Castle ended its two-parter last night with the sequel to Pandora, titled Linchpin. If you’ve missed Pandora, you can read our recap here. Also, if you’ve missed last night’s dramatic episode, you can read that recap here.

Pandora started off with a rogue CIA operative named Thomas Gage, who killed a man, made his body disappear and then proceeded to walk right out of the front door of the LAPD unrecognized. Later, Rick and Kate are pulled into the CIA investigation of Pandora. Dr. Blakely was looking into a series of events that would take down the United States and it all boiled down to one catalyst. The doctor was killed in front of Rick and Kate and their car was shoved into the Hudson River.

Linchpin picked right up where the action left off, leaving us to believe momentarily that Rick had made the ultimate sacrifice. They got out of the car in time, but Sophia Turner yelled at them over the incident. Rick and Kate also found the doctor’s place, where he had figured out a set of cataclysmic events that boiled down to a linchpin. Xiang Ganghong’s daughter is the linchpin and if her murder is traced back to the CIA, it would cause the Chinese to cease purchasing debt from the U.S., and ultimately cause World War III.

As any tale goes, it gets worse. Sophia turns out to be the bad guy and was only using Thomas Gage as a decoy in order to throw everyone off of the trail. She pulls a gun on Rick and Kate, only to get killed by another CIA agent. They go after her agent who is attempting to murder Xiang’s daughter. Kate nabs him and saves the day.

What was funny was how jealous Kate was of Sophia’s relationship with Rick. I can’t wait for them to reveal that she remembers her shooting and how Rick professed his love for her.

Tonight is the exciting second part of the Castle two-parter, which started last week with Pandora. In case you’ve missed last week’s episode of the show, you can read our full recap here.

Last week’s episode featured a former CIA operative who is part of a much bigger scenario. He intends to find the linchpin that would cause a series of events that would take down the United States as we know it.

The operative, only known as Thomas Gage, gets purposely caught by the NYPD, so that he can get into their computers to find a science student by the name of Tracy McGrath. She dies, but all of the bodies keep disappearing.

Also last week, we learned that Kate wasn’t Rick’s first muse. After they are put in the loop by CIA agent, Sophia Turner, Kate learns that she was Rick’s inspiration for Claire Strike. Kate was miffed! Ha.

In the end, they learned that Dr. Blakely faked his own death and he asked Rick and Kate to take him to the pier. When he notices some pigeons flying away, he says that his assailants are already there. He gets out to run, but gets shot right in front of our crime fighting duo. Afterward, Rick and Kate get their car shoved into the river by a black SUV.

Stay tuned for our full episode recap, tonight at 10PM EST, as the show airs!

If you’ve seen the latest episode of Castle, titled Pandora, then you know just how much happened on the episode. It was good and jam-packed with a lot of Rick and Kate moments (Caskett) that we just adore. In case you’ve missed the first part of the two-part episode, you can read our full recap here.

Pandora opened up with the death of a man who fell from a window. It was learned that the victim was shot, stabbed, choked and had a pencil jabbed into his neck. The assailant is a former CIA operative and Navy SEAL who goes by the name of Thomas Gage. He made the body disappear, as well as himself, after he was captured by the LAPD.

Rick and Kate found themselves in a secret CIA spot where a former flame of Castle’s emerges. Her name is Sophia Turner and as it turns out, she was also Castle’s muse for Claire Strike in a previous novel.

The episode centers around a plot to take down the United States, with the codename Pandora. It uses one small catalyst, called a linchpin, that would set off a series of cataclysmic events.

Kate was obviously jealous that Rick used Sophia as a muse and Kate wasn’t his first. Uh oh! The show ends with the death of Dr. Blakely right in front of Castle and Beckett and they get shoved into water by an SUV.

Next week is the shocking conclusion of the two part episode, titled, Linchpin. Will you be watching to see how the dynamic duo are freed from the car at the bottom of the river? We will be recapping the show, so stay tuned!

It’s an all new episode of Castle tonight as the show prepares for a two-parter! This episode is titled Pandora and features Jennifer Beals as someone who has a past with Rick. Uh oh! Does that spell drama for our crime fighting duo?

ABC’s official synopsis:

Castle and Beckett discover the killer they are pursuing is part of an international conspiracy and they must work with a CIA agent with whom Castle has a history.

Jennifer plays CIA operative Sophia Turner, who helps out with the investigation. Sophia isn’t just any CIA agent, either. She is Rick’s old muse! You didn’t think Kate was his first and only inspiration, did you?

In a new interview, Jennifer said, “I think it certainly complicates things a bit, because it’s another person that [Kate] didn’t know about. And I think it’s probably a more important person because there was enough about this person that was interesting that he decided to put it into a character. So that might be problematic in some ways.”

