While it probably won’t come as much of a shock that an episode of CASTLE kicks off with a character death, what might is the victim’s somewhat surprising connection to both Beckett — and more importantly for the sake of an episode that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the final bullet flies — Beckett’s mother.
Are you one of those CASTLE fan who have been clamouring for more screen time for Ryan and Esposito? Well today, or to be more specific, Monday, is your lucky day. Suffice to say, Television’s favorite bromance plays an integral role in Monday’s case. That’s the good news. With the bad news being that Ryan and Esposito’s excellent detective skills may play a little too integral role. Cue collective Gulp! in 3… 2… 1…
Remember that cold killer open we mentioned earlier in the post? Rest assured, you won’t be the only one. Particularly after a titular hero’s brush with death makes headlines, causing a certain concerned parent to sit her boy down and finally confront him with the the slightly awkward albeit painfully obvious question: Why exactly does an author who wrote 22 best-selling novels before he met a certain someone now find himself spending every day at a police station, and risking his life in the process?!
Sights are set, shots are fired, and to put it as blunt as we can without give too much away, Beckett’s obsession with getting to the bottom of her mother’s murder may cost her far more than she ever imagined.
And since no post on Monday’s CASTLE would possibly be complete without a bit of intel on the most anticipated kiss to hit the small screen since House and Cuddy locked lips, Castle and Beckett fans will be happy to discover that said lip-lock doesn’t disappoint. To the point that one of the lip-lockees will utter the words, “that was amazing” when it’s over.
