R I S E
Rick visits Kate in hospital after learning that she is now awake, and takes her a huge bunch of flowers. DMB there, so Rick is shy. DMB leaves. Kate tells Rick that he looks shocked. Rick then says he thought he'd never see her again. He asks her does she remember anything, and she says no. Rick then says he'll return when she's a bit more better. Kate then says she's tired and asks does he mind if he dosnt, ie, that she will contact him when she's ready to. Rick reluctantly agrees.
(This then becomes the reverse of the start of Season 3, ie A Deadly Affair, where Rick didnt call, now Kate dosnt . . . ).
Fast forward 3 months...... Kate returns to the precinct.....and learns that Rick was there every day helping out till the new Captain kicked him out.
Kate meets the new Captain, Victoria Gates, of Internal Affairs. Kate has also found out that Rick is at a book signing, and goes there. Rick is still angry that she didnt call. He leaves booksigning and goes to the park...and Kate follows. she tells him that she broke up with Dr Josh.
she has walls, that she cant have the relationship that she wants till they come down, till she gets those responsible for the murder of her mother.
Rick 'We'll just have to take them down'
Kate 'That will be difficult with captain Gates kicking you out'
Rick 'I only 'let' her throw me out. She'll take me back. We'll figure it out together'.
Precinct: Rick advises Kate to give it time, to get her bearings again.
Kate 'How am I supposed to get my bearings when someone out there wants me dead??'
Rick 'By not letting them rob you of your life. I promise you, we will figure this out, and make them pay - just not today'.
ENCAPSULATING -DEFINING HOOKS; KATE APOLOGISES TO RICK FOR NOT CONTACTING HIM WHEN SHE WAS WELL ENOUGH (AND WELL ENOUGH TO RETURN TO WORK).;
SHE ALSO EXPLAINS HER POSITION RE HER WALLS, THAT SHE CANT HAVE THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP SHE WANTS TILL THE WALLS COME DOWN, AND TILL SHE GETS THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER MOTHERS MURDER;
RICK SAYS THEY IE HIM AND HER, WILL HAVE TO TAKE THOSE RESPONSIBLE DOWN, THAT NEW CAPTAIN, GATES, WILL TAKE HIM BACK;
THAT THEY (RICK AND KATE) WILL FIGURE IF OUT TOGETHER, THEY WILL MAKE THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE PAY, BUT NOT TODAY.
THE TEAM/WORK PARTNERSHIP IS TOGETHER AGAIN., AND FANS REJOICE. SEASON 4 PROVED TO BE A SEASON OF POSSIBILITIES AND PROMISE OF ROMANCE TO COME.

ENCAPSULATING -DEFINING HOOKS
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Insurance Investigator, Serena Kaye . . . . . .
Kate is jealous of the attention that Rick is paying to Serena Kaye, Insurance Investigator for Art Museum.
Kate sees her police psychologist since the shooting, about her frustration/jealousy over Serena, referring to her as being a 'show off, know it all, who wont listen', and that Rick likes her. . . . . .
Psychologist asks Kate 'What are you afraid of, that he Wont wait for you, --- Or, that he Will???'
The boys learn that Serena has been a thief (but she refers to it as being an 'art retriever' '. Kate gets Rick to ask Serena out, while Kate and boys search her motel room in search for stolen items.
Rick tries to message Kate that he and Serena are returning to her room, to give Kate and boys time to escape. Kate dosnt see messages.
Espo knows that Kate is jealous. Kate opens Serena's door, only to meet/see Rick kiss Serena so Serena cant see Kate emerging from Serena's room. . . .
So Kate is now even more jealous, and wont allow Rick to sit in on the interview.
After Serena is found innocent, she tells Kate upon leaving; 'I dont take what belongs to other people', and Kate is stunned, embarrassed, but still smirks.
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOKS; KATE IS JEALOUS OF SERENA KAYE, AND ITS OBVIOUS;
PSYCHOLOGIST ASKS KATE IF SHE IS AFRAID THAT RICK WONT WAIT FOR HER, OR, THAT HE WILL . . . .
KATE IS VERY JEALOUS WHEN SHE SEES RICK KISSING SERENA KAYE (ANOTHER RUSE);
SERENA KAYE TELLS KATE THAT SHE SERENA, DOSNT TAKE THINGS THAT BELONG TO OTHER PEOPLE , IE SERENA CAN SEE THAT RICK LIKES KATE, AND VICE VERCA;
FANS ARE EXCITED THAT KATE IS NOW SHOWING HER JEALOUSY, AND THAT SHE OBVIOUSLY LIKES RICK.

