Mrs. Hammond (Monk)

Mrs. Hammond (Dale Waddington) is a villainess from "Mr. Monk Goes to a Fashion Show," episode 4.10 of Monk (airdate January 13, 2006). She is a classical musician who was shown in the beginning of the episode grieving over the death of her husband (a fellow classical musician) of six months.
In actuality, Mrs. Hammond turned heel and stabbed her husband to death, committing the murder at some point before the episode's events. During her interview with Captain Stottlemeyer in her home, Mrs. Hammond portrayed the grieving widow to mask her murderous heel persona, with the villainess claiming that she was at the studio practicing playing the cello.
However, Monk (despite being distracted over the woman who inspects his shirts) correctly deduced that Mrs. Hammond was lying, as she couldn't play the cello wearing a long lawn skirt like the one she was wearing. After both Stottlemeyer and Randy Disher realized that Monk was correct, the evil Mrs. Hammond ended up taken to custody and arrested.
