Castle and Becket decide to hide their budding romantic relationship from both his family and the precinct, which is a difficult thing to do when Martha and Alexis come home early, and Ryan comes to them for help on the case.
But when they figure out who the man that’s been protecting Beckett is, they get to him too late, with Mr. Smith on his way to the hospital, and the file smoldering in the fireplace, all they have to go on is the clue of “86.” When Maddox follows them to the building Mr. Smith was trying to direct them to, he gets the file, but is blown up in the process, and when the team digs through the scraps of paper, they discover who’s behind it all. And Espo, Ryan and Castle will have to hurry if they want to stop Kate from turning into a murderer.
My Thoughts:
I love how high school they’re treating the relationship, It’ll be interesting to see who figures it out first, and how the secret spreads through the group… if it latches on like a rumor, or if they’re caught making out in the records room by the whole precinct.
I was not surprised to see Hilo go so quickly. The character wasn’t like lockwood, I didn’t see him as being viable over the long course of the season, he was single-minded in his pursuit of getting the file and killing her, and let’s face it… there can’t be an infinite number of copies. Though I really hope they do wind up with a real copy sometime in the near-ish future.
The lack of Alexis and Martha screen time was unfortunate. I love their interaction with Castle and it’s always sad when there isn’t much of it, though I am amazed they weren’t suspicious of him. I mean, Alexis has a pass, since she’s hung over, but Martha should have caught on a little bit.
It should be interesting to see if they go back to a semi normal routine after all that, or if the over arcing plot of the Senator’s involvement is more prevalent in these episodes than the other “big scheme” plots have been.