Exactly!!. Too many golden opportunities lost re hardly any Jim Beckett and Kate scenes. the Biggest one being the eventual wedding . . . . .as in. . . . . he didnt say a word. Not to Kate, not to Rick as in welcome to the family, take care of my daughter etc. Past eps couldve involved Jim as in murdered clients, murdered family/friends of client/s etc etc. Shame for not utilising Family Lawyer Jim Beckett more than they did. Ironically, Jim's first ep was Knockdown . . . . (ie Jim was indeed knocked down of being shown much). From memory, his eps were Knockdown, Knockout, the eventual wedding.

ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOKS
C O P S & R O B B E R S
Rick and Martha are caught up in a bank robbery and it soon escalates into a hostage situation. The robbers are dressed in surgical gear, and are calling themselves by famous tv doctors. Before the robbery happens, Rick is bored, so rings Kate. while on the phone, the robbery starts. The lead robber goes by 'Trapper John'. Kate calls for backup, and a Command Post is set up via Hostage Negotiating team, who at first dosnt want or need Kates help. The lead robber uses Ricks mobile phone to speak to Kate, and thus the robber now only wants to speak to Kate and not the Hostage Negotiating team . . . .
The lead robber tells Kate that he'll only negotiate with Kate, and warns her not to jerk him around or robber will start killing hostages, 'Starting with your Boyfriend' . . . .
Rick uses Martha's birthday bracelet of jewelled stones to do morse code on the bank floor, and Kate tells the Negotiator that its Rick. After a few attempts they work out the code is a Safety Deposit Box , and who it belongs to.
A hostage has an epileptic grande mal seizure and paramedics are called. Kate volunteers to pretend to be a paramedic to see what the situation is. Rick, in doing a bathroom visit, visits the bank vault area and sees C4 explosive there, as well as various boxes pulled out. Rick writes down the explosive on a note, and carefully gives it to Kate who is attending the epileptic man. She soon after holds Rick's hand/fingers, as the transfer of note happens. Kate also tells epileptic man, but also speaking to Rick, 'I Promise you Im gonna get you of of here'
kate takes the epileptic man out on stretcher, and looking at Rick as door of bank closes.
Lead robber gets edgy. He wants transportation. He threatens to shoot Kates 'boyfriend'. Kate responds angrily with;
'Listen to me JACKASS!!! I Do NOT control traffic. If you pull that trigger I will walk through those doors and PERSONALLY put a bullet in your Skull!!!'
Robber responds to Rick 'Your girlfriend is a Hellcat!!'
Rick 'Yeah well, she's Not my girlfriend'
Robber 'Too much woman for you??'
Outside, while the boys investigate the owner of the Safety Deposit Boxes, the bank at the rear blows up, leaving Kate terrified.
Kate desperately searches for him, Martha and the other hostages, and she much relieved hears him call out to her, and she finds him, Martha and the others locked up behind another section of the vault. Kate cannot hide her glowing beaming face as she finds him alive, and Rick is also relieved and smiling. Kate starts to untie Ricks hands then Martha says they all need their hands untied.
Kate discovers that the epileptic man set the whole thing up, as he's been abusing his wife to get custody of young son, for years. He also killed her mother for the key to the safety deposit box to learn where she was hiding. The boys arrested him, and got young son and mother back.
Back at Loft, Rick says he didnt get a proper chance to thank Kate for saving his life.
Kate 'Theres no need Castle, we're partners, thats what we do.'
Rick 'Yes, some of us more than others....'
Kate puzzled asks 'Whats That supposed to mean???'
Rick 'Only that this is the 8th time youve saved my life and Ive saved your life 9 times'
Kate 'First of all I cannot Believe that you're keeping score, and secondly, theres No Way that you have Saved my life 9 times!! - 9??? Please!!'
Rick 'well lets review shall we? The first time I distracted you from the gun man re fake passports, and yes that was a save, the 2nd time the serial killer put a bomb in your kitchen, while you were taking a shower, and I had to battle the hellish flames to pull you out of your bathtub, and I wont be Forgetting that Any Time Soon!!!'
ENCAPSULATING - HOOK LINES; ROBBER REFERS TO KATE AS RICK'S GIRLFRIEND; ROBBER ALSO REFERS TO RICK AS KATES BOYFRIEND;
KATE TELLS RICK (AND EPILEPTIC SEIZURE MAN) THAT SHE WILL GET HIM OUT; SHE ALSO LOOKS AT RICK ONCE MORE AS BANK DOOR CLOSES;
KATE ANGRILY TELLS ROBBER THAT IF HE SHOOTS RICK THAT SHE WILL PERSONALLY PUT A BULLET IN ROBBERS SKULL;
ONCE ROBBERS ARE BLOWN UP, KATE FINDS RICK AND MARTHA AND OTHER HOSTAGES SAFE, AND SHE GLOWS WITH HAPPINESS AND RELIEF.
RICK IS ALSO VERY GLAD TO SEE KATE TOO.
BACK AT THE LOFT, RICK THANKS KATE FOR SAVING HIS LIFE AND KATE QUESTIONS THE AMOUNT OF TIMES HE SAYS HE'S SAVED HERS. THEY CONTINUE FLIRTING.
ALL CASKETT FANS REJOICE AS DIALOGUE HAS REFERRED TO KATE AND RICK AS BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND EVEN THOUGH THEY WERNT, BUT WE DEFINATELY KNEW THEY ARE IN LOVE. WE KNEW IT BY THE INFAMOUS LA EP.
CASKETT FANS ALSO REJOICE BY THE FINGERS TOUCHING, KATE SAYING SHE WILL GET RICK OUT OF THERE, THE LAST LOOK BEFORE THE BANK DOOR CLOSES.

