I love this show. It's like the hot chocolate of procedurals.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

That was quite a leap of deduction. Me no likey.
Aaaaand now it makes horrific sense.
Beckett's confession of affection was nice and refreshing.

Crap, I missed the first 20 minutes of Castle. At least I got to see who done it. And I loved the little Beckett/Castle moment at the end.

I'm having a LOT of logic problems with the ending. The outwardly upstanding guy doubling as a heroin dealer is one thing, but the upstanding guy who's also a trained (and hired) assassin and starts dealing heroin when he knows his brother will be involved AND then kills his brother AND was hired to kill Beckett's mom for unknown reasons ten years earlier? That's a hell of a balancing act on Occam's razor.

He didn't know that his brother would be involved. He was dealing to the Latin Kings, and one of them started dealing on the Westies turf. The brother was sent to find the dealer/supplier and discovered it was his brother. Who, coincidentally also is or was a hired assassin.

Ah, that was the disconnect. I still have trouble reconciling some of the details, but that part makes sense, at least.

Whew.
Got that out of my system.
I need to rewatch the ending of Castle because I misunderstood. As soon as there was Heroin involved I knew that the brother (who'd been in Afghanistan) was also involved. But - I thought he was just the guy that the assasin was working for not that he was the assasin. Confused.

They never thought that he was working for the assassin, they thought that he'd hired the assassin to have his brother killed . He gave them the information to hire the assassin in exchange for immunity (go Castle for risking 100K to catch Beckett's mother's killer! Also, I knew something was up when he insisted on his immunity kicking in when the contract was accepted). They figured out that he was the assassin because he knew that the person that Beckett had lost was female (flimsy, but okay). Also, he did mention that he and the assassin had been in the service together.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Castle was much fun, but quite hard to follow.
Or, what Frankenbuddha said.
