TFTNT Ingrid!

You're welcome :hug:

I'm looking forward to the new episode :yay:

Me too. It sounds interesting, something a bit different :)

Thanks for the thread :hug:

This looks very good. Thriller-like and very suspenseful. I'm looking forward to it :nod:

No problem :hug:

It does look good, very intense.

Thanks for the thread :flowers:

I liked the episode.

How Castle and Beckett solved the clues was really good to watch.

Kate being badass several times :sigh:

I expected more emotional trauma, I guess? More repercussions thoughout the episode, I mean.

Something was fishy with Todd/Brandon being the only one without his better half in there, but I didn't make him. Only when Caskett did it made sense, lol.

I liked seeing Hayley again. She and Alexis make a good team :)

I really liked this episode, it was different.

I loved them solving the clues and Beckett's side always seemed one step ahead of Castles which was fun :)

When the priest was the odd man out I figured it him was him from then (though didn't know for sure until the end obviously). I'm rewatching some of it now and he took a big risk at the beginning with his allergic reaction to the bee, I wonder if that was staged or for real and he banked on them solving the clue...

I loved how Castle and Beckett are so in tune that they knew they'd both figured out who was behind it all. :sigh:

And Castle's little "I love you" on the phone to Beckett was very cute.

It was great seeing Hayley again too, I really do like her.

Fiona, I know, I asked myself the same on my rewatch if 'Todd' staged the allergic reaction to the bee, and the poison wasn't poison just some stuff to make foam in your mouth?

I loved the episode. It was different yet reminded me of S4 Castle (Cuffed, the car ride into the water, just the situations Caskett where always finding themselves in). I like how they had the guys and girls separated that alone was interesting and seeing how each "team" solved the puzzles.
I loved Alexis and Hayley teaming up with Ryan and Espo to find Castle and Beckett. I loved Beckett's shirt. And Castle's a Yankees fan! Just like Beckett! I didn't think Castle was into baseball or even had a team :lol: unless he just chose the Yankees because of Beckett but either way it's cute.
I just wish that Alexis had more concern for Beckett. All she basically said is that she didn't make her meeting. I wasn't asking for Alexis to hug her or anything but maybe a "we need to find my dad and Beckett" or "I'm glad your okay, Kate." I really miss seeing Beckett and Little Castle. I've been waiting for Lex to confront her over the separation or something but nope we only seen Martha. Hopefully we get something before the end of the season. But over all it's an episode I won't forget :).

Totally agree Sandy, I noticed the Yankees thing too and thought the same :lol: I like to think they go to games together :D

Right? And when the TVs screens turned on and off at the right times, did he have a controller or something in his pocket? Perhaps we're overthinking :lol:

I loved this episode. I agree Sandy, it was similar to some episodes from season 4 :nod:

I liked that the men and women were separated, and how they could watch what was going on in the other room a few times.

I agree that Todd took a big risk with his bee allergy if that was real..

I enjoyed seeing Hayley again, I liked her scene with Alexis towards the end.

I was thinking the same about Alexis. Even if she was upset with Beckett because of the break up, I think she'd still want Beckett to be safe so I don't know why she didn't seem concerned for Beckett at all.

Yeah, I agree about Alexis as well. She ran straight for her dad and didn't even acknowlegde Kate.
Well, from what we saw, that is. Who knows if those kind of scenes always get cut :shrug:

But I miss scenes with Beckett and little Castle :nod:

I don't know, the scene with Alexis not hugging Kate didn't seem like a big deal to me. Maybe if the room wasn't full of people then maybe it would have felt weird.

I do hope we see some scenes with them together soon though :)
