Complete story — includes the ending

An armored car driver is killed and money is stolen during a dropoff. Clues at the scene are similar to an auction house heist that Espo worked nine years ago. Sonya Ruiz ( Angélica Celaya ) was one of three involved in that heist and is still in prison. She was also Espo's fiancée at the time. She is given a furlough and helps Espo track down another member of her former team, as Ryan learns she might still be linked to the current case. In the end, Espo convinces her to surrender and the DA agrees to a deal if she will testify against her partner. However, Sonia will still have to go to prison for at least two more years. Meanwhile, Kate has moved back in to Castle's place, and they mutually agree to hunt LokSat together. However, she cannot get used to his home operating system, Lucy.
