As if last week’s episode wasn’t
intense enough, this week marked the return of Castle’s father! Murder, wedding planning, and Jackson Hunt
were just a few of the highlights of this weeks episode and with so many great
moments picking 5 took a little extra time. Even with the return of Castle’s dad this
weeks countdown is a little Caskett and Martha heavy but I’m thinking you guys
won’t mind!
5. Mother Martha
As
Castle and Beckett leave to find Gemini, Martha goes 100% into mother mode,
gives Jackson a stern look and says “if anything happens to them” but she is
cut off by Jackson. He tries to reassure
her saying “he’s a smart kid and she’s good at what she does no they’ll be
find. I promise.” Martha wants to believe him, but you can feel
her hesitancy when she icily says “forgive me but your promises don’t mean very
much.” Score 1 for Martha! While she is usual the one to offer good
advice or a little comic relief, we got to see Martha in protection mode of her
“kids.” She can definitely be
intimidating! I wouldn’t want to mess
with her family, so Martha has scared me into giving this moment the #5 spot on
this week’s countdown!
4. Sarah
Grace Esposito?
Freshly
back from paternity leave, Ryan starts filling in Beckett and Espo on the
case. Beckett asks how Sarah Grace is
doing and Ryan shows them a picture of his “perfect little angel.” Beckett admires it saying “aww she’s so cute”
but quickly switches to a joking tone saying “wow. Is it me or does she look a
lot like Espositio?” Espo quickly picks
up on Beckett’s joke and says “yea she does.”
Kevin quickly picks up on the joke saying “really Beckett? I expected
that from jackass but not from you.” I
loved this moment for a few reasons.
First, I love it when Beckett jokes around and she just looked genuinely
happy to be having fun with her friends.
Also, I love with when Beckett, Espo, and Ryan have scenes together
because they usual result in laughing from my side of the TV J Funny moment with our precinct family easily
puts this on the countdown.
3. Family
Moment
Jackson,
with a fresh gunshot wound, is trying to coach Castle through removing the
bullet. Castle makes it very clear that
the only time he has ever done something like this was while playing the game “Operation.” Jackson has him take a swig of alcohol to ease
his nerves and he gives Castle the good advice of “try not to make my nose
light up.” (Oh, board game humor…) Castle makes the cut and attempts to remove
the bullet. He thinks he has it but ends
up jerking the tweezers out. Jackson
tries to lighten the mood saying “now that you know how not to do it. Let’s try
the other way” and Martha wipes Castle’s forehead treating him like a surgeon
performing critical surgery. Castle gets
the bullet the second time though, exclaiming “I got it!” while earning a “bravo”
from Martha and a “real good” from Jackson.
This moment gave me a small glimpse into what life could have been like
for young Castle with both his mother and father around. Their cheers at his success reminded me of
parents cheering on their child as they ride their bike for the first time or
ace a test. Don’t get me wrong, Martha raised Castle well but it was interesting
to see the missing piece put into the puzzle. It was a nice family moment, even
if Castle isn’t a young boy anymore J
2. Wedding Plans
Castle
and Beckett are standing in the loft discussing possible wedding dates and
venues. They keep running into conflicts
and Castle suggests the following Spring.
Beckett cozies up to Castle and in a playful voice says “and what if I want
to get married sooner?” while squeezing his bottom. Castle responds “who could blame you” while
planting an adorable kiss on her forehead.
Martha, walking down the stairs, witnesses the whole scene and speaks
for the fandom saying “you two are so adorable!” Beckett goes on to suggest
September but Castle has a book tour every weekend. Martha, sensing a problem, lets Caskett in on
a little wisdom saying “In life there is no such thing as a perfect time for
anything.” Castle and Beckett are a
little confused and Martha elaborates “don’t wait, hell just go down to city
hall right now.” They consider it for a minute
but then decide to keep on working on possible dates. As much as I want Caskett to get married, I
think the fandom would be a little disappointed if they quickly got
eloped! We waited seasons for this to
happen and I really want to see what Caskett’s dream wedding would look like.
Also, how adorable was Beckett talking about not wanting to wait for their
wedding! And the butt squeeze? Priceless!
In addition to these amazing moments, Martha always makes an episode
more fun, and while I may not agree that Beckett and Castle should get eloped,
she always has good advice. Caskett
overload + Martha = highly successful moment!
1. Save
the Date!
At
the end of the case, Castle is trying to make sense of his father’s actions. He
comes to a realization and states to Beckett “I keep making the mistake of
thinking he’s family. But he’s not. You are.”
Beckett gives him a sweet look and Castle declares “We’re getting married in September.” Beckett looks at him confused and he quotes
her argument from the beginning of the episode saying “it won’t be too hot, it
won’t be too cold, it’s in the goldilocks zone, its perfect.” Beckett asks about his book tour that was
previously the reason September didn’t work and Castle simply says “screw it”
kissing Kate’s head and walking away.
Beckett, giddy from the excitement of marriage says “ok” in a “you
really don’t have to try hard to convince me” way that was absolutely adorable. Super cute, super moment! Are you guys as excited for a September
wedding as I am? Sounds like a great way
to start next season! *wink, wink*
