It’s Fashion Week in New York and that can mean only one of two things: either Castle is gonna get lucky with a model, or NYPD is going to work up a case on a model’s murder. Perhaps both?

The Case: A model, Jenna McBoyd, is found at 4:00 a.m. in a fountain with a stab wound in her back and no shoes or purse.

Suspect 1: Teddy Farrow, designer
He was going to make Jenna the face of his new campaign… can he please get that dress she was wearing when she died back? It’s a one-of-a-kind, you know.

Suspect 2: Sierra, model BFF to Jenna
When Jenna didn’t show up for the fashion show, noble Sierra stepped into the final show-closer wedding dress Jenna was supposed to wear. How nice.

Suspect 3: Travis McBoyd, Jenna’s husband
They moved here from Ohio for her career… and their sanity was paying the price. Jenna was being stalked by someone, but NYPD had done nothing to help so. And now it’s too late, you jerks!

Suspect 4: Will James, stalker extraordinaire
Arrested on stalking charges, his alibi for the night in question checked out.

Suspect 5: Wyatt Monrow, photographer
He did the test shoot for Teddy’s new campaign, but it did not go well. Jenna told everyone that he was trying to sabotage her chances, but he had an alibi for that night as well.

Suspect 6: Sierra… again Wait a minute… did I say BFF? I meant frenemy. When Teddy announced the new “Face” of his campaign a few days later, it was Sierra. how convenient. Come to find out, she had been doping Jenna to make her all crazy around Teddy so he wouldn’t pick her. Oh, and also, she was dating Will and had hired him to stalk her and make her paranoid. But her alibi checked out, too. Dang.

Suspect 7: Wyatt… again Hold on… he purposefully made Jenna’s photo shoot bad because she wouldn’t sleep with him? That’s sleazy. So she went to his apartment that night to make an incriminating tape she could play to Teddy. Too bad he figured it out. She attacked him with a glass award at his apartment, cutting his arm, before she fled sans shoes.

Suspect 8: Travis… again Recording still going, Castle and Beckett find the killer… her husband had followed her to Wyatt’s apartment, sure she was cheating on him. They struggled, and he stabbed her with the award. Ironically, she wasn’t cheating, she was trying to make their life better because she loved him so much.

Favorite Moment: The closing when Ryan and Espisito find incriminating evidence of Beckett’s “model” past… “We called your dad.”

Favorite Quote: “Look at naked pictures? If you insist.” -Castle when Beckett wants him to look at the evidence taken from stalker-boy Will’s camera.
