ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 5 spoilers: Who takes an interest in Beckett?
We know that Monday night’s new episode of “Castle” is going to remind us very much of “The Ring” meets “American Horror Story,” and that there is a rather important landmark episode coming up soon in the 100th installment. However, the focus on this article is going to be on something rather different: an episode that has not really received much attention at all thus far.
According to a new report from SpoilerTV, the upcoming 21st episode of the season is going to be called “The Squib and the Quail,” and at least one new character that we meet during this episode is going to be a Steve Jobs-type tycoon who takes some sort of interest in Beckett. Is it possible that this is a romantic interest? Sure, at least in the sense that someone is interested in her, but we don’t necessarily see her making a move back.
If nothing else, what this episode could do is serve as a reminder to Beckett that she does not necessarily have to be with Castle if she feels more interested in looking elsewhere for love. After all, remember that she does still have a number of questions about their compatibility long-term, especially thanks to the visit from Castle’s ex-wife that took place a little earlier on in the season. (We know that these questions will ring in Beckett’s head on a number of occasions throughout the final few episodes, possibly culminating in the finale.)
What do you think about the idea behind this episode? If you want to see some more scoop on what is coming up for Castle and Beckett down the road, you can do so by heading on over to the link here.

@castlefan2323 I don’t agree with you. She may not have said “I love you” to him, but you can see it in everything she does for him, and that proves that she loves him at least as much as he does love her
Maybe we are not watching the same show, because what I saw in the past seasons is that she really loves him, but she doesn’t want to be “one of his conquest”

actually, i’m kind of “jealous” when castle brought that stewardess on their crime scene at “Limey” episode. Castle role is also a playboy millionaire, he has a wondering eyes when it comes to gorgeous women! that will be nice to show that another guy – good looking, wealthy smart guy will be interested on becketts! that will be fun! make him jealous once in a while!

The thing about Beckett is that she’s never made any kind of move at all towards Castle unless she thinks he’s going to leave her. Notice how the visual they give us to symbolize her love for him is his empty chair by her desk? My theory until the end of last season was that she loves him as a friend rather than romantically. She would rather be just friends with him, but is willing to be his lover if the choice is that or nothing. She’s had a long list of go-nowhere relationships with men she doesn’t love. What if Castle’s just another one of these?
And you know what? Even now, she still hasn’t said “I love you.” As much as she is shown worrying about whether he really loves her, that might well be projection of the fact that she doesn’t love him, at least not the way he loves her.
Showing Beckett that she has alternatives might be the key to her realizing that she needs to commit to one. Or it might be the catalyst for realizing that she has to stand on her own, and living a lie with Castle isn’t fair to either of them.

It will be fun. Both are smart and confident in their professional life. However, they are competitive and insecure in their personal life while at the same time they are perfect for each other and they know it. The demons each of them will fight, for awhile, are within. They know that they are life mates but their own internal doubts about themselves will spill out into doubts about their relationship. So we will get to see Castle strut like a peacock and Beckett curl her hair and flash her beautiful smile. It will be fun to watch, cause some hurt feelings and allow them to truely see what everyone else sees: they are inseparable. And speaking of smile: Beckett’s smile has always been mesmerizing. Now, with what appear to be newly straightened teeth, it is beyond perfect.
