As everyone was leaving the restaurant, Disher said to Sharona, "I hope this hasn't soured you on us at all. Just give it to me straight, is there any chance of another one of these things?" Sharona paused, then said, "I don't know. If the next date isn't as exciting as this it might be a bit of a letdown." She watched Disher squirm for a few seconds, then continued, "Actually, I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes."

Beaming, Disher said to Stottlemeyer, "Wow. I never let myself have any hopes we'd get past a first date. This is incredible!" "Well Randy, I'd give you some advice, but anyone who'd put up with Monk for so long shouldn't be too difficult to reel in. Go get her."

Monk and Michelle watched the whole thing. "So what do you think?" Michelle asked. "A disaster this big can't happen three dates in a row." Monk stuttered out, "Well, I'm really not quite sure yet. Why don't you ask me when I can get some note cards ready?" "It's a deal," said Michelle. She then gave Monk a peck on the cheek and got into a cab. Monk was in agony, but waited until the cab was far away before turning and asking Sharona for a wipe. He was shocked to realize he was open to the possibility of another date, and even found himself hoping Michelle would call soon. He'd get started thinking up what to say as soon as he got home.
