　　感恩节的假期，杰迪和特克去一家名叫"免费诊所"的酒吧放松心情，但是一阵突如其来的疼痛把杰迪送回了真正的诊所。心浮气躁的伊丽亚特粗暴地替杰迪作了检查，却无法确定导致疼痛的病因，直到由别的医生接手才确诊是阑尾炎发作。这时考克斯和卡尔索共同接待了一位重要病人，本森医生是先前的内科主任，同时也是考克斯的导师。当本森突发心肌感染时，考克斯已经来不及帮忙了。困惑于自己的工作态度，伊丽亚特找来另一个病人测试自己是否真得很粗鲁，结果非常令人沮丧。卡拉伸出援手帮助她学习温和轻柔的动作。杰迪担心特克能否做好他的阑尾切除手术，特克因此感到很受伤。手术进行得非常顺利。为了不浪费感恩节，特克用轮椅推着杰迪再次来到"免费诊所"酒吧，和卡拉,伊丽亚特和考克斯医生度过一个还算满意的节日。

　　Former police detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), whose photographic memory and amazing ability to piece together tiny clues made him a local legend, has suffered from intensified obsessive-compulsive disorder and a variety of phobias since the unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, in 1997. Now on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco Police Department and working as a freelance detective/ consultant on difficult cases, Monk hopes to convince his former boss, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), to allow him to return to the force. Stottlemeyer, who wavered between admiration for Monk and annoyance at his eccentricities during the first season, is becoming more of a friend to Monk as the series develops, frequently calling him in to help, as much for Monk's benefit as for his own. However, he knows Monk's limitations as well as his strengths and may still harbor doubts about the wisdom of allowing Monk to carry a gun or subdue a perpetrator. Stottlemeyer's second-in-command, Lieutenant Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), also seems to be developing both admiration and compassion for the man he once labeled "the defective detective."　　Despite flaws and inadequacies all around, the three are becoming an increasingly effective team, with additional help from Monk's personal assistant. From the double-episode pilot through the first half of season three, Monk was aided by his nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram). But in the tenth episode of the third season, Sharona was replaced by a new assistant, Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard). Like Sharona, a divorcee with a son named Benjy, Natalie is a single parent, a widow with a daughter named Julie (Emmy Clarke). Unlike Sharona, Natalie is not a nurse but a former bartender with a fresh perspective on "Mr. Monk," as she still addresses her new boss.
