More of a least favourite writing of Rick Castle moment-well let's be honest there were more than one.... But while all the attention in S8 was about writing a crazy Beckett the lack of spotlight on how Castle yet again kept a secret from Kate and broke a promise. Sorry, for rehashing an old post. This way of writing Rick Castle - everything Rick did that was not cosher was presented as his 'cute roguishness' - was consistent through all the seasons. The viewers were supposed to take it easy on Rick. I for one didn't buy it. Beckett was another thing. Her (wrong)doings were used for drama and propelling the story forward. Last two seasons only made it more obvious because the producers were changing the tone and emphasis of the show. By doing that they lost the believability. But that's me. Grrr. That smirk by Castle peeved me off in this scene. Yet again, his character is 'allowed' to do reckless things with impunity. This is the same smirk that we got at the end of "Cloudy with a chance of Murder". When Beckett is rightly angry at his pathetic performance with the TV weather presenter. It just really old that Castle was able to lie and deceive anytime without consequence but Beckett was pulled over the coals for any lie she made. Remember the whole silly premise of S7 was actually that Castle had willingly agreed to let his fiancee and family think he was probably dead for three months while he indulged in a 'Boys Own' adventure. All the time investigating Loksat (Joanna's murder), without ever revealing this to Beckett. They sure increased the bubble wrap around the Castle character as the seasons went by.......

Outside of 2 scenes in Private Eye Caramba! which were done with Fillion and Katic on set at the same time, you can flush seasons 7 and 8.

Just an added comment about the Castle smirk -- it's Nathan's smirk. It shows up on his posts, in interviews, at Con appearances, and in just about every acting job I've seen of his. In short, he plays himself more often than not and the bubble wrap is around him in RL as it is around so many "good ole" boys in HW and throughout society.

Syd - I applaud you for writing these episodes and I also find it interesting that there is a lack of least favorite in comparison to favorite scenes/episodes. To me that says Castle got more things right that made us watch but then of course we had the final episode of S6. Sorry even now I cannot number it let alone name it!

B :-) KB Many many thanks for this post of yours, and it is most appreciated. Yes there are a lack of Least Fave eps so far, but......that changes with season 7. ep 4 Childs Play is a case in point. Having said that, yes Castle did get more things right. As for me, even today I find it hard to say/type the season 6 finale. I do know it, but I prefer to ignore it. But I will for the heck of it. The season 6 finale ep, ie was 'For Better or Worse', and it certainly was, because the aborted wedding almost shut the show down. I think the number of ep was 23. Either that, or 24.

MEME IS MURDER
(Case is internet starlet is murdered). The only good part of this ep is about the dangers of bloggging, and being careful about what posts online re instagram, facebook and twitter and being careful in life in general.
DETRACT No good romantic Caskett scenes.

One of the most interesting/challenging issues post aborted wedding of season 6 finale, and the eventual wedding of season 7, was that during the start of season 5.......there were 10 straight romantic Caskett episodes, ala After the Storm, Cloudy with a Touch of Murder, Secrets Safe with Me, infamous Murder He Wrote, Probable Cause, The Final Frontier, Swan song, After Hours, Secret Santa, and Significant others.
Even Season 4 had a few brilliant Pre Caskett eps ie they wernt a couple, but acted like they were. After a shaky start, there was Rise, then Eye of the Beholder,infamous Cops and Robbers, Killshot, Cuffed, Till Death Do Us Part, and then infamous ...last scene of Always.....
Yet from the actual wedding of season 7, there were quite a few eps/scenes that didnt contain romantic Caskett scenes., and Kill Switch is one of them. It was focused on Espo., with virtuallly nil Caskett romance at all.

KILL SWITCH
The very next episode to the honeymoon ep, and there is very little romantic Caskett scenes....... The ep features Espo on a train about to arrest a man, who ends up being a terrorist wearing a bomb vest.

