wow, that would be an incredible twist, but no, no. the accident happens. odette is killed. barbra survives. and in the midst of all the chaos and rubble, she sees her chance. she switches identification with odette, and she changes her destiny. in one move, barbra builds herself a better future, a perfect life. until she was murdered a year later. yeah, well, separated twin stories never end happily, except the parent trap. blood tests are back. odette and barbra were not biologically related. and barbra has no living family we could find. (castle) if they re not related, how can barbra look so much like odette? (esposito) i don t know. but we do have an address for her former place of employment, a strip club in midtown. see, we ve been operating under the theory that odette was murdered because she was odette. but what if she was murdered because she was really barbra? (beckett) find out everything you can about barbra. in the meantime, i m gonna reinterview odette s brother paul.
where d you get the bag? a friend gave it to me. your friend odette morton? we talked to the salesperson, jasmine. she said that you were with odette when she dropped 100 grand on clothes for you. odette was very generous. she s also very dead, and i know a blackmail scheme when i hear one. maybe odette had something going on in her life she wanted to keep secret. you found out about it and told her that the price for your silence was a closet full of fancy duds. but why would i kill her? maybe she couldn t give anymore, you got frustrated, you killed her. maybe she decided to come forward herself, accuse you of blackmail, you killed her. jasmine, these are just off the top of my head. we can finish off this conversation at the precinct. wait. last month, i was here working late, and i happened to see odette walk by my desk real fast, like she was upset. next thing i know, here comes brad melville, like he s looking for her. (castle) brad melville, the show s host? why would the host o
of maggie in cat on a hot tin roof, are you? that was 1983. i think i m over it. martha rodgers as maggie the cat is more of a helpless kitten, mewing and flapping her hands when she doesn t get her way. you memorized it? i couldn t help it. you walked around the apartment quoting it for months. mother, i m just saying, maybe it s not a good idea to ask an important favor of someone who s been so. unkind to you in the past. the operative word here is past. i think i can rise above. besides, my acting school is more important to me than some old grudge. well, that s very mature of you, mother. thank you. if tennessee williams knew what crimes martha rodgers had committed against this audience in his name, he would have her arrested for assault. (exhales) rising above. (beckett) come on, castle. how mean can this critic be? i m just afraid that she s gonna get her heart broken, you know? i mean, you know my mother. on the exterior, she s a tough cookie. but underneath all that
fat chance of that. just remember, martha, those who can t do teach. and those who can t teach become theater critics. ha! ha! (door opens and slams) gram. oh. ohh. could ve been worse. (castle) it couldn t have been worse. my mother exposed her gooey center, and oona marconi drove a stake through it. well, tell her, i feel her pain. thanks. i will. anything new on the case? yeah, unis found the cafe that odette went to at 11:00 a.m. the day that she was killed. scoring drugs off her mystery man? more like scoring a fat-free latte. she met up with a friend for coffee. suzanne steiner. a friend? leaving the studio on show day was a very big deal. what was so important that it couldn t wait? according to suzanne, she just wanted to talk about old times. hey, we got a fax from the lab. that clear vial of liquid that we found at odette s apartment? it wasn t illegal drugs.
a very big however. tell em. there were some anomalies i found suspicious. evidence of petechiae in both eyes, fresh bruising on the right side of mr. morton s nose, which could have happened if, say, someone was holding a pillow over his face. all in all, i think there s ample evidence that mr. morton was murdered. ample. murdered. i am just so proud. dad, work. (whispers) boundaries. right. one more thing. when i requested the file be sent over, the clerk told me that i was the second person this week to ask for it. odette morton was there on tuesday. so barbra realized odette s grandfather was murdered and must have thought carson the butler had something to do with it. and then when carson figured out that barbra knew too much, he killed her. we re gonna bring him in first thing in the morning. and arrest him for a double murder. (castle) good morning. speak for yourself. oh, richard. i really messed up. i just let my ego get the better of me,
