So, Beckett's boss (the police captain) who has been her mentor and a show regular for all these seasons turns out to have been part of an ongoing kidnap for ransom scheme (and believe me, there was a whole thing earlier in the year where he got all self-righteous and made some other guy turn himself in for far less), murdered some guy, and then has been aware for years of a cover-up of the whole incident that resulted in Beckett's mother being murdered. Beckett's mother's murder was, of course, why she became a cop, and somehow we're supposed to believe that the police captain mentored her all this time and got her into homicide despite the fact that she was trying to find *him* all these years. It was character assassination of the highest order. I've actually never seen worse on TV. It was like what the Mission Impossible movie did to the MI TV show. Oh, yeah, and he's black.
Anyway, he feels all guilty and remorseful and stuff, and gets himself killed trying to kill the assassin that's been sent after Beckett (because she's getting too close to the truth). Which was useless, because at the end of the ep, some other person kills her anyway.
Okay, he shoots her and her eyes fall shut and it's obviously going to be a fake-out because she's the female lead, there's no show without her, they're not going to kill her unless she demands more money, I'm sure. But they made it look like she died and next season will probably take place nine months later after all the interesting recovery and consequences are over with. So the entire intent of this scene is just to jerk the audience around.
Oh, yeah, and Castle told Beckett he loved her right before her eyes fluttered shut. Which will probably also be put in a drawer sometime during those nine months that they'll never let us see.
