I missed Castle about as much as Beckett did, though I was not nearly so annoyed at its absence as she was about his. Seeing his cardboard cutout in the window, just staring at her while she worked that crime scene, really gave the right eerie sensation, and to follow that up with Castle turning up at her next crime scene, gun in hand, well, that was just perfect.
Plus, while we never really believed Castle capable, I did love that Beckett got to take out her anger at him about not having been called. And, as always, I was glad that Alexis (Molly C. Quinn) showed him how much trouble he was in because she was annoyed at her boyfriend for not calling. Men are idiots, and I suppose we women should know this and not expect quite so much from them, but on the other hand, shouldn't they know better?
The case itself was unique. Sure, we've seen counterfeiters before, but to have them get together through the bizarre connection of a strip club, now that is certainly something new. I loved the club - it was so vibrant and fun. Too bad that its owners turned out to be killers. It was absolutely brilliant to have them separate, with one ending up behind Castle and the other behind Beckett so that the two ended up saving each other's lives. Now that was a great start to the season.
I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Naked Heat. At least there we get a little of the satisfaction of having the two leads getting together. But I don't actually mind as the relationship Castle is in at the moment does actually seem to make sense. Perhaps the moment has passed, and as long as I don't start immediately wishing they would hook up in the next episode, it'll all be all right.
