### Literary and other references

* One of the synonyms Ryan comes up with is Sleestak. That's the second time he's mentioned them. Obviously a big fan of *Land of the Lost.*
* Also from the Ryan and Esposito synonym stand-off: Orc - a word from the works of J.R.R.Tolkien meaning 'monster/ogre/demon'; Destro - refers to Laird James McCullen, Destro the villain, from the Hasbro toy line G.I. Joe, Skeksi(s) - refers to the vulture-like creatures that act as the main villains in the fantasy film *The Dark Crystal.*
* "The Glengarry leads" is a reference to David Mamet's play *Glengarry Glen Ross*. Mamet is also referenced in 1x10.
* "Karma Chameleon" is a pop song from 1983 by the British group Culture Club.
* *Showgirls* is a 1995 film about Las Vegas.

### Memorable moments

* Castle and his daughter fencing while Martha plays old 'evil landlord' music from the silent film era.
* The jinx
* Beckett with the victim's daughter.
* All the synonyms for 'perp'.
* Beckett teaching Castle to shoot. Sort of.
* Beckett's dress dilemma.
* Beckett and Castle dancing.
* Castle being auctioned off.

### Quotable quotes

* RYAN: Nice dress.
ESPOSITO: What there is of it.
BECKETT: I'd let you borrow it, Esposito, but you stretched the last one out.
* ESPOSITO: Well, let's just say this one's definitely Beckett-flavored.
* CASTLE: How'd they know what was in the safes? Safes...is that a word? Saves? That can't be right.
ESPOSITO: And you write for a living?
* CASTLE: Meredith is more like a crazy aunt with a credit card.
* BECKETT: Oh, so many layers to the Beckett onion, how ever will you peel them all?
* ALEXIS: If anyone comes, we'll fight them off with swords. Or pens, since they are mightier.
* BECKETT: The next time you show up at a crime scene without me, I show you how my Taser works.
CASTLE: Promise?
* BECKETT: Did you know they call you the white whale?
CASTLE: The white whale? Not Moby--
BECKETT: No!
* CASTLE: Where's the dress?
BECKETT: You didn't think I was going to interrogate him in it, did you?
CASTLE: We were kind of hoping.
* JOANNE: How do you get over it?
BECKETT: You don't. But you find one day you wake up and don't mind carrying it around with you. At least, that's as far as I've come.

### Just the facts

Go here to discuss the spec

* Ryan is allergic to goosedown.
* Kate reads the *New York Review of Books*.
* Esposito was working robbery five years ago when he busted Mitchell. The mug shot indicates this was still at the 12th precinct.
* Beckett does target practice to relieve stress, but it probably wasn't very effective this time.
* Martha quotes Anais Nin...and Castle is well-read enough to recognise it.
* *Storm Rising* has a jewel thief in it, heavily based on a real thief, whose cover Castle blew by thanking him in the acknowledgments.
* Alexis can tie a bow tie better than her father.
* Beckett's hair when she's all dressed up looks surprisingly like Martha's.
* Martha was once nominated for a Tony.
* Castle plays poker with Bob the Mayor.
* The women on the social register call Castle the White Whale, because he's impossible to land.
* Beckett does know how to dance, but isn't particularly good at it.
* Castle donated a signed first edition of *Storm Season* to the auction. He (and the book) sell for $7,000, though we don't see to whom.
* Castle somehow knows his own theme tune.
* Alexis has a crush on a boy named Owen in her poetry class.
* Castle introduces Beckett to the Mayor, and has apparently been telling him all about her, including that she's pretty.

### Oops

* When the team is writing all the charity events on the board to see which one all of the victims supported, Metropolitan American Dance Theater is already marked with a bullet point, before that they have figured out that it is the relevant charity.
* When Beckett's filling out the affidavit for the court order, she should be using her full name (Katherine) instead of "Kate."
* When Castle and Beckett get into the elevator, and Beckett is talking about the "Beckett onion," you can clearly see the reflection of a crew member in the elevator doors.
