I’m back! After the 3 week hiatus and my 1 week hiatus
due to work we are finally back with another Castle Cliff Notes! This week’s episode focused on Ryan getting
caught in the middle of a murder case as part of his security gig. To make matters worse, it because a family
matter when his brother in law and sister (who knew?!?!) become involved in the
situation as well. We got to see a whole
new side of Ryan with the rest of the 12th family helping solve the
case as well. So let’s get started with
this week’s countdown!
5. The Next Step
Alright, you know I have to have at least one Castle/Beckett
moment per countdown right? Wrapping up the case, Beckett explains to Castle
how much she hates politics and he hints that maybe Washington could use more
people like her. He moves a folder and
uncovers a NYPD captain’s exam study book.
He asks Beckett about it and she says “it’s the next step. I’m not sure
if it’s the right one yet, but I figure I take the test and see how I do.” Castle asks what she will do if she ends up
doing well on the exam and she says that it would make her decision for
her. I still can’t decide what I can see
the next step being for Beckett.
Captain? Politician? I believe that Beckett will aspire to
continue to move up and the best part is Castle will support her no matter what
her decision may be! So what do you
think Beckett’s next move will be?
4. The
Chase
Seamus/Ryan was fantastic during the whole episode but I
particularly liked the chase scene between Ryan, Espo and their suspect
Chambers. Ryan and Espo pull up outside
Chambers address when he sees them sitting in their car and starts to run down
an alley. Chambers hits a dead-end when
he runs into a chain-link fence and Ryan grabs him slamming him into the brick
wall next to them. He then points his
gun at Chambers and says “Give me a reason.”
Espo keeps calm and says “we’ve got him Ryan. We’re good.” Ryan is usually so calm and out of the team
the least aggressive but seeing this side of him was a welcome change! He had a job to do and Ryan felt like he
failed and had to do all he could to bring justice to the situation. I would be terrified if I were the suspect
and I would definitely want Ryan on my protective detail!
3. Crazy
Theory vs. Logic
Beckett gets a call in the morning and it is revealed that
Castle is not in bed with her. She walks
into the crime scene and sees Ryan and Castle using lasers to demonstrate the
gunshot trajectory. Castle reveals that Ryan texted him which prompts Beckett
to ask “you texted Castle and not me?”
Ryan, matter of fact, replies “well when you have a crazy theory you don’t
call the voice of reason.” Castle
explains that they have the wrong shooter and him and Ryan share a fist
bump. You had to feel a little bad for
Beckett that she was left out but Ryan definitely had a point! Ryan is on team
Castle a lot, so much so that we call him mini-Castle at times and he knew
exactly who to talk to run his theory. Castle
is definitely the one you call when you want to run a theory that goes against
logic and in the end it paid off! Also,
I’m sure Castle liked playing with the lasers (I’m kind of bummed we didn’t get
to see it)!
2. One Direction Fan Club
Ryan reveals that he has another security gig with brother in
law to Espo, Beckett, and Castle. He
jokes “Good news is Sara Grace will have enough money for college. Bad news is she’ll have no idea who I am.” Beckett asks who he is guarding and he
reveals he can’t tell. Castle deducts
that it goes beyond the “usual” athlete or reality star and it must be someone
important. He guesses “Perhaps the pope?
The Dalai lama?” Ryan just ignores him
and starts walking away. Castle then asks, in his dead on fangirl voice “Ryan! Is it One Direction? You would tell me right?!?!” Ryan continues to walk away and Castle
questions “Are they in town?” and Espo, without thinking, says “Oh they’re in
Hong Kong…” I was cracking up at Castle’s
One Direction freak out and when Espo went along with the gig and said they
were in Hong Kong I about lost it.
Beckett was laughing in the corner of the screen and I know I would have
had a hard time being serious in that scene if I were involved! Could you
imagine if Ryan was defending One Direction from screaming fans?!? That would be an interesting episode J
1. Family
Matters
After
discovering his brother in law, Frank, is somehow connected to the shooting Ryan
goes to find Frank after the police didn’t find him at his home. He meets him under a bridge to get clarification
on the events of the shooting. He tells
Frank he know he gave out the press pass and thinks Frank only hired him for
the job because he thought Ryan wouldn’t suspect him and he could steer the
investigation away from him. Frank says
no one was supposed to get hurt but Ryan doesn’t buy it. He says “Carolyn Decker…She’s dead. I blame myself
and all along it was you! How could you
do this, how could you do this to Gwen and the kids?” Ryan asks him directly if he killed her and
Frank says he didn’t and that got stuck in a bad situation because he needed
extra money. Frank stops talking and
says he won’t turn himself in which prompts Ryan to pull out his gun as sirens
are heard in the background. Again,
serious Ryan is very different than normal Ryan. He went straight to business and you could
tell how much it was killing him inside to have to interrogate his own family
as a potential suspect. Ryan, just like
the other members of the 12th seeks justice and even when it becomes
personal he puts justice first. I loved
that we got to see this side of Kevin, and while many might have missed the
Castle/Beckett focus this episode was a nice change of pace! Bravo Seamus!
