Castle (Nathan Fillion), on his part, continues to dig into the details of his wife's 36-hour disappearance as well as the intention of the people who want her dead.
A new action-packed sneak peek was meanwhile shared over at YouTube which featured a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase between Beckett and some men.
The footage showed the NYPD detective can really manage to dodge her perpetrators but, as they are about to finally make their way out of the building, she and her companion, Vikram (Sunkrish Bala) are cornered.
All of a sudden, a flashbang was thrown in front of them and the gunmen who blocked the door were killed. A mysterious woman then emerged from the smoke and told them that they need to move fast. Beckett demanded that she be told of the newcomer's identity but the gun-toting woman refused to give the details, at least at first.
Later, as they are about to get in the escape car, the woman finally revealed that she is Rita (guest star Ann Cusack) and she is "Castle's stepmother."
The second clip, meanwhile, featured Castle confronting his wife about all that has been going on.
"I didn't do this to hurt you…I did what I did to protect you," Beckett answered as Castle demanded to know about the truth.
Find out more about these intense developments when "Castle" Season 8 airs later today at 10 p.m. on ABC.
