I'm betting it's not Beckett who's the target of the killer, it's Castle, and the whole dog bit is a "plot" the killer has conceived.

This being a two-parter and all.

Or that Ben wasn't the real killer, he was being manipulated by someone else who is still after Beckett.

My money is on Beckett jumping back in the tub to shield herself from the blast and flames.

"Naked woman in peril as killer draws near" is way too cliched for this show unless all those bath scenes were important in some other way.

Oh god oh god.

Castle looked very Mal-like several times this ep. So not complaining. Is NF dropping weight, or is it the darker emotions he's playing?

Beckett jumped in the tub, right?! Her nice, iron tub?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Or she wasn't at home.

I think that she was at home, because she heard the "goodbye Nikki"

Vortex ftw. I hang my head in shame at my deductive capabilities.

Or she wasn't at home.

Except there was that weird voice thing Beckett seemed to react to. I'm guessing the guy might have grabbed her and then blown the apartment. There was a tied up/gagged woman in the preview.

Although I guess if the killer knew she wasn't at home both parts might be right.

Castle looked very Mal-like several times this ep.

You're not wrong.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Castle looked very Mal-like several times this ep.

I noticed that, too! Something about the hair. More carelessly dishevelled bangs or something. Or for the non follicularly-obsessed, maybe it was the darker tone of the episode, too.

I loved Dana Delaney in this. I never watched Desperate Housewives when NF was on it, but didn't he and Delaney play a couple?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Naked Beckett in peril ties in with the book. They did a lot of that in this ep.

I want to watch again. Right now. There was a lot of quotetastic and/or funny/charming stuff going on.

And waking up to NF making pancakes would not be a bad thing.
