Who Is In It? Stana Katic, Nathan Fillion, Penny Johnson Jerald , Susan Sullivan
Where We Left Off: We’ll finally find out if Detective Beckett (Stana Katic) survives the sniper’s bullets that hit her as she spoke at the funeral of fallen Capt. Roy Montgomery, after Montgomery sacrificed himself to atone for his role in the murder of her mother — and if she’ll remember Castle’s declaration of love.
What to Expect: Penny Johnson Jerald — best known as 24’s conniving Sherry Palmer — joins the cast as Montgomery’s replacement, Capt. Victoria “Iron” Gates, who takes an instant disliking to Castle (Nathan Fillion). Jerald says that while Gates doesn’t have a dark past like Capt. Montgomery, she’s politically driven and her aspirations don’t stop at being named Captain.
