Line 32:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: As seen in "Sucker Punch", the Irish mob might steal, extort and kill, but they do '''not''' sell drugs.
** [[Historical Hero Upgrade|Bahahahah!]]
* [[Every Man Has His Price]]: A comically harmless version. The few cops that find Castle annoying for hanging around the bullpen change their tune when Castle buys [[Must Have Caffeine|a quality espresso machine]], no less than a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130929152049/http://www.laspaziale.com/english/frame_s5_en.html La Spaziale S5 Compact]. Castle has good taste in machines. Even Beckett (eventually) partakes.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]:
** Only Beckett is determinedly oblivious. Or [[Alternative Character Interpretation|she's having just as much fun toying with Castle as we are watching her]]. (See [[UST]] below.)
Line 108:
** Officer Hastings shows up in "Rise" to give Beckett information at the crime scene. {{spoiler|Establishing her before she is featured as a key character in the next episode "Heroes and Villains"}}.
** In "Rise", Beckett freezes and has a minor panic attack when a suspect points a gun at her. This foreshadows the full-blown PTSD breakdown she experiences in "Kill Shot".
** Of all things, the blurb on Castle's website for ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131228154113/http://www.richardcastle.net/books?page=3 Storm Fall]'' foreshadows "Linchpin": {{spoiler|specifically, the bit where it suggests that Agent Clara Strike, the character based on Sophia Turner, might have gone rogue...}}
* [[Found the Killer, Lost the Murderer]]: This happens {{spoiler|not once, not twice, but ''three times''}} with Becket's mother's murderer. {{spoiler|The first time, Castle and Beckett find the man who murdered Beckett's mother and learn that he's a hired killer, but Beckett has to shoot him in order to get Castle out of a hostage situation. The second time, Beckett manages to capture another hired killer, a sniper, who was hired by the same person(s) who ordered her mother's murder. This sniper is still alive by the end of the episode, but indicates with a stone-faced glare that he'll never inform on his clients. The third time involves a key person involved(really, really complicated) with her mother's murder- '''''Captain Montgomery!''''' She gets to talk to him uninterrupted, and he knows who the mastermind behind the conspiracy is, but [[Subverted Trope|refuses]] to [[His Name Is--|say the name]] anyway, saying that [[Do We Have This One?|the mastermind is so rich and powerful]] that giving her his name would get her killed as certainly as if he'd shot her himself. He dies minutes later. Beckett manages to get out of that scrape alive, but is shot during his funeral, presumably by the people from whom he was trying to protect her.}}
* [[Funny Background Event]]: While on the set for Naked Heat, some nuns with guns can be seen in the background.
Line 382:
** Interesting twist in "To Love And Die in L.A.": They don't have jurisdiction in Los Angeles. But they can use the actors playing the detectives in the ''Heat Wave'' movie, a prop police car, and a set of an interrogation room to make a perp ''believe'' that they do.
