Castle 2:5
Posted by dorolerium on Sunday, November 1st, 2009
A woman is found dead and thrown down a man hole. Weird. But I guess this is New York, anything can happen here.
Castle is late to the crime scene because just as he’s waking up for the day, his literary agent shows up to tell him that he is maybe going to get the chance to write three books about a certain British Secret Agent. Shut the front door!
Heat Wave is also about to be released, so Castle is intermittently plugging the book release party for it. As I mentioned previously, there is an actual Heat Wave by Richard Castle that you can buy here, if you would like to. Or honestly, just go read about it if nothing else. I still love this merging marketing plan, and I am admittedly going to read that book.
Many people are questioned in the murder of this woman, who turns out to be an illegal immigrant from the former Soviet Union. I’m not positive if they actually confirm that she’s from the Czech Republic, but that location is mentioned at some point. If you watch Dollhouse, you’ll recognize one of the people they question as Lawrence Dominik. If you don’t watch Dollhouse, why not?
Ultimately it comes out that Aleshka was murdered because she was trying to find out the truth about her own child, who was ultimately switched at birth with another little boy. How she figured that the kid she raised, who subsequently died, was not her actual child, is never explained, and I wish it was. But anyway, the not father of her actual child kills her because he is afraid she’s going to rip his family apart with the news. Which he ends up doing anyway.
Castle and Beckett are all sad because they think they’re going to be parting ways, due to the maybe offer to write about a certain British Secret Agent. But then it turns out that Heat Wave is selling really well, people love Richard Castle, and he gets offered even MORE money to write three more Nikki Heat novels. And just like that, we get to see Castle and Beckett working together indefinitely!
Kind of separate from that, I learned this week that ABC has actually signed on for the back 9 of this show, meaning it’s going to have a full second season. I actually didn’t even know that it originally just had 13, but I’m glad to hear it’s been picked up for the rest. Now if only Fox would do that with Dollhouse…
