Extra, Extra read all about it! This week’s Castle featured celebrities, lookalikes,
crazy ex-boyfriends, relationship mistakes, and crazy gossip column stories! If the story line wasn’t enough to keep you
entertained (trust me this little monster was hooked when “Applause” started
playing at the beginning) there was plenty of Caskett and bromance moments (and
hello! Jealous Beckett!) to keep you going and plenty of moments to fuel this
countdown! So let’s take a look at this
week Castle Cliff Notes Headlines before they become yesterday’s news!
5. Jokes and Jealousy
During
the episode, Beckett was frequently looking for validation that she shouldn’t
worry about what the papers were printing and also giving off little hints of
jealousy. After confirming to her dad
that she and Castle were still engaged (after he read the newspaper story) she
asks Espositio if he believes everything he reads in the newspaper. He says “hell no!” and then adds “except for
that thing between Castle and his ex-wife.”
They share a moment of silence as Beckett tries to keep in her
frustration and Espo avoids eye contact knowing he stepped a little over the
line while joking around. A little
later, Beckett asks where Castle is and Ryan says “he’s having dinner with his
other ex-wife. Something about not
wanting her to feel left out.” Espo, loving the joke says “good one” but again,
Beckett was not amused and they tell her that he is actually in the break room
to avoid Beckett panicking. I love this
for a few reasons. First, I can’t get enough
of jealous Beckett and how annoyed she would get anytime sometime brought up
the newspaper article. Also, I love Espo
and Ryan joking around with Beckett like brothers and sister. Beckett may not have enjoyed it, but I definitely
did!

4. Leased
Love
I
know Alexis has taken a lot of heat this season for her actions, but I still
love her character and while it may be a bit dramatized she is going through a
lot of the struggles that everyone deals with.
Getting her phone back from Mandy, Alexis and Mandy start talking and
Alexis says “right now I wish I could disappear from my life too.” After the break, we cut back into their
conversation and Alexis revealing that she believes she made a big mistake
moving in with her boyfriend and she did it because she thought she was being
grown up. She even reveals that she is hoping
he will get the research grant so he will have to travel. Mandy tries to convince her that she needs to
talk to Pi but Alexis exclaims “We have a lease!” Mandy mutters “that’s romantic” and Alexis
continues her rant saying that breaking up with Pi would also validate to her
dad that he was right. Mandy actually offers
Alexis advice and tells her “be true to yourself and if a situation is bad for
you leave it.” Well, she may not have
been the most likely source of good advice but Mandy was definitely right and I
think exactly what Alexis needed to hear.
Every young adult tries to make decisions on their own and act grown up,
but sometimes the most grown up thing to do is to realize when a situation is
not working out. Plus, Alexis shouldn’t
be concerned at all about her dad. He
may not have agreed with her decision, but I’m pretty sure Castle came to terms
with it and would never hold what she thought was the best decision against
her. I was so happy to see Alexis back
this week in a larger role and her major grown up moment earns her a spot on
this week’s countdown! (I may also be
hoping for a breakup in a near future…)

3. Photobombing!
Ryan
and Espo together always bring good moments and this was no exception. Talking to
the paparazzi who photographed Claire in the club, they want to know if that
can ask him a few questions. He asks if
they can wait because he has been waiting for an actress to leave the café for
an hour now but Espo isn’t in the granting favors mood. He says “listen fool, this is a criminal
investigation” but at the same time the actress steps out and the photographer
tries to grab a moneymaking shot in the chaos.
Not liking the photographer’s uncooperativeness, Espo and Ryan start getting
in the way of his camera and saying things like “I don’t even see her” and “am I
in the way?” Quickly, the actress steps
into a cab and Ryan says “oh no she got in a cab…” Ryan and Espo are amazing partners and always
entertaining while getting the job done.
I think my favorite part about this scene was their efforts to stop the photo
from happening and I couldn’t stop laughing (although that could have been the
sleep deprevation…). Regardless, I enjoyed
the playfulness of the scene and laughed my way into putting it on the countdown!

2. Case of the Ex?
Sitting
in Castle’s loft in their PJ’s, Beckett is reading the newspaper when she asks “Castle
should I be worried about your commitment to our engagement?” Confused, Castle cautiously asks “no…why?” Beckett explains that an article says he is
getting back together with his ex-wife and Castle quickly explains that it was
a business lunch and Beckett playfully quotes the article asking “so you weren’t
gazing lovingly into her eyes?”
Flustered, Castle explains she had spinach in her teeth and says “see
this wouldn’t happen if you just let me announce our engagement.” Not one for the spotlight, Beckett says that everyone
important to them knows about the engagement and they have obviously had this
discussion before because Castle quickly says “yes just because I’m a public
figure doesn’t mean you need to be one too.”
Castle tries to convince her saying that it would end all the gossip articles
but Beckett says she doesn’t mind because the information isn’t true and it
gives her more material to torture Castle with.
Then she gives him an adorable love bite on the ear but I don’t think
Beckett fooled any of us with her denial act.
You could definitely see a little bit of jealous Beckett and I
absolutely love jealous Beckett! Any
episode with Beckett jealous of potential Castle relationship is a favorite for
me, but jealous fiancé Beckett is so much fun.
I just can’t deny jealous Beckett a spot on the countdown!


1. Headlines
Sitting
in the bullpen, Espo tells Castle that his love life made the paper again. He sounds a little frustrated and asks with who
they say he is currently hooking up.
Ryan reads the headline to him stating “novelist Richard Castle and New York
police detective Katherine Beckett both native new Yorkers are pleased to announce
their engagement.” Castle starts to
panic saying that he didn’t do this (worried that Kate will be mad) but she
ends his flustering words saying “actually I did.” She tells him that she likes her privacy but
does realize that Castle is “somewhat famous.”
Castle questions her description of him and says “somewhat??” looking to
Ryan and Espo for backup but they make gestures with their hands indicating his
is only a little famous. Beckett continues
saying “yes and if we are going to be together I have to come to terms with
that. And if they are going to write about you I want it to be the truth, I want
it to be about us.” As she says this she
puts her arms around Castle’s neck and you see Espo and Ryan show up in between
them interrupting their shared moment.
They back away realizing they aren’t fully welcome and Castle says “there’s
no one I’d rather share a headline with” and then asks if for “accuracy” the
article says they are getting married in space.
Beckett, starting to walk away, sweetly says “its not going to happen
babe!” I love that Beckett is finally
comfortable enough to make their relationship public and step into the
limelight a little. You also finally
realized how all the incorrect reporting was getting to her and she wanted
everyone to know that she was with Castle to end the speculation and rumors. It is so sweet to see Castle and Beckett make
compromises for each other as this is a critical part of all
relationships. Also, I will never get
over Beckett calling Castle babe! This was my easy pick for number one this
week! How about you guys?

Do you think we will get closure on Alexis and Pi? Do you think the paparazzi got some good
pictures of Espo and Ryan? Or maybe you just want to obsess over how perfect
