Quotes[]
- Castle: No one is going to be able to tell that we're together by how you're dressed.
- Beckett: Oh, no? I only work in a roomful of detectives. It's their jobs
- Castle: That’s just their entertainment reporter. She’s... my agent has been haranguing me to promote Frozen Heat, so…
- Beckett: Isn’t she the reporter that shows up to cover stories in her bikini?
- Castle: Yeah, I don’t, is... I didn’t notice that.
- Beckett: You wanna try it again? Make it sound a little more convincing?
- Castle: No, I’m good.
- Esposito: Funny how her co-workers thought they knew her so well and she had this whole secret life she was hiding from them.
- Esposito: What's for me?
- Beckett: Nothing.
- Castle: Don't worry about it.
- Esposito: Yo. You took that punch for me. You didn't have to do that.
- Ryan: Well, it's what partners do, right?
- Castle: The only reason I went on the date in the first place was because you made a big deal about being single in public.
- Beckett: Castle, I have twelve missed phone calls from Chip the sportscaster because he thinks that I'm single, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let him mount me in a Speedo just to prove it.
- Castle: You didn't tell me he called.
- Beckett: Really? You're gonna play the jealousy card now?
- Castle: Okay, look, I'll make it up to you, all right? Whatever you want.
- Beckett: What I want is not to have this image of a bikini-clad woman stuffing her boobs in your face. So good luck with that.
- Castle: Don't I even get credit for figuring out who the killer is?
- Beckett: No!

Trivia[]
- This episode marks the release of Frozen Heat, the fourth book of the Nikki Heat series.
- NOTE: Kristina mentions that Fred Willard cancelled on her. Fred Willard has previously played a character on Castle, playing the role of Hank McPhee in Season 2, episode 20.
- Watch for: Kristina sizing up Beckett after arranging the interview with Castle.
- The line that Kristina says "You know no man has ever said no to me", can be traced back to Natalie Rhodes in the episode Nikki Heat where she says a similar sort of line about Castle when she tries to seduce him. Both times Castle was in a relationship (Earlier Gina then Beckett) which shreds light of Castle's loyalty in relationships.
- Ryan and Esposito make up when Ryan took the punch for Esposito after "Always" and "After the Storm".
- NOTE: Towards the end of the episode, in Beckett's apartment, if you look closely you can see that Beckett does the same lip bite twice. One before the camera is on Castle and another one after the camera is on Castle.
- The title of the episode is a reference to the children's book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and its film adaptations.
