Good news Castle fans! The mini hiatus is finally over and back with
a bang in this week’s 70’s themed episode!
We got enough disco, polyester clothing, and 70’s slang references to
last us for years and I was loving the whole thing. No, this wasn’t finally and instance of
Castle’s conspiracy theories being right and our crime solving duo using a time
machine but it was equally as fun. So
get your funky threads on and lets head to the disco for this week’s Castle
Cliff Notes Countdown!
5. Privacy Please
Walking out of Castle’s bedroom, Castle and Beckett are
stopped by Martha who says “I am going to make your day! I have the most exciting news I just wanted to
wait until you were finished doing…you know, whatever you were doing in there.”
Castle quickly says “sleeping” and Beckett clearly not liking the direction of
the conversation asks “what news?” Turns
out Martha has some extravagant flower arrangement ideas that aren’t quite what
Caskett were looking for, and this leads to Martha feeling a little left out of
the wedding planning. The reason this
scene made the countdown? I loved Martha’s
“whatever you were doing in there” comment and Castle and Beckett clearly
trying to change the topic of discussion.
The dynamic between Martha and Castle is always entertaining and I love
Beckett fitting perfectly into their little household. It was a short moment, but definitely a
memorable one this episode. And don’t
worry, this isn’t the last you’ll see of Martha in this countdown!
4. Hot
Mama
Castle and Beckett go to see Harold for the first time and
they get a quick introduction into his condition of pathological grieving and
how he believes it is currently the 1970’s.
He sees Kate and calls her a “hot mama” saying she could be his guest
all night long. Beckett quickly goes
into work mode introducing herself as Detective Beckett and introducing
Castle. Harold automatically assumes
Castle is the Captain as he is the male and assumes he is the one training
Beckett. Harold then circles Beckett and says “Have you ever seen a cop with an
ass that fine? If this is women’s lib I’m all for it!” Castle tries to justify what Harold said by
saying “to be fair, you do have a very fine… never mind.” I loved this first
glimpse into the 70’s theme of the episode and Harold’s comment to Beckett and
his automatic reversal of her and Castle’s roles was funny (not to mention refreshing
to see the progress women in the workplace have made). Castle trying to justify Harold’s ass comment
was exactly what everyone was thinking but watching himself dig his own grave
with Beckett was funny. He caught
himself just in time though but not before proclaiming his love for Beckett’s
behind. Loved this scene!
3. That
70’s Precinct
Needing to turn the clock in the precinct back to the 70’s,
Castle enlists Martha’s help to make it happen (and to make her feel better
about them not using her wedding ideas).
Turns out Martha brought in actors and wrote scripts for the whole
thing. First glance of the elevator, Martha did an amazing job and Harold is
clearly buying the whole thing. Worried, Beckett tells Castle that if the plan
doesn’t work she’s going to kill him. Ryan and Esposito even get in on the fun
dressing up as Snookie and Ray from the old crime fighting videos. Harold says he wants to talk to Snookie and
Ray only (since he “loves those guys”) and Beckett tells Espo and Ryan to take
him to interrogation. Still amazed that
a women is in a leading role, Harold says “I can’t believe you let this chick
boss you around.” To add to the fun that
was already happening, Alexis turns up wearing a way too little clothing for
Castle’s liking, Ryan gets really into character, and we got to watch Castle
and Beckett flub their way through their “scripts.” Overall, it was a hilarious blast from the
past and a lot of fun packed into one scene.
You dig?

2. Foxy
Beckett and Castle are heading to the morgue dressed in their
70’s attire worried that Lanie isn’t going to hold up her end of the
bargain. They have nothing to worry
about though, because when they enter the morgue with Harold she is dressed in
full on 70’s attire. Harold is impressed
with how she looks, and frankly so was I!
Castle, amused asks what she’s wearing and Beckett tells him that the only
70’s outfit she had was her Foxy Brown Halloween costume. Harold is trying to convince her to spend a
night with him and Lanie with all her sass says “I’d rather be dead than end up
in your bed jive turkey.” Super hats off
to Tamala on this scene! She sold the
part so well and looked amazing in her Foxy Brown outfit! Damn girl! Super
sassy Lanie lands this scene high on this week’s countdown! Dy-no-mite!
1. Last
Dance
After solving the case, Harold, Beckett, Castle, his family,
and the rest of the 12th family head to Glitterotti to have some fun
and say goodbye to Vince. At the club,
Castle and Beckett (in a fabulous dress) are showing off their moves on the dance
floor. Castle tells Beckett that he didn’t
know she could disco dance. Beckett responds
saying “Oh Castle, I’m a woman of many hidden talents.” Castle responds with “I look forward to
discovering every single one.” We then
see Alexis and Martha, who also look fabulous and Castle expresses his
excitement that Alexis has more clothes on then she did in the precinct (um, embarrassing
dad…). Ryan and Espo, still in their Snookie and Ray attire are also dancing
and of course Espo is checking out Lanie who looks great again! And Ryan doing the splits? Fantastic!
The real surprise though was Captain Gates making her way around the dance
floor. Castle sees her and asks if her attendance means “all is forgiven” but
Gates assures him that it just means she likes to dance. Regardless, it was great to see the team
having fun outside of work! Also, I’m definitely
looking forward to discovering more of Beckett’s hidden talents along with
Castle. Any ideas of what other hidden
talents she could have? Maybe some BMX
riding based on next week’s promo? Haha!
Overall, I can’t deny a full team moment the number one spot this week
so this moment tops our countdown!
