ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 5 spoilers: Details on a pivotal Castle / Beckett episode
Before we get to the season finale of “Castle,” there are clearly some major issues that have be addressed with our principal couple. One of them is something that should not come as a surprise at all, given what Rick’s ex-wife Meredith told Beckett a little earlier this season: the man just has some sort of problem sharing who he really is. Despite being a great writer capable of sharing the thoughts and feelings of fictional characters, he just can’t do it with himself.
You get a sense of what the tension between the couple is going to be in the synopsis below for “The Squab and the Quail,” one of the upcoming episodes airing following the show’s return to TV with “The Fast the Furriest.” Of course, there is also a case to go along with whatever story Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic’s characters have going on:
“When Beckett is assigned to protect Erik Vaughn, a charming billionaire entrepreneur whose life is in danger, she’s forced to reflect on her relationship with Castle which has begun to plateau. Meanwhile, consumed with jealousy, Castle goes to extraordinary lengths to solve the case and separate the two of them.”
While we’re not necessarily saying that there will or should be a proposal by the end of season 5, we would be absolutely stunned if “Castle” did not at least give us some sort of indication before the spring is over as to whether or not these two are going in a positive direction, or simply going nowhere at all. After all the emotional investment in them, we can’t see things ending; but how rough of a journey are we looking at?
What do you think about the idea behind this “Castle” season 5 episode, and do you think that Castle will learn to open up a little bit more this season? Be sure to share some of your thoughts below, and you can read some more scoop on what is coming up for Beckett over at the link here.

To me, the conversation Kate had with Meredith is the one that is going to be be in the forefront of her mind when looking at her future with Castle. Meredith may have cheated on Castle which hastened the break up but the question is WHY?
Were there some genuine reasons, as she outlined to Kate in their conversation, or is she just being her usual manipuling self to keep one foot in the door with Castle for the odd ‘Top Ten’ moments?
It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. I would like to think however that Kate will not take Meredith too seriously and that she and Castle will be able to move forward in a positive way. There are always bumps in relationships and with these two, there could be quite a few before realising that they are really meant to be together.
I love the show for everything it brings, the crime solving, the fun, the romance and the drama and I sincerely hope that it gets a renewal. Bring on Season 6.

I agree…Castle had physical custody…how often does a father get physical custody over the mother? He has even referred to Merideth as more of an Aunt than a mother. Alexis has even gone to Kate for advice.
Remember – at the end of that episode Alexis wanted her mother to leave as much as everyone else. Alexis did not mind Kate there. Also, Rick and Kate have know each other for 5 yrs. probably longer than he knew both ex-wives combined before the divorce. Rick waited for Kate to be ready and Kate went to therapy for him so that they could have a relationship. They can make a marriage work. I hope that AWM does not break up Caskett.

Why does it seem wveryone has forgotten that Merideth was the one who cheated and left Rick? She may have said to Beckett those things, but Merideth was the cheatin’ cheater here. Rick was the reliable father that tuck it out to raise Alexis! And despite his antics, Rick has a heart of gold, loves those in his life without reservation, and has been there for Kate forever! Why would Kate question him now? Seems a bit strange to me…
