    The story was good, but the music was too much. Really, too much.

    Like in 95% of the episode there is some music in the background. It's awful when somebody decides to do this to a movie or, like in this case, to a TV episode. My ears and my head were hurting me, I had to just fast-forward the episode, because it was really unbearable.

    Why in the world would you do something like this to your audience? What you gain? The episode is sure not more interesting becuase the music is playing all the time.

    And now, to met the required number of words: Why would you do this? Why? Why? Why would you do this? Why? Why? Why would you do this? Why? Why? Why would you do this? Why? Why?

    • Trivia
      The various Nick's pizzerias are loosely based on the New York pizza wars where there are more than 40 pizza restaurants with some variation of the name Ray's in the name. They include Original Ray's, Famous Ray's and World Famous Original Ray's.
    • Goofs
      Laine Confidently proclaims that the body in the oven went in around 2:00 am based on core body temperature. A body in a pizza oven long enough to burn it the way that body was burned would make it impossible to determine anything from core temperature. The heat from the oven would heat the core so that all record of normal heat loss after death would be impossible.

      Richard Castle: [coming home to find Martha comforting Alexis] What happened?

      Martha Rodgers: Alexis decided to crash Lauren's party, against our better judgment.

      Richard Castle: And I take it that the, uh, party crashing didn't go so well?

      Alexis Castle: None of this would have happened if Lauren wasn't the most conniving bitch in the entire world.

      Richard Castle: Whoa!

      Martha Rodgers: [waving it off] It's warranted.

      Alexis Castle: When the band was performing, Lauren brought Ashley up on stage with her, and she kissed him. In front of everyone!

      Richard Castle: [shocked] Bitch!
