[edit] Plot synopsis
When Monk's paperboy is murdered on his doorstep, and his paper stolen, Monk believes there is something in todays paer someone did not want Monk to see. During the investigation, we are introduced to Monk's boring neighbour, Kevin, who insists Luetenant Disher write down all his past addresses. Later on, Mank loses confidence when it's apparent Sarona is stronger than him.
Monk looks through a copy of the paper, and compares two stories about a hit and run. The police arrest the driver, but Monk claims he's guilty, but he didn't murder the paperboy. Noticing the world news section, he solves another murder from Paris. However, it's also not related to the paperboy.
Monk challenges Sarona to an arm wrestle, and to kind, she lets him win. However, Monk knows this, and feels worse. Also, Kevin announces he is marrying his girlfriend, Vicky.
With no mention of any other crimes or otherwise, Monk throws the paper away, at which point he notices the lottery numbers are the same as Kevin's previous house numbers. Vicky didn't want him to see the paper otherwise he'll learn he's worth $43million. Monk and Sarona try to find him before he's murdered.
Vicky drugs Kevin and lays the car on a train track. As a train comes, Sarona tries to divert the line, but the handle's stuck. After Vicky attacks Sarona, Monk pulls the lever up with seconds to spare.
Kevin leaves the next day, having totally forgotten about Vicky, and leaves the pair a small gift ($400). Having managed to save his life, Adrian regains his confidence.
