(ABC/official Facebook page)

"Castle" added a political spin in last week's episode and focused on Ryan's character. This week, the show will add a dash of legal drama as Beckett and Castle investigate the murder of a dead personal injury attorney.

International Business Times reports that Richie "The Pitbull" Falco is murdered and Kate and her team look into the lawyer's clients and competitors in order to catch the culprit. Unfortunately, their investigation becomes much bigger when shocking secrets are linked to the dead man. The pair will try to solve various mysteries surrounding him.

Actor Roshawn Franklin stars in the episode, however, his role is unclear. Nevertheless, promotional photos of "Habeas Corpse" show detectives Ryan and Esposito chasing Roshawn Franklin which means the actor may be the prime suspect for the lawyer's murder.

Meanwhile, TVLine reports that the mystery surrounding Castle's three month disappearance will finally be deal with in episode 20 which will air next week. Fans may recall that Esposito wasn't convinced about Rick's reason for disappearing while Ryan was more open-minded. Actor Seamus Dever, who plays detective Ryan's role, confirmed that the truth behind Castle's mysterious disappearance will surface soon.

Showrunner David Amann told TVLine that the season's penultimate episode will be classic "Castle" episode, whereas, its finale will "focus on compelling, high-stakes story-telling surrounding Castle and Beckett mythology." Viewers know that any "Castle" episode is highly engaging and exciting but it looks like the finale will be even more interesting.

However, even though "Castle" has maintained a consistent fan-following, there have been no announcements from ABC regarding a renewal. Cast members haven't yet received contracts and Dever confirmed that nobody spoke to him about a possible season eight. Dever jokingly said, "I'd like some answers, because my mother-in-law is very concerned that I'm going to have to get a teaching job. (Laughs) It'd be nice to get some answers soon." Fans would like to get answers too.

Episode 19 airs on Monday, March 30 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