Rick scene with mob boss and his daughter...;
Captain Gates informs Rick that due to his involvement/helping out the mob boss, that the DA has spoke with the Mayor, and Rick is no longer able to consult with the 12th Precinct...

CASTLE, P.I...... (written by Rob Hanning...)
Unbeknownst to Kate, Rick has beeen doing an online PI course, and passed and is now certified..... and turns up at crime scene of murdered Pre School Admissions Director. Kate is taken aback that Rick is now a PI. and has decided to work case on his own.
(Kate learns that Rick has a PI office, and in her search investigation, she inadvertently finds it, and also finds Rick there.)
(At 12th, Espo and Ryan tell Kate she'll never live it down if Rick solves case before she does....)
Moot point but still interesting.....why is it that we get great romantic Caskett scenes during PI stint, but we dont get them in quite a few other eps??? PTB were still using HOOK scenes to keep viewers watching....and in these PI arc eps, we got quite a few romantic Casksett scenes......
DETRACT Rick asks Kate if she minds that he continues being a PI for a bit longer......and she gives him two gifts; a PI Sam Spade cap, and a 20th Century embossed magnifying glass in red velvet case.........
So......we the viewers/fans were being asked to keep watching (put up with) the PI stint for a little bit......which like the DC arc....contained only 3 eps......We didnt like the PI arc as Caskett were separated professionally from working together, and we the fans said we didnt like it.

Just watched "Belly of the Beast" again. Wow. So good. To bad the writing on Absentia was not as consistent as this episode. Stana is just fantastic. just out of curiosity JNorton, why is the Belly Beast ep one of your Least Fave eps? Watching Kate in a bad situation wasnt good, but,.....Stana's acting Was brilliant. To me, its a forerunner to Absentia re the twists and turns and the horror of the situation Kate was in. Stana was outstanding. And according to the Commentry for same ep, Bowman ran to the main office to compliment the writer.

RECKONING; NUMBER 30 ON STFD'S LIST OF TOP EPS SINCE PILOT TO 2015. RECEIVED 11 VOTES.
THE RETURN OF 3XK - JERRY TYSON NOW IS FOOLING ALL (BAR RICK KATE AND BOYS) INTO BELIEVING HE IS NOW MICHAEL BOUDREAU.
FOR ME, THE ONLY GOOD SCENES ARE WHEN ESPO SNIPERS HIM DEAD, KATE KILLS HER KIDNAPPER, EQUALLY EVIL AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, DR KELLY NIEMAN, AND SHE IS FOUND BY RICK, AND RETURNS TO PRECINCT, STILL OBVIOUSLY SHAKY.
I ALSO DONT KNOW IF THIS IS MORE AN EP OR A LEAST FAVE SCENES, AS THERES MORE OF LEAST FAVE SCENES THAN ANYTHING.
I THINK THE ONLY REASON WHY THIS EP WAS NUMBER 30 OUT OF THE 32 TOP EPS IS BECAUSE OF THE LAST PART OF IT.
(......'PREVIOUSLY ON 'CASTLE'; ......)
Ryan and Espo pull up in street to kerb, lights flashing.
Espo 'You sure this is where she said she was going??'
Rick 'Yeah, yeah,yeah, 9th and Jay'
Ryan 'Tori said she cant get a trace on Becketts phone. Says its either been turned off or disabled'
Rick 'There. Theres her car'
They rush forward, but the car is empty. Light shines through the back window, Rick sees theres a message; 'Help Her!'
Rick reads/says the message. 'They want us to know they have her'
Espo 'Damn it!!'
Ryan 'Lets get CSU down here'
Espo 'I want every available unit canvassing, everyone questioned. ---- Castle?'
Rick 'Its Him. Boudreau/Tyson, whatever he's calling himself. Its him and its Nieman'
Ryan 'But they were in the precinct with us'
Rick 'giving them the perfect alibi. we need to find Boudreau and Nieman'
MICHAEL BOUDREAU'S APARTMENT;
Ryan bangs on the door. 'Mr Boudreau!! Open the door !!!'
Tyson opens the door. He looks at them warily.
Ryan 'Mr Boudreau, shortly after leaving to meet with your friend, Amy Barrett, one of our Detectives went missing'
Tyson 'So???'
Rick 'So where Is she???'
Tyson 'I dont know. Ive been in police custody until an hour ago'
Rick 'Giving you the perfect alibi'
Tyson 'I dont have an alibi because I didnt do anything wrong'
He tries to shut the door on them, but Rick catches it.
Rick 'Then why wont you let us in???' Rick stares at him.
Tyson/Boudreau 'Fine'
Rick pushes past, calling 'Beckett!!??' .....'Beckett!!??'
Tyson 'Come on man, nobodys here. Its just me'
Rick 'What'd you do with her, huh, Tyson??? Where are you keeping her???'
Tyson (adamantly) 'Im Not keeping her Anywhere., and Im Not Jerrry Tyson'
More tomorrow.
NB; --- THE FILMING OF THIS EP IS WHEN STANA WON HER 3RD PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD, AND WHY SHE WAS MISSING FOR MOST OF EP. SHE AS KATE APPEARED IN ABOUT 4-5 SCENES ONLY.

