Plot

A plastic surgeon is found murdered with his fingernails ripped off. Castle looks into Beckett's mother's murder despite her protests.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Leeds was found asphyxiated by a plastic bag in his long overdue parked car when it was finally towed. Before his death, he was tortured with broken fingers and ripped off fingernails. He was reported missing weeks ago by fiancée Courtney Morantz. Leeds has a threatening, dissatisfied patient and a secret patient that his staff knows nothing about. Meanwhile, Castle has a forensic expert look into the murder of Becket's mother that occurred 10 years ago. Castle also has to deal with Owen, his daughter's 'suspiciously' inconspicuous prom date.—KGF Vissers

When the plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Leeds is found dead asphyxiated by plastic bag and tortured by broken fingers, Castle, Beckett and her team investigate the case. They find that Dr. Lee was working to Uncle Sam and his last client was a man from the witness program. Soon they learn that a professional hit-woman was hired and she wants to kill her victim. Meanwhile Castle is investigating by his own the death of the mother of Beckett.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