C U F F E D
The infamous ep that Hooked...me to this show and made me buy Season 1-4 when season 4 finished, and then buy every next season dvd when it came out.
The first scene is what H o o k e d me from the first second. The sight of Caskett lying on the mattress hooked me hook,line and sinker. . . . .I was still video taping at the time and the video ran out. Apart from s5 1-10, other eps to be played constantly apart from Knockdown was the 100th ep, was Still, qne of course the final scene in Always.
Caskett are asleep on a mattress in a dark room. Kate wakes first, then eventually wakes Rick. They are handcuffed, and to each other, but not the usual way. rick initially asssumes that Kate handcuffed them. She didnt. someone else did it to them. The first thing Rick says is 'Kinky!!'.
Kate 'Its Not funny!!'
Rick 'I didnt say 'funny', - - -I said 'kinky'. I didnt cuff us'
Kate 'You think I cuffed us???'
Rick 'well they look like police cuffs'.
Kate then realises that her watch is missing, as is her badge, and her wallet and gun. Ricks watch and phone are also missing.
Kate thinks they were drugged. She moves, and asks Rick to lift her top.
Rick puzzled says 'I think you might still be under the influence, but ok'
Kate 'Not like That. just check my back, theres something there that Hurts!' Rick sees a mark.
The ep is now mixed with flashbacks of them remembering where theyve been, and (trying to) work(ing) out the now ie where they are and how they got there.
Flashback; Espo and Lanie are fighting, and Caskett can see why;
Kate; They Both want to be together, but no one wants to admit to it.'
Rick 'Arghh!! -- Why do people Do that to themselves?'
Kate 'Maybe they just dont See it'
Rick 'How could they Not? Its So Obvious!!'
Present Scene; Back at orecinct, Ryan and Espo discuss holidays; Espo says going by car is a relationship test. So is canooing.; 'Its all about Power - direction >> like a mariage. If the canoe goes straight, its a compromise, it shows you can work together, find a rhythm, move forward in the same direction. But, if its going around in Circles, So is your Relationship'.
Back with Caskett, turning around and around on the mattress . . . . .
Kate thinks there is a light on a wall. She clicks it on. They then see a large metal box on the floor. They cant move it. Kate then spots a hatch in the room's ceiling. Casketts next boost lift. Kate pushes the hatch door open, but then falls to the ground.
Rick then comments the last time they did a booost lift, she wore sneakers. Now she wears boots . . . . Kate then asks for help to remove her boots.
Rick 'Lift up my shirt, take off my boots . . . .in normal circumstances I would Like where this was heading .. . . '
