This week we got to see Caskett on
their unofficially official honeymoon!
The case brought the team into the world of the Wild Wild West and there
was plenty of darn tootin’ Castle fun to go along with it! Also,
who could resist Beckett and Castle in their western wear? Based on my twitter feed last night, Beckett’s
black corset getup nearly killed us all!
So let’s giddy up and get this show on the road as this week’s edition
of Castle Cliff Notes rides into the sunset.
5. Wild West Romance
After
visiting the Indiana Reservation, Castle and Beckett are riding back to the ranch. Castle tells Beckett that it doesn’t make
sense that they are married but aren’t acting like it and Beckett asks what he
has in mind. We cut to the duo sitting
by a campfire while Castle serenades Beckett with a harmonica. Beckett admits that it is a little magical
and they toast to each other and the journey that lies ahead. Kate gives Castle a kiss and then shyly
smiles are him, resting her head on his shoulder. Beckett comes to a realization saying that
maybe it is their honeymoon and gets up starting to unbutton her shirt. Castle clumsily gets up and mimics her until
Beckett tells him not to move. He thinks
she is still in romantic mode and says “your wish is my command” but Beckett
points out the snake approaching his feet.
She shoot nears the snake to scare it and while successful it also scares
the horses away stranding them in the hills.
I love that Beckett was starting to come around to the idea of the ranch
being their honeymoon and I always love her playful side. Castle was being his usual cocky but goofy
and adorable self which added to the perfection of this moment. We should really keep track of the number of
times Caskett gets interrupted because I’m sure we could fill a page!



4. Outlaw
KBex
Castle is talking to
Ryan about a letter they found talking about Diamondback. The letter talks about uncovering a big
secret that has to do with the Indian word that Whitney had asked the elder
about. The letter then discusses that the
clue would undercover the secret of the Peacock boys who Castle recognizes from
the Wanted poster he was given at the bar.
He starts to tell Ryan that they are wanted men, when Beckett walks out
in a very formfitting black corset outfit fit for an outlaw. This stops Castle mid word and he ends up
saying “Percy and Cornelius Pea…cock” Sticking to business, Beckett asks Ryan
to keep them posted and Castle tries to end the conversation but keeps stuttering
while he stares at Beckett. Beckett quickly says “eyes back in your sockets
cowboy. We’ve got a murder to solve.” Can you really blame Castle? That black outfit was amazing and I’m sure
this was part of one of his many fantasies.
I’m always jealous of Kate’s closet, but I would definitely like to add
that to my closet for Halloween! And as
always, Kate is quick with the comebacks to put Castle in his place and say “down
boy.” As I mentioned earlier, this
outfit was dominating my news feed and it’s very clear why! Such a great choice by @redcarpetLuke and an
outfit that will definitely be remembered!


3. No
Song For You
Esposito,
Lanie, and Ryan are all gathered at Castle’s loft waiting for an announcement
from Castle and Beckett. Kate reveals
that they just returned from the Hamptons and got married and her announcement
is met with less than enthusiasm from their audience. At the same time, Espo says “you guys suck”
while Lanie says “hold on” and Ryan goes “why did you do that?” Lanie speaks for the group asking why they
didn’t invite them and approaches Beckett saying “I am your maid of honor. I
haven’t had a carb in months just in case I have to put that damn dress back
on.” Beckett cuts her off trying to
soften the situation and says “and you look great!” but Lanie isn’t having it
telling Kate to “save the flattery.” Lanie tells her they are going out to
dinner and ordering all of the desserts and then switches to her softer side
and congratulates Kate on her marriage while punching Castle in the
stomach. Castle goes over to Espo and
Ryan who are also less than pleased.
They tell him they had a speech prepared and wrote a song and when
Castle suggests they sing it at their reception they refuse. Espo says “no song for you” and Ryan confirms
with “no song for you.” Beckett gets a call about a murder and says they have
to cut the celebration short but the boys say once again they weren’t invited
and stay behind. I loved the reaction of
Lanie, Espo, and Ryan! You could tell
how happy they were for Caskett but they way there were scolding them for not
inviting them was priceless. I
especially loved Ryan and Espo talking about their song. I can only hope we actually get to hear some
of this mysterious “song” at the reception!
Also, Martha interjecting about how fantastic the wedding was made me
laugh so hard while the others bitterly looked on. Subtlety has never been her specialty! I think we can all understand that the gang
was a little hurt they weren’t invited but underneath their fake anger they are
truly happy for Caskett! Also, any scene with the main Castle
cast always scores extra bonus points with me!


2. Showdowns and Gun Slingers
Sitting
in the saloon, Castle gets a call from Ryan telling him that the third partner,
James Grady, was the killer. Sitting
next to Castle, Grady takes Castle’s phone, steps on it, and starts to walk
away. Castle yells at him to stop and
Grady questions if Castle is going to make him as his fingers move towards his
holstered gun. Facing each other, Castle
and Grady are almost in dueling position when Grady asks Castle if he has any
last words. Castle, always one to bring
humor to the situation says that if he survives the ordeal he is going to write
a scathing review on Yelp! They then draw their weapons and as Castle fumbles
with his gun, Beckett shots Grady’s weapon out of his hand. Beckett jokingly complains, “Castle I leave
you alone for five minutes and you end up in a showdown.” Castle spars back saying “Yea well good thing
I married the fastest gun from the east.”
First off, Castle going straight to Yelp! Review threats was
hilarious. Also, while I’m sure some
people were upset Castle couldn’t fend for himself again and fumbled his gun, I
always enjoy seeing Beckett step in and help him out. It’s always been her role and she sees
herself as the cop/protector in the relationship so I have no problems with
this scene. You would think Castle would
have practiced a lot of pistol un-holstering though since he was so excited
about it at the beginning of the episode!


1. The
Real Honeymoon Begins
In the break room, Espo
and Ryan are still complaining about not being invited to Castle and Beckett’s
wedding. Gates interrupts them saying she
has been listening to their complaining and asks “what the hell is wrong with
you two?” She tells them that they
should stop whining “like two little school girls who weren’t invited to the
dance” and be happy that their close friends have found happiness. Espo and Ryan admit they have been jerks and
Gates tells them that if they are interested there might be “something” they
can do to make it up Castle and Beckett.
We then cut to the ranch where Beckett, who is now in a romantic Wild
West dress, lassos Castle away from the horse and buggy. He tries to get her to cooperate because they
need to get going so she is back in the office by morning but Beckett informs
him that Ryan and Espo have each given her 2 of their vacation days as a
wedding gift so they can have a honeymoon.
The End! I found it odd that Ryan
and Espo were so hung up on the impromptu wedding, but leave it to Gates to
sort things out. She tries to give
Castle a hard time but she typically has Caskett’s back. I think a small honeymoon is exactly what
Castle and Beckett need and I’m sure they will come back feeling totally
refreshed and ready for the next case! Beckett playing into the whole Wild West
theme and her character was adorable, and it was nice to see a little role
reversal with Castle trying to be all business and get to the airport while
Kate was playful. I also enjoyed that
Beckett agreed to stay at the ranch when they could have gone anywhere for
those 4 days. Plus, we can only imagine the crazy outfits and activities they
are getting themselves into J Caskett honeymoon for the
win this week!
