Storyline

Perhaps partially annoyed by Alexis's ever-present house-guest Pi's health food obsession, Castle is ready to move to DC so he can be with Becket again. For now, he's torn between loyalty to his own curiosity and the NYPD boys, who are breaking in junior detective Grant 'Sully' Sullivan, expecting he gets information from Beckett, and her need to preserve mandatory secrecy when the FBI is ordered to take over a New York murder without specifying the 'national security' aspect. Victim Charlie Reynolds, a former star of a high-school TV comedy from the '90's, had a complex relationship with co-star Ramon Russo, now an acting teacher, who hoped to return to the screen as the series was promised a movie revival. New co-star Svetlana Renkov, daughter of a Russian mob king, is key to the money behind the film and a criminal hidden agenda.
