In this episode of "Castle" all of the evidence seems to show that Castle's friend, the Mayor, murdered a writer who was about to expose him for embezzling money from his charities. The mayor insists that he is being set up, and Castle believes him, much to Kate Beckett's frustration.
The mystery man who warned Castle to protect Kate reappears and gives Castle just enough information so that Castle can help to prove that the mayor is innocent. He was indeed the target of a conspiracy designed to keep him from running for governor and later president. And it was his assistant who was taking the money.
Everyone in this episode was being manipulated, and the main culprit remains a mystery. The mayor comments that because he was too good, because he would not play along with the bad guys, there were powerful forces working to keep him out of a higher office. My thought was, "I wonder how realistic this is." (Sometimes I think I'm as bad as Hodgins with all of this conspiracy theory stuff.)
At the end of the episode, Castle's mystery "friend" says that he helped because he wanted Castle to be able to stay with the police in order to protect Kate stating, "There are times when a well-placed pawn is more powerful than a king."
