    Storyline

    Edit
    Dog trainer Francisco Pilar is murdered after naming Best of Show at a dog show. Castle gets the Labrador he was training temporarily adopted as team mascot, and his nose proves quite useful. Airhead reality TV star Kay Cappuccio, seen leaving Pilar's room, has a motive, but was he or she spied on by the camera planted in the dog's collar. And why is there a customs undercover agent? —KGF Vissers

    • Trivia
      The title is a pun based on the phrase "Embarrassment of riches," which means "too much of a good thing," and on the fact that female dogs are referred to as "bitches."
    • Quotes

      Kate Beckett: So we have reason to suspect that our killer was wearing your perfume.

      Kay Cappuccio: Well, that's impossible. It wasn't even out yet. I'm the only person who had it.

      [cut to observation room]

      Kevin Ryan: Does she realize she just incriminated herself?

      Javier Esposito: I said she was nice. Didn't say anything about smart.
