in the six days before Christmas (Dec. 19-24). "Bad Santa" is shot in the right shoulder on the 19th, sustaining a wound serious enough to require wearing a sling for the next several days. Yet at the end, a mere few days later, he's recovered enough to have a knock-down-drag-out fistfight with Monk, wielding a knife and throwing powerhouse punches with his wounded arm as though no injury had ever occurred.

Suggested correction: This is technically true, however, Ecuador is a relatively easy country for US expats to request political asylum in.

Mr. Monk Joins a Cult - S6-E11

Revealing mistake: When Monk and Natalie are talking to the cult members, a Culver City bus can be seen driving in the background, which is a Los Angeles bus, but the show takes place in San Francisco. Culver City is home to a lot of movie shooting. (00:09:15)

Mr. Monk Joins a Cult - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: After Dr. Kroger tosses Trudy's picture to the floor, Monk drops the book he's been holding onto the mattress and kneels to retrieve the photo. In the next shot, the book has jumped to a spot on the floor beside him. (00:34:00)

Adrian Monk: Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not.

More trivia for Monk

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.
