A couple find a DB in a fountain. Alexis (Molly Quinn) and Castle (Nathan Fillion) help Martha (Susan Sullivan) rehearse for a part in a play. Alexis comments Martha would leave them if she landed the lead and went on tour. Martha says Alexis would be sad but Castle would be happy. Castle leaves when he gets a call, "death, murder mayhem" is almost becoming his catchphrase. Alexis wants him to take her with him but he tells her to find her own "space to hide."
Ryan (Seamus Dever) can't find the DB's shoes and her purse is missing. Lanie (Tamala Jones) finds she was stabbed in the back. Castle posits she was a model, underweight, etc. She was a model for New York fashion week and she'd been to a club. Castle saying they descend here like locusts, only "locusts eat." She was modelling for Teddy Farrow (Julian sands) and her dress is missing. Castle comments he almost filed for custody of those dresses during his last divorce. He can imagine the blurb of his next book: "New York City fashion week and the clothes are to die for."
Teddy claims the Vic, Jenna was stressed out and she was to be the face of his campaign. She became bad tempered and paranoid. Castle notices a woman who waves to him, Beckett (Stana Katic) tells him to "hook it." Sierra (Torrey DeVitto) was her best friend, allegedly and her pink satin pumps are missing. The dress was one of a kind and Teddy asks for it back. Beckett says it's got a hole in the back where she was tabbed. It's also evidence.
Castle doesn't recall Rina (Shanna Collins) and she wants him to sign her magazine for her. The Castle story and photoshoot is out (from 2.1) . It was apparent Sierra was piling on the fake pity and not the pounds! Jenna was meant to close the show but she'll get to do it now and become the face of the campaign instead. Travis, (Matt Barr) Jenna's husband (my suspect cos they forget to look at the spouse first, first rule of detective work, always suspect the spouse. I am beginning to sound like Tony (Michael Weatherly) here from NCIS.
Travis claims to have looked for Jenna and filed reports of harassment with the police. She was sent letters and photos. Ryan comments there wasn't any address or signature on the letters. Esposito (Jon Huertas) sarcastically comments the 'anonymous stalker' was a rooftop photographer. Beckett is determined to solve this case and not let Jenna down again. Castle bought plenty of the magazine issues home. Alexis breaks the news Martha didn't get the lead but got the crazy granny role. Where she dies in Act 1 offstage. Castle says he was picked up by a model. Alexis: "It's a curse being so irresistible." She asks if she's a Lola, Bree or Tatiana. Alexis recalls her babysitter was named Rina.
Lanie finds signs she fought her attacker and had bruises. Her dress was torn and she was stabbed with a long, sharp glass object. Castle: "She was stabbed with the Washington Monument." Esposito found an SD card on the rooftop. She also found traces of a drug used for ADD but model's use it for weightloss. Beckett wonders why Jenna was stalked since she wasn't famous. Beckett has a magazine on her desk and why wouldn't she since she was in there too. Castle calls Beckett a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Angelina Jolie, at least she's been described that way by the reporter. Beckett is upset and she told Ryan and Esposito about Rina. Castle suggests they shouldn't talk about her like that, "She's somebody's daughter, somebody's babysitter."
There's a hit from the SD card to James (Jon Fleming). Beckett noticed he had a comp card belonging to Jenna at his apartment, which she knows about. A card used by models' agents. Ryan and Esposito ask each other if knew of the comp card. Obviously Beckett was a model or had associations with the industry. She gave herself away there. James has an alibi and denies writing the letters. Travis says Jenna didn't use drugs and points the finger at Wyatt, (Jeffrey Pierce) the photographer. That was dumb cos he led them right to the evidence and then back to himself. He agreed to do another test for Jenna. Teddy announces Sierra as the new face of his campaign.
Castle mentions the Talented Mr Ripley, Dead Ringers and Showgirls. Beckett: "No one murdered anyone in Showgirls...I hear." Which surprises Castle. Castle spins another yarn about Sierra stabbing Jenna. Beckett asks with the Washington Monument in her purse. Rina gives the lowdown on Sierra about how she drugged models and Beckett assumes she drugged Jenna too. Ryan and Esposito show up with photos from the SD card. James was the stalker after all. Ryan asks if Beckett is "missing the glamorous life." Beckett calls Castle, "big Rick" for which he thanks her.
Sierra confesses to dozing Jenna and she slept with Wyatt for her photos and she enjoyed it. Wyatt's room overlooks the fountain and he left the party early. Castle finds the pink shoes at his place and there's a missing glass award too: his helo. She was alive when she left. She taped Wyatt to show Teddy and they fought. She hit him with his helo. Beckett says not everyone in the modelling world are predatory, again speaking from experience. Beckett doesn't believe Wyatt killed her and didn't clean his place up. Also why would he dump her in the fountain below his window.
Beckett doesn't find any App on Jenna's phone for recording but she bought another phone and the GPS was on. It was found in an alley. Wyatt's story checks out and there's another recording. Beckett is going to make the killer confess and since they didn't say who it was, it could only be Travis. He suspected her of cheating on him and saw them together. Beckett threatens to play the rest of the recording unless he confesses. Castle also speaks when Beckett told him not to. Travis killed her for nothing, she loved him and was going home to him.
Beckett was upset cos Castle didn't give her a copy of the book to read first since she's the inspiration. He should have known and she should have asked. Ryan and Esposito upload a photo of Beckett onto her computer from her modelling days. She modelled one Summer, the money was easier than waitressing. Martha did okay and gets to die onstage at the end of Act 1. Rina comes over to watch DVDs with Alexis. Castle wanted to have a friend looking out for Rina.
Castle going goo-goo eyes over a model - he can't place her face until Alexis tells him she was her babysitter and he gives up trying to chase her. Hey he even ends up defending her, 'somebody's daughter/babysitter.' How sweet. Deep down, he's a big softie at heart and that's why we love him, though he won't admit it. It'll tarnish his reputation as a womanizing playboy writer. No dresses at dawn though (oh no just thought this could be interpreted as a bad joke, and it's not meant to be, you know dresses, models) no shaved heads and no continuity from last episode. A bit of a shame - not even a mention of their bet. They were all too caught up in the models this time round.
Beckett defending the industry she once worked in was a nice touch. Her character really has changed and evolved this season which goes to show how much she's developed and Castle's backed down from investigating her mother, though we know that won't last for long. He's Castle after all. Castle really believed Rina was coming onto him. How easy was it for Ryan and Esposito to dig up things about Beckett - now if only they spent that much time on their cases! Joke.
Good to see Castle's family didn't give him any clues this time as to solving the case, made a change. Also it was Beckett who came up with the idea of the phone and how to break Travis into confessing. She's a detective after all, ha.
Torrey DeVitto is of course married to Paul Wesley from The Vampire Diaries and she and Matt Barr were both in One Tree Hill.
