CASTLE
CASTLE - "XY" - After passing the Captain's exam in the Season 7 finale, Beckett was surprised with an offer to run for State Senate.

Season 8 of "Castle" begins on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 (10:01-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/John Fleenor) TOKS OLAGUNDOYE, NATHAN FILLION
