Castle - The Third Man, S02E14

Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) revealed this week that they have far more in common than we might have previously guessed, and confirmed that they would make a much better couple together than they would with anyone else.

Though dealing with a particularly confusing murder investigation, in which motives and suspects were scarce, Castle and Beckett decided to go out on a date. Not together, unfortunately. Castle, named Bachelor 9, went out with Bachelorette 3 (Sarah Brown), while Beckett dated Mr. July from the Fireman's Calendar. Except it was together because both couples ended up eating at the same restaurant.

Neither Castle nor Beckett paid any attention to their dates, both preoccupied by the particularities of the case. Beckett was so wrapped up in her work that she did not even notice her firefighter's attempts to get her attention, going so far as to ask "Do you want to have sex with me later?" and getting no reply. And when our heroes both solved the case at about the same time, they promptly contacted the other to discuss, leaving their dates to merge so that at least the firefighter and Bachelorette 3 had real dates that night.

Once the case was solved, Beckett and Castle, both starving since they had not eaten at their dates earlier, went to an all night burger joint. Too bad they still don't see how good they are together.

And while I loved their double date, my favourite part of this episode was when they went to make an arrest, Beckett still decked out in a fabulous one shoulder red dress, and she told Castle to hold her purse after she pulled out her gun. Isn't it nice to know that the NYPD can do their job and look fantastic at the same time!
