Leland Stottelmeier (Monk) met Linda shortly after it was clear his relationship with his wife was over. Linda was the real estate agent Leland went to in order to find a place to live. Chemistry happened right away with Linda showing him a nice place. When he hemmed and hawed, she slyly pointed out the best feature of the apartment was another apartment just across the way - hers! It could have been something, the looks they gave each other smoked. But in the end, she tried to use Leland to help her get away with the murder of her partner. She planned everything devilishly in advance. Linda started by setting up a routine visit with Leland via computer video conferencing every Friday from her bedroom. Then, as they planned a vacation to Hawaii, she moved into the final plans of murder. Renting a semi-truck trailer, she papers and paints the interior, furnishes it identically to her bedroom. Linda parks the trailer near her partner's home, visits with Stottelmeier via computer, who happens to be with Randy, Monk and Natalie and then runs in to her partner's home and kills him. Of course, Monk zeros in on her as the suspect and when she finds him snooping in her home, tries to seduce him. Then, when Leland has forced Monk to stay away from him, Linda tells him that Monk tried to force himself on her. Talk about giving herself away! In the end, a rolling pen sealed her fate. She'd parked her trailer on a hill and a pen rolled when she put it down. At Monk's encounter with her in her real bedroom, he saw a pen on the same dresser and tested it. It didn't roll. Alas, Linda went to jail and Leland wound up with Randy, on the beach, in Hawaii. Show less «
