Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever - S7-E3
Factual error: Since Stottlemeyer is accused of being involved in the lotto fraud he would not be allowed to take this case himself.
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever - S7-E3
Continuity mistake: Right after the taxi driver drives off and the couple approaches Monk and Natalie there is a man passing by right behind the couple, but when camera angle changes within a split second that man is gone.
Answer: The two men are trying to work out a secret deal between them without involving the union, which means the workers' interests aren't being represented and defeats the whole purpose of a union. The mayor would lose labor's support and Cusack's union troubles would just be starting.
