During a blackout, Castle and Beckett investigate the death of mental asylum patient Gabriel Shaw, who arrived at Castle's PI office carrying an ax. Shaw, apparently, believed his divine mission was to stop the Antichrist. Castle fears a demonic threat while the team looks into the asylum, a missing orderly, tycoon Victor Crowne, whom Shaw tried to murder as a child, and Oscar von Eckland, heir to another Antichrist-fighter.

In these last episodes of the series, "Castle" has embraced the silliness that gave the show its special flavor and amped it up twofold. In the last episodes Castle has gone a little bit crazy believing in anything, from djinns to superpowers. In this one, he decides to believe in the Antichrist. It is all very silly, a little bit too much for any mystery to be believable, but at the same time quite funny too.
A person that was in a psychiatric house runs away and dies in Castle's P.I. office, not before saying some random words in Latin. The group will try to find the killer, and all seems to point to some supernatural force.
The show keeps the humor and the fun going, and even though there is almost no mystery, it still keeps being a Castle episode. It is nice to see the actors all having screen time and doing a decent job even though, knowing the series is coming to an end, it is curious there is no plot or character development before the finale.
Still, it is a good enough episode to enjoy before the series ends.
