With Beckett still in D.C., Castle insinuates himself into Ryan and Esposito's latest investigation, the murder of former child star Charlie Reynolds. The case is soon taken over by Beckett and McCord when evidence ties Charlie to the Russian mafia, and Beckett is confronted with an ethical dilemma that ultimately costs her her job with the Attorney General.

* RebootSnark: The episode centers around the murder of Charlie Reynolds, the star of a ''Series/SavedByTheBell''-like show who was shooting a reunion movie with his former co-stars. The detectives laugh at the contrived plotline of the characters coming back as teachers, and their use of old sitcom catchphrases like "Hubba-hubba". It gets even sillier when they witness the Russian cast and crew trying to recreate the American sitcom vibe. The hackneyed nostalgic setup turns out to be entirely justified, since the film was backed by the Russian mafia and Charlie had been hired as a spy for the CIA because his sitcom character was [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff beloved in Russia]][[invoked]] -- [[ExploitedTrope Charlie used his nostalgic icon status to get an in.]]
