Why would someone replace the money--to keep Steve and his gang in the picture?

I'm not sure how long it would take me to get out into the surf at that beach. I at least know I wouldn't be rushing it. Santa Monica was precisely the right size of waves.

Why would someone replace the money--to keep Steve and his gang in the picture?

My first thought was that it was so Wo Fat can exert a measure of control at the moment it becomes most convenient for him. Then again, I'm assuming it's Wo Fat who replaced the money.

Yes, they should be very suspicious about the magically returned money.

Is no one watching Castle??!!?? The Boys in peril! Beckett and Castle in a clinch! Martha playing the "I'm your mother and I love you!" card!

I just started Castle and, dang, Jonathan Adams, hello.

Oh, first Dr. Daniel Goodman and now Det. Don Schanke. Castle has excellent guest stars for me tonight. Especially because I am only half watching and half listening. But I perk up at voices I know.

I recognize Raglan's fishing buddy from Criminal Minds (he was the dead kid's dad in "Memoriam").

A most excellent ep tonight!!! Ryan and Esposito took lead and broke the case wide open, Castle and Beckett finally clinched (albeit undercover), and Beckett called Castle "Rick" for once. And I just frickin' love Susan Sullivan! She really sold Martha's conversation with her son.

No love for Max Martini? It sounds like we may see him again.

It was a very serious Castle. Not in a bad way, but I did re-watch Nikki Heat afterward to get my fix of the playful side of the show.

I figured three posts in a row of me squeeing for the guest stars? Overkill. But I totally thought it when he showed up.

edit: And, okay, I didn't want to imdb another name. But, yeah, he was awesome. And likely to return, I'd guess.

I did have to look up the last name. It was that or refer to him as scruffy-ginger-goodness which was my first thought.
