ABC’s Castle keeps getting it right by constantly keeping it fresh and [last] week’s ... film noir episode that takes us back in a time machine to the 1940’s is no exception. Entitled The Blue Butterfly, fans get to follow novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), as they investigate the killing of a treasure hunter. In true Castle-style, there is an ominous twist when they discover that the current case is linked to a mysterious homicide from 1947 that involved a hard-nosed private detective. Of course with Castle on the case, all involved are lured into his theory that the only way in which to solve this present-day murder is to solve the mystery from the past. Through stylized flashbacks with Castle as the private eye and Beckett as a femme fatale, the 1947 case is resurrected...
Cast member Tamala Jones (Medical Examiner, Lanie Parish) speaks about her character’s 1947 alter-ego as well as this most special of episodes that she is calling her all-time favorite.
“We had the best time ever making this one! This is my personal favorite and everyone is just going to love it!” Excited that Mark Pellegrino (Lost, Supernatural, The Closer) is guest starring as Tom Dempsey, she says of his performance, “He plays a mean gangster that owns the nightclub that my character, Betsy, sings in...”
... When asked where she would like to see her character’s story go, her reply, “I want to see Lanie and Esposito get back together. Thankfully, things were left open between the two of them.” Wanting to further delve into her character, she questions Lanie’s back story, “Why is she so closed off and why doesn’t she want to marry Esposito?” So will they get back together? “I don’t know! [writer] Andrew [Marlowe] keeps everything a secret!”
Castle airs Monday at 10/9C on ABC.
