Going into this week we all wanted
answers. Who took Castle? Where did he go? Why doesn’t he remember anything? Well, this week we gathered new evidence and
are finding ourselves closer and closer to the answers of these questions or possibly farther away? The whole episode wasn’t focused on Castle’s
case though, as we also looked into the murder of a toy company tycoon. It
wasn’t all fun and games this week but there were definitely plenty of nominees
for this week’s top moments so let’s get this party started!
5. Hey Sexy
I know this episode had
a lot of intense, serious moments but I feel we need to lighten this countdown
up a little bit. Beckett, Ryan, and
Esposito are discussing the case in the precinct when Esposito gets a call from
Lanie. Instead of a standard ring tone a
woman’s voice repeatedly says “Hey sexy.”
Embarassed he goes “Lanie must have changed my ringtone” and walks away
taking the call. I’m so happy that
Esplanie is back! Plus, I could
definitely see Lanie changing his ringtone (or who knows maybe Espo did it
himself) just to embarrass him at work!
I hope to see more of these two this season!
4. Girl
Talk
We have all been asking
for it and we finally got a solid “girl talk” scene! In the morgue Lanie, is comforting Beckett
telling her that she can’t expect everything to just go back to normal on
Castle’s first case back. Opening up to
Lanie, Beckett explains “I wanted to be us again and it’s like there’s this
shadow between us. Look I’m choosing to
trust him in spite of all of the evidence. I want to believe…” Lanie finishes her sentence saying “but you
don’t know if you can.” Beckett admits
her frustration that Castle is acting like everything is fine when it’s
not. I love it when in the show Castle
and Beckett end up switching positions.
Think back to season 4 with all the angst/ emotions following Castle
admission of love at the end of season 3.
Castle was sick of Kate pretending everything was fine and carrying on
like normal and now the tables are turned.
It’s great for character development and as usual I love that Beckett
will open up to Lanie and not try to handle frustration on her own. It’s healthy to have an outlet that isn’t
your significant other to discuss concerns without judgment. Here’s to more
girl talk!
3. Grief
Dating?
No
episode ever has enough Martha for my liking, but I was loving every minute of
this next moment. Back at the loft,
there is a knock at the door and Martha, looking classy as usual, steps out
saying it’s her date that she met while Castle was missing. Surprisingly confused, Castle asks “you picked
up a man at grief counseling?” Martha
politely asks him to leave the room because “at the moment our relationship is
built on mutual loss and if he finds out you have returned and are alive it
will ruin everything.” Castle, still
somewhat at a loss for words asks how this man could possibly not know he has
been found with all the coverage its getting and his recent TV interview but
Martha nonchalantly says ”Robert doesn’t watch TV.” I have no doubt that Martha was initially at
grief counseling for the right reasons and was obviously torn up inside that
Castle was missing, but this was just hilarious to me. I’m sure some people were offended but really
does this surprise you? Now that
everyone is back home safe, Martha sees no problem in performing her part a
little longer for her benefit. Once an
actor, always an actor!
2. Off the Hook!
So many of you probably
saw this in advance as it was the sneak peak, it was still fantastic whether it
was your first viewing or 100th.
During his interview, Castle offers a cash reward for any information
about his disappearance and unknowing to anyone apparently gives the precinct
number as the contact info. Unhappy with this, Gates comes storming towards him
at the precinct and says “Mr. Castle! Just what in the hell do you think you’re
doing?” Castle explains that he
definitely wasn’t going to give out his home number as it’s private. This definitely wasn’t the right thing to say
to Gates as she explains how many man hours are being wasted and that the phone
just continues to ring. She rambles “The
phones have been ringing off the hook!
Did you hear that! Ringing off
the hook!” Obviously, over Gates
scolding Castle apparently does the only thing he thinks will quite her and
plants a kiss right on Gates’ lips with Beckett watching. He grabs his messages, says “we have leads”
and walks away leaving a shocked Gates and Beckett confused and trying to
figure out what just happened. Later
Castle reveals that the kiss is one of his “tactile weapons.” I’ve said it many times during this weekly
countdowns but I can’t get over how much Gates has changed over her seasons on
the show. I love that she still gives
Castle a hard time but doesn’t go crazy over what he did. New to the precinct Gates would have easily
kicked Castle out for that stunt but current Gates definitely has a soft spot
for Castle even if she doesn’t want to admit it. Plus, who wouldn’t want a kiss from Castle??
1. Unsolved
Mysteries
At the end of the
episode, Castle and Beckett have a little alone time and reflect on what has
happened during the timeframe of the episode.
Castle is still trying to figure out what happened while he was gone and
is convinced he would never ask to not remember something that happened. Beckett tries to console him saying that no
matter what happened he already knew the truth and decided he didn’t want to
know anymore. Castle then tells Kate
that he wants to marry her tomorrow, first thing. Beckett tells him that she wants nothing more
than to marry him but not in this situation as they both need a little distance
from everything. She promises she isn’t
going anywhere; they just need to find some solid ground first. They agree to wait a month and go from
there. A few things I like here… First,
I loved Beckett telling Castle she wasn’t leaving. In previous season Beckett’s natural flight
instinct might have kicked in and who knows how she would have handled this
whole “castle gone missing” scenario, but I’m doubting it would have ended with
them still together. It really shows how
both characters had to grow to be in a place that their relationship would flourish. Also, more talk of a wedding! Who doesn’t like a November wedding? As long
as this time we actually get the wedding *nudge nudge Marlowe.* As the
mysterious man Castle met with said “some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved”
but I’m hoping we can solve this one and have a wedding!
Well we still don’t know exactly what happened with Castle
but it’s definitely getting more intense each week! What do you think happened? And do you think there will be a November
wedding? Join the discussion in the comments section below, tweet me @DenialLove or tweet us at @TwelfthPrecinct!
