When last we saw our heroes, Castle had done the one thing Beckett had asked him not to: snoop around the murder case of her mother. Well, some time had passed. Castle’s first “Nikki Heat” novel (Heat Wave) is out, and Beckett isn’t speaking to him. When a body turns up in a tree, however, she agrees (at the chief’s instance) to let him help one last time.
Several Castle-common red herrings later, the crime is solved. Seems the victim had been laid off and subsequently gotten in deep with some Russian-mafia-loan-shark-secret-poker-game-types. To pay them back, he became a drug mule for some Hispanic drug runners, only to have the Russians find him before he could deliver and pay them back. Stupid economy. More importantly, Castle finally apologized to Beckett!
TwoCents TwoFavorite Moments
1. Back from a commercial break, Castle (who is wired) is telling everybody in the surveillance van about a conversation he just had with a bartender. I thought to myself, he’s got a wire on. They should have heard that conversation. The writers really screwed up on that one. Then back in the van, Detective Esposito says something to the effect of “Why is he recapping a conversation we already heard? Dude is wired.” Nice.
2. Castle’s apology to Beckett. Seriously, sometimes all you have to do is say you’re sorry.

1. “Somebody hated his guts.” -Castle after learning that the victim had all of his organs removed.
2. “You want me to put on some music? Whenever they do this sort of thing on CSI, they always do it to music in poorly-lit rooms. Kinda reminds me of porn.” –Castle to Lanie as she tries to get a fingerprint off of the inside of a rubber glove.
