This week we continued down the path
of Castle, PI and I know I continue to enjoy the new storyline. What started out as a case only involving
Castle, quickly turned into a case involving the whole team and it was full of
twists and turns. It wasn’t all case
based though as we learned the true meaning of naps and also got updated on
Espo’s dating life. In true Castle
fashion, nothing ever goes perfectly to plan but it all works out well in the
end and our 12th family is there to help each other out. I definitely didn’t hide my favorite
storyline of this episode as it dominates 3 spots in the countdown so hopefully
you enjoyed it too! Let’s get rolling
and see how many moments we can “match” on this week’s countdown!
5. Blind Date
Beckett
walks into the break room where Espo and Ryan are arguing. Ryan explains that a while ago they bought a
couples weekend ski trip and Beckett immediately gets the problem saying “Lanie
and Espo broke up…yet again.” Espo tries to say he has no problem getting girls
but Ryan explains he doesn’t have to find one because Jenny and he have found him
a date. He says they have a friend,
Stacy, who would be interested in meeting Espo.
He isn’t at all for the blind date until he sees her picture saying “she’s
alright” which aggravates Beckett who claims she is gorgeous. Espo finally agrees to meet her “but only
because she’s so excited to meet me and you don’t I don’t like to piss off the
ladies.” Whatever Espo! She was definitely an attractive lady and
there was no chance he was passing up that opportunity. I mean, he wouldn’t get screwed over by his
best friend right? (To Be Continued…)
4. Playing
Hooky
We see
Beckett setting up in Castle’s office to do paperwork at home since Gates is on
vacation. Beckett asks Castle if he
wants to play hooky with her but he questions if it is really hooky if they are
working. Beckett suggests working and
then “napping” which we quickly catch on is actually much more fun than a
typical nap. Castle immediately becomes interested saying “Oh, I like naps” and
Beckett agrees saying “yea naps are good.” Unfortunately though, just like most
times, Caskett fun times are ruined but this time it’s by Castle getting called
to a case. I love that Beckett tries to
bend the rules when the boss is away to spend more time with Castle and you
have to applaud her attempt at “naps.”
It was also a new experience to see Castle be the one to break up a
potential romantic moment as he gets a call.
No matter what you thought though, you have to love the “knock ‘em dead
babe” Beckett gives Castle on his way out!
What a kick ass couple.
3. Stacy
the Stalker
Back
from his blind date, Espo quickly asks to talk to Ryan. Espo explains “she was great until I started
getting the stalker vibe from her.” Apparently,
Stacy told Espo his blue shorts he wore during the triathlon made his legs look
sexy. Espo, doesn’t deny that fact, and quickly
tells Ryan “which is true, but how did she know I competed?” Ryan is still stuck there with no exit, and
Espo finishes by explaining he found out Stacy saw the photo on his match.com
profile that he didn’t make. Turns out
Ryan and Jenny made the profile to help find Espo a date for the ski weekend
and were hoping the date would go well enough that Espo wouldn’t mind the
profile they made. Espo isn’t one to let
Ryan off the hook though and tells him “this isn’t over.” You knew there was
something going on besides just the blind date but I didn’t see this
coming! I couldn’t believe Ryan and
Jenny made a fake match.com account and while I felt terrible for Espo, I have
to admit it was pretty hilarious (considering Espo took it like a champ). I especially enjoyed Espo saying he was about
to arrest the date because of how much she knew about him. I love that he was
such a good sport and I don’t think I’m alone in saying I wouldn’t mind seeing
the bike shorts photo…
2. Naps
Caskett
is celebrating closing the case and Castle reveals he isn’t happy he got played
which led to deaths. Beckett tries to
tell him not to take is personally but he starts to wonder if being a PI is
right for him. Beckett tells him not to
make a quick decision and sleep on it.
Castle agrees and then switches his tone saying “perhaps I should nap on
it.” Beckett responds with “naps are
good. I highly advocate naps.” She makes good on her statement too and crawls
onto Castle’s lap giving him a kiss.
That’s all the naptime we get though and the scene fades out and the
episode ends. I know it wasn’t much but
at least we got to see a little “napping” that we missed out on in the
beginning of the episode. I also love
how Beckett continues to support Castle in his PI work and encourage him
through similar situations she went though during her time at the 12th. I know we love the see the romance but I also
enjoy seeing their love through the unconditional support they provide each
other.
1. Last
Laugh
Well,
Espo did tell Ryan that their disagreement wasn’t over after the fake match.com
account and he wasn’t kidding. Ryan
apologizes for the profile and Espo surprises him by saying he has a date. He explains to Ryan that he logged on to his
account and is meeting a girl named Trixie who was interested in him. At first, you think Espo is finally accepting
the match account but that’s definitely not the case! It dawns on Ryan that
Trixie was the spoken work poet/exotic dancer and he explains that they
rejected her profile because they didn’t want her going on the trip with
them. Spitefully, Espo says “yea well
sucks for you cause she’ll be there.” I
love that the bromance is in full swing here and these two are going at it like
family. I know if this happened to me I
wouldn’t go down quietly and Espo knew exactly what he was doing by picking
Trixie. There was definitely a grudge
held here but I think it’s safe to say they are almost even now J Who knows, maybe Espo will find a nice date
for the ski trip after all!
Did you solve the case along with Castle, PI? Did you enjoy the match.com storyline as much
as I did? And are you getting excited
