I’ve got two words for you Castle
fans: Fenton O’Connell. Earlier this
season we got an Esposito centered episode and this week Kevin Ryan fans got
their wish! In an episode full of ups,
downs, and enough Irish accents to make you feel like you’re actually in
Ireland and need an Irish beer we got to learn a lot about Detective Kevin
Ryan. So get your Irish accents ready, get
in character with an epic montage, and let’s start the countdown!
**As a disclaimer I will
say that I loved the interesting chemistry between Siobhan and Ryan/Fenton but
I have to rank my favorites. So I don’t want you to think I didn’t like
them, it was just so hard to choose this week and I wish I could include them all!
5.
Mrs. Esposito
Talking
to Beckett, Esposito expresses that he is upset Ryan never told him about his
history of being undercover. Beckett
says “Espo he didn’t even tell Jenny” which did not satisfy Espo. He responds with
“yea but I’m his best friend – she’s just his wife.” This brings about one of
my favorite Beckett lines of the episode “thus proving why there is no Mrs. Esposito.” A little offended Esposito says “hey! It’s
hard to find a woman for this much man.”
Keep telling yourself that Espo, but we all know the right woman for you
and she happens to work in the morgue!
4. Doing the Right Thing
Another
moment I enjoyed in this episode was the rare Jenny/Beckett scene. Worried about Kevin, Beckett suggests Jenny come
to the break room and get some coffee with her.
Jenny, visibly worried, says “so you don’t know where he is?” Beckett says “Um…No but we are going to find
him and we don’t believe he’s in any immediate danger.” Still confused about the whole undercover
side of Kevin, Jenny asks “why would he do a thing like this?” and tries to
justify it saying “maybe he thinks he has something to prove because of all our
pregnancy stuff.” Beckett provides an
excellent explanation and reassures Jenny that he is doing this for a number of
reasons but the main one being he “wants to do the right thing.” She explains that that is who he is, that’s why
he became a cop and that’s why Jenny fell in love with him. Still worried Jenny confesses that she “just
wants him to come home.” She sounded so
defeated at this moment and you couldn’t help but feel her pain. I love it when
Beckett comforts others and I think that being with Castle has given her more
insight into what someone in a relationship needs to hear to be comforted and put
at ease. More Beckett and Jenny in the
future please oh mighty Castle writers??
Maybe even Beckett, Jenny, and Lanie!
I can dream right?
3. Jordan
So
who is the mysterious Jordan that Castle mentioned 14 times in his sleep? Well it turns out Jordan actually isn’t a
person but is Jordan Motor Company. When
he was in boarding school Castle desperately needed an A on paper (to avoid
flunking out) so he paid $250 for another person to write his term paper on
that car company. Castle says the experience changed how he saw himself and his
teacher even read it to class. It was the first time he was celebrated and it
was a fraud. Turns out that Castle
learned a valuable lesson from the whole scenario because “that’s how he
learned to write.” According to Castle he “wrote and wrote” so that he could
earn the applause himself and he is still trying to get that applause. Beckett finally speaks saying “you’re right
Castle, it does change how I see you - It makes me like you just a little bit
more.” Awwww. See no need to be sad
Castle, Beckett actually found the whole thing sweet. And how about the kiss?!?! We actually got to see a good kiss and good
lighting! Personally, that was my
favorite kiss this season! Although, I
will admit I was hoping Jordan was maybe a name Castle liked for a baby and was
dreaming of Caskett kids. Oh well! Good dialogue + good kiss with the added
bonus of good lighting = top moment!
2. Baby Ryan
At
the very end of the episode, Ryan returns home to a worried Jenny who asks if
the undercover part of his life is over.
He tells her that now it is and she says “good because I need to know
that you’re going to be here and I need to know that I can depend on you; especially
after the test results we got back from the fertility doctor.” Ryan
responds with what we are all thinking and says “oh no… bad news?” My heart about dropped when Jenny said yes
but she continued with “we took all those damn tests for nothing… I’m already
pregnant.” HOORAY!! How excited is everyone for little baby
Ryan?!?! I already hope it has its daddy’s blue eyes! J I’m so happy for our
fictional little family. Jenny may not be able to; but let’s pop some champagne
in honor of the Ryan family and say it all together now… She’s Pregnant!
1. 12th
Precinct Assemble!
Out
on the docks, it looks like Ryan may have gotten himself into a situation even
he can’t get out of. After saying that
he can’t shoot Siobhan, he reveals that he is a cop and tells Bobby, Liam, and
Keane that they are all under arrest and he used Liam’s phone to call his
partner for backup. Turns out his
backup showed up at just the right time and he yells “Yo, Javi! Where you at?”
We are left hanging for a second thinking maybe they didn’t show up before Espo
walks out from behind the shadows. Ryan
then asks if they want to meet the rest of his crew and yells for Beckett. She appears saying “you called Ryan?” Finally,
he says “Castle!” Also appearing looking
confused, he says “seriously? I didn’t bring my vest.” Leave it to Castle to bring comic relief into
a serious situation. Now, you may be
wondering why I made this my #1 moment with all the other great moments… well
here you go. First, the whole
introduction of the team thing made me think of the 12th precinct
crew as super heroes being assembled (seriously! don’t laugh!). Second, I loved seeing the team come to help
Ryan and I think it perfectly described each character with Castle being his
goofy self. Overall, 100% entertaining!
So Castle fans what did you think? Did the Ryan episode meet
your expectations or fall flat? Should we
start guessing if the Ryan baby will be a boy or girl and potential baby names?
