Since starting this blog I haven't been able to start thinking about episode 13 of Castle's third season entitled "Knockdown". This was such a huge development for Castle's character because he finally admitted how he feels towards Kate Beckett. It wasn't anything as simple as I love You. It was during a conversation with his mother after a shooting, a shooting where a retired cop is murdered in front of Castle.
One of my favourite clips of Castle happens between Martha and Castle after this murder. We have never really seen this side of Martha, she's always been the kooky mother that loves to act and sees everything as an opportunity. But this scene showed her as a mother, not an actress, a mother.
"It's not about the books anymore" - I just love the simplicity of that line. This whole episode shows the great dynamic of the Beckett/Castle relationship.
Kate herself shows Castle a bit more of herself when she shows him her window of evidence in her mothers case. She tells him that she started whilst he was in the Hamptons, with his ex wife, getting back together. Not even her boyfriend knows about her side investigation.
The fights, the tears, the caring and the jokes, it's a great relationship that we all love to watch. And the final scenes of Castle putting himself in danger to save Kate, beautiful. The episode has the big kiss, but no declaration of love. It is full of the reasons we love Beckett and Castle.
