CASTLE: Dates, Divas, Dancing & Druglords in

By Geannie Bastian

This week on Castle, a popular but mediocre movie actor is murdered while rehearsing for a stage production of Hamlet. But to uncover why he was killed, the team had to unravel why he was even doing that play in the first place.

It seems that he had some tax problems, which meant certain bankruptcy unless he could get some fast cash. Not an unusual method for murder on shows like this, nor is getting involved with drug dealers when things get tough. But getting involved with the sibling rivalry between a drug dealer and his would-be successor? When also attempting to make the dealers biopic? That's new.

Basically out actor wants to make the movie about the drug lord. The drug lords brother wants his brother's job, and oh yes his brother's wife. So he uses our actor and his desire for the biopic to find his brother so he can kill him. In exchange for which he will give the rights to the movie to our actor. Smooth plan.

Except it turns out our drug lord is a thespian. So, naturally he wants to see some quality. Which prompts our actor to take on Hamlet. A role he got by promising favors to an old acting school classmate - namely a gig directing the drug lord biopic. Until he had the chance to do the directing himself, and she offed him with a feather pen. For flair.

Kevin Ryan Stage Dad

Just in case anyone missed several of the signs over the years, Kevin Ryan is a theater nut. And now he’s volunteering to organize little Sarah Grace’s pre school play. After all, what could go wrong?

Plenty, of course. He has grand designs in mind for his little starlet. The other parents not so much. Which is kind of upsetting for daddy Ryan, at least until Jenny swings by with the kids, because Sarah Grace doesn’t so much want to to sing and dance as she wants Daddy.

Enter a ridiculously adorable preschooler as Sarah Grace, who looks like she could easily be Ryan and Jenny’s kid. Dressed as a sunflower. An adorable, singing, dancing sunflower. Whose equally adorable Dad and Uncle Javi are happy to help the little sun drop practice her routine one more time before SG hits the stage. Today preschool, tomorrow Broadway.
