"Quite confusing me with your logic" - or words to that effect, had me in stitches last night, when Alexis needled Castle about his jealously about Alex seeing Beckett (Does Brandon Hines' appearance mean Lie To Me is done?)n IF anything, the jealousy turned Castle in to "Super Castle!" - practically solving the case single-handed, with props to the always-overacheiving pair of Ryan and Esposito. Stana Katic did some wonderfully subtle acting in this ep, showing the spectrum of her feelings for Castle, the pleasure she gets from torturing him, the clear affection and respect (he did, after all, save the city without any superpowers) and her acceptance that they are an exclusive pair. It seems clear (at least I hope it seems clear) that when the two finally do 'come to terms' they will be treated like actual adults and not derailed by some other plot-device or complication. There are plenty of real complications that can be played out on this show. A fun episode!

My cousin once left his car keys locked inside his car, called for rescue service from one of those roadside shops and the mechanic came with a blood pressure cuff and a long hook... He did exactly the same thing... Left my cousin in shock because his wife is a nurse and he never knew you could use a BP cuff on a car door... So this scene is really authentic...:-)

Lovely episode....so many little moments that were *squee worthy. The two week hiatus is gonna be torture. I think Season 3 overall has been a tremendous success. Hoping for even more Caskett closeness in S4. I think these two cannot stay apart for much longer and have it be believable. Get them together writers...we have faith in you...and in the magic that is Stana and Nathan.

Needless to say, the ending was the best for me. And when Kate responded with "Always," I just about had a heart attack of squee-ness. :D
I thought it was very sweet of the writers to honor Stephen J. Cannell, too.
Loved that they honored and remembered the late Stephen J Cannell with the empty seat at the poker table. Well done.
And the last scene where Castle is actually honest about being jealous and then she tells him she thinks it's sweet, plus that LOOK between them! Sigh. My shipper heart is very happy.

I liked Alexis' line about mythology jail.
Will They or Won't They is the stupidest thing ever.

what is wrong with american's tv show writers? why they always must mention eastern europe if some unknown drug or bad looking guy is in the show? I heard lithuania 3 times in this episode, do they even known something about this country or they just picking randomly from the map? in your country during the day are more homicides then in Lithuania in all year, america has the bigest serial killer number in the world and other psychopaths. and i dont need to mention drugs.

Castle: You guys get this a lot? Agent J…Agent K?
