Castle/Recap/S1 E2 Nanny McDead

Struggling to adjust to having Richard Castle following her for research -- and struggling to adjust even more with his annoying habits and tendency to flirt with her -- Detective Beckett is assigned the investigation into the murder of a nanny, found beaten to death and stuffed into a clothes dryer in the laundry room of an exclusive apartment building. This sets off a convoluted investigation into her death, and when it's revealed that she had sex in the hours before her death it begins to look like Castle's unorthodox and far-fetched narratives might not be far off from the truth...
