Overview

Richard Castle (Fillion) is a famous mystery novelist who has killed off the main character in his popular book series and has writer's block. He is brought in by the NYPD for questioning regarding a copy-cat murder based on one of his novels. He is intrigued by this new window into crime and murder, and uses his connection with the mayor to charm his way into shadowing Detective Kate Beckett (Katic). Castle decides to use Beckett as his muse for Nikki Heat, the main character of his next book series. Beckett, an avid reader of Castle's books, initially disapproves of having Castle shadow her work, but later warms up and recognizes Castle as a useful resource in her team's investigations.

Though she has just resigned, Beckett is drawn back into the investigation. They are able to link Maddox, Smith, and Senator William Bracken (Jack Coleman) together.

Determined not to waste what might be her one and only shot at justice, she throws herself at the case—but Castle knows that there might be much greater forces at work, and that Beckett may not realize that she is in over her head until it is too late. As Beckett wrestles with the conflict between seeking her own personal revenge and her responsibility to see justice served, the 12th Precinct discovers that Bracken has become the target of an assassination and must do everything it can to save him.

He is saved by a mysterious stranger, a spy calling himself Jackson Hunt (James Brolin), and who reveals himself to be Castle's father. Alexis' kidnapping has been orchestrated by a Russian named Volkov to force Hunt into showing himself so that Volkov can kill him in revenge for the death of Volkov's wife.

When an injury leaves him house-bound and bored, Castle becomes convinced that he has witnessed a murder — but with no body, no evidence and no other witnesses, Beckett begins to wonder if his writer's imagination is getting the better of him. While Castle enlists Alexis to help in his off-the-books investigation, Beckett is left to take the case of a murdered IRS agent on her own.

Evidence at a crime scene suggests that a murderous Bigfoot is stalking the streets of New York City.

A routine investigation escalates into a life-or-death situation when Beckett accidentally trips the sensor on a bomb, leaving her unable to move lest it detonate. While Ryan and Esposito search for the bomber to disarm it, Castle stays behind to reassure Beckett the only way he knows how — by testing her patience.[note 2]
104	23	"The Human Factor"	Bill Roe	David Amann	May 6, 2013 (2013-05-06)	522[34]	10.84[35]

105	24	"Watershed"	John Terlesky	Andrew W. Marlowe	May 13, 2013 (2013-05-13)	523[36]	11.16[37]
The team open an investigation into the death of a young woman posing as a prostitute, and soon find themselves facing off against a powerful political dynasty with enough money to escape a murder conviction.

1. "Still" was originally scheduled to be broadcast prior to "The Squab and the Quail", but was rescheduled following the Boston Marathon bombing.[28]
2. ABC ordered an additional episode late in the production schedule, leaving the creative team with limited time to produce a full episode. Instead, the writers developed a clip-show episode using a few standing sets.[33]