Of whether or not their relationship turned romantic, Jennifer said, “You’ll get to find out.”

FYI, the second part of the two-parter is called Linchpin and it will air next Monday on ABC at 10PM EST.

Stay tuned for our official recap of the show. We will be providing you with live updates as the show airs, so keep refreshing for the latest.

Update: We’ll be recapping the show HERE!

It’s an all new episode of ABC’s hit show Castle tonight and we’ve got the scoop on the noir episode, titled, The Blue Butterfly! In case you’ve missed the 13th episode, titled, An Embarrassment Of Bitches, you can read our official recap here. Are you psyched for an all new episode?

From the official synopsis:

When Castle and Beckett investigate the killing of a treasure hunter, they discover the case is linked to a mysterious homicide from 1947 involving a hard-boiled private detective. Castle realizes the only way to solve the present-day murder is to solve the murder from the past. The 1947 case comes to life through stylized flashbacks, featuring Castle as the private eye and Beckett as a femme fatale.

Castle has an overactive imagination as he dreams about being in the forties, solving a murder involving the mysterious blue butterfly. We can’t wait to see how Kate and Rick interact together in his little fantasy of the unsolved case. Rick sure does make one dapper private eye, though, doesn’t he?

RECAP:

The show opens in New York in 1947, Lanie’s alter-ego is on the stage, singing. Castle is the private dick, looking for a dame, which is the mobster’s girl (Kate). Flash to the future, Rick and Kate are talking about their new victim, Stan Banks. He’s got an SRO key but he’s got a house in New York. They’re looking for an eyewitness. Ryan and Esposito go to Stan’s apartment to talk to his landlady. She said that he was happy because he was moving out because “his ship was coming in”. Rick and Kate are talking to Stan’s wife. She said that Stan quit his job in order to find the blue butterfly. Stan owed someone $10,000 and he was threatened to pay up or else.

Rick found a diary that belonged to Stan from the 1940′s and he wonders why Stan had the diary. Rick asks Kate if he can take the diary home with him tonight. At his desk, Rick starts reading the diary again from June 18, 1947. As the P.I., he was pouring a drink and gets interrupted by his secretary with a potential client. It’s Alexis (playing Sally Scofield) and she’s looking for her big sister, Vera McQueen. (Kate) She asks if they can keep this quiet in order to not push Vera away. It’s a picture of Kate! He goes to the Penny Picker Club and Betsy Sinclair (Lainey) is singing with her “golden pipes”. He gets a drink and asks if the bartender knows Vera/Kate. He points her out in the club and she looks, but she’s with the mob boss, Tom Dempsey.

He sends over his two gorillas (Ryan and Esposito) and they all take Castle/Boyle in the back and rough him up. They throw him out of the club into the garbage cans. Then, Vera/Kate appears and asks if he’s hurt. She’s wearing the blue butterfly necklace and Castle snaps back to the present to ask if that’s why Stan Banks was killed.

ABC’s hit show, Castle, doesn’t air tonight, but we’ve got some goodies on the upcoming Noir episode, titled, The Blue Butterfly, to tide you over! Why must they make us wait until next week?!? In case you’ve missed last week’s episode, you can read our official recap here.

In next week’s episode, Castle plays the private investigator and Beckett is the gangster’s moll. It’s a flashback to the year 1947, thanks to overactive imagination of our favorite writer.

WATCH:

Castle and Beckett share a kiss in this episode! Of course, it’s not a present day kiss, but a kiss in their noir personas. As a fan of the show, we’re willing to take what we can get!

Stana Katic told The Hollywood Reporter that she thinks fans will be pleased with how the episode plays out. She said, “It’s probably the best version of what Castle and Beckett should be, I think, for fans. The gangster’s moll falls in love with the P.I., Castle’s character, and we have to find a way to escape from the gangster, who’s a really bad guy played by Mark Pellegrino.”

Are you excited for the upcoming episode to air?

On Castle’s latest episode, An Embarrassment Of Bitches, Rick and Kate investigate a socialite named Kay Cappuccio, who is a vapid waste of space — kind of like Kim Kardashian. In case you’ve missed the show, you can read our full recap here.

The show featured a dog trainer named Francisco Pilar, who is the show’s victim. Apparently, he was hooked into a drug cartel. Kay’s boyfriend, Reggie Starr, put a camera in her dog’s collar. It was believed that it was actually the photographer that was working for the Celebrity Report.

Rick and Kate were given the responsibility to look after Francisco’s dog, Royal, while their investigation was pending. They traded babysitting duties for the pooch, and grew closer as a result. How cute. They were going to do rock/paper/scissors for permanent custody of the dog, but the dog chose to go with Kay Cappuccio, instead.

