Not bad for a premiere. Monk Takes Manhattan... and somehow the city manages to survive the encounter. 
I love that Lieutenant guy, even if I can never remember his name. Very cute, but obviously lacking ANY common sense. hehe.
As for the story... very clever. Although I have to say, when they were in the hospital room and the dying guy said he only saw the man's hand, the first thing that sprang to my mind was, "I am looking for a six fingered man." So when that turned out to be the quirk, I burst out laughing. "Hello. My name is Adrian Monk. You killed my wife. Prepare to die." hehe. Despite that, though, the bit with the morphine was really touching. Monk's agony was clearly visible and when it was Trudy who turned it back on... *sniffle* Poor, poor Monk.
Good ep. Can't wait to see what happens next.
edited to fix stupid typo
edited again to say if someone wants to move this to Off Topic, that's OK. I suppose that technically Monk isn't scifi... although Tony Shalhoub HAS done scifi before. Most notably as Jeebs in the MiB movies.
