The episode began with Castle being taped into a chair by Alexis (Molly C. Quinn). Why, you ask? Because Nikki Heat was going to be taped into a chair in his next book, and he wanted the scene to be authentic. Watching Nathan Fillion bounce around a room in a chair, and the delightful little quirk of his eyebrow when he figured out how to escape...can anything be better? Actually, the rest of the episode matched that level of awesomeness.
We had great moments to laugh - like when Beckett (Stana Katic) accused Ryan (Seamus Dever) and Esposito (Jon Huertas) if they braided each other's hair and debated who the cutest Jonas brother is when no one else was around. And the cherry? That they already agreed that it was Mike. At least, I seem to recall them saying Mike...is Mike even a Jonas brother? Not the point! Ryan and Esposito may not get huge plot focus but Dever and Huertas make each of their lines and actions count without taking away from Castle and Beckett.
And there is really the focus of the episode. Yes, Milano and Fillion had great chemistry, easily evoking passion of long ago that still remains, but the development was really a vehicle for Beckett and Castle's relationship. For once, Beckett sees Castle feeling true feelings for someone, to the point that he is vulnerable. She told one heck of a beautiful story when she pointed out that Kyra might in fact be the murderer and the fact that Castle could not even see it proved that he was far too close to the case.
And in the end, when Kyra left Castle to go marry her fiance, asking why of all the crime scenes at all the weddings in the world, he walked into hers, you knew that she was going to be with the right person, and you couldn't help but hope that Beckett, finally, was able to see that there was some possibility of Castle having the right kind of affection for her.
But what did you think?
