* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Stottlemeyer proves to be one. When they hear a blood-curdling scream from the other cabin, and hear Kathy playing country music that her husband hates in the house, he breaks the "no phone calls" rule to see if her husband will come to the phone. When Kathy claims he's in his boat, they all know she's lying since they can see he isn't there.

Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever
While running errands with Natalie and Julie, Monk witnesses a gang murder. The FBI put him in witness protection and take him to a log cabin out in the middle of the woods. Stottlemeyer insists on coming, and Natalie is dragged along reluctantly after she arranges for Julie to stay with friends. Natalie starts wondering if Monk has bad karma.
Meanwhile, Randy has a new girlfriend. Every time he gets fortune cookies, they mysteriously come true.
!! Tropes for this episode include:
* AccidentalTruth: Randy says all of his uncles are deceased; in a later episode, one of his uncles is murdered. Though it could be him trolling Hayley, who is trying to get him to believe in fortune cookies.
* AllsWellThatEndsWell: Thanks to the hitmen compromising their location, and getting killed, Monk's witness protection is lifted and Harry Win doesn't attempt to assassinate him again, presumably because the attempted murder charges stick harder. Natalie also concludes that Monk's karma doesn't make mysteries happen wherever he goes; it directs him to the murders, so he can solve them and catch the killers.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Hayley is working for the same mob and doesn't actually have feelings for Randy. She's just using him so that the gang can kill Monk.
* CallBack:
** Monk and Stottlemeyer have encountered Grooms, who before worked in a specialized bomb unit.
** Stottlemeyer cites all the incidences where Monk happened to stumble upon murder, even when on vacation.
* LogicalLatecomer: Natalie is quite baffled that Monk witnesses one murder and then encounters another soon after, and she starts questioning ''why'' this happens.
* MysteryMagnet: Lampshaded. Natalie and Stottlemeyer lampshade that Monk seems to attract murder whenever he goes, and they talk about if he's cursed.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Harry Win sending hitmen to the cabin ensure that Monk's witness protection is broken. Which means he can return to San Francisco, and the evidence against Win for murder and attempted murder is even stronger since Randy's girlfriend is one of the gang members.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Natalie is revealed to believe in karma and superstition. To be fair, even Stottlemeyer has been wondering just how Monk finds murder everywhere he goes.
* PoliceAreUseless:
** Stottlemeyer cites this as the reason that he goes along to the cabin because he doesn't trust the FBI agent assigned to protect Monk. The same unit had several witnesses killed under their watch, and the locals know the place as the FBI cabin. Agent Grooms doesn't inspire that much confidence, with how he can't blend in with the locals and disconnects the phone when Monk tries to prove a murder happened right next door. At the end, however, he manages to shoot two of the hitmen that arrive to kill Monk.
** Averted with Deputy Coby when he hears the plausible explanation that Kathy murdered her husband. He arrests her after the shootout and plans to do a full autopsy on her husband's body.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Stottlemeyer proves to be one. When they hear a blood-curdling scream from the other cabin, and hear Kathy playing country music that her husband hates in the house, he
* TheRedBaron: Discussed. Stottlemeyer and Natalie debate on calling Monk The Prince of Darkness. Monk asks them to knock it off and not call him that because "that's how rumors get started".
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight:
** Stottlemeyer helps Monk expose Kathy for murdering her husband and ignoring Agent Grooms's orders to not leave the cabin or make phone calls.
** Randy thinks he's doing this when going to the cabin to "save" Monk from an unknown danger. It turns out he accidentally lured Monk's would-be-assassins to the cabin.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Randy receives a (fake) fortune telling him a "friend is in danger" and drives off to the cabin when he can't reach Monk by phone.
* SkewedPriorities: When Randy realizes that his girlfriend used him to kill Monk and they all survive the shootout, he worries more about the fact that she'll dump him after he arrests her for "conspiracy and attempted murder".
