In the latest chapter of Castle's hunt for Becket's Mom's murderer, Becket gets a break when contacted by the detective originally on her case nine years ago. Just before he tells her what she needs to hear, he too is murdered, setting off a string of events that leads the cast to pursue two related cases: who murdered the retired cop and who murdered Becket's Mom.
The best thing about this episode was the guest casting. The actor playing Raglan was perfect. Even his younger-self picture was nice, making him look a lot like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. This episode's villain was possibly the best villain the show's ever had. He had a smooth voice and was confidently, quietly menacing. We really need to see this guy again.
Becket's smashing of the villain was also great. We so rarely get to see women express their rage, and it was so gratifying and such a relief to see her angry. We need more angry women; we need more women expressing their feelings without people reacting in fear and disgust but with understanding. Props to Castle for letting Becket's feelings always be understood by her male colleagues and never be considered hysterical.
