EW has some scoop for us on Chuck episode 4.19, titled “Chuck vs. the Muuurder”:

“We’ve always wanted to do a murder mystery, so we’re working on an episode right now where something terrible happens to someone down in Castle and Chuck and Co. are given the Sherlockian job of figuring out who the murderer is,” Fedak tells EW exclusively. “So we’re working on our own spy version of a chamber piece.”

While all this is going on in Castle, Fedak said that upstairs, Buy More would be experiencing a “big crazy” story of their own. “We’re having a lot of fun with that one right now.”

Sounds like they’re trying something new; have we ever had a straight up murder mystery to solve? Who do you think the victim is?
