What's 城堡 without a headline photo-shoot, a couple of cop 模特 at station center, a drug related body snatching, a meeting with a Russian mobster and a fall out with Kate Beckett.

Halfway through Castle's snarly comments, Kate's edgy comebacks, 'The Mentalist's' Patrick Jane and Teressa Lisbon came to mind. They have that 'annoying partner that gives good insight' thing going on. The only difference between them, is that Beckett still has a problem accepting 城堡 as part of the team. 更多 so now he has dreaded up a personal element of her past.

I don't blame her, it was personal and she trusted 城堡 to keep it that way. 城堡 needed to learn boundaries, which was pretty difficult for him being a writer. He did have guts going to Beckett with that information, it could have blown up in his face, he barely got away with just a bruise. It only took his well grown daughter to teach him how to earn forgiveness. That just goes to 显示 that 城堡 would have another 日 to partner up with Beckett, probably even pull the rest of her hair out personally.

城堡 also had guts gambling with a Russian mobster. That was careless of the crew to send him in there, couldn't they have gotten someone trained, suppose Beckett wasn't quick enough to pull that switcheroo 'PS I can also be a Russian Showgirl' trick. 城堡 was well within inches from being killed, maybe it was Beckett's plan all along.

For the season premiere, it was satisfactory. We still have many doubts about Beckett's closure towards her mother's case and sometimes 城堡 dives in over his head. He sure has dodged a load some of bullets in his lifetime and that apology seemed sincere enough, but I doubt he would back off on the case Beckett 说 was closed. It's like saying 'Don't go there' and 你 still go, the interest is still there and he has a good enough lead.

I'm sure another photo-shoot would be out of the 问题 for Castle, especially in the station. The most intriguing scene for this episode was when the moving 面包车, 范 suddenly got hauled over 由 a party of body snatching crooks who just wanted their fix harvested in organs. The dead body being transported 由 the cops didn't even stop them, but that is what that profession does for you, clouds your judgment.
