When Sharona first sees the hanging man in the bathroom, the screwdriver is in his left ear. When they switch to a closeup of the man, the screwdriver is in his right ear.
When "Screwdriver Man" collapses on Sharona's car, he knocks the driver's side mirror loose. It is repaired when Sharona returns to the car. Although he apparently did a thorough cleaning in about two minutes, there is no way an actual repair could be done that quickly.
In the opening scene, when Sharona and Monk first turn off of the street to enter the underground parking garage, she starts to go down the slope and stops but, when Monk exits the car, they are back up on the "flat" of the sidewalk.
When Varla is sitting on the counter with a sandwich in her hand, she puts it down on her right side before she hops off the counter. When the scene changes, the sandwich is on the plate to her left. When the scene changes again, the sandwich is where Varla was sitting directly on the counter.
They must have taken many variations of this scene.

Prior to making an arrest, Stottlemeyer accused the suspect of arranging for a cremation so the body can't be examined after death.
Upon a suspicious unattended death, like this, an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause of death. Toxicology samples would likely be taken during an autopsy.
So a cremation wouldn't necessarily obscure the cause of death due to a poisoning.
Except that, without any real evidence of a crime, it wasn't a suspicious death and no autopsy would have been performed.

While getting down from the counter top, Varla puts the sandwich down on the right hand side. When she starts to walk away, the sandwich has shifted towards the left on a plate. Then Monk tries to slide the sandwich on the plate.
When Sharona sees the "hallucination" outside Mrs. Preminger's window when she's there to talk to her about quitting the class, the camera cuts to Mrs. Preminger, and a camera man with some equipment is shown moving in a reflection in the painting behind her.
This show is full of improbable scenarios.
Sharona sees a man hanging from an exposed pipe in the bathroom.
The man, and the pipe secure enough to hold him, are missing upon a second look less than a minute later.
I would be impossible to remove a pipe that quickly.

In an earlier episode when Dr. Kramer got the new white noise machine, Monk complained that it was a half-octave higher, in this episode, they complain that it's a half decibel louder (easily fixed with the volume knob) but they missed the target with decibel =/= octave mark.
