*Martha's one-woman show discusses the sacrifices she made in her career to be a single mother to Castle. However, in [[Nanny McDead]] and other subsequent episodes, it had already been established that Martha hadn't made any sacrifices at all. Castle was watched by a series of nannies, including one (a soap-addicted alchoholic) who left him entirely to his own devices. When he was older, Castle would spend long hours alone in the New York Public Library. Castle himself points out that Martha's version of events is entirely self-serving, and she agrees that she's taken some measure of dramatic license in her show.

**Martha makes other claims about Castle's life in the play that she admits are false and self-promoting. For example, her play states that Castle only got his first novel published because Martha slept with his publisher, rather than through his own talent. However, she acknowledges that while she did sleep with the publisher, it was long after his book had seen print.
+
**Beckett correctly points out that there are strong parallels between Martha's retelling of Castle's life and his use of Beckett's life as inspiration for Nikki Heat. Castle counters that Nikki Heat has never been presented as non-fiction.
