YMMV / Monk S3E10 "Mr. Monk and the Red Herring "

• Strangled by the Red String: Granted, the writers were always going to struggle to come up with a satisfactory explanation for Sharona's exit given the abrupt nature of Bitty Schram's exit from the show, but her leaving to re-marry her ex-husband comes across as a very abrupt and unexpected reason, considering that there had been no real indication in their previous interactions that they were thinking of reconciling.
