All 5th season and in this one too writers create plot holes. In one episode before Monk couldn't use a phone though he did it in previous seasons. In this one he can't step on one step though before he climbed really high, he can't touch a ladybug though before he was touching other insects and even a rat. Obviously writers of seasons 5 and 6 don't remember previous episodes. That's distracting and ruins new episodes.