Kate 'You can fantasise later, After we get out of the room.'
Rick 'Just so you know, its not as much fun if I have your permission'.
Next boost lift attempt. This time hatch door opens again, but their captor opens it from other side., and Caskett fall to ground again. Rick has found a way to open the large metal box, using a bobby pin. The box is open, and they then wish they didnt -- inside is knives, machetes chains etc.
Later Caskett atempt to break a hole through the cinderblock wall. They kick the hole through, and then come face to fact with a tiger. A hungry female one.
Caskett start calling/yelling for help. espo and Ryan who now realise they are missing and have been searching, find them., and rescue them, along with Captain Gates. Espo gives Kate a box containing her badge, phone, watch, and Ricks phone and watch. Their captors, a mother and two sons, arrested.
Back at precinct; Rick 'If I had to be Hitched to someone, it would be You'
Kate 'Hitched??'
Rick 'Hitched??? - I didnt say 'hitched', - - - Cuffed. - Handcuffed - not hitched, or colloquial, connotation, or meaning.'
Kate 'Its ok Castle. I understood what you meant. And for what its worth, I wouldnt mind being Cuffed to You Either'
Rick 'Really??'
Kate 'Next time do it without the tiger'. Kate is walking out of the precinct,heading to the lift.
Rick 'Next time???'. Kate turns around to face him, then smirks/smiles.
Rick clears his throat and half smirks.
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOKS; FIRST SCENE CASKETT LYING ON A STRANGE MATTRESS, THEN WE LEARN THEY ARE CUFFED TOGETHER.
KATE ASKS RICK TO CHECK HER BACK FOR NEEDLE MARK. SHE ALSO LATER ASKS HIM TO TAKE OFF HER BOOTS . . . .
ESPO DESCRIBES CANOOING AS LIKE A MARRIAGE; IF ITS STEERED STRAIGHT THE MARRRIAGE IS FULL OF COMPROMISE, AND PARTNERS CAN MOVE FORWARD; BUT IF THE CANOOISTS ARE GOING AROUND AND AROUND, THEN THE RELATIONSIP, IS TOO., THEN WE SEE CASKETT TURNING AROUND AND AROUND ON THE MATTRESS . . .. ;
CASKETT SEE LARGE METAL BOX ON FLOOR, AND TRY TO OPEN IT, AND EVENTUALLY DO BY WORKING TOGETHER;
THEY THEN WORK TOGETHER TO BREAK THROUGH A HOLE IN A WALL, ONLY TO ENCOUNTER A HUNGRY TIGER;
CASKETT ARE EVENTUALLY FOUND AND RESCUED BUY ESPO, RYAN AND GATES;
RICK TELLS KATE HE WOULD MIND BEING 'HITCHED' ER CUFFED TO KATE AGAIN. RICK COULDNT BACK PEDDLE FAST ENOUGH.
KATE THEN REPLIED THAT SHE WOULDNT MIND BEING CUFFED TO HIM AGAIN EITHER -- BUT NEXT TIME WITHOUT THE TIGER., AND SMIRKED/GRINNED.
RICK QUERIED/REPEATED THE 'NEXT TIME??' AND SMIRKED.
CASKETT FANS LOVED ALL THE INNUENDOES, ESPECIALLY THE 'NEXT TIME' LINE. THIS EP FED QUITE A LOT OF CASKETT FANS.

