Yes, but it looks like it's not a prank this time.

I'm excited for the two-parter - I've seen promo stills that have 3XK and his Creepy Girlfriend in custody, being questioned by C&B, and looking very pleased with themselves. That can't be good.

I knew he was getting played, but I thought it was all going to be a solo plot by the wife. When Castle caught on to that exact same idea with almost half the episode left to go, I knew it would be twistier, though.

I was thinking that it was the wife's plot too, so I was glad that Castle thought of that idea early on as well.

Like what?


-3XK is suppose to be dead.
-The guy 3XK is pretending to be has committed no apparent crimes and is not connected to the current murder victim.
-Both of them were clearly in the Police Station when Beckett went missing.

The worst they have 3XK is trying to run from the police, but that in itself isn't something they can hold him on for longer than they did.

For 3xk don't they have other tapes. His voice alone would be enough to hold that bastard on I would think.

Eh voice comparison is actually pretty hard and while they could do it, it would take a long while. Also he already has both fingerprints and now DNA that says he's not 3XK... and getting plastic surgery to make yourself look like a serial killer isn't a crime

You're probably thinking to much into this. This is all just a big coincidence. In fact it's reasonable to aume the 3XK never existed in the first place. Just a series of accidents.

I was up in the air about the episode until maybe 15 minutes were left, when Castle asked if it was him and tyson answered yes I was genuinely creeped out. The ending was perfect for a two parter can't wait for next week.

The Oncoming Storm

Tide posted:

He was really suspicious of Castle about his disappearance. I think there's some scenes on the cutting room floor that never made it in regarding his distrust. Or more likely, the writers haven't been too clear on his motivations.

Speaking of, did they ever explain the disappearance? It kinda feels like it's just been completely forgotten about. Even Beckett's mom would pop up every so often.

Nothing yet. It seems like it's been kind of dismissed. Maybe 3XK had something to do with it?

It's been mentioned a few times but I think they're saving it up for end of season finale, and the big arc for Season 8 if there is one.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
Pretty decent. I do wonder, were we supposed to think at any point during the end that the crazy doctor had actually stolen Beckett's face by the time they arrived? I mean, suspicions like that are the whole reason why you have a "I'm gonna steal your beautiful, beautiful face" monologue, but on the other hand, this whole thing is happening over the course of like a day or two and she obviously doesn't have any signs of extensive facial surgery happening at all, so it's impossible. Still, I spent the last five minutes of the episode feeling like an idiot but watching for Beckett to do something weird or to grin maliciously at the camera or something.

Also, that's such a creepy horror plot that they would never do it on a lighthearted show like Castle, even in its most serious moments.

I just realized that Michael Mosley (Jerry Tyson/3XK) plays Johnny on Sirens, which made the part where he's in charge of a girls' slumber party deeply, if inadvertently, disturbing.

It'll probably have to do with Castle's spy dad since that's one of the last threads left dangling.

Am I wrong for really rooting for Tyson, when Castle came into that apartment and started waving a gun around? That might be relatable in such a stressfull situation, but it was certainly messed up.

I liked Gates interpretation more. Tyson took a random guy, made him look like him and provoced Castle to assult and eventually kill an innocent man. That would be an efficient way to mess with his head. But I guess that's a little to dark.

No. I really don't think so. The camera lingered a few seconds on the bloody scalpel in before showing us who was actually holding it. But at that point it was kind of obvious what happened. Your scenario seems downright ridiculous, if you think about the effort and time it would take.

Notice that Castle also checked her hair, to make sure it wasn't a wig, like with the mid episode victim.

Shit! I didn't bring a knife.

Did it seem strange to anyone else that after knowing they took Beckett, Cadtle didn't IMMEDIATELY do something about protecting Martha and Alexis? Castle even says that Tyson is coming after him, and I instantly thought he was gonna go after the rest of his family.

Obviously he wasn't going to pull the trigger when he had Tyson cornered in the apartment but I love seeing Fillion going dark and menacing it always reminds me of the firefly episode where he's been torture and gets free.