PART 2. (MANY APOLOGIES FOR THIS NEXT INSTALLMENT BEING SO LATE)
Rick makes a run for Tyson, Ryan catches Rick before he can touch Tyson, holding him back.
Tyson 'No, no. Come on, man. You cant do this!! You cant just come in here and threaten me!'
Rick 'I know its you!! I Know its you.'
ryan pushes Rick out the apartment and up against the wall of the hallway. Tyson locks them out.
Ryan 'Youre not helping her. Not like that' c rick 'so what, we just elt him kill her??'
ryan 'No! But Castle, we cant do anything if we dont have anything'
Rick 'Its Him, Kevin. Its Tyson'
Ryan 'We need to Prove it. We'll put units on him. Put him under the microscope. If its him he wont be able to make a move without us knowing it. We'll find her'
Ricks phone buzzes. Its 'Kate' 'Castle can you hear me??'
Rick 'Beckett!!'
Kate 'Please, Castle, I Need your Help!'
Rick 'where Are you??'
Kate 'Oh God, Castle!! Please!! You Have to Help me!! Castle!! Help me!!

3XK aka Tyson, continues to torment Rick by planting (or arranging for) an audio tape of Kate's voice with the prior message on it.
Rick 'She was Never here!!'
Ryan ' He's playing us'
Espo 'He's probably watching us right now!. (Into his walkie talkie) I need a chopper!! I need search teams on every roof. Lets Go!!'
Ryan 'I dont understand. If this is a recording, when did they get her to say this??'
Tori 'They didnt. The recording was manufactured. Digitally spliced from what appeared to be several sources'
Rick 'What sources??'
Tori 'This for one (Kate on video); 'Please, if you have any information on the disappearance of Richard Castle, I need your help!'
Tori ' And heres the recording;'Castle can you hear me?? Please!! I need your help!!'
Ryan 'this was Planned. theyve been preparing this for months'
Tori 'It looks that way'
Ryan 'This was about Beckett'
Rick 'No. that interview? That was meant as a message t me. He wants me to suffer'
Captain gates 'Why?? Why is Tyson So fixated on you??. If he's directing this at you, he may try to communicate. We should put a trap and trace on your phones'
Rick 'Captain, he's already communicating. He's out there sitting in Boudreau's apartment, and he knows where she is'
Gates 'And we cant touch him till we have proof'
rick 'By then she'll be dead!! Please, captain, this is ---she's my Wife!!'
Gates 'Mr Castle, I know youre hurting. We all are. But we have to keep our wits about us. We have to work the evidence. Its the only way we can get her back.'
More tomorrow.

