DAY 3

The next day reality TV producer Cody Donnelly is brought in for questioning. He tells the team that after he went home, Vivien called him to bury the footage of her as it would be damaging. She said she would give him something better-a chance to film her put away another murderer. She had to put away one last suspicion first but the confrontation was going to happen that very night. So Cody prepared his equipment but got no answer from Vivien when he called her, most likely because she was already dead.

Detective Ryan arrives with news that the cab that took Vivien from her office took her to the apartment of one Toni Johnston, which is most likely the mysterious TJ marked on the victim’s calendar.

Toni is distraught and tells the team she had a secret affair with her husband’s boss and Vivien spoke to Toni about the affair, asking her about whether her husband had a temper and would ever hurt her because she said the spouse always knows. Beckett asks to speak to the man she had an affair with but Toni tells them he died four months ago. It turns out he is Amelio Carsillas, husband to Paula and father to Marina, whom the team already spoke to.

Beckett and Castle speak to Lanie who tells them that Amelio died in his office of heart failure caused quite possibly by a toxic overdose of some pills. Castle thinks that Toni’s husband must have found out about the affair and decided to do away with Amelio himself, before killing Vivien to shut her up.
