Meanwhile, a report by TVGuide hints that a baby castle may be on the way. Executive producer David Amann told the website that, with her mother's case now solved and Richard her husband, she will start to contemplate the future. Beckett was previously entangled with her mother's investigation and now that it's solved she can move forward. He said, "She's trying to figure out what her next step is, and that encompasses family. Her relationship with Castle is settled, so she's at a place now where she really needs to be thinking about, 'What does she want that future to be?' It seems like children are going to naturally be a part of that discussion."

But Amann cautions it won't be anytime soon as right now she's only questioning her future and considering the possibility.

Meanwhile, TVLine reports that actor Ricardo Chavira actress Reiko Aylesworth will appear in episode 18 as a popular congressman and his wife respectively. The congressman's life is in danger and Kate and Richard must help him.
