Plot summary
When an actress ( Dina Meyer ) disappears in the middle of a messy divorce, apparently abducted by her husband ( Henry Czerny ), Monk's companions are not able to get any help from him, because Monk has paid a secret visit to a hypnotist ( Richard Schiff ) suggested by Harold Krenshaw ( Tim Bagley ) and is acting like a six-year-old. But when the actress turns up alive after killing her husband in what looks like self-defense, Monk's naiveté might be what is needed to find out what really happened in her disappearance.
