ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 8, episode 11 preview: ‘Dead Red’ and Russian politics galore

Tonight, “Castle” aired an episode that was all about the courtroom in “Witness for the Prosecution,” and it turned out to be a heck of a lot of fun thanks to the atypical structure. We don’t typically start a case off after an arrest has been made, but here we did as we got to see Castle and Beckett prove that the defendant was, in fact, innocent. This was an exciting hour of TV with plenty of humor, and it was a great opportunity to play around in this way.

So where do we go from here? The next new episode of the show was entitled “Dead Red,” and you can see some other news in terms of what to expect below:

“When the son of a Russian diplomat turns up murdered, Beckett and Castle find themselves in a dangerous game of international crime and punishment, with Castle having to entertain a jovial Russian security officer who winds up more involved than anyone planned.”

Who wants to imagine that this “mission” for Castle ends up turning out very different than we first expected? The promo below certainly suggests so, as this security officer ends up being a little bit more than just a big fan of his work; he turns out to be rather insane, and involved in a lot of shenanigans. At one point, he even busts out handcuffs and a gun. The only thing going for Rick at this point is that he certainly should be equipped to deal with some of this after everything that he’s gone through over the course of the series to date.
