Watching Monk a second time and saw this one again. It tugged at my heart strings. It showed a gentle and loving side of Monk. While we see how he deals with his own battles, Tommy, the little boy enters his life for a short period of time. Monk stops thinking about what bothers him and focuses on Tommy instead. This made me think if he did adopt him would it make a difference? But Monk knew he couldn't even take care of himself let alone a little boy if he adopted him.
In the end, it made me think Monk would've been a great father with Trudy alongside him. Without her, Monk wouldn't be able to be a single father. I recalled a flashback that Trudy was discussing with him about kids. Not sure if he agreed but it made me think how Monk has slight changes when it comes to someone who he cares about. Most of all, Tony Shaloub did an excellent job showing his acting abilities from being serious to hilarious to loving in one episode. This is one of the main reasons I started watching Monk again,
