And it's no wonder that the show is doing well. This was one fabulous episode, couple a mysterious murder with the great fun of the normal life of Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion).
The episode started with Castle's agent showing up at his door at 7:30am to tell him that he potentially had a book deal for three books about a certain well-known British spy. Apparently, said British spy who shall not be named was the entire reason Castle became a writer in the first place. What an exciting offer...except it would mean no more Nikki Heat books. At least, not for a while. Then again, Beckett (Stana Katic) might be happy about that.
Regardless, Castle joins Beckett in the investigation of a young woman found beaten and dropped in a manhole. Though they are given the runaround, they finally discover the murderer. The interesting part is his reason and the murder victim's own investigation. Her son died of a congenital disease 3 years before, but it turns out that he was not her son. Her son was switched at birth by Dr. Talbot (Reed Diamond*). He was the one who killed her to prevent her telling his wife.
On the lighter side of the episode, Castle's book launch was extremely successful. So successful that the 3 book deal became one for Nikki Heat novels. There was a beautiful scene at the end of the episode with both he and Beckett on the phone. Castle's agent was telling him about the terrific success of his book and his new contract, while Beckett was being told by her boss that she was going to have to continue to put up with Castle to keep the mayor happy. And so the terrific partnership continues! And we get to watch it for the rest of the season.
