Loved the episode! However... 3XK planning all of it seems absurd well actually the ending only. How can you plan a getaway like that?? What if beckett shot him through the head, or castle? How would he know to survive such a fall, its a HUGE risks he is taking. And that is not planning but more like gambling tbh

Her character seems to be developing towards almost human now
Shame about that dratted "Sir" thing :)

I had a feeling that he would reappear for a revenge tactic on Castle at some point. Sadly I didn't expect it this week. I loved everything about this episode, especially 3XK's badge "J. Rook". The second I saw that...chills.
This was a good tour de force episode. They're finding their rhythm again. Keep it fairly light for 5 or six episodes and then hit us with something like this. From a sheer suspense and mind bending angle, this is my second favorite episode behind "Sucker Punch" way back in season 2.

@ elizmom, Castle didn't arrange for the guards directly,I think his lawyer did it.
Loved this episode. Even though I knew it was a trap when they were on the bridge alone I jumped when the killer hit their car. I was glad Gates didn't need convincing that Castle couldn't do something like this.
I didn't suspect anything was up with Alexis it's normal for college students to just come home for a minute and I think the writers put that scene in to remind us that the apartment is usually empty now so that it would seem credible that the killer could have access to it to leave a bag full of compromising evidence and no one would notice it before the police found it.
That Castle look-alike was a great idea. I was thinking there was the usual technical hokus-pokus going on but having it be an actual human being was refreshing.

Well I live on the east coast in NJ so I did not see the aired episode. But watching online it was the most intense one of all so far. But when Kate said "I never stopped believing" that's like saying I love you without the words. And the meeting in the library. And to think of all the resources people can use to get away with something is quite frighting.But the love the characters have is been quoted here on this page as not as normal. But in reality who's love is normal. We all have our baggage so to speak. The 3x character is pretty creepy. So change your passwords and looks once in awhile tv fanatics!Life will never be normal when we have so many that are bored and what to upset the mainstream. But that makes a great story. Best wishes and prayers go out to the folks on the Jersey shore and in the Tri-State area for hurricane Sandy.

Beckett won't say I love you for some time yet ! It is very hard for some people to say that and too easy for others!! Kate is not the type to go lay all her feeling out for all to see. I was glad to see her scenes with Laini..her best friend. With her we see how she really feels about Castle.When Marlow thinks the time is right it will happen...and probably be terrific!!

It started out well but went downhill mid-episode and the end ruined it basically.
This episode took my breath away and I am extremely glad that it was shown despite the hurricane troubles. I had no idea that it was 3XK and even I started having trouble believing that anyone could frame Castle this much. However, it makes sense that 3XK would revenge himself and you can tell he's coming back. This episode was worthy of being a mid-season finale or something of that sort. I don't know who Castle writers are but I keep giving them props with each episode.
If Kate had said 'I love you', I think I would have been a tad disappointed. Their relationship is not normal and it has never been normal. I think I like the fact that the writers, again, are not making 'Caskett' too important. We had the joy of seeing how Martha, Ryan and Esposito found out about the relationship. I think that's enough for me. I don't know what the writers are going to do in the future but I know I love the journey so far.

Another quick thought? Whose gun did Castle pick up at the end? Was it Kate's or RXK's. If it was RXK's gun, that explains the getaway, cause he would have filled the gun with blanks. I have got to go watch it again. That scene was so awesome there wasn't a moment to think.

One of the best episodes in a while. Always loved the 3XK story arc. For me, the only thing missing from this episode was that Kate never said, "I love you." The jail scene where Kate assures Castle she never stopped believing him would have been the perfect time for those 3 magic words. Heck, I would even have settled for the library scene. Ah well, Marlowe made up for it by having that jolting car crash scene on the bridge! I was expecting an ambush and it still got me by surprise. Loved how when Kate started shooting at Tyson, she did not have her usual "I'm a badass cop and I mean business" look on her face. Instead, she looked like an avenging angel. That "You are trying to harm my loved one and I am bringing the wrath!" look was scary. Castle was equally serious when he unloaded on 3XK. Keep it up guys, so far I feel the fears that Castle would go the route of Moonlighting are nowhere to be seen. BTW, I may be somewhat of an anomaly as far as viewing audience. I am a

I loved the episode but i didnt get the satisfaction of not knowing it was the 3XK. Going in to the episode i didnt know he was gonna be in it but in the beginning when they showed the guest star names, it showed Michael Mosley's name so i knew the Tripple Killer was the one that framed Castle. Its only a minor nit pick and it doesnt take away from the fact that it was a great episode. This season so far has been great.

for two people supposedly in love, there is so little physical affection shown between them. agree with david, why not get a kiss in there once in a while?

Anyone else wondering how Castle arranged the fake guards while.in his cell?
I doubt RXK will return this season. He will pop up when we least expect it- like ( dare I date myself) murdock on macguyver, every season or every other or so.
Loved the ep, loved how espo reacted to the news of Caskett. Wish we could have seen Lanie's.
