If you were on
twitter during this episode you probably saw the trend of
#Castlegonecrazy. I loved this hashtag
and thought it was a good descriptor of the episode. While it wasn’t a typical Castle episode full
of Caskett moments and lots of drama it did have a lot of fun elements we haven’t
seen in a while like protective dad Castle, Ryan/Espo banter, and Martha in a
crazy outfit out of an 70's/80’s workout video!
Could you ask for more? Not to
mention a killer promo for the next episode.
Before we get to that though we have to recap this week’s episode so
let’s get the countdown rolling!
5. A Father’s Unconditional Love
Okay,
while this episode didn’t have many Caskett moments, the very last scene was
super sweet. Beckett asks Castle if he
thinks Candice’s dad will be able to accept his grandchild since Beau was the
father. Castle responds with
“absolutely” but Beckett still wasn’t sold on the idea. “What makes you so sure?” Castle reassures her saying “Because a father
would do anything for his daughter.”
Kate thinks about it for a second and then lets a cute, shy smile
escape. In my world she was thinking of
a few things right there. 1) Possibly
her own dad and how he has been there for her. 2) How Castle has always been
such a great father for Alexis. Which is
enough to make us all go “awwww,” but my final theory is my personal favorite.
3) She is thinking about future Caskett babies and how Castle will always be a
great father no matter what happens.
While all three options are great and make me go “awwwww” I love 3!
It’s always nice to know the man you love would be a great father. Regardless, you can’t help but smile when you
think of Castle in dad mode and it’s nice to know Kate likes it too.
4. Sorry Esposito, Not Tonight
Esposito
finally gets to go out for drinks with Scarlett and we see them sitting at a
bar enjoying each other’s company and a few drinks. Esposito asks her if she wants to sit down
and eat or get another drink but Scarlett suggests continuing their
conversation at her place. Clearly
excited about the opportunity to get to know this “kinky” girl a little better,
Esposito and Scarlett turn to leave the bar but are stopped by Beckett. Kate says “or better yet, why don’t we
continue this conversation at my place.”
The look on Esposito’s face was priceless and I’m sure Esplanie fans
were rejoicing everywhere! Espo looked
like a sad puppy that just had his favorite toy taken away and I couldn’t
decide if Kate was actually enjoying breaking up his date or just strictly
business. Excellent timing Beckett, I’m sure Lanie will thank you later.
3. Distracted
In
the past, it has mainly been Castle who is caught admiring beautiful women and
getting distracted by the attractive people around him. This always baffled me considering he worked
side by side with Beckett but we’ve been ranting about that since the series
started so I won’t open topic again! In
a nice role change, Castle and Beckett walk in on the filming of “College Guys
Gone Nuts” that involves half naked guys dancing in Tarzan-esque outfits. Beckett was a little distracted by the solid
six packs in front of her when Castle starts talking to the head of the project,
Seth, and Castle quickly picks up on it.
He starts by saying “We’re not here about your dancers Mr. Brown” before
noticing Beckett who is clearly ogling the guys and adding in “ARE WE…” to
catch Kate’s attention. Zoning back into
the conversation Beckett says “right... no we’re here about Beau.” Smooth K-Becks but it looks like all those
moments of scolding Castle for looking at other females finally caught up to
you. Can’t say I blame her though… those
were some nice abs!
2. Middle School Humor
Esposito
and Ryan once again had a lot of funny short scenes in this episode that I
found hilarious. First, after finding
out the murder weapon was a bra, Esposito asks Ryan “Yo, how’s the inbreastigation going?” Ryan looks at him with a serious look on his
face and says “…and that’s why you’re still single.” I about died with Ryan’s response considering
Esposito’s question was something you would expect from a teenage kid, which
makes me love him more, but their banter didn’t stop here. Later, while Beckett is interrogating
Scarlett, Esposito says “did you hear that? She broke his nose.” Clearly not as impressed Ryan says “yea so?”
and Esposito, acting like Ryan is insane, says “so... that’s hot!” Ryan continuing with his confusion towards
Espo’s behavior says “who are you?” I guess it has been a while since we’ve
seen a little Espo flirting but Ryan’s reaction to all of his comments were
cracking me up. I mean really, getting turned on because she broke a guy’s
nose? Not my thing but go for it Espo!
Sorry, Esplanie fans, Espo was clearly into Scarlett during this episode but
don’t worry, I’m still sailing on the Esplanie ship myself and have faith!
1. “Wrap me in bubble wrap and hide me in a
cave”
Castle
in “father mode” produces some of the great moments on this show and tonight’s
episode was full of them. The episode
opens with Castle letting out a scream (shriek? That might be the better word for
it!) prompting Martha to enter his study. Let’s pause here to recognize how
only Martha could rock that crazy outfit. Ok, continuing… Castle tries to cover
saying that he was “googling” himself (yea right buddy…) and happened to
stumble upon a video blog of Alexis titled “Confessions of a Columbia
Freshman.” On it she talks about a date
with Max and how she pretended to be unsteady while ice skating to get him to
help her and to catch her when she fell.
Classic move Alexis, I love it!
Martha tries to tell Castle it’s harmless and that the camera loves her,
which Martha takes credit for, but Castle isn’t buying it. Beckett tries to tell him it’s all harmless
and could be a lot worse; she could be on College Girls Gone Crazy. Touché Beckett… Touché. Later at the precinct, Castle does talk to
Alexis about the V-log and tells her that even though it is “super cute” she
needs to be cautious of what she posts on the web because he doesn’t want it to
haunt her in the future especially if the wrong person sees it. Alexis is clearly annoyed saying that Castle
thinks she is “catnip for predators online” and accusing him of not trusting
her before leaving. She comes back later
though because she hates fighting with her dad and they both agree that she can
live her life while Castle will continuing worrying, caring, and reminding her
that she is wrong. Foreshadowing
maybe? I’m currently spoiler free (going
on 2 weeks and it’s been really hard!!) but this would make for an excellent
future episode set up!
Not the most action packed episode we have ever
seen but still not bad. I enjoyed the
Castle/Alexis story line and all the fun interactions between Espo and Ryan. Would
you include different moments or have a different #1? Also, how about the promo
for the next episode?!?! INTENSE! Join
the discussion in the comments section below, tweet me @DenialLove or tweet us at @TwelfthPrecinct! Follow me, I’ll follow you and we’ll talk Castle
and the new promo! We need a little
something to get us through next week’s hiatus until the new episode!
