Monk


Today, we watched an episode of "Monk" during English class. This episode was freaky. "Monk" is a mystery TV show. Three people died, each person receiving a voodoo doll a couple of days before their death, the dolls showing exactly how they would die. The niece of one victim, Angeline is depressed. Monk finds a horseshoe upside down at Angeline's house-it's weird but he was distracted. Monk's assistant, Natalie, receives a voodoo doll with its head cut off with a scalpel, which creeps her out completely. To cure Natalie's...craziness, Monk brings in Reverend Jorgensen(the owner of the shops where the voodoo dolls were sold) and does a little ceremony thing to uncurse Natalie. Of course, Monk doesn't believe in all this voodoo and curse stuff, but for Natalie's sake...but Natalie drinks the not-edible potion, and becomes sick. She is taken away in an ambulance, and Monk puts the pieces together and finds out who the villain is. Angeline. She was the one who was behind this all. She was a paramedic, and knew about the other deaths. She bought voodoo dolls, decorated it and left it in the dead people's house. She sent one to Natalie to put Monk off her trail. She had then killed her uncle, for his money. And left superstitious items around the house. That's when she nailed the horseshoe the wrong way.
