Feeling personally responsible when one of his patients is charged with the murder of a cleaning lady, Monk's psychiatrist Dr. Kroger (Stanley Kamel) retires from practice. This of course sends Monk (Tony Shalhoub) into a tailspin: Not only has he been "abandoned" by Kroger, but he now must endure the tortuous process of finding another shrink. If for no other reason that to get Kroger back on the job, Monk determines to solve the murder--and in the process ends up kidnapped by a drug smuggler who didn't even know the dead woman. Can it be that Monk's fate rests in the hands of fellow patient Harold Krenshaw (Tim Bagley), the man whom he despises more than anyone else in the world? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After considering several candidates, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) decides who will be her roommates during her first-year internship. Back on the job, she butts heads with a pediatric intern to save the life of a newborn child, and also claims temporary possession of a gruesome "souvenir" left behind by the man who raped her patient Allison (Alex Thayer). Meanwhile, Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Alex (Justin Chambers) get their act together, so to speak; George (T.R. Knight) spends a few disheartening hours with the Seattle Grace code team; and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) copes with a patient who speaks no English. In other developments, Burke (Isaiah Washington) finds out why Derek (Patrick Dempsey) may be chosen as chief of surgery over hm; and Webber (James Pickens Jr.) remains close-mouthed over how well he knew Meredith's mom. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
