No Celebrity Endorsement Implied

The only problem is, the Siblings of the Sun don't want her. When Natalie approaches the Siblings at one of their recruiting stations, they quickly lose interest in her when they find out she has a daughter. Before Natalie can do anything about it, Monk steps in and the cult leaders whisk him off to their private ranch.

On the ranch, Monk gets a tour of the grounds, which are filled with serene cult members, and speaks with Brother Zach, who had been stationed in front of Father's cabin the night of the murder on security detail.  Brother Zach tells Monk that he is sure Father never left his cabin that night – he claims he could hear Father talking to God all night, and even heard his microwave beeping.

Stottlemeyer is concerned when Natalie arrives at the station alone and announces that Monk has joined the cult - and it turns out he has good reason to be. Back at the Siblings of the Sun ranch, Monk seems to be falling under Father's spell. Soon he is wearing yellow and selling flowers at the airport, just like all the other cult members.  When Monk visits Father's cabin, Monk finds a syringe cap on the floor and notices that Father seems to have trouble bending over. But when Father confronts Monk about being a police-planted mole, all Monk can focus on is being allowed to stay at the ranch.  He begs Father to let him stay at the ranch, where he doesn't have to think, and professed his loyalty and gratitude.
