Natalie offers to buy Berry a new bike, but unfortunately for her, the bike was a gift from a non-profit group, customized specially for Berry, so it’s irreplaceable.  Natalie promises to recover the bike, and pressures Monk to help her.  Monk reluctantly agrees.

Monk and Natalie identify the thief, a man named John Kuramoto, from a book of police mugshots.  They go to Kuramoto’s residence to investigate.  Monk knocks on the door, and suddenly, a gunshot rings out from the house.  Monk has been shot in the leg!

Monk is okay, but he’ll be confined to a wheelchair during his recovery.  Natalie feels terrible about what happened, but Monk doesn’t let her off the hook, keeping her at his beck and call every second of the day.

Meanwhile, Stottlemeyer and Disher are on the trail of John Kuramoto.  They learn that Kuramoto was paid a lot of money to steal that specific bike, but they can’t figure out why.  They talk to Dean Berry again, but he confirms that there’s nothing intrinsically valuable about the bike.
