FINALLY Kate brings Rick a cup of coffee in public. Yes.
I knew the doll was toast from the first spoiler. That didn't ruin the fun for me. Just seeing how it all played out was cool, trying to tease out the red herrings.
I think PJJ is a good actress and she can be really funny. The department must have a captain, and while Montgomery was wonderful in his way, there's more than one way to run a department, and she's an interesting character to me.
That probably was one of the best handshakes ever.
Esposito knows. I'm sure of it, just from the way he tilts his head. Ryan, not so sure.
Lanie... how can she not know? Because when she observed that Kate was having sex, Castle didn't look nearly jealous enough, so of course Lanie would have concluded it was Rick.
I love Rick's relationship with his family. I hope they keep Alexis in the show on a regular basis, and Martha too. But Martha needs a boyfriend. A really obnoxious one.
I thought this was a great episode. I like that the writers have struck a good balance of the mystery/crime and the Caskett romance. The handshake was clever and erotic--Kudos.
I thought Gates' reaction to the doll was a bit over the top. She goes from being a hard nosed b****h to stupid soft way too quickly to be believed. She remains such an incidental character they could eliminate her role and nobody would notice or care.

Castle and Sons of Anarchy are my two favorite TV shows of all time. They're totally different, but are both beneficiaries of brilliant writing and terrific acting. Love Caskett...keep it coming.

The whole episode was outstanding. Kudos to the writer's for bringing out the great, humorous, and sexy scripts. Stana is extra amazing and what she can do with facial expressions is called GREAT ACTING.

Most people would give anything for a handshake like they had. But the moment in the episode for me when Castle asked about her doll in her desk. When we really love some one we come around and divulge all that is in our hearts. We give part of our soul. And sometimes that hurts but we are reassured by our best friend. Those dolls though better be replaced. And Iron Gates reading Castle's book, lol!

I loved it it had a lot of twist and turns and a good crime story but the butler did it was great never thought of him.Alexis is great I have to watch it again and see what she said about Kate I think she was talking about her mother not sure.And Castle when kate was rubbing his hand with her thumb he was glowing cute again great writers,actors,producers, set people everyone did a great job to make it enjoyable Mom know that Kate was in the closet funny!!! Alexis having her Dad look under the bed one more time sweet!! Next week on vacation that should be great!!

Finally. Writers must be watching the comments--the humor and great chemistry is back! Every one of the cast shone brightly last night, giving depth to their characters without getting sappy/sickening. After watching the previews for next week, I'm thinking that will be the episode that blows their relationship into the open. They get involved in a murder in the Hamptons, you just KNOW their Chief will be called. Gates is seriously annoying but not stupid--first question out of HER pursed little mouth is gonna be "What da hell are you two doing in the Hamptons...together?"....can't wait to hear the answer.....besides, the writers have already proven they can write around the relationship and not let it overshadow the entire program. Just need to get Gates' panties out of a knot....find those ugly damned dolls, Castle, and get her a 3rd one for good measure!

WOW!!! This episode was loaded...SOO MANY LAYERS TO SEASON 5 :) :) :) CASTLE writers you are WICKED AWESOME! As a viewer you have given me the "tip of the icebergs" for Season 5. Every situation in our kingdom has been addressed with a "to be continued"... Suspense, drama, COMEDY, romance, murder - Castle fulfilling one of his deepest desires: "THE BUTLER DID IT...!" said he...while Beckett looked on lovingly...nah, looked on" adoringly while drooling" sounds truer ;) WOW!!! Loved every second of this episode. Editors - four star rating??? No way :( -seriously.
*SPOILER ALERT*...Mother-in-law homicide in the future??? The very near future??? Have the writers done a great job misdirecting us? I could have sworn Martha was going to be the COOLEST, MOST LOVING mother-in-law - & right now she is soooo DARK & SNEAKY. Hopefully I am wrong.
To our beloved cast & crew -THANK YOU for the most romantic, heart melting & funny "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S JUST A HANDSHAKE" CASKETT mome
This show just keeps getting better and better. I agree with Lisa, I'll shake Castle's hand anytime. That scene was hotter than 99% of all the rolling around in the sheets we see all the time. I knew all along Martha was wise to what was happening, she misses nothing. I hope everyone else doesn't find out at the same time... the tension is one fun part of the show so let's drag it out awhile.

Lanie and Espo are no longer dating, but there is still the occasional "booty" call. Lanie said so. In just which episode, I forget. But it as after they broke up.

@ Doe-Re-Me
Lanie and Espo might not be officially dating any more but they still see and talk to each other at work. So I don't think it's unreasonable to assume she would would tell Espo if she knew soemthing about Castle and Beckett. And there was an episode last season in which Martha told something to Alexis about Castle and Beckett that Alexis then passed on to Lanie and so on until it got all the way back to Castle. It's happened before.

A couple of observations:
1) The 'handshake kiss' -- the best thing about this episode -- was a callback from S4's "An Embarrassment of Bitches" (the best thing about THAT episode). Marlowe and Co. are so fan-centric...and it's gratifying to know that my devotion to Monday nights aren't lost on the people producing the show. GREAT Easter egg!
2) Someone asked "Who watches the show for the cases? I do. Prior to them both admitting their feelings, solving cases together was their equivalent of intercourse. Aside from that, they're pretty offbeat premises, so I'm interested in the crime. I'll say this: either I'm getting smarter, or the writers are making it easier for me to figure out who the killers are, so they can evolve the relationships each episode.

I thought it was strange that Beckett was worried about Alexis telling Lanie because Lanie would tell Espasito, who would tell Ryan. Are Lanie and Espasito still dating...I thought things had ended between them.

I realy enjoyed the show this week, the writing was very good. I loved the hand shake between them there own litte private secret (BIG SMILE). Martha was so good and so fun to watch and the look on Castle face when she was like yup saw her in the closet very funny.So much enjoyed watching Alex say "Dad just one more time" he checks under the bed, that was so great.
SO it will be interesting to see who else figures there "Dateing".
Thought the doll thing with the Captin was priceless not only funny but creepy to, I know it made be laugh,- oh so close for her (captin) to like Castle... even though it was for a moment very funny.
I enjoyed also seeing them in sink again going back and forth working on a case they where perfect again going back and forth trying to figure it out. Looking so forward to next Monday