Wasn’t Kay completely vapid? They drew so many similarities to Kim Kardashian. Kay was basically untalented and completely devoid of any substance.

What was funny was that when Rick and Kate were talking to Dr. Barker, they actually thought she was the dog trainer’s therapist, when she was really the dog’s therapist. Too funny.

Still, it was a great episode. On next week’s show, we’re going to get to see the Noir, 40′s based episode, titled, The Blue Butterfly. Are you excited?

It’s an all new episode of ABC’s hit show, Castle, tonight! This episode is titled, An Embarrassment Of Bitches and is the fourth seasons 13th episode. The show airs at 10PM EST and we will be recapping the show, live, as it airs.

From the previews, it looks like Rick and Kate will grow a little closer as they take care of a dog together. The show also features a Kim Kardashian like character who is basically famous for nothing and a reality television star.

Stay tuned as we watch the show with you and recap it with our up-to-the-minute updates!

The show opens with a dog show and various owners are walking their dogs through. Reality star Kay Capuccio is in the audience with her boyfriend Reggie Starr. She promotes her new fragrance when the camera pans to her.

Back at Rick’s house, Alexis and Martha and she tells him that she was planning on taking his Ferrari and hooking up with guys from Craigslist. Her friend’s name is Buttons Dutton. Ha.

Francisco Pilar, the judge from the dog show, is their murder victim. Someone put a leash around his next and pulled. Lanie talks smack at Javier…and she bites his head off.

Later on, Rick and Kate talk to Mr. Green about the victim. His only family was his dog, Royal. He was a dog whisperer. They ask for a list of all of the contestants from the dog show. Royal is outside of the room and is scratching on the floor. The victim was murdered in front of his dog, so perhaps there’s DNA on him.

Tonight is an all new episode of ABC’s hit show Castle, starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic. This is the fourth season’s thirteenth episode, titled, An Embarrassment Of Bitches. In case you’ve missed last week’s episode, titled, Dial M For Mayor, you can read the official recap at this link.

From the official press release, tonight’s episode synopsis:

When a famous dog trainer is killed, the investigation keeps coming back to charismatic reality TV star Kay Cappuccio (guest star Hilarie Burton, “White Collar”). Kay, a favorite of tabloids and gossip websites the world over, has achieved stardom without possessing any discernible skill or talent. But there seems to be more to her story than she is letting on — does that include murder?

Watch the sneak peek video, below:

Are Rick and Kate growing closer with the help of their canine friend? And is it just me, or does this episode’s central character remind you of Kim Kardashian? There’s something familiar about a reality TV star that has no talent….who else could it be?

Last night’s episode of Castle could very well have spelled the end of the partnership between Castle and Beckett. The episode was titled Dial M For Mayor and it pitted the crimefighting and writing duo against each other. The mayor was sought for a possible murder — something that Castle was adamantly protesting throughout the show. In case you’ve missed the show, you can read our full recap here.

The mayor came under fire when a murdered woman was found in a car that was used last by him. The mayor denied ever knowing the victim, but in the end it was revealed that it was assistant who killed the victim. Either way, it prompted the mayor to drop out of the race for Governor.

Castle is once again vindicated, even though it was obvious that he couldn’t stay biased within the investigation. The mayor maintained his innocence, but refused to turn over his cashmere coat for testing of its fibers.

Rick is still able to work in the precinct to watch over Kate, which seems to be the mystery guy’s motive. Who else would be able to make sure Kate doesn’t stumble into something that would get her hurt? Besides that, when are they going to grow closer to one another and finally start dating?

What did you think of Dial M For Mayor? Sound off in the comments!

Tonight’s episode of Castle is all new at 10PM EST on ABC! This episode is titled, Dial M For Mayor and could pit Kate and Rick against each other. In case you’ve missed last week’s episode, titled, Till Death Do Us Part, you can read our full recap of the show here.

Episode synopsis:

Derek Webster (“Desperate Housewives,” “Damages”) guest stars as Mayor Robert Weldon, Castle’s longtime friend and the Mayor of New York City. It was Mayor Weldon’s political clout that allowed Castle to partner up with Beckett. But now, when a woman is found dead in a car that traces back to the Mayor’s motor pool, that partnership comes under fire as the scandal surrounding the investigation threatens to bring down Weldon’s administration.

Obviously, since Rick had the mayor on his side, he was able to use his experiences with the precinct and Kate for inspiration in his Nikki Heat books. But since the mayor is coming under fire for a homicide, that could jeopardize his working relationship with Kate. Nothing spells trouble like murder — Castle style!

We will be covering the show live tonight as it airs — so stay tuned and keep refreshing for the latest up-to-the-minute coverage!
