Summary

Molly Quinn left small town Texas with two goals: become an actor and travel the world. She has done just that. In this episode, the drawbridge comes down and we cross the moat into Castle. Molly and Nathan reflect on what it was like to build a TV family. Molly also shares insights about eating on camera, talks about her first impressions of Nathan, and explains how Alan inspired her as a fellow ginger in Hollywood.