Ryan 'She must have drugged'
Gates 'did they see who was with her??'
Espo 'No, ad the person pushing the wheelchair was wearing a hoodie'
Rick 'what about a license plate??'
Espo 'No'
Gates 'But thats a start. get teams scrubbing all street cam footage from blocks nearby. Find that van. We are going to get her back'
BOUDREAU'S/TYSONS APARTMENT;
Rick bangs on door, it is answered. Rick 'Where is she??? Is she alive???'
tyson 'I told you. I dont know'
Rick 'why'd you Do it, Tyson?? for revenge? Because we were happy??'
Tyson 'Youve got the wrong man'
Rick 'The hell I dnt. Where Is she???'
Rick throws Tyson across the room. He crashes into a bookcase.
Rick 'You Planned thus. You and Niemann. But it Ends Tonight'
Tyson 'Go to hell'
Rick pulls out a gun and points it at Tyson. 'Where I s S h e ???'

SWAT team arrives and arrest Rick.
12TH PRECINCT;
Tyson gives statement to Captain Gates and Ryan. Rick just sits stony faced, surrounded by Espo, LT, and others.
Espo 'Come on Castle. Assault with a deadly weapon??? Do you have Any idea what this does to the investigation?? You dont think I Wanted to go over there and beat the hell out of him?? And Niemann?? Thats Not going to her back'
Ryan 'He's pressing charges. We're going to have to book you'
That shocks Rick out of his stupor.
Rick 'Me????' 'what about H i m ???'
Ryan 'We dont have anything to hold him on'
Rick gapes as Tyson gets up. As he's leaving, he gives Rick a smug look.
HOLDING AREA;
Rick is cuffed and fingerprinted and given a cloth to wipe his fingers.
Gates 'Youre never ever going to win, going straight at him. If he thought there was a chance of that, then he wouldnt have stayed in the apartment'
Gates uncuffs Rick.
Rick 'anything on the van?'
Gates 'No, not yet'
Rick sighs.
Gates 'You know, when I first got here, I couldnt understand what Beckett saw in you. But you know what she said? 'He sees the story. I see the evidence, where it leads, but he sees the story'. That man (Tyson) got inside your head and you let him. You want to help her?? youve gotta get inside His. Whats His story?? Whats his next move going to be? Now you figure that out and we'll find her'
Ryan interrupts ; 'Its Boudreau/Tyson. ; On the way back to his apartment, he bolted on the subway platform. Jumped down the tracks. Our guys tried to follow him, but they lost him'

Espo 'Captain, I just sent teams to Kelly Niemanns apartment to check on her. She's gone'
Gates 'How can she be gone!!!??? We've been on her place the whole time'
Espo 'They found an access door to the roof open. She must have gone out of it and climbed across the roof to another building'
Ricks phone rings. Rick 'Hello?'
Tyson on the phone. 'How did it feel to be That close???'
Rick bangs a room divider to get their attention., and says 'Tyson'.
Gates 'Trace. Go!'
Ryan 'Yeah'
Tyson 'You know what part I liked best??; The pain in your eyes. The suffering. And all that fear, knowing that I have her'

Ryan and Espo are first through the (main) door, they re followed by a few uniforms, then Rick. They are on high alert. They suddenly hear a scream and Rick is fearful. Its Martha, in the kitchen.
Rick 'Where's Alexis???'
they then hear a scream from the upstairs, Rick rushes up, but Alexis is on her way down.
Alexis 'Dad, What the H e l l ???'
Tyson is not in the loft.
NEXT SCENE; Martha and Alexis have luggage.
Rick ''You have your passports?'

