"I Remember Everything"

Dun dun . . . . Dun dun . . . . Dun dun . . . .this is the first thing we heard on last nights episode of Castle. It was her heartbeat. Why did it beat you ask after being taken down by a sniper? Because she had something to hold onto. Richard Castle, her one coquette. The Answer to her love's duet. Ok now really. Besides the beginning where she almost died then didn't what do we have here?

The real story picks up two months after Beckett was shot. She hasn't talked to Castle in all that time. She told him she would call but she did not. After the initial introductions with the team she goes to see Castle. I was very pleased with this reunion. I was worried it would be like Castle just comes back the minute she shows up and says sorry but no. He was mad. He professed his love as she died, something she told him she didn't remember, and then she blew him off for two months. He didn't have to give her anything. He didn't owe her anything. The man was ticked. He was however less ticked once she told him she and her boyfriend Josh broke up (Hallelujah). They talked on the swings which was adorable and he agreed to come back. This was based off a very vague statement that put me into quiet squeels as I was in the Library as I watched. "I know I'm not going to be able to have the kind of relationship I want until the wall comes down. I cant do that until this is put to rest." By "this" she means her mother's murder.

Well all in all there is no luck. Castle gets a call that says if Beckett looks into the case anymore she will be killed and that is that. So what does he do? Does he tell her? No, obviously honesty has nothing to do with this relationship. He leads her away from it saying that helping those families who have lost someone is "enough for now". This statement goes for their relationship too. What they have right here right now is "enough for now." (But not later?!)

The last two scenes are key. In one we have Castle standing in his study looking at a board with Beckett's mother's case all over. Just because Beckett can't look into it doesn't mean he isn't going to. The last scene is Beckett talking to her therapist. She is crying and she says that she lied. The doctor asks about what. She answers the about the shooting. "Do you remember more?" "I remember everything." Well well well. She knows he confessed his love as she died. She lied to him. He will eventually find this out. I suppose it's To be continued. Now make sure you check out my post tomorrow about NCIS because I'm sure it's gonna be awesome!
