This week we got a glimpse into the
possible future for Castle and Beckett when our favorite couple ends up caring
for a baby. The episode was full of
learning opportunities for all of the characters whether they were initially
comfortable with babies or maybe not so comfortable with little ones. Babies aren’t your thing? Well don’t worry because as usual the case
was full of twists and turns and we got to see the whole cast in action so
let’s get this countdown going!
Honorable Mention
(x2!):
First off we have
Alexis bringing it to Castle’s attention that he and Beckett could have kids in
a few years and so could she which means
they could grow up together. This
instantly puts a stop to Castle’s daydreaming of his own Caskett babies in a
few years and he says “and its ruined!”
Next, Playing into
Castle’s lie that his family dresses up for Thanksgiving dinner Beckett shows
up wearing a Pocahontas costume. Castle
can’t believe she actually believed him and she says she wasn’t sure if he was
lying and hands him a traditional pilgrim costume saying “you better put this
on pilgrim” earning a high five from Martha.
Way to beat Castle at his own game Beckett!
5. Fast Forward
The
morning after having Cosmo all night, we see that Beckett and Castle ended up
sleeping in the living room in very uncomfortable positions. Martha is sitting on the couch entertaining
Cosmo and Beckett and Castle wake up as Alexis enters. With the best one liner
of the show Alexis asks “how long have I been gone?” After many episodes of dramatic Alexis I
loved her comedic effect in this scene and thought it was the perfect line for
that moment. With the amount I laughed,
I couldn’t hold this one out of the countdown!
4. Daddy
Practice
About
to become a dad in the near future, Ryan asks Castle if he can practice holding
the baby. As soon as he takes the baby
from Castle’s arms it starts crying and Ryan says “this is not at all like the
practice.” Castle tries to give him tips
but nothing stops the baby’s fussing leaving Ryan feeling frustrated and saying
“I thought I was ready, clearly I am not.”
Panicking about his impending fatherhood he says “Oh god I’m not ready.” I thought this moment was funny but also very
cute. Knowing some people who are new
parents it seems like everyone is this way and you are really never prepared
for your first child and learn as you go.
It’s so sweet that Ryan wants to be perfect at being a dad and has been
practicing everything baby related but in the end real practice makes perfect. I can’t pass up on Ryan being a sweetheart so
this was an easy countdown choice! And
don’t worry Ryan, you’ll be a great dad!
3. Bromance
Support
Talking to Espo about
being a father, Ryan says “our babies due in a month and I can’t stop it. What if I’m really not ready?” Espo reveals to him that he isn’t ready because
nobody is. He explains it to Ryan saying
“Look being a dad is like being a cop. Doesn’t
matter what they teach you in the academy, you learn on the streets. You did ok with that right?” We then find out
that Ryan’s first day wasn’t exactly perfect because he ended up being so nervous
that he rear ended a SWAT team who almost took him out. Espo quickly instills confidence in Ryan
again saying “well you care. That
already makes you 100x better than the dad I had.” Aww!
While the bromance is typically funny it’s also nice to see them have each
other’s back in a non work related manner.
Ryan can be so insecure at times (especially after baby Cosmo kept
crying) and I think it’s very reassuring to him to have Espo’s seal of
approval. Can’t wait for baby Ryan and I’m
their baby will feel very safe with it’s daddy.
2. Caskett Babies
After
children’s services arrives Castle reveals to Beckett that he is worried about
handing the baby over to strangers.
Beckett explains that they are strangers too and Castle asks “how can
you be logical in the face of that face?”
Beckett tells him she has to be logical and they can’t get attached to
baby Cosmo and Castle realizes that this may be why Beckett wouldn’t hold the
baby. Beckett then reveals that she has
never been a baby person. Somewhat
shocked Castle says “Oh, I did not know that about you. I suppose you hate rainbows too.” Beckett tries to justify saying “I don’t hate
babies Castle, I just don’t see the appeal but I’m sure I’ll feel differently
when we have one of our own.” She walks
away and Castle jokingly says “will you…” but then his joking manner changes to
seriousness when he says “will you?” So
why is this countdown worthy?? Caskett
babies! It’s finally revealed that Beckett wants to have a baby eventually with
Castle! Now I’m not one of the those
people that wants Caskett babies now, but I would love to see pregnant Beckett
in the future, especially considering I love Castle in protective dad mode. It sounds like Castle isn’t 100% convinced
though which led him to do what he did in moment #1 on the countdown! It’s ok thought because Castle learns that
Beckett would be a much more involved mother than Meredith (as if we didn’t
already know that)!
1. Playing
Parents
Back
at Castle’s loft with baby Cosmo, Castle is unable to stop him from
crying. Beckett is reading suggestions
from a baby book and grabs a large exercise ball to have Castle bounce on which
stops baby Cosmo’s tears. I loved
watching Caskett problem solve the way they do during murder investigations
with domestic things (like raising a baby) and Beckett seemed so happy to have
done something right related to babies. The joy doesn’t last long though
because Cosmo spits up on Castle’s shirt and Beckett has to hold him (somewhat nervously)
until Castle is able to change him. I
loved it when Castle said “alright switch” when he found out Cosmo had a dirty diaper
and went straight into dad mode to get him clean and changed. Beckett holds Cosmo again (clearly falling in
love with the little cutie) and gives Castle a small smile as he walks back
towards them after disposing of the dirty diaper. It’s clear that at this
moment she can envision herself and Castle having a little family and that
Castle would be the perfect father (which we already knew with Alexis). A fun, sweet moment between Beckett and
Castle that makes you smile and warms your hear? Easily worthy of the number 1
spot!
