Castle: Liar Liar Beckett’s Pants On Fire!
“Castle” returned last night, picking up immediately after Kate’s shooting, but then fast forwarding three months.
Kate told Rick that she didn’t remember anything about the shooting, which including his profession of love. She cut him off for three months, as well as others. She at least dumped her doc boyfriend Josh, claiming she can’t be in a relationship until she works to tear down the wall she’s emotionally built up since her mom’s death.
The precinct got a new captain, Victoria “Iron” Gates. Castle was thrown out immediately, and because he hadn’t heard from Kate, he didn’t care. Once she reconnected with him, he used his sway with the mayor to get back in – which did NOT sit well with “Iron Gates.” So far I do NOT like the new chief at all, but I suppose we aren’t supposed to like her. I’m sure we’ll see a story somewhere to soften her, just a little.
Rick got a call from someone who Roy Montgomery sent a package to. It was the files “the people” demanded in order to assure Beckett’s safety, as well as Roy’s family. The man, who he was we don’t know, told Rick that as long as Kate didn’t dig . . . she’d be okay. If she dug, he couldn’t guarantee he could keep her safe.
Rick knew he couldn’t tell Kate about the conversation – yet – all he could do was try and convince her to drop the case. With absolutely no leads to go on, he did that. He suggested they’d find these people – but it wouldn’t be today.
The end of the show dropped the bombs. While Rick convinced Beckett to temporarily let it go, he himself has not and is working behind the scenes. We know from the old Captain’s talk that the person is someone with a lot of power, we saw the quote “We created him.” I’m thinking it’s either Rick’s buddy the Mayor, or possibly the Governor?
Meanwhile Kate was continuing therapy well past what she needed to in order to be reinstated. Is it to tear down that wall? Her doc is Whorf from Star Trek – Michael Dorn. She told him something shocking, she lied about the shooting – – – she remembers everything! So she knows Castle loves her, she just clearly can’t face that idea right now.
Both Castle and Kate are now keeping things from one another, which will for sure blow up at some point this season.
