Is Castle's Latest Case Out of This World?

Posted: 14 Nov 2010 07:20 PM PST

For once, Richard Castle might not be the nerdiest person at a crime scene.

On Monday's Castle, Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle (Nathan Fillion) investigate a murder that could be out of this world.

Marlowe tells TVGuide.com.

Check out photos of the Castle cast

It all starts when the coroner determines that the victim died in a rare way. "We find a woman who's been killed due to explosive decompression," Marlowe says.
