On tonight’s “Castle” season 6, episode 7: “Like Father, Like Daughter,” Alexis enlists Castle’s help on an innocence review case to prove that a death-row inmate, Frank Henson (guest star James Carpinello, “The Good Wife”), was wrongly convicted. With only 72 hours left before his execution, Castle and Alexis (with help from Beckett) urgently investigate the original murder, only to uncover explosive secrets that may seal Frank’s fate.
The series is based on mystery-thriller writer Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), who is called in to help investigate a series of copycat murders based on his books. After completing the job, he finds that he enjoys the experience enough to continue it. Pulling strings, he arranges to accompany NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), claiming he wants to study and use her as a personality basis for his next book series.
Once that initial case was solved, Castle and Beckett continued to investigate strange homicides in New York, combining Castle’s writer intuition and Beckett’s creative detective work. Over the past four seasons, Castle and Beckett’s relationship has grown even stronger as they’ve dodged bullets, captured killers, and solved countless murder cases with their unorthodox partnership.
“Castle” season 6, episode 7: “Like Father, Like Daughter,” airs Nov. 4, 10:00 p.m. ET on ABC. Spoiler video below:
