ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 8 spoilers: Check out first photo from ‘XY’ premiere!
The season 8 premiere of “Castle” is coming to ABC on Monday, September 21, so why wait for a chance to see one of the first photos? You can see that below via TVLine, and while it does not give anything spectacular away, hopefully it does squelch some of your concerns about whether or not a pair of characters will be spending time together despite some significant changes.
Just in case you have not heard about some of these changes just yet, what we know for the time being is that Beckett (Stana Katic) is going to be promoted to Captain, and this will change at least some things in her professional relationship to Castle (Nathan Fillion). Captain Gates is gone, and there are two new additions to the show in Hayley Shipton (Toks Olagundoye) and Vikram Singh (Sunkrish Bala). In speaking about these new characters to the aforementioned publication, new co-showrunner Alexi Hawley notes that they “bring voices” to the show that are unique.
While we’ve yet to see the premiere (entitled “XY”), we know that it will revolve around a key event and be told from the perspective of Castle. Meanwhile, the second episode “XX” will be doing something similar, except from the perspective of Beckett.
Ultimately, we imagine that the core of the show will remain the same: Castle and Beckett working together in some capacity to take down the bad guys, while at the same time we learn a few new things about their respective past.

What looks like a small box that Beckett is holding probably contains her gold Captain bars and possibly her new badge. Castle seems to be holding a celebratory cake.

It’s actually a bracelet with Always written on it

The box looks too small to hold a woman’s solid ring bracelet and getting them along with the cake acknowledging that she has been promoted to Captain would be appropriate. However, if you can tell me how you know that it is a bracelet I will certainly be glad to listen.

On second thought it is probably the bracelet that is seen covered in blood in one of the previews. I say this because promotions to Captain are significant enough that there would be an official ceremony of pinning on the Captain’s bars and presenting the badge. The preview shows the celebratory cake and just Castle and Beckett so it is probably a celebration just between the two of them with Castle giving Beckett something personal -the bracelet.
