Alexis then goes to Castle, announces she still is mad, and asks her for help. Castle, who has been keeping track of the case, has doubts about Frank's innocence, but agrees to help his daughter. Probably he saw it as a way to try to get closer to her again. The story about being chased by cows was one of the things Castle tried to make Alexis think about the good old days, when she was still young and they were really really close. But Alexis didn't fall for it and wanted to go work on the case. We see Alexis very target driven and grown up this episode. The last couple of episodes she showed a side from her I didn't like, but this episode she was great and grown up and the responsible Alexis we know.
All in all I really liked this episode, because it was different then standard episodes. I do like the standard episodes, but after Kate went to DC and then came back to the 12th it feels weird and it feels like the show doesn't show much progress in Casketts lives. They still don't live together, they still aren't very busy with wedding planning, their careers don't seem to change. They are stuck. While they should grow and develop. Hopefully we will see soon more of that, as it really is necessary for the show to keep the high quality and to keep its fan base not to decrease. Ratings showed too that Like Father, Like Daughter had the highest ratings of the season and that while it was focused a lot on Alexis, who seems to be the least liked character on the show lately. This was pretty surprising, but not if you've seen the episode. This episode was about growth in the relationship between Alexis and her dad, Alexis and Beckett and the growth of Alexis herself. Even though the case had some holes in it, for me this was the best episode of the season so far.
