Thank you guys so much for patiently
waiting through my technical difficulties!
Sometimes my cable just likes to ruin my plans! Anyways, this week’s episode was definitely unique
as it left our team at the 12th with very little to work with but
that doesn’t mean we were left with only a few favorite moments to choose from
for our countdown. Overall, the episode was
a definite set up for next weeks, sure to be emotional, finale to me, but it
didn’t lack the usual Castle fun and intensity.
So let’s not wait anymore (my Cable made me wait long enough) and on
with the countdown!
5. Men in Black
Seeing
that Homeland Security is involved, Beckett wants answers as to what is going
on. She approaches a black car with two
very “agent-y” looking guys inside and asks them to identify themselves. Thinking about Men in Black, Castle asks if
they get called Agent J and Agent K a lot as they resemble Will Smith and Tommy
Lee Jones famous black suit and sunglass donning characters. (And cue my awful
singing of the Men in Black theme song…Here come the Men in Black! *clap clap*
Galaxy defenders!) They don’t answer
Beckett’s questions though and they drive away leaving Caskett with no
answers. Beckett says “well we don’t
have a body, we don’t have a crime scene, and we don’t have any witnesses but…”
Castle interjects here saying “at least we have each other.” Clearly this is not what Beckett had in mind
because she finishes with “we will have a homicide to solve.” Remembering there is in fact a murder too,
Castle says “…and that” but we all appreciate that at least he thinks all they
need is each other! Turns out this may
be foreshadowing though, as their relationship will be put to the test with a
certain job offer coming up later in the countdown.
4. An
Offer You Can’t Refuse
After
solving the case, Agent Stack asks to talk to Beckett. “Where do you see
yourself five years from now?” he asks her.
Beckett tells him that she hasn’t given it much thought but he presses
asking “where is your heart?” Not one to
open up, Beckett says “I don’t know you. Certainly not well enough to have this
conversation” and starts to leave. Stack
tells her that he used to work in homicide before he worked for the attorney
general. He continues, telling Beckett
“I think your exceptional, you’re smart, you’re strong, you’re an asymmetrical
thinker - I see bigger things for you.”
Beckett questions him saying “who says I want bigger things?” but Stack
says “practically everything about you screams it.” Turns out there is a job opening in DC with
the Attorney General and Stack thinks she has what it takes. He wants her to apply for it and leaves her
with a number to call. Beckett says she
will think about the offer but later when Castle asks what Stack talked to her
about she says “nothing. It was nothing.”
UGH! I know Beckett could do
bigger and better things, but I have a hard time believing she would leave the
12th. I think she still has
some unfinished business with her mother’s case (cough Bracken cough) and
Castle is in NYC. I know she has
historically been one to run, but I like to think she has changed. If I were to be asked where Kate Beckett’s
heart is, I would say you can’t deny it’s in NYC but I guess we will have to
wait and see. The only comfort we are left with is that Beckett was going to go
shower with Castle.
3. It’s All Fun and Games…
Castle
is in his loft driving his toy tank through a course he made in his living area
providing commentary along the way. He
continues to drive it towards the “Suez Canal” but stops short when he sees
Beckett on his video feed in her underwear.
“Woah, That is not the Suez Canal.”
He zooms in on a unknowing Beckett and tells her that if she is trying
to decide what to wear she should keep wearing what she is now “…or less.” Beckett then notices what is going on, yells “pervert!”
and throws clothes on the toy tanks camera stopping the video feed. Not fazed at all, Castle yells “that is Field
Marshall Pervert to you!” I love seeing
Castle’s “young at heart” side, whether that be when he is playing laser tag or
toy tanks, and I just can’t resist how adorable he is. Also, how fantastic did Beckett look? Old Beckett would have gone crazy if Castle
did that but Kate is clearly embracing his young, playful side and lets him off
easy with the small insult of “pervert.”
I guess she has a soft spot for his playfulness as well. I just love seeing Caskett at “home.”
2. Making Up for a Moment of Manliness
Trying
to find Warburg, Caskett trespasses onto property that they think is his. They start to get attacked by a small drone
that appears to be firing bullets. Beckett
says when it gets in range she is going to shoot it, which prompts Castle to
get Kate’s other gun from her ankle holster.
They both await the arrival of the drone and fire as it comes near them. The drone gets hit and goes down as Castle
says “wow I can’t believe you missed with every shot!” Offended, Beckett asks if he really thought
he shot the drone down with his marksmanship and Castle says “I rose to the
occasion – Wow, This time I really did protect you!” Beckett points out he was also protecting himself
but Castle thinks it makes up for a “momentary lack of manliness.” Beckett isn’t impressed though as she discovers
the bullets were blanks. “Blanks?” asks Castle, “well I didn’t know that so
that doesn’t – that doesn’t diminish the act of heroism.” Ah hero Castle trying
to protect the people he cares about the most.
These always make for good moments and Castle is never humble about his
heroics. You can save me anytime you
want and I won’t mock the fact that blanks were used J
1. Rise of the Machines
Sleeping
soundly in bed, Castle is awoken by his toy tank driving up the bed towards
him. He jumps out of bed panicking and
whispers for Beckett before grabbing his baseball bat and smashing the tank to
pieces. Right then, his toy helicopter
flies up from Beckett’s side of the bed (yes sides have been established) and
comes towards him. He yells a little
louder for Beckett this time and says “Beckett get up! We gotta go!” as he pulls back the
sheets. This reveals a laughing Beckett
who clearly pulled a “rise of the machines” prank on him. She laughs at him saying that he “totally fell
for it” and Castle tries to deny that he actually thought it was rise of the
machines. Sorry, Castle but with your
wild imagination you definitely thought the toys were coming to life. Beckett tells him that if that was actually a
killer tank he bailed and Castle tries to tell her he went to get the bat to
protect her. Busted Castle! Your tank has a camera remember?? Beckett
could see the fear in his eyes and we got to see a hilarious Caskett
moment. Once again, Caskett + home life=
irresistible moments. You have to love
playful Kate Beckett!
