Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sharona returns the dog, she opens the gate, turns around and closes & latches the gate. They even make a point of showing the latched gate before she is on the porch. As she is talking to the owner, you see the gate behind her open and then closed between shots. She had latched it, so all scenes should have shown it latched.

Continuity mistake: In the pre-credits sequence, Karen attaches a clip to the right side of Leland's shirt, but a few seconds later, there is none on his right side. They are all on his left side. They also disappear and reappear.

Visible crew/equipment: When Karen and Leland are arguing, a crew member is visible in the van's side window in the left of one shot.
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.
