Meanwhile, socialite Sonya Gilpert has been murdered in her bed, leaving the obvious suspect to be Dale Landers the rock star who was sharing it with her. Considering she was shot in the chest at close range, his insistence that he slept right through it right next to her and didn't hear a thing is met with skepticism, and it looks like an OpenAndShutCase-- except we all know what this show's like regarding open-and-shut cases.

Added DiffLines:

The events of "Knockout" take their toll on our heroes; Beckett, recovering from her gunshot wound, makes no contact with the others for three months, driving a wedge between her and Castle. Meanwhile, there's a new captain at the Twelfth -- Victoria Gates, a [[DaChief no-nonsense]] [[ByTheBookCop by-the-book type]] who, naturally, is not particularly impressed by Castle or his eccentricities and makes no secret of it, meaning that Castle is no longer welcome at the precinct -- and Alexis, naturally, reacts to any suggestion that he might go back with great hostility. And the investigations into Beckett's shooting and her mother's case have both gone cold, having been suspended due to lack of evidence or progress. Beckett thus continues the investigation on the quiet, but it soon becomes apparent that she's not as unaffected by what's happened to her as she'd like the others to believe, and that she might be spiralling even further out of control.
