[edit] Plot synopsis
A pizza delivery man gives Natalie too much change. She runs after him, but finds him dead. Mr. Monk gets sick at the crime scene. The cops can't continue investigating the pizza delivery case as they are working on a high-profile case involving the disappearance of a judge, and Monk can't get out of bed, so Natalie investigates on her own. She makes a startling discovery that the dead delivery man is not the person who delivered the pizza. She retraces the delivery man's steps and soon learns who the real killer is — one of the customers on his route, and the judge's murderer to boot!
Breaking into his house to search for clues, Natalie is soon taken hostage. He forces her to go to the recycling center to recover the pizza box with his fingerprints, but the ailing Monk arrives with the police (in his bathrobe, no less) in time to foil him. They find the box, which is enough evidence to convict him of the murder of the delivery man.
