History Recap / CastleS7E8KillSwitch

* {{Greed}}: Carol buys shares of a pharma company that makes vaccines for a deadly strain of flu and colludes with an executive of that company to have a sample of the flu stolen. She then has Jared infected and manipulates him into going to a crowded area to unwittingly spread the disease, thereby starting an epidemic which would justify the sale and use of the vaccines, allowing the company (and Carol) to profit immensely. When Paul stumbles onto the conspiracy during his investigations into the pharma company, she has him killed.

** Early in, Castle goes through the duos that he's reminded of, now that he and Beckett are married, such as ''Series/McMillanAndWife''. Beckett mentions ''Film/TurnerAndHooch'', and that Castle "still reminds me a little of Hooch", a reference to season 2 and the 2nd season open.

* ChekhovsGun: Jared keeps sucking on his inhaler as he gets more and more sick. Turns out it's the virus delivery system, and the plan was for his asthma to kick in as he got nervous during the fake bombing.

* BaitAndSwitch: Early in the episode, Esposito talks to Ryan about being ready to move forward in life, becoming a husband and father. At the end, Marisa (who he connected with about being former soldiers who became cops) says she lied about not having family, that she has a five year old son. As Esposito looks stunned and we're thinking he's about to move on... she asks "Who's Lenny? Or is it Lanie?". She learned how to read lips after an IED blew out her ear drum and he was muttering Lanie's name under his breath before they took down Jared.
