Watch for: Beckett's face when Castle puts the coffee he bought for her down in front of her the day after she's let him join the case.

Castle's meth-related line, 'Just like that cable show', references ' Breaking Bad'.After Castle is released and returns home it is Alexis that reveals that Castle had planned on returning to the precinct after his book tour for Naked Heat.Beckett's backup weapon is clearly seen in closeup when she hands it to Castle, and can be confirmed by the slide markings to be a Glock 26, the company's subcompact version of the Glock 19, which is one of the three pistols approved by the NYPD for carry.As aired, Castle's ungentlemanly look has been removed, and all we see is Beckett writing on the murder board, turning around, and sharing a significant look with Castle. She's clearly conflicted about what to do next, but Ryan arrives before she can say anything. When she straightens up, he's looking her in the eye. She holds the pose for a moment, clearly happy he is attracted to her. In a deleted scene, when Beckett is bent over writing on the murder board, she realizes that Castle is checking her out.Both were handsome 'everyman' characters who the audience could identify with, and whose kept the team together emotionally.

Xander Doyle's name is a yet another reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and its spin-off Angel), through the characters Xander and Doyle.

While it might seem odd that Castle gestures right at Ryan through the one-way mirror (considering that Castle can't actually see Ryan), his long experience with interrogations would have allowed Castle to guess that Ryan would be standing in his usual place.

Later, Castle refers to him as 'Annie Oakley', a famous female marksman from the Wild West. It's been previously established that while Castle does not have a firearms permit and doesn't own a gun (nearly impossible for a civilian in New York City), he is a slightly better shot than Beckett. This is a major violation of the law, which Montgomery (officially) overlooks.

Beckett loans Castle her gun, which he uses to shoot a suspect.

In this episode, Castle discovers that Beckett broke up with Demming.

Both cases featured glamorous secret lives: the spy game in that episode and the underground burlesque club in this one. In this episode, Castle and Beckett suspect fiancee Evan of committing the murder over an affair, but there was no affair: the killing was really about a counterfeiting conspiracy. A pair of high-powered, successful lawyers find themselves defending opposites. In that episode, a murder appeared to be about an espionage conspiracy, but was really about an affair.

This episode is a mirror image of the previous episode, ' A Deadly Game'.
