- Mr. Monk is contacted about a case by the man who once bullied him in junior high. The former bully, who has since become prosperous, hires Monk to find out if his wife is cheating on him. Unsurprisingly, Monk views this is a sort of revenge on the bully who tormented him so long ago and takes an unholy glee in backtracking where Rod, the husband, thought he saw his wife cheating on him. Mr. Monk and Natalie actually see the woman themselves, along with her paramour, and take a picture to show the deceived husband. Rod doesn't believe them, as the picture ends up being far too dark to make out faces easily, and takes Monk off the case. The next day, Monk decides to keep on investigating on his own because he wants to prove to his former tormentor once and for all that his wife is cheating on him, again with an ugly gleam of enjoyment. The police discover the wife's lover dead in a hotel room, stabbed to death. Upon learning of Monk's peripheral involvement with the murder, they immediately suspect Rod of the murder, and bring him in for questioning. He not only denies the murder, but claims to have an iron-clad alibi in his wife, who was with him all night. When she arrives at the police station, she denies this, claiming she cannot lie for him as he expected her to do. Monk realizes his former enemy is innocent, sets out to prove it.