Rick is shocked and questions her with 'ALL???'
Kate 'Seriously!!- You Sign women's chests at book readings, -- you Cannot be Shocked that Im Not a virgin!!'
Rick 'Its just the word 'ALL' suggests a lot. How many are we talking Exactly??'
Kate 'Are you Really asking for my number???. Men!! You All want to know -- but you dont want to know. Listen; every woman has her secrets, including Jenny, and sometimes for the sake of a relationship, it is better Not to share'
Later at Ryan and Jennys wedding, Kate spots Rick and suggests they be each others plus 1.
Rick 'Yeah and then avoid the stigma of sitting at the singles table -- and yes, that would be nice'. He then sees Jenny, then Ryan, and says 'Ive gotta say, I kinda envy him'.
Kate 'Oh I dont know Castle, maybe third times the charm!'
Rick 'Yeah. could be. Shall we??' (ie go find a seat. Kate puts arm through Rick's AS THEY WALK DOWN THE AISLE TO FIND A SEAT.

DIAL M FOR MAYOR
AM INCLUDING THIS BECAUSE OF A VERY IMPORTANT LINE THAT SHOWED SO MUCH;
RICK'S FRIEND, THE MAYOR IS IN TROUBLE. AFTER KATE AND RICK VISITED THE MAYOR, KATE CALLED RICK, 'RICK', SERIOUSLY. THE MERE FACT THAT KATE CALLED RICK BY HIS GIVEN NAME, AND NOT HIS SURNAME, AS SHE USUALLY DOES, IT SHOWED THAT KATE LIKES HIM.
ENCAPSULATING -DEFINING HOOK IS KATE CALLING RICK 'RICK', AND NOT CASTLE. THE MAYOR IS THE REASON WHY RICK IS CONSULTING WITH KATE/12TH PRECINCT. THE FACT THAT KATE CALLED RICK 'RICK' EXCITED FANS AS FANS KNEW IT MEANT/SHOWED THAT KATE LIKES RICK, AND IS NOW SHOWING IT.

AN EMBARASSMENT OF BITCHES - ROYAL THE DRUG SNIFFING CUSTOMS DOG . . . .
After Royal's trainer/owner is murdered, Caskett have shared custody of Royal. He spends the first part with Rick, and the second part with Kate;
Rick arrives; Kate 'Castle you're supposed to be here over an Hour ago! Its called 'Shared custody not 'Show Up When You Want' Custody'
Rick thought he had all he needed, but at last minute realised he didnt have Royals squeaky toy. So he have him a steak that they worked off. Royal also snuggles.
Kate 'I bet you let him sit on your couch too??? No its ok - You can be the Fun one and I'll just be the Bad guy, and theres No Way you (Royal) are shedding all over my couch!!'
Rick 'Oh he's perfectly happy right there (on the floor), and he loves it when you rub him right between the eyes (Rick demonstrates on Kates hand, palm down, using thumb to caress Kates hand by caressing circles - and Kate is moved by sensations. She can barely breathe. Rick watches Kate for a few seconds).
Kate suddenly says 'Castle!!'
Rick stops, saying, 'Yeah - you Get it. You guys have fun - dont miss me too much -- the dog'(Rick is now talking to the dog - but also Kate . . .), and now walks out the door.
Kate now walks to couch, sits down, Royal watching her every move. She picks up the squeaky toy, telling Royal to come up on the couch. He races to her and jumps up and licks her face. Kate saying 'You are S O Cute!!!' We all knew she was also talking about Rick.
At precinct, they learn that Royal is a Customs Drug Sniffing dog. He starts pawing at the floor, which is a sign for drugs.
Rick asks Kate if she is wearing perfume, to which she denies. Rick then says ; 'And for future reference, Im partial to 'Fracow' (Rick then smirks).
Kate looks unimpressed and says 'Dont flatter yourself ok!!'
The killer of Royals owner/trainer, was wearing heroin based perfume.
ENCAPSULATING- DEFINING HOOKS; CASKETT SHARE CUSTODY OF ROYAL THE CUSTOMS DRUG SNIFFING DOG . . . . .IE ALA CHILD CUSTODY . . . .;
KATE CALLS ROYAL 'S O CUTE', BUT WE ALL KNEW SHE ALSO MEANT RICK;
RICK DEMONSTRATES TO KATE HOW ROYAL LIKES TO BE RUBBED BETWEEN THE EYES, AND SO SHOWS KATE BY CARESSING HER HAND, PALM UP. kATE CAN BARELY BREATHE, BEFORE SHE STOPS RICK.
RICK TELLS ROYAL NOT TO MISS HIM TOO MUCH, BUT HE ALSO MEANT KATE AS WELL . . . .(WHICH WE ALL ALSO KNEW);
RICK ADVISES KATE THAT HE LIKES 'FRACOW' PERFUME . . . . FOR FUTURE REFERENCE . . . . .
THIS EP WAS CHOCK FULL OF DOUBLE MEANING LINES, BUT CLEAN ONES, SHOWING THE ATTRACTION OF CASKETT IS VERY STRONG, AND THE DIALOGUE WAS MEANT TO EXCITE CASKETT FANS THAT SOMETHING DEFINITE WOULD SOON HAPPEN., SO STILL KEEP WATCHING.

This may be the wrong place to post so, sorry Syd!
Temple - your post of July 20th which shows Jim & Kate at a diner always threw me. As in why didn't her dad go to her apartment or Kate to his? Why meet somewhere so impersonal as a diner? It made me wonder if Jim had re-married and Kate and his new wife didn't get on. Which of course leads me, at least, into the "...if only" territory of knowing more about Jim Beckett.

