Sharona's sister Gail (Amy Sedaris) lands a part in a local play that any actress would kill for. But when the actor playing her love interest literally dies on stage after Gail apparently stabs him with a real knife that was switched with a prop knife, the police are convinced she's taken her role a little too far. Sharona and her mother (Betty Buckley) urge Monk to step into the spotlight and find the real killer before the curtain falls on Gail for good. false 2018-11-03 15:12:18 Ron Underwood 8.2 2003 tt0650614 286430 45 Comedy Crime Drama Mystery https://www.thetvdb.com/banners/episodes/78490/286430.jpg Amy Sedaris GuestStar https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/AjVjRYI1PaC11i4FqGSK1TkwOmq.jpg Betty Buckley GuestStar https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/pP5F1yNuvYfvMuft578k6dwgtAh.jpg Caryn West GuestStar Damara C.
