Recap:
A woman running for her life. In her robe? A man confronts her.
Martha tells Castle she's in his debt. For urging her to take the audition. She's off to a wardrobe fitting. Alexis is off to the library to study. She gave Kate a goodbye kiss. That's new. And she's been thinking about kids.....
Kate and Espo at the murder scene. Lanie says the victim was strangled 24-36 hours ago. She was running barefoot. Since she's in a nightgown, she has to be local. Lanie says there's something familiar about this.
Susan Watts. Ryan says the girl had a record. He gives Kate the address.
She goes to the apartment. Katrina says Susan moved out 3 months ago. They were roommates for a few months. Susan got a job and could afford a nicer place, so off she went. Who did she work for? Doesn't know....Susan was secretive about it.
Espo says there's nothing about Susan in the neighborhood she died. And Ryan can't find records of her employment. Only reference is for a job placement firm.
Espo goes down to the morgue. Lanie found a feather in the victim's hair. Do you remember Pam Hodges? Yeah. What does Pam have to do with Susan Watts? Lanie thinks they're connected.
Kate goes to the firm. Lanie calls her. Susan had cosmetic surgery like Pam Hodges. Performed by the same doctor. Kelly Neiman? Lanie's gut says this is Neiman's work. Kate, are you there? Kate sees photos of Neiman at the job placement firm. She's absolutely connected.
Kate calls Castle and tells him about the case.
Kate and Gates talk about the case. Do you think 3XK played a part in this? Unclear. Neiman could do this all by herself. Kate asks for Castle to be brought in as a consultant on this case. Gates says he works on this case only. If the DA is on board. Ryan says Neiman started seeing patients here 6 months ago.
Kate goes to the hospital. Remembers the previous case. Including the song. Kate sees Neiman face to face. We meet again. Neiman compliments Kate's face again. And I bear you no malice. What can you tell me about Susan Watts? Neiman says she doesn't know her. Kate shows a photo. So you won't mind if I take a look at your patient records. Of course not, as long as you have a court order. Neiman gives her a gift bag in parting.
Kate calls Espo and says put a detail on Neiman. And look through the security footage at the hospital. But there is good news - Castle is on the case.
Kate and Castle in the precinct. Espo has something. Tori shows Susan carrying a Kelly Neiman gift bag from yesterday afternoon, after Susan is dead. We need to know where this woman is. Look who's driving - 3XK! Jerry Tyson is alive.
Gates and Kate tell everyone to search and find this woman and the man she rode with. Castle tells them about 3XK. Rick always doubted that Jerry Tyson was dead. And all the 3XK evidence is gone.
Interrogation of Kelly Neiman. Kate shows her photos of the woman. Kelly doesn't want to say. Kate says I know why you're here, to see what we have. Not giving the woman's name makes you look guilty. Give it to me now, or I'll visit your hospital in an hour with a dozen officers. Neiman says that's Amy Barrett. Kate says whatever you're up to, what Tyson is up to, we'll stop it.
Amy moved out of her place 2 months ago. Castle says Neiman is creating victims for Jerry Tyson. They're groomed for 3XK. Espo says we have the license plate. His address is 4 blocks from the murder scene.
They go to the apartment. Stop the man from going out the window. It's Jerry Tyson, or looks just like him!
Espo and Ryan looking through the apartment. Gates calls. No sign of Amy Barrett, yet. Michael Boudreaux came from Iowa 6 months ago and works in construction. Espo found Amy's phone under the bed.
Castle and Kate preparing to interrogate Jerry. Still no evidence, though. But there was kidnapping and the use of Ryan's gun. Neiman and Tyson are partners....maybe for years. Kate says we'll bring them down. They go in to talk to Tyson. This guy says he doesn't know them. Okay, this is Richard Castle and I'm Kate Beckett. This is a misunderstanding. Amy's a sweet girl and stays at the apartment. What about Susan Watts? Don't know her. Where's Michael Boudreaux? I am. Who else? Jerry Tyson. Oh, I get that from time to time. Kate says you look nothing like Michael. So why don't you explain that? He says I got a little work done. Points out his scars. So you got surgery to look like a serial killer? Was the surgeon Kelly Neiman? Yes. She's the best. So how are you going to prove you're Michael? How do you prove I'm not?
Gate says Tyson's prints don't match the man in custody. This man has Michael's fingerprints. Castle says Kelly put the fingerprints on Tyson. And Michael has a lawyer who says there's no cause to hold his client. Gates says we have to release him unless we can show he's Tyson or connect him to this murder.
Kate gives instructions to Ryan and Espo. Espo says maybe this guy is Boudreaux. Tori says Michael's credit card was just used at a coffee shop.
Castle talks to Michael in holding. Trying to rattle him. He insists he's Mike. And doesn't know who Susan Watts is. Castle posits that you were raised by a beautiful blonde single mother and you kill the women to get back at her. So was I right? This IS all about your mother.
Kate finds Amy Barrett. Did you use Mike's credit card? Kate says you will be Jerry Tyson's next victim. Castle calls Kate. We can compare Tyson's DNA to his!
Kate and Castle talk to Jerry Tyson's mother. He hasn't lived here since he was 9. She says Jerry wasn't my blood. He was Jeff's kid. Jeff took off and left the boy. He was a hellion, born that way. Do you know where Jeff is now? They're both dead. Jerry came by years ago to get all his stuff. But the woman kept a few keepsakes. Kate and Castle look through them. It's toys. There's a tooth!! A baby tooth. Got him.
Neiman at the precinct, waiting for Mike. Kate tells Castle. Tyson is back in the interrogation room. Castle keeps thinking back to the hotel when he figured out who 3XK was. Kate's phone. Amy Barrett calls. I saw her, the girl that died that looked like me. You think Mike....? She says she saw Mike with Susan 3 days ago. She says she's afraid. Kate says I can protect you. I'm coming to get you.
Espo and Ryan. Ryan is pacing. Waiting for the DNA results.
Castle visits Mike/Tyson again. Thought you might like some company.
Kate gets to the corner. Firecrackers set off. Where's Amy?
Castle asks him if he ever gets to White Plains? I get the feeling she was the first person you ever wanted to kill. But that'd be too obvious. Better to hunt women that look like Gretchen once did. But now you've taken it to the next level. Amy and Susan look just like Gretchen used to. So how many victims were there? 5? 10? 20? After all, you don't have to hunt them. You raise them, like livestock. It's you. Yes it is. If by you, you mean Mike Boudreaux.
Neiman stands. Gates walks out of her office. She goes into the room and addresses Mr. Boudreaux.
Neiman and Mike leave hand in hand.
Castle says Ed Turner is an anagram name. They wanted to be here.
Beckett! She gets a call. We will meet again..... She gets drugged. Syringe in the arm! Neiman gets a call - it's done.
To be continued!
Next week - Kate's about to be operated on. Castle finds a woman and says he's so sorry...