Wondering if the diner represented a safe neutral space that they had got into the habit of using through the highs and lows of his alcoholism? Perhaps it was close to his work? But as always there are more questions than answers sadly. Why didn't we hear Jim Beckett speak at his daughters wedding? Why was he seen drinking champagne? There was the one time use of the Old Haunt which surprised me too. Always thought that was a place that could have been written into scenes more over the journey. It was mentioned but never seen again. If only indeed!

One of the great writing misses in developing Kate Beckett was the rare use of her father. Castle of course had the loft and his family that gave his character a different dimension. But what did Kate Beckett have except for her work? We never saw her out with Lanie. We never saw her in any other pursuit such as her famed Harley Softail. It took eight seasons to sight the motor bike and even then it was pretty much all about how Castle had it restored and bought his own. Yet one of the endearing scenes was of course with her old high school friend Maddie. Perhaps these actors weren't available to bring back into the stories? Who knows but the writing was the poorer for their loss imo.

Latte - Liked your thoughts about the diner. And indeed why was Jim seen drinking champagne. Did the writers actually forget that he had an alcohol problem? And I agree about The Old Haunt. I always thought it was a good place to have a New Year Celebration. To see not just the team but everyone outside of the precinct having a good time. Another "Still" episode if they didn't have the money for everyone that would be involved.

47 SECONDS
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOKS. THIS EP WHILE NOT CASKETT, IS KATE AND LANIE, AND IS STILL VERY MUCH PERTINENT.
Kate tells Lanie that things between her and Rick have changed, like he's pulling away.
Lanie 'Well What do you Expect?? He's probably Tired of Waiting'
Kate 'Waiting for WHAT??'
Lanie 'What do you Think?? the guy is Crazy about You!! and despite you're little act, You're Crazy about Him!!
Kates and Lanie's expression change while both take in whats just been said/stated.
Lanie continues 'Oh whats That Supposed to be like some Big Secret??'
Kate 'Yes!!! . . . . . - - - --NO!!! ---Do you THINK H E K n o w s???'
Lanie continues 'He used to seen with a woman on either arm. You dont See it anymore. Why do you This is??? He's WAITING ---- For Y O U!!!'
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOK -- LANIE HAS TOLD KATE A FEW HOME TRUTHS; RICK IS CRAZY IN LOVE WITH HER; AND SHE HIM, THAT ONE DOSNT SEE HIM WITH WOMEN ON EITHER ARM, BECAUSE HE IS WAITING FOR KATE (TO DECLARE HER LOVE FOR HIM).
IE FOR CASKETT TO BE A COUPLE, IT IS INITIALLY UP TO KATE.
THE FANS ARE NOW GIVEN A MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND PROMISING ENCAPSULATING DEFINING HOOK RE THE POSSIBILITY OF CASKETT BECOMING A COUPLE., IE KEEP WATCHING.

Latte - mentioning Kate's Harley, I was thought they could have done a case where Kate & Espo went undercover as bikers. Ryan would have been their contact and Rick worried about Kate's safety would have gone to their location in the Ferrari on the pretext of "research" for his next book and discovers that the bikers were fans!!

ENCAPSULATING -DEFINING HOOKS
A L W A Y S
After going rogue and almost dying by being flung over roof of a building, and rescued by Ryan, and being suspended by Captain Gates, then deciding to resign, and then sitting on the swings in pouring/torrential rain, re her fight with Rick,
she goes to the loft, and Rick opens the door, saying 'Beckett what do you want??'
Kate, who's looking bedraggled and soaked, says 'Y o u !!'. She then rushes inside and kisses Rick passionately, saying 'Im So Sorry!!, Im So Sorry!! Castle, Im So Sorry!!'
Rick pulls away asking 'what happened?'
Kate 'He got Away --(the man who tried to kill her), and I Didnt Care. I a l m o s t D i e d, and All I could think about was Y o u!. I just w a n t Y o u!!. Kate attempts to kiss Rick again, then Rick kisses Kate by the door, then Kate takes Rick's hand and leads him to his bedroom.
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOKS; KATE APOLOGISING TO RICK 3 TIMES FOR HER BEHAVIOUR, AND FOR THEIR RECENT FIGHT RE HER GOING ROGUE, AND FOR NOT GIVING HIM A CHANCE;
KATE KISSING RICK AT THE LOFT, THEN RICK KISSING KATE, THEN KATE LEADING HIM TO HIS BEDROOM.
CASKETT FANS ARE NOW ECSTATIC RE THE LAST FEW MINUTES. BUT IS THIS A ONE NIGHT STAND STAND, OR SOMETHING MORE HOPEFUL, WILL THEY BECOME A COUPLE?? STAY WATCHING.
OF FURTHER NOTE, IS THAT THE LAST FEW MINUTES OF THIS EP BECAME ONE OF THE (IF NOT THE) MOST VIEWED SCENES OF CASTLES ENTIRE RUN, AD PROBABLY STILL . . . . DOWN TO YOUTUBE AND DVD'S.

