She can't do anything about it without a warrant which she can't get but promises to support Castle if he chooses to break in, even if it means breaking the law.

He has also demonstrated a strong attachment and respect for Beckett, commenting to Castle that he has never known anyone who can comfort the victims of violent crimes better than Beckett and arguing with the governor to accept a deal that would have allowed a known drug trafficker to walk free when he offered information that would have allowed them to capture the man who murdered Beckett's mother (although the deal was revealed to be fake when it turned out that the drug trafficker was the killer). Both possibilities leave the 12th Precinct equally disturbed. When Beckett and McCord arrive from D.C.

He was heartbroken when Kyra never spoke to him again after a "break" in their relationship, and this puts the shallower women he's been with in a new light. His real identity is unknown, but he has a second wife, Rita Hunt, who appears in the eighth season during Beckett's hunt for the mysterious "Loksat".
