Karen is driving her car to make a documentary, when a sniper shoots a tow truck driver and kills him. The truck hits Karen's car and she is badly injured. When Captain Stottlemeyer learns what happened, he goes to the hospital where Karen will be submitted to a surgery. The main suspect is the union leader Harry Bolston and his right-hand Evan Coker since the drivers are on strike and the murdered driver was a scab. Randy finds that the sniper and the driver were barefoot. Monk helps the investigation and Sharona finds a lost dog at the crime scene and she takes with her. Stottlemeyer is furious and Monk and Randy try to hold him from doing something wrong. Sharona finds the address of the owner of the dog in a tag on the collar and brings the animal to a handsome man. Monk sees a miscalibrated sundial on the lawn his next-door neighbor and adjusts the time. Meanwhile, a second truck driver is killed by the sniper near a factory. When Monk goes to have lunch with Stottlemeyr's sons, the round table reminds him the sundial and Monk solves the case. However, Stottlemeyer is preparing his men to invade the union.
"Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife" is another great episode of this series, with Monk solving the mysterious murder of two truck drivers. When the life of Karen was in danger, Stottlemeyer understands Monk's pain and becomes violent seeking revenge. The conclusion with Karen recovered with her family is nice. My vote is eight.
