Monk - Final Season- 3 more episodes left. Who killed Trudy? - Possible spoilers

[Joseph DiPerla]

Well, we are near the conclusion of this fantastic show. If anyone watches the show, throw out some speculation as to who you think did it and how its going to end? My theories:

As far as who killed Trudy:
*TK (Captains new wife) had some association with an earth now organization type thing. I dont think she killed Trudy, but somehow I think it will be thought that she did it because of her association.
*Trudy was going to expose this organization.
*This organization was behind her death, and I am sure it will be particularly someone. Just dont know who.

Ambrose(Monks brother):
*Will start getting clues as to Trudy's murder, but before he figures it all out, he will be poisened. (Based on a spoiler).
*Not positive on whether he dies or not, but I am assuming he wont because it just wouldn't be pleasant for ending a tv series like that.

Randy:
*I feel will move to New Jersey after getting serious with Sharona.
*Will turn down a promotion to move to Jersey.

Captain:
*Will stay married to TK.
*Will retire from the police force, possibly working as a consultant for them the way Monk does.

Natalie:
*Will attempt a relationship with LT Albright.
*Will discover the truth regarding her husband's death, in which case, I dont believe he really dies.
*Will fail at a relationship with LT Albright for the fact the she will find out he lied about her husband to her.

Monk:
*Will Solve the case of Trudy's murder and why she was murdered.
*Will start being a little less obsessive compulsive.
*Will meet a niece and an aunt, based on a spoiler. I am assuming this could be Ambrose's illegitimate daughter.

Monk and Natalie:
*Either Monk will be content with himself and...
*Natalie will go back to her Husband, realizing he is still alive.. Or, what I am hoping for:
*Monk and Natalie are left together. They may official tell eachother how they feel, or they may leave the show to end with strong hints towards that being the case for the future.

What theories do you have?

I won't even hazard a guess as to who killed Trudy. I'm just happy that the show is calling it a day before it goes a season too long (like Lost or Heroes). Also, the 70s Brady Bunch flashback may be the best episode of the show ever. I'm glad they saved that for the final season.

I dont know. I like "Mr. Monk and the Dog" this season. I thought that was one for the classics!

Monk - Final Season- 3 more episodes left. Who killed Trudy? - Possible spoilers

There's a definite spoiler right there in the thread title. Outside the US, not everyone will know Trudy is dead.

Anyway, my money's on an "it was all a dream" cop-out, Bobby Ewing-style

Err... Trudy has been dead since before the very first episode. The entire show takes place after she died and Monk retired from the force.

That said, there are some other spoilers in Joseph's post that I wish I hadn't seen. Whether or not the spoilers he mentions are true, I thought this thread was going to be all speculation, not inside information about upcoming episodes.

Sorry Snarky, I had put in spoilers in the topic title just in case. I apologize for ruining anything for you.
