Our Castle season 6, episode 14 recap of “Dressed to Kill” gives us more hints at the wedding date and a look at Kate’s wedding dress.
Castle opens with two fashion students digging through a dumpster for fabric. While they are playing tug-of-war over a rather nice piece, a dead body is revealed.
Cut to Martha, who is showing Kate bridal magazines, and Rick is a little concerned she is getting overwhelmed. When Rick starts to look at the magazines, he finds a place that could actually be their venue. Rick begins to make a call when they get the call for the murder.
The dead girl is Ella, who used to work for Matilda King, an Ana Wintour-like fashion editor. Esposito and Ryan interview the victim’s roommate, who says Ella didn’t really have a life because she was always on call for Matilda (think The Devil Wears Prada).
Kate and Rick go to Modern Fashion to interview Matilda King. Kate seems to know quite a bit about the magazine, and Matilda, who reveals that she knows Kate. Interestingly, Kate used to be a model but turned down a big photo shoot.
Matilda had fired Ella yesterday after she had made several scheduling mistakes. Matilda also fired Grace, her other assistant, because Emma had made the mistakes. The two fought as they were escorted out of the building. In photos that caught them fighting, Grace is wearing a blue fur scarf.
During her interview, Grace says she feels her career in fashion is over because of Ella. The scarf that seems like the smoking gun was a present to all Modern Fashion employees. Grace says she saw Ella arguing with a man and that he threatened her.
Ryan and Esposito discover a bug in Ella’s apartment. Ella’s building manager let an exterminator in to the building, but the company he works for doesn’t exist. They find a witness who saw the same man Ella was arguing with outside the alleyway where Ella was murdered.
Rick manages to match the sketch to a lawyer, Mr. Conway, who works for Couture Chic, which is the competitor to Modern Fashion. Conway stated that they had approached her to spy for them, but she declined. Ella had contacted him the night of her death to meet because she had information on Modern Fashion she wanted to share.
Ella phoned Conway using her landline, which means whoever was listening heard her discussing her plans to rat out Modern Fashion. The person who planted the bug was head of security for Modern Fashion. He says that Matilda King was the one who ordered the bug be planted, and she was the one who could hear what it picked up.
Matilda left Modern Fashion right after Ella called Conway. Kate goes to speak with Matilda and sees her arguing with Glen, the new owner. Matilda admits to bugging Ella, but says it is in the fine print of their contracts. Matilda says she ran out of the office because she was late for drinks with Oscar de la Renta.
Esposito listens to the recordings from Ella’s appointments and discovers a call to an IT tech at Modern Fashion because she thought she was being set up. Someone outside of the magazine had been changing the appointments. When Kate goes to talk with Matilda, she ends up trying on a wedding gown. She is excited, but sadness seems to creep over her.
Meanwhile, Rick and Martha are looking at the venue for the wedding. Rick is disappointed that it isn’t available until 2015, but just when he is ready to give up, someone cancels and there is an opening for the spring. Rick calls Kate to talk with her about a spring wedding, and she seems to panic more. Will there be a Castle wedding at all?
Rick and Kate discuss why she said no to the spring, and she insisted that there was just too much planning. Rick isn’t necessarily convinced, but a break in the case ends the conversation. A designer named Yumi was the one changing Matilda’s calendar. Yumi’s designs happen to look exactly like Ella’s. When they begin to question Yumi, he asks for a lawyer.
Yumi has an alibi, but there is another person involved from Modern Fashion. Matilda pulls Julian aside; he knew that Yumi had stolen Ella’s design. He also made the changes to Matilda’s calendar. Julian used Ella’s scarf to strangle her.
Kate says she has paperwork to do, and Rick leaves. Kate definitely seems off still. When she goes to her apartment, she finds the wedding dress she tried on, a gift from Matilda. Kate heads to Rick’s and tells him they have to talk. Kate explains that she is having trouble with the wedding stuff because of her mom. Kate tells Rick that her mom would have loved him. Kate says she wants to have the wedding in the spring.
