So I've been rewatching ep 3 and noticed there's kind of a glaring error in the story line.

They are able to find the drug dealer because someone phoned 911 when they heard the gun shot. When they find the blood pool, Esposito states that the 911 caller called from about 50 yards away. At that distance, even late at night, she should've been able to see there was a group of people at the bench and that the drug dealer dude came running from the wrong direction?

Also, if 911 is called, shouldn't they have shown up and found the body before Brandon had a chance to come back and move it?

That is a good point….. That episode was my least favorite not sure why.   But now you've got me thinking I should watch it again.  WHICH BY THE WAY WHAT HAPPENED TO CASTLE ON THE ABC.COM WEBSITE NO CASTLE LINK TO WATCH THE EPISODES.   GOOD THING I BOUGHT IT ON MY ITUNES ACCOUNT

While the above bothers me about the episode, I still liked it. Particularly the scene in the interview room at the end when Castle spins the story and gets the guy to confess. It was kind of a nice circle, when at the beginning he didn't get why Beckett wasn't just asking pointed questions, and the chief showed how she was getting the guy to place himself at the scene, etc. I think most of the episodes show how he's a quick learner and a really good people reader.

Excellent point, akajb. Castle is learning fast from his relationship with Beckett. In this interview, Beckett looks over at Castle, right before Castle takes his turn at interviewing the Kid, and winds up getting the confession "Exactly".  What a contrast from episode One when Castle was mostly goofing and not asking questions.  Mostly what I really, really love about this episode is the ear pulling scene with Beckett calmly talking on the phone, and Castle at her mercy, twisting around in such a cute way! Love that scene.
