Mr. Monk Is the Best Man is the thirteenth episode of the eighth season of Monk.
In the days leading up to his wedding, Stottlemeyer investigates a gruesome murder. But when things start get personal, his bride-to-be has second thoughts.
Monk and Natalie are at the police station to pick up Monk's paycheck, when T.K. Jensen arrives, dressed elegantly for a special dinner, celebrating her and Leland Stottlemeyer's six-month anniversary. Seeing Stottlemeyer pacing in his office, talking to himself, and other clues, Monk swiftly realizes - aloud - that Stottlemeyer is planning to propose marriage to her. Everyone is ecstatic, but tries to hide it as Stottlemeyer comes out. He sees right through them and glares at Monk, and says he might as well do it then and there. T.K. intercepts him as he starts to kneel, and says she wants to hear the whole speech, as he planned it, when they are alone. He asks, "is that a yes?" Teasingly she says, "you'll just have to wait to find out," but gives him a kiss that is as good as a yes.
A few months later, Stottlemeyer is on a cloud, (on the account of him getting married in 9 days), even over the scene of his next case, a grisly, burned corpse found in a public park. Disher speculates that the man was a derelict - an empty liquor bottle was found nearby - who was shot and burned as a lark by some local thugs. But Stottlemeyer notices some signs that it was more deliberate.
Still on a high, Stottlemeyer calls Monk and Natalie to the station, where Leland asks Monk if he's okay seeing him and T.K together, due to the fact that Monk's wife's name was Trudy. Monk smiles, saying everyone should have a Trudy in their lives. Leland than asks Monk to be his best man. Adrian is overwhelmed, and promises to fulfill his duties perfectly. Amused, Leland says his most important job is not to lose the ring. Monk promises that he won't, and indeed, once he clenches his fist over the ring, it remains closed throughout the following days.
T.K. drops by the station, asking Leland for a favor: her long-time best friend and maid of honor-to-be, Stephanie Briggs, has been arrested for speeding. Since it's her third speeding offense, she has had to spend the night in jail, and her car was also impounded. Leland is a little piqued, but promises to do what he can. Stephanie is released a short time later, and Leland takes the opportunity to retrieve his tuxedo, that Stephanie had just picked up for him when she was pulled over.
Later that evening, Leland and T.K. go back to his house to spend the evening together, but when they enters, they find that someone has broken in and ransacked the place. The two spend the night at T.K.'s apartment instead, but Leland confides to Monk that T.K. was shaken by the incident.
At the crime lab, Monk is busy rearranging the mixed flower arrangement when Stottlemeyer calls him over to check out the victim's shoe. Monk is still holding the ring. He tells Disher to be at the bachelor party at 6:00 PM. sharp, and from the way the dead man's shoes wore down, he determines that their victim was tall and bowlegged. Monk finds a neatly cut thorn, and a piece of Styrofoam lodged in the treads. Monk notices the mixed flower arrangement's vase, and realizes that the Styrofoam is from a flower display and the victim was a florist.
