3XK has everything you want or would expect from a Castle episode, witty humor, a Castle family subplot that ties in with the precinct's current homicide, and hints of romance between Castle and Beckett. But there are a few things that really set this episode apart from the others.
1. We see the murderer's in the opening scenes. We have rarely seen this from Castle but it immediately shifts the show from a whodunnit into a manhunt, which are both exciting imo but a little spice up is always nice. 2. The crew is tracking a serial killer, which we have only seen a few times since Castle has been on the case. (!)Don't read #3 if haven't watched the episode yet. 3. The first Castle episode where the murderer is known and communicated with, but not apprehended by the end of the episode, leading us to believe he could very well be seen again.
All in all, easily one of my favorite Castle episodes so far and can't wait for the (possible) return of the three times killer.
