Tonight an elderly woman seems to have been killed by a baseball hit by a not-so-“Natural” kid. Was it a different kind of baseball curse?
The victim, Martha Murphy had what appears to be a voodoo doll sent to her. The doll has a baseball on its head, and it was postmarked for a few days earlier. The gang goes to the baseball park to investigate. It turns out that Natalie has the creeps because she believes that voodoo and black magic is real. During their debate, Disher gets a call… he finds out that another doll has been found. They go to that crime scene, which is a man who was killed a week earlier by a lighting bolt. The officer on the scene shows them the other doll… it has a lightning bolt to its head.
Natalie comes over to Monk’s house to try to get him to go on vacation with her. He doesn’t know why she’s so anxious, until she admits that a third doll has been found now. They go to that scene and the doll has a heart on it, and the victim died of a heart attack! Natalie can’t bear to even go to the site at all, insisting on staying in the car.
Later, Stottlemeyer and Disher go to Reverend Jorgensen’s Voodoo Boutique. This is where all 3 of the dolls came from. And I was happily surprised to see that Meat Loaf is playing Jorgensen! He denies any wrongdoing, and later proves that he has a valid alibi for each killing. Meanwhile, Monk goes back to check on Natalie at her house and she is worse than ever before. She points over to her kitchen table, and as we expected, there’s a doll with her name on it. And the head falls off…
Natalie tells us why she is so affected by voodoo. Her & Mitch (her ex husband) lived near a woman who practiced voodoo and warned her that he was in danger. She didn’t believe the woman, and the next day Mitch’s plane was shot down. Ever since, she has believed in black magic. Because of this, she has trouble sleeping that night, worrying about her head. (Or the removal of it). Even though Disher stayed over it doesn’t help her at all. At the station, Stottlemeyer tells Monk there may be something they can do. And at that we cut to a dark figure heading up to a house with a foggy setting, ala The Exorcist. Hmm…
Well, we find out that the house was Natalie’s… and the dark figure is Reverend Jorgensen. He is here to “uncurse” Natalie, or so he claims. He goes through a series of rituals to cure Natalie of her beheading curse, and Monk just wishes it wouldn’t be so messy. Towards the end of the ritual, Natalie drinks his concoction (or, ‘anti-hex potion’) when she was SUPPOSED to rub it on her neck. Jorgensen tells Monk to call 911! The paramedics come and it turns out one of them is Angeline, the niece of the man who had the heart attack. They head out in the ambulance, and Monk & Jorgenesen follow in his van.
Then Monk not only recalls Angeline’s relationship with the heart attack victim, but the lightning bolt victim as well. She was the paramedic wheeling him out in the newspaper clipping. That’s when he figures out what happened. Angeliene’s true target was her uncle and his fortune. But she needed to come up with other victims to keep suspicion away from her. She mailed 3 empty boxes to herself to get them postmarked, and she could add labels later. She ended up picking random victims (being baseball lady and lightning bolt man) who died and she was called on the site for. Then she would later break into their houses and put the dolls in to make it seem like voodoo curses. Then she killed her uncle (as a paramedic could do with a person with a bad heart) and “sent” him the doll.
Natalie figures out that the paramedic is the killer, and the two of them get in a fight. By Monk’s prodding, Jorgensen is able to move up and hit the ambulance and knock it over to the side of the road. They open the back of it and Natalie is ok. Monk tells the driver to call an ambulance, and Jorgensen tells them: “A different ambulance… this one’s cursed”.
Another solid outing for the final season of Monk. I am liking the guest stars they’ve had this season, and Meat Loaf was a nice surprise. A lot of times I have a bead on the killer, or how they did it. I’m pretty well Monk trained by now I guess. But every now & then an episode comes along that stumps me, and this one was one of those. For most of the episode I was trying to figure out how Jorgensen did it, when he didn’t the whole time. I’m obsessive, but apparently not that obsessive.
What did you think? How often do you figure out who the killer is? And, what is your favorite Meat Loaf song? Your two cents is always appreciated.
