I am a HUGE Monk fan and I am so fed up with everybody thinking Monk and Natalie are going to get together.
First of all, we all know that Monk is traumatized about his wife's death still and I know what your thinking: Monk finally figures out who killed trudy, and since he now knows, he is no longer grieving her death and in a very dramatic and gushy moment he realizes he loves Natalie. DUDE!!! This show is NOT a soap opera!!! He Still loves his wife and he will never stop Grieving unless she's still alive or the show is all a dream and the past eight years never happened.
Second of all, Natalie doesn't love monk like that, she loves him more like a dog. She has to take care of him, make sure his prolems are in check and she is always annoyed when he does something wrong. Take 'Mr. Monk is on the run', when Natalie finds out Monk Alive she hungs him and kisses him on the face, some might find this as a sign that they are going to get together, but think about it, I have seen this exact behavior when someone finds their lost dog but never when someone found their missing boyfriend or girlfriend.
And thirdly, think of Natalie's Dating style as seen in 'Mr. Monk and the red herring.' and 'Mr. Monk and the leper'. Trudy was calm and Simple, which is one of the reasons Adrian loved her but Natalie is all to wild for him.
Now in my opinion a good pairing would be Natalie and Randy.
But if anyone wants to give me any reasons why Monk should be with Natalie just tell me.
