With the schedule change, many
Castle fans were concerned about seeing this episode before “Still” but overall
I don’t think it was that big of a deal and it was definitely the respectful
move to make (#BostonStrong). That being
said, I was super excited to see jealous Castle and jealous Castle does not
disappoint! I know many Castle viewers
think this little bump in the road is potentially harmful for the Caskett
relationship, but hear me out on this one.
Remember “Cloudy with a Chance of Murder”? Beckett questioned their relationship then
and once her and Castle talked about it they were stronger as a couple and her
doubts were cast aside. So don’t be
alarmed that Beckett is questioning where their relationship is going because
that is common in many relationships especially after the so called “honeymoon”
phase is over. Let’s have some faith in
Caskett and know they will talk it out (eventually after a little drama) and
come out stronger and on the same page as far as relationship expectations go
because we know they are meant to be together!
Ok pep talk over - let’s check out this week’s top moments (and you
might think I’m crazy for not including the last scene…)!
Honorable mention
this week goes to Martha and her well timed line of “oh no Eric Vaughn’s way
sexier than Clooney” Way to make Castle
feel better Martha (…or not) and the fandom thanks you for the ring/commitment
comment! Oops!
5. LSL
Seeing
Eric Vaughn, Castle starts talking about how he is #8 on his “LSL” or Last
Supper List. He then goes on to list his
top 12 in order which include “Lincoln, Einstein, Ian Flemming, John Lennon,
Joan of Arc, Sinatra….” He then notices Beckett staring at him and says “and
you of course” but as Beckett said “too late Castle.” She was already feeling like you are taking
her for granted and you forget her as your number 1 on your LSL?!?! Oh man
Castle not a good way to start a case!
Beckett also feels the effects of Eric though and is caught checking him
out by Castle who comments that Vaughn is on her list as well. Bad time to pick on Beckett! She gets him back saying “the things you
notice when you’re paying attention Castle.” Man, tally another win for Beckett
in the exchange of words battle.
4. Life
Saving Kiss Rejection
After
a sniper attempted to take out Eric Vaughn, Ryan tells Kate he needs to take
her statement. He asks her where she was
standing and then where Vaughn was but Castle notices their positions don’t
make sense due to the bullet trajectory (and they are a little too close). Beckett tries to say Vaughn stumbled, but
according to Castle only “kids and old people” stumble and no way was Vaughn
lucky enough to escape death twice.
Castle asks “what’s going on here Kate?”
Without hesitation Beckett says “he kissed me ok Castle” which leads
Castle to say “he what?” Feeling awkward
and out of place Ryan says “I think I have all I need here” and quickly leaves
the area. Beckett tells Castle that they
were talking about him and relationships but that the kiss didn’t mean anything
to her. Castle then asks “well if he kissed
you why wouldn’t you just push him away.”
Beckett gives him the “think about it” look and Castle realizes that
that’s exactly what happened. See all
the panic over the previews was unnecessary!
Kate would never cheat on Castle and of course she did the right thing
by pushing Vaughn away. Obviously she
was slightly curious as she let the kiss begin to occur but in the end she
realized it was wrong to do. If even the
great Eric Vaughn can’t lure Beckett away from Castle then we should know their
relationship is solid… right?
3. Jealous
Castle
After
talking to Eric Vaughn in private, Castle hands Beckett a hot drink with a
little cute foam heart on top. She asks “what
is this” excitedly and Castle says “oh that’s just me not taking you for granted.” He then casually asks what she and Eric were
talking about and Beckett realizes Castle’s motive (between the coffee heart
and the casual questioning) and asks “is this you being jealous??” Castle tries to brush it off, but admits he
is jealous because “the guy won the MacArthur Genius Award – and you know who
they give those to? Geniuses.” Well that
was a brilliant statement Castle but at the same time so Castle-y and expected J It was so refreshing to see
Castle get jealous instead of the other way around (*cough* Beckett with all of
Castle’s exes *cough*) but he ruins the sweet moment by basically agreeing that
since Eric could have any woman he wants he wouldn’t be interested in
Beckett. I don’t know, Castle… it seems like
you could have any woman you want but you chose Kate so I would watch your
back!
2. Womanizing, Rich Guys!
Wanting
to solve the case as quickly as possible (since Beckett has to protect Vaughn),
Castle gets to work with Espo and Ryan.
Upon finding out that Beckett is protecting Vaughn Espo says “oh hell
yea you should be worried. His hit list
includes half of Maxim’s Hot 100.” He
also points out that unlike Castle; Vaughn’s helicopter doesn’t need a remote
control. Ryan tells Castle not to listen
to Espo since Beckett is loyal to him and won’t be seduced by Vaughn’s charm. Not convinced Espo asks if Ryan would let
Jenny around him and he says “hell no. I
wouldn’t let Jenny near that guy.”
Dejected Castle says “thanks…” and tries to say he isn’t worried. He says he “can’t believe that the department
is forcing her to hang out with some womanizing rich guy against her will.” Ummm hello, Castle? Remember 5 years ago??? Espo and Ryan do though, with their comments
of “unbelievable” and “yea she’s never done that.” Hey if Beckett didn’t do things against her
will we would never have Caskett!
1. Defeated by Video Games
While
Castle is having fun playing video games, Beckett decides she also wants to
have a little fun of a different fashion.
She slides into view wearing one of Castle’s dress shirts and her bra
saying “I’ve got something special for you too…” in a very sexy, sultry voice.
Castle glances over and says “well that’s not looking too good” which earns him
a quick “what?!?” from Beckett (and me as well!). Turns out Castle is playing online with a kid
from India (who was the recipient of his not looking too good comment) and he
believes that tonight is the night that he will beat this kid because tonight
he is “bringing it and it stings doesn’t it!”
Kate says “yea it kinda does” then asks Castle if he would rather play
with a kid in an imaginary world or with her (doing a sexy little striptease)
in the real world. Clearly conflicted,
Castle can’t answer and Beckett can’t believe he actually has to think about it
which ruins the mood. Sorry Castle, but
saying you lost on purpose for her doesn’t cut it and as Beckett said “at least
Gretzky knew how to score.” ZING! No one
can resist sexy Beckett voice and her little striptease routine so yea… number
1 by default!
So how many people sense a little tension for Caskett in the
future of season 5? Also, did anyone
have any problems with the continuity of the episodes? Would you choose Vaughn or Castle? Ok stupid question… Next week we get to enjoy “Still” and I can’t
wait to see some flashback moments! Join the discussion in the comments section
