When Beckett is tasked with protecting a charming billionaire whose life is in danger, she reflects on her relationship with Castle; consumed with jealousy, Castle tries to solve the case as quickly as possible.Download Video Castle The Squab and the Quail Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Castle Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.When mystery-thriller writer Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) is called in to help investigate a series of copycat murders based on his books, he finds he enjoys the experience sufficiently to want to continue it. Pulling strings, he arranges to accompany NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), claiming he wants to study and use her as a personality basis for his next book series. Once that initial case was solved, Castle and Beckett continued to investigate strange homicides in New York, combining Castle's writer intuition and Beckett's creative detective work. Over the past four seasons, Castle and Beckett's relationship has grown even stronger as they've dodged bullets, captured killers, and solved countless murder cases with their unorthodox partnership.
What’s the best way to repair a botched “meet the parents” dinner? If you’re Castle writers, you let your headlining couple get called away to a murder and have them spend the rest of the hour on the run from a pack of ruthless mobsters. Throw in a plot twist or two and some warm fuzzies at the end and you’ve got an episode as satisfying as a full belly after Thanksgiving dinner.
As cliché as the token joint family dinner is at the beginning, Martha (Susan Sullivan) and Jim (Scott Paulin) make it more than bearable. Their keen timing and sly digs are enough to make anyone who has ever been in Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett’s (Stana Katic) shoes wish they could have dashed off to a crime scene too.
It’s an added bonus when the worried parents show up at the precinct, giving Gates (Penny Johnson Jerald) one more thing to worry about on top of a missing detective, her missing consultant, and their missing witness.
After a few failed attempts to MacGyver a CB radio and contact headquarters, the pair decide it’s time to split up. Castle argues that since Beckett is the cop she should stay with the witness in the safe house they’ve found while he runs for help. Reluctantly she agrees and they part with a token good luck kiss and with the promise that he will be fine it’s clear one of them is about to land in hot water.
At first, Castle seems most likely to be the one leaping out of the frying pan and into the fire. He’s picked up by Mickey Dolan (Tony Denison), the mob man who was a boyhood friend of a priest that was murdered. Castle needs to brush up on his poker face because it doesn’t take Dolan long to deduce where Beckett and Leo are holed up.
The twist, however, is that Dolan is the good guy in the whole mess and Castle has left Beckett with the real murderer and Leo is bent on luring Dolan out and killing him.
So do Castle and Beckett have the staying power to make it as a couple? That question will once again arise when Castle returns in two weeks for their holiday episode.
I fully enjoyed the pilot episode of Castle. Nathan and Stana have great chemistry, with him providing a ton of comedy as the crime fiction author to her straight laced cop. Castle is an engaging hero with a surprising amount of support from the characters around him, especially with his daughter and his mother.
I find the premise has tons of promise as the series progresses, both with the types of plots that can come from Castle's novels and with his romantic interests. The idea that a series of murders can be copied into real life seems a bit trite, but the execution was far better than I expected.
The fact that Castle can keep up with Detective Beckett as far as crime scene analysis and motives is smart, but also a great source of comedy. Beckett's apparent infatuation with Castle's book series not only suggest that she's a potential love interest, but hints at a lot of character subtlety that has yet to come.