Martha 'Okay'
Alexis leans in for a hug. 'Dad, Please be careful'
Rick 'I love you'
Martha 'Bye'
12TH PRECINCT;
Ryan 'We've just heard from tech. No evidence of anyone tampering with your phone. They think Tyson must have figured out a way to spoof ((?????)) your number from the outside'
Rick 'Inside, outside; it dosnt matter. He wants me to know he can get to me anytime'
Ryan 'Im sorry. I had him. The night at the motel. If I couldve found a way to move a little faster, react a little sooner'

*******W A R N I N G ********** W A R N I N G****** JUST REMINDING PEOPLE THAT SCENES IN THIS PORTION ARE BRUTAL. I REMEMBER BEING SHOCKED WHEN I FIRST SAW THE EP BROADCAST.
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
ESU OFFICER 1 'Ive got something. Third Floor'
He catches sight of a silhouette of a woman that looks like Kate, through a window.
ESU Officer 1 'Its Her!!'
ESU Oficer 2 ' We have a positive ID. Third Floor. North east corner'
Espo 'How many others?'
ESU Officer 2 'Unknown. We dont have a visual'
Espo (to Rick) 'all right, stay behind us. If he's in there, he's going to be gunning for you first'
An ESU Officer threads a camera under the door. They see a woman tied to a chair in the middle of the room. He gestures to his colleague. The other man kicks the door in. They storm in.
Kate 'Castle, wait! Get back!! Its a Trap!!'
They have no time before there is a gunshot. Another shot. They duck, but they watch as the bullets hit the woman tied to the chair. Its fast and brutal and they watch blood fly. It quiets, and the woman in the chair is slumped over.
Rick 'BECKETT!!! N O!!!!'
Ryan and Espo try to hold Rick back. He breaks through their hold, rushing forward. He drops to his knees in front of the chair.
Rick 'God'
He grabs her hand and takes notice of his wedding ring on her finger. His voice cracks as the tears start. Rick 'Kate, Im so sorry. Im so -'
Ryan and Espo stay back. Theyre both giving him space and checking out the gun rig to make sure its not going to go off again.
Rick 'Im so ---Im sorry'
He grabs her face, tipping it up so he can see, but, as he does, he realises that it Isnt Kate!!!. The woman un the chair isnt even a brunette. Its a wig.
Rick 'Its Not Her!!! Its Not Her!!!'
More tomorrow.

Marcus 'You put me in here'

Rick has gone to a property that Marcus told about. He finds the latest female victim being used by 3XK and Dr Nieman outside the property. He ties her hands, gags her mouth and puts her into his car boot. Then he goes to find a way inside the property.

Kate!! lies on a gurney, tied down and mouth taped. Dr Kelly Nieman there for few seconds before leaving (momentarily). Kate has woken up. She tries to work out if there is a way to free herself, so moves slowly. Nieman returns.
Nieman 'Despite the situation, I want you to know I admire you. I always have'. Nieman strokes Kates face. Kate tries to jerk back.
Nieman 'Theres no good in resisting, Detective. In fact, if you accept that, I can remove the gag'
Kate is cautious, and uneasy, but she nods.
Nieman 'Good. And Please Dont scream. Its tedious. And no one can hear you'. She then pulls the gag down. Kate still shies away from her touch.
Nieman 'Much better. Its a crime to cover up such a lovely face'
Kate 'Kidnapping, murder are crimes. You can still save yourself'
Nieman 'Ive already been saved'. She lifts the table Kate is strapped to, and into a beam of green light. The green light is a grid, which she positions along Kates face.
Nieman 'I used to be ashamed of who I was inside. the things I dreamt about doing. And then I met Jerry, and it was like...coming home. so if you think that I would ever turn on him, you dont understand me at all'
Kate 'what do yiu think he's going to do to you when youre no longer useful to him??? He will kill you'
Nieman scoffs.
Kate 'I am your only chance. I can help you'
Nieman 'And you're going to'
Nieman takes a device and starts to scan Kates face.
Kate 'what are you doing??'
Nieman 'with all the police attention, I'll need a new face'
Kate watches as the contours of her face appear on a monitor across from them. Its not perfect, but its recognisable as Kate.
Nieman 'And Ive chosen Yours'
Kates eyes widen. Nieman continues to stroke Kates face.
Kate 'No!! No!! (she jerks away). No!! P l e a s e No!!!'
Nieman 'alright, this is going back on'
Kate 'Please, No!!'
Kate screams as Nieman pulls the gag back up.
Nieman 'Shhhh'
More tomorrow.
