Mr. Monk and the Actor - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: During the rehearsal, David, playing Monk, rearranges all the items on the coffee table. But each time the camera angle reverses, the items change positions all by themselves, even when he's not touching them.

Continuity mistake: The yellow-globed lamp on the movie set is hanging crooked when the actor playing Monk enters. He touches it, but doesn't move it at all, yet in the next shot, it's hanging straight. A few shots later, it's crooked again.

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Monk is in Dr. Kroger's office, when he says "it's nice to be home", you see Dr. Kroger putting on his glasses. When the camera angle changes, he's putting his glasses on again.

Continuity mistake: When Ruskin and Monk are tussling with each other, the gun falls onto the wipers, with the barrel touching the wiper and handle up. The next time we see the gun, the handle is down and touching the wiper. It keeps flipping back and forth in various shots.
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.