A F T E R T H E S T O R M
After their first night together, Rick wakes up alone. Then suddenly Kate wanders into his room wearing his shirt and carrying two cups of coffee. She sits on his bed.
Rick says 'You were right -- I had N O idea!!'

Kate and Rick both agree that their night together isnt a one-off, and they are now a couple. A secret couple, and will go out of their way to remain a secret to all., especially the boys, and Captain Gates., and of course Martha and Alexis.

AFTER THE STORM
After their first night together, Rick wakes up alone, and wonders if it was a dream. Kate then wanders into his room wearing just his shirt, and carrying two mugs of coffee, and sits on the bed.
Rick 'So it wasnt a dream???'
Kate 'No It wasnt a dream'
Rick 'You were right -- I had N O idea!!!'
(this refers to the last scene of the Pilot in which Rick hoped for more time with Kate, but she whispered in his ear 'You have N O idea!!', re how theyd be).
Kate and Rick both agree that their night together wont be the last, and they are now a couple, a secret couple, and dont want anyone to find out about them, especially the boys, and Captain Gates, and Martha and Alexis.
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOK; CASKETT ARE NOW OFFICIALLY A SECRET COUPLE, AND THE FANS ARE ECSTATIC, AS ITS SOMETHING THE FANS HAVE WANTED/CLAMOURED FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING.
AFTER THE STORM IE SEASON 5 EP 1, IS ALSO THE NEXT EP TO BE THE MOST VIEWED EP VIA YOUTUBE, THEN WHEN THE SEASON FINISHED, MOST FANS BOUGHT THE DVD.

CLOUDY WITH A TOUCH OF MURDER
Kates first day back at work after her suspension of 3? months. She and Rick have been making up for lost time . . . . .
Kate tells him that in public she is single. . . . . . . .
Kate is sprung at the crime scene by Lanie who asks her if she's changed her hair, Kate says no, Lanie can tell that something has changed, but what.
During autopsy, Lanie is direct. 'I know whats changed! --- You're having sex!!!. So who's the guy???'
Kate stunned by the direct question says nothing.
Rick quickly jumps in with 'Yeah, who's the guy??', a little too casually.
Kate 'Nobody. Nobody you'd know ok.'
Rick 'I know a lot of guys'
Kate 'Im sure'. Still says nothing.
The tv sports reporter tells Kate and Rick that with an office romance, its very hard to keep it secret.
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOK ; KATE AND RICK ARE CATCHING UP ON LOST TIME, AND ARE STILL ENJOYING THEIR ROMANCE, SO THEIR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER, WASNT A ONE OFF.
FANS ARE DEFINATELY EXCITED THAT CASKETT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED AFTER WAITING FOR 5 YEARS FOR IT.
LANIE IS INQUISITIVE OF JUST WHO THE NEW BOYFRIEND IS.

Totally agree with Sandraxf's comments ie Castle will always be our fave love story Crime Dramedy procedural of all time. Many thanks for all the gifs too. Ahh, the memories. So its been 11 years that Castle went to Series.

ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOK LINES
SECRETS SAFE WITH ME
(NB. :THIS IS BOTH A DEFINING - HOOK LINE AND SCENE, BUT WILL PLACE IT HERE)
Kate is determined that no one discovers that she ad Rick are an unofficial couple. At work she goes to get them both coffees (the first time ever she has gotten them). While Kate is getting the coffees, her work phone rings. Rick answers it. Its Lanie ringing to give some case info to Kate. Lanie questions why Rick is answering Kates phone, then tells him to write down the info. Rick searches through Kates desk drawer for paper and pen, comes across Kates man stick figure, then Kate returns with coffees, and catches him with stick figure...
Rick 'I was looking for a pen and paper'
Kate 'Sure you were! Stay out of my stuff Castle!'
Rick 'Your stuff??? ---May I remind you that Ive Already Seen your 'Stuff!'
Kate 'Yeah, well Some of it is Still Private!!'.
Later, being the day that Rick needs to be home early to have an early night before driving Alex to college the next morning, he needs to leave the precinct early., ie saying goodbye to Kate early. . . . .
Rick 'I So want to kiss you right now'
Kate 'I know'
Rick puts his hand outwards towards Kate and looks at her, she looks at his hand, then at him. She joins her hand to his, handshake way.
Rick then starts caresssing Kates hand, similar to how he did re Royal the Customs drug sniffing dog. 'This is me, slowly stroking your face, pulling you in for a long slow kiss'
Kate caresses his hand near his index finger, saying, 'This is me, kissing you back, slowly running my hands through your hair'.
Rick 'Best handshake Ever!!'.
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOK LINES; RICK AND KATES STUFF;
RICK WANTING TO KISS KATE AT WORK, BUT CANT, SO DEVISES THE HANDSHAKE TO BE THEM KISSING.
THE BEST HANDSHAKE EVER!! (DIALOGUE), THAT CAUSED KATE TO BE BREATHLESS AND UNABLE TO MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS.
FANS ARE ECSTATIC THAT CASKETT IS GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH AND DIALOGUE GETTING RISQUE.
SCENE WISE; THE BEST HANDSHAKE EVER WAS A HOT SCENE TO WATCH, AND STILL IS VIA DVD/YOUTUBE.

M U R D E R H E W R O T E
I WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE SONG BEING PLAYED AS CASKETT ARE DRIVING TO THE HAMPTONS. THE WORDS ARE BASICALLY SAYING THE SINGER WANTS TO BE IN THE ARMS, AND TO BELONG TO THEM.
Caskett have arranged to have their weekend at the Hamptons, for peace and quiet and . . . . . But as far as the boys are aware, its just Kate and her boyfriend going away for the weekend, and Rick is going to the Hamptons.. . . . The boys want to know who the mystery boyfriend is.
Rick gives Kate a tour of his beachside home, and Kate is wary. Rick asks what is wrong.
Kate 'I really cant help but wonder how many other girls have gotten this tour?'
Rick 'well Im not going to deny that Ive brought other women here, but ah, N o n e of them were Y O U!', making Kate grin.
By the pool, Kate disrobes, revealing nothing underneath. Suddenly a man stumbles from nowhere and collapses dead in the pool. Rick calls the local police, and the Police Chief mistakingly assumes that Kate is a prostitute. . . .who likes watching police shows . . . . .
Police Chief Brady; 'Is there anything else you'd like to add to Mr Castles statement, madam, -- mam?'
Kate 'Yes!! Only that we didnt hear any gunshots -- so that probably means the killer used a silencer'
Chief Brady; 'Watch a lot of cop shows do we???'
Kate gets annoyed.
Later Rick and Kate are covertly investigating at the local bar, and Rick gets them arrested for interfering, and they are put in lockup, while the Chief makes enquiries.
while in lockup, Rick comes up with their couple name; Caskett. ie the coffin thing etc.
Police Chief Brady embarrasingly discovers that Kate is actually a Homicide Detective from the city., and asks for her/their help in solving the case, to which Rick agrees to.
Rick decides to get Espo and Ryans help from the Precinct. The boys have discovered that Kate has a new secret boyfriend, and want to know who it is, and so they ask Lanie, who dosnt know. Rick and Kate interview Hampton residents/weekenders, and Espo and Ryan do the same at the Precinct.
One of the most hilarious scenes of te ep, and the entire season, and the show, is when Ryan by accident discovers that Rick is Kates boyfriend.
Case is eventually solved, and Kate wants credit for helping to solve it, re Rick's next book.
Rick 'We'll talk'.
(There never was a Hamptons murder book).
ENCAPSULATING - DEFINING HOOKS; THE SONG BEING PLAYED AS CASKETT DROVE TO HAMPTONS; I JUST WANT TO BE IN YOUR ARMS AND TO BELONG TO YOU;
RICK TELLING KATE THAT NONE OF THE PREVIOUS WOMEN HE BROUGHT TO HAMPTONS WERE HER;
RICK CREATES THEIR COUPLE NAME IE CASKETT IE THE WHOLE COFFIN THING.

It almost seems a 'lifetime' ago that the ep Countdown, was on at 8 years, and it dosnt seem possible that it is a whole 5 years since Belly of the Beast was on. That shot above of Kate in In the Belly of the Beast is similar to that of Emily Byrne in Absentia, especially the 1st Season.
