-
Dr. Carter Burke : Have you ever sought therapy before, Mr. Castle?
Richard Castle : Well, if you'd met my mother, you'd know the answer would be yes. But, uh... by my nature, I try to avoid introspection.

Dr. Carter Burke : What can you tell me about your missing time?
Richard Castle : [sighs] Not much. Last thing I remember, I was driving to my wedding. A black SUV started chasing me. And I was forced off the road. Two months later, they found me in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I had been exposed to Dengue fever, I had a bullet scar with no recollection... how I got it... No memory of anything. I tracked down a man named Jenkins who was involved somehow. He, uh... He told me the reason I couldn't remember.
Henry Jenkins : [flashback] And you said you didn't want to remember. We went to great lengths to make sure that you didn't.
Dr. Carter Burke : And is it still the case that you don't want to remember?
Richard Castle : No... I- I've tried to put it behind me... But it haunts me. Not a day goes by I don't wonder where I was, what I saw... what I did. Is it possible my memories are coming back?
Dr. Carter Burke : Well, dreams can be memories. But more often, they're symbolic, metaphoric expressions of an issue or problem. You're also a writer, a creative person. This could mean your mind is building a narrative to fill the two-month void.
Richard Castle : I want to understand these dreams. What they mean and, uh... if they're real.
