Continuity mistake: They interview Jimmy Belmont in prison, who complains how Monk sent him there for killing Randy's uncle in 'Mr. Monk Visits a Farm.' However, in that episode, Monk tricked everyone (including Randy) into believing Randy had solved the murder.
Continuity mistake: In the hardware store, a bright blue sign in the background reads "Electrical" in reverse. When Jake hands Monk his card a few shots later, the camera angle hasn't changed, but the sign has turned around and now reads "Electrical" forwards. (00:15:00)
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: As his hypnosis session begins, Monk's arms change back and forth between takes, from resting on the arms of the chair to folded across his stomach. (00:12:30)
Continuity mistake: This mistake occurs when Monk and Natalie are sitting on the stairs watching the two men wrecking the walls. Close up shots show Natalie sitting with her legs crossed while the long shot shows her legs bent at the knee side by side.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when he is talking to Natalie about quitting since he has solved an even number of crimes, Monk is peeling an orange. The peeling that he is letting dangle from the orange changes from above the counter to touching the counter and back to above the the counter, depending on the shot.
Mr. Monk and the Bully - S7-E14
Continuity mistake: When Monk and Natalie are arguing at Monk's apartment, Natalie is wearing a ponytail. However, when the scene cuts to them standing in Fendle's hotel room, Natalie's ponytail is gone, and does not reappear for the rest of the episode. It's the same day, however, since she's still wearing the same dark black coat in both scenes. The most likely explanation is that the scene in Monk's apartment was filmed concurrently with Natalie's scenes in "Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs" - the black-collared shirt Natalie is wearing in the second half of the episode appears to be the same one she wears in the previous episode, where her hair is in a ponytail for most of her scenes. (00:19:35 - 00:21:15)
Mr. Monk and the Bully - S7-E14
Continuity mistake: When Monk and the others are in the hotel room where the victim has been discovered, Monk puts a flower onto his suit. Natalie then takes it off the suit, but in the next shot (as he turns around) the flower is still on him.
Mr. Monk Fights City Hall - S7-E16
Continuity mistake: Season 7: "Mr. Monk Fights City Hall": Monk tells the councilwoman that he knows how the vote went last week because he was there. Yet a few days later, when he and Natalie arrive at city hall for the next meeting, he has to ask which room and which floor the council meets on. (00:07:50)
Continuity mistake: When the victim's niece is crying and Monk is quizzing her about the house, the position of her hands changes instantly several times as the camera reverses angles. She holds her hands to her face as she cries, for instance, but in the very next shot, her hands are down at her sides. Next cut, they're up to her face again. (00:09:00)
Mr. Monk and the Miracle - S7-E9
Continuity mistake: At the dinner table, the liquid level in the Professor's water glass varies each time the camera angle changes. (00:21:00)
Continuity mistake: When Monk is asking Ms. Moody if the roof is known, she's crying into both her hands. But in the next shot, she's only crying into her left hand and her right hand is down. The shot changes, and we see her lowering her right hand, not left. In the next shot her left hand is up again.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, we see Cassie with her watch on her left wrist. But in the shot with both her hand on Joseph's back, the watch is on her right wrist.
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Kloster hands Natalie the cup of lemonade, the cup is about two-thirds full. In the shots from the right side of the car, the level is about the same, but in the shots from the left side of the car, it's almost full. (00:22:30 - 00:23:30)
Continuity mistake: In the lab scene near the end, when Monk has the electric wheel chair, Natalie is holding the bottle of pills in her right hand and the drink in her left hand when she gets up from the seat. In the next shot she is holding the drink in her right hand and the pills in her left.
Continuity mistake: When Monk is trying to get out of the Captain's car, Randy is trying to get his wheelchair out of the trunk. In the shots from the rear of the car, Randy is directly behind the vehicle. In the shots from the front, Randy is a few feet away. (00:18:00 - 00:19:00)
Continuity mistake: In "Mr. Monk On Wheels," after Monk gets out of the car, when he closes the door while standing on his unshot leg, he's facing the front of the vehicle. In the next shot, from behind the car, he's facing the rear of the vehicle without having turned around. (00:18:55)
Mr. Monk and the Magician - S7-E15
Continuity mistake: In the basement, the configuration of the ropes tying Monk to the chair changes repeatedly between shots, from overlapped to straight across and back again. (00:42:00)
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Monk is telling Captain Stottlemeyer about Trudy's death, he says that by the time he got there, she wasn't even able to speak, that she held his hand and died. However, in "Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale," we learn that Trudy's last words were "Bread and butter," and that she said them to Adrian right before she died.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: At the end, a round dish sitting on the island counter in Monk's kitchen disappears and reappears every time the camera angle reverses. (00:41:00)
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: The five dollar bill Monk is holding up instantly reverses itself between takes. It also disappears from his hand as he's backing toward the door, then reappears in the shot after that. (00:30:40)
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.
