They are able to eventually identify the girl Castle saw murdered and catch a disturbed man they believe did it. However, while visiting the man's psychiatrist, Castle recognizes his voice instantly – the psychiatrist is the murderer. With the help of Beckett, Castle searches a barn belonging to the psychiatrist and discovers a book of his victims. Castle fights with the killer and ends up being held at knifepoint, and Castle ultimately kills him with Beckett's gun. Meanwhile, Beckett is offered the chance to run for state Senate, as well as the chance to become captain of her own precinct, and Castle is given an award for his writing that he dedicates to his family and friends. |LineColor = 0C1F28 }} }}</onlyinclude> ==DVD release== {{Television home release | color = 0C1F28 | title = Castle: The Complete Seventh Season | set_details = * 23 episodes * 966 minutes * 5-disc set * English (Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround) * English [[Subtitle (captioning)#SDH|SDH]], Spanish and French subtitles | special_features = * Bloopers & Mistakes * Deleted Scenes * Audio Commentary * Raging Heat Webmercial * "Definition of Love" by Shay-Jean The Dynamic Duo * The Cast Behind the Cast | region1 = September 1, 2015<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Castle-Season-7-Press-Release/21233|title=Castle - 'The Complete 7th Season's' Press Release is Published!|work=TV Shows on DVD|date=June 22, 2015|accessdate=September 14, 2016|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160921030728/http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Castle-Season-7-Press-Release/21233|archivedate=September 21, 2016}}</ref> | region2 = November 16, 2015<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Castle-Season-DVD-Nathan-Fillion/dp/B00YH8TPB6/ref=sr_1_1|title=Castle - Season 7 [DVD]|work=Amazon|accessdate=September 21, 2016}}</ref> | region4 = November 11, 2015<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jbhifi.com.au/movies-tv-shows/movies-tv-shows-on-sale/tv-drama/castle-season-7/802431/|title=Castle Season 7|work=JBHiFi|accessdate=September 21, 2016}}</ref> }} ==Awards and nominations== {| class="wikitable sortable" style="width:90%;" |- ! style="width:17%;"| Award ! style="width:38%;"| Category ! style="width:25%;"| Nominee ! style="width:7%;"| Result ! style="width:3%;"| Ref. |- |rowspan="4"|[[41st People's Choice Awards#Television|People's Choice Awards]] |Favorite TV Crime Drama |''Castle'' |{{won}} |align="center" rowspan="4"|<ref>{{cite web|title=People’s Choice Awards 2015 Nominations: Full List of nominees|url=http://blog.peopleschoice.com/2014/11/04/peoples-choice-awards-2015-nominees-full-list/|accessdate=November 11, 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108093946/http://blog.peopleschoice.com/2014/11/04/peoples-choice-awards-2015-nominees-full-list/|archivedate=November 8, 2014}}</ref> |- |Favorite Crime Drama TV Actor |Nathan Fillion |{{won}} |- |Favorite Crime Drama TV Actress |Stana Katic |{{won}} |- |Favorite TV Duo |Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic |{{nom}} |- |[[Imagen Awards]] |Best Primetime Television Program – Drama |''Castle'' |{{nom}} | |- |rowspan="2"|[[Teen Choice Awards]] |[[Teen Choice Award for Choice Drama Series#2010s|Choice TV Show: Drama]] |''Castle'' |{{nom}} |align="center"|<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/06/09/teen-choice-awards-nominations-zayn-malik-one-direction-2015-nominees-full-list/|title=Teen Choice Awards Pit One Direction Against Zayn Malik|last=Longeretta|first=Emily|publisher=Hollywood Life|date=June 9, 2015|accessdate=June 9, 2015|archive-date=June 10, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610030449/http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/06/09/teen-choice-awards-nominations-zayn-malik-one-direction-2015-nominees-full-list/|url-status=dead}}</ref> |- | [[Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Actor Drama#2010s|Choice TV Actor: Drama]] |Nathan Fillion |{{nom}} |align="center"|<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/teen-choice-awards-winners-2015-full-list-1201571268/|title=2015 Teen Choice Award Winners – Full List|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|publisher=[[Penske Media Corporation]]|date=August 16, 2015|accessdate=August 17, 2015}}</ref> |- |} ==References== {{reflist|30em}} {{Castle (TV series)}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Castle}} [[Category:2014 American television seasons]] [[Category:2015 American television seasons]] [[Category:Castle (TV series)|Season 7]]'
