Plot hole: How come Monk and Natalie didn't think it suspicious that Cassie Drake was killed in her house within less than twelve hours after they had found out she was responsible for killing her patient? Since Jake and Ramone were the only two people they had disclosed their findings to (apart from Stottlemeyer and Disher), they should have focused in on Jake much sooner. (00:24:00 - 00:27:00)
Plot hole: Monk and Natalie temporarily incapacitate Jake before crawling all the way down the hall from the bathroom to the living room while pulling a heavy claw-footed bathtub. Exactly why didn't Monk or Natalie think to consider a more permanent solution to preventing Jake from attempting to kill them again, like grabbing his gun and using it to detain him until the police could arrive to arrest him? (00:30:00 - 00:39:05)
Suggested correction: It's tricky to make that determination. First off they were panicked and possibly facing death. Not to mention he was a large and powerful guy. Maybe they grab the gun and maybe they detain him. You can't fault characters for making rash decisions. He was only incapicated for a short time so it may have been risky to take that option.
