It's Saturday morning at Ashton High School, and the SAT exams have just begun. As the students settle in to their seats, cracking open their exam booklets, everyone is startled by a loud crash and the wail of a car alarm. Rushing to the window, they are shocked to find the body of beloved English teacher Beth Landow strewn across the hood of a car parked at the base of a clock tower. It appears to be a suicide. But school principal Arlene Cassidy isn't so sure. That's why she calls on the services of detective Adrian Monk to investigate. Andrew McCarthy guest stars.

Monk and Natalie stop by Captain Stottlemeyer’s office during his nightly webcam date with his girlfriend, Linda Fusco. Meanwhile, Linda’s real estate partner, Sean Corcoran, is out of town showing a house to a young couple. Suddenly, an intruder appears. Without saying a word, the intruder shoots Sean Corcoran dead, but allows the terrified couple to escape with their lives. The next day, Linda hears the devastating news that her partner has been killed. Stottlemeyer promises to find the killer and sends Monk to the crime scene to investigate. Monk has a suspect in mind -- Linda Fusco.
