A new plot synopsis for an upcoming episode of ABC's Castle reveals that Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) will essentially be entering into a telenovela.

'Castle' Next Episode Features Things Not Going As Planned For Rick As Private Investigator

ABC has released a plot synopsis for a new Castle episode titled Private Eye Caramba!

"When a young Latin telenovela actress is murdered, Beckett and the team delve into a case that is as flamboyant and full of intrigue as any telenovela," the synopsis reads. "Meanwhile, Castle is hired as private investigator by the show's sultry star to pursue the case from another angle."

'Castle's New Episode Titles Suggest Comedic 'Private Eye' Tone Going Forward With Rick

This episode is slated to air Monday, Jan. 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

With telenovelas being as ridiculous and over the top as they are, fans should probably expect this episode to be a comedic one, especially with a title like Private Eye Caramba! It seems that the writers will be having fun with Castle now working as a private investigator after being fired from the NYPD due to his mob connections.

This new storyline with Castle being a private investigator is partly "driven by his desire to work with Beckett," as Castle showrunner David Amann explained to TVLine in a new report.

The dynamic duo will apparently be going after the same case when the series returns on Monday, Jan. 12 "and of course it will not go entirely smoothly."

Castle returns on Monday, Jan. 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
