Attempting to enjoy some down time, Monk and Sharona take Benjy to a luxury hotel, where the boy witnesses a murder through a beach telescope. Pairing with hotel security officer Rita Bronwyn (Polly Draper), Monk first targets conference-goer John Fenimore (Barry Flatman) before his attention is drawn to the cleaning staff, who seem to operate as a close-knit unit.
This episode was directed by Kevin Inch. The writer was Hy Conrad.
