In the season two premiere, "Deep in Death", it is obvious that Rick's decision to touch the death of Beckett's mom created a huge barrier between them, and Rick seemed to have kept his distance, but Kate has no choice, but to continue putting up with him, especially when the mayor has them more committed to their deal when a Cosmopolitan article about Rick's new book, Heat Wave, and the involvement of the NYPD offers good press and publicity for the police for a change.
Just then, a murder occurs and the two are forced back into action as they are shadowed by the journalist still covering their story. Richard apologizes to Kate for the disturbance and, when Kate keeps up with her bitter responses, reminds her that she should not be so angry at him since he did discover something on her mother's murder, but she shrugs this all off.
It is evident that Lanie is aware of what Castle did and is siding with Kate, until she finds out that Castle found something wrong in her mother's file. And while Esposito and Ryan know, they choose not to choose sides and just content themselves with laughing by the sidelines.
After the body is stolen in Castle and Lanie's presence, Beckett agrees to let Castle work that one last case with them, and that he will leave her alone after that.
He agrees, but he also adds that he will most likely let her change her mind. After the case is closed, Richard reminds Kate of her mother's case again, saying that if she is afraid of going back to her old habits if she investigates her mother's death again, she shouldn't be because he will help her.
She then asks Richard to honor their deal and leave. Richard goes home to his daughter, who opens up about her own teenage problems. She asks him why boys always have to justify their mistakes and don't just apologize, making Richard realize what his mistake was. He goes back to the precinct and apologizes to Kate, who responds with their classic "See you tomorrow" as Castle walks away, signifying that the partnership is back on.
He checks her out and Lanie calls him out for it. Later, Ryan and Esposito begin acting strange when Castle begins asking questions about a separate murder case that they are investigating. Ryan and Esposito, who seem to show that they do not need Castle's help on solving their case, barely share any information to him. When Castle says that it must be just an ordinary case, the pair becomes defensive, so Castle gets into a bet with Ryan and Esposito regarding which team would be able to close their cases first.
Other officers in the precinct get wind of it and they eventually join in. Hiding it from Beckett did not work since she later finds out; initially mad, Beckett later joins in, not knowing that, other than money, their hairs and daily attires are at stake. None of them win though, since both teams end up helping each other close their cases, anyway. In Inventing the Girl, Rick is approached by a model in a fashion week event he and Beckett were investigating. He assumes the girl was flirting with him, not realizing that it was actually Katrina, Alexis' old babysitter.
When he finds out, he is shocked and obviously disappointed, shuddering when the boys tease him about the model, saying that they should stop talking about young girls that way since they could be someone's daughter or babysitter. He later invites her to his loft so that she and Alexis could reconnect. For publicity purposes, Rick gives the reporter from the Cosmopolitan magazine an advanced copy of Heat Wave so they can publish a review before its release. Rick later finds out that Beckett is upset that he didn't give her, the main inspiration of Nikki Heat, an advanced copy, so Rick bends the rules to convince his editor to let her have one.
After receiving the copy, Kate later pretends to not have begun reading the book yet, but she has already in act read a part of it.
Later, when she finds out there is a sex scene in the book, she waits for Castle to leave and reads it in one of the stalls in the precinct's toilet, only to be caught by Castle, who directs her to the page of the sex scene. In "When the Bough Breaks", Rick was offered to write three novels for the relaunch of a franchise revolving around "a certain British secret agent", unnamed because Castle and his agent claimed that saying the name would jinx the deal, that he was apparently a fan of.
Castle initially thought that Beckett might be relieved that he will no longer shadow her; however, it actually became evident that Beckett seemed upset about the thought of no longer having Castle around when he moves onto another book series. In the end, though, he and his agent decide to reject the offer when Nikki Heat became a hit, leaving his publisher wanting three more books and offering him more money. The fact that the "certain British secret agent" deal would have terminated his partnership with Beckett may have also contributed to his decision.
Castle is often pointed out as immature and childish, yet also charming. He is a well-renowned womanizer and tends to flirt with every attractive woman he comes across, even signing some chests of his fans. One of Rick's pet peeves is, being the writer he is, wrong grammar, particularly the misuse of irony and coincidence, which he almost always points out. Although initially portrayed as relatively jocular and slightly immature about his role in investigations, Castle has demonstrated significant character depth as the series progresses.
While a skilled investigator with a knack for noting minor details in the situations they investigate, such as when he noted that rent for a victim's apartment would have been paid for after her death, there are times when Beckett has to step in to stop him becoming carried away with wild theories that threaten to obscure the facts; as an example, he once speculated that Doctor Joshua Leeds had been killed for his involvement in an organ-smuggling ring before they discovered that he was wanted for plastic surgery he had performed for someone in witness protection.
Long before Castle started following Beckett, he was known as the "Master of the Macabre". He alerted the police anonymously, but they never found the girl and there was no one Castle could find reported missing over the years that matched her description. Being unable to solve the mystery of what happened to him that day, Castle became interested in solving other mysteries.
In the present day of the episode, Castle was finally able to solve the murder he witnessed and stop a serial killer who had been operating for at least thirty years undetected. In " 47 Seconds ", after learning that Beckett had lied to him about not remembering Castle tell her he loves her, he still decides to continue working with Beckett, not to be with her or for inspiration for his Nikki Heat books, but because he makes a difference solving mysteries with Beckett.
He likes that enough that he's become willing to put aside the fact that Beckett apparently doesn't like him back to continue making a difference. This is a change since Castle started for selfish reasons and is now doing it for selfless reasons. This is further showcased by the fact that when he's fired in season 7, Castle goes to work as a private investigator rather than going back to his old life. Richard Castle has apparently been described often as "ruggedly handsome," an attribute that several ladies have fallen for.
He has blue eyes and dark brown hair. He often wears a coat or jacket over his shirt. As of " The Third Man ", Rick was ranked number 9, dropping from his previous ranking, number 7. In addition to Castle's knowledge of a multitude of topics, he has also demonstrated a high level of marksmanship and personal defensive training. He even once out-shoot Beckett at a shooting range as part of a bet.
After missing his first three shots on purpose, he then shot his next three in a row hitting inside the center ring. During a confrontation with serial killer Scott Dunn , Castle even managed to shoot his gun out of Dunn's hand before he could shoot at the currently-downed Beckett, although Castle claimed after Dunn's arrest that he'd actually been aiming for the other man's head.
He beat Hal Lockwood into submission and fought off Dick Coonan despite being held at gunpoint; both were hardened, trained, professional killers. In " Probable Cause ", Rick was able to shoot Jerry Tyson in the chest even while he was using Beckett as a body shield.
In " Tick, Tick, Tick… ", he operated a taser with proficiency, so it is shown he is at least familiar with basic police weaponry. Castle is also an expert fencer and frequently duels with Alexis.
Castle's flashes of startling competence in combat is at odds with the fact that he's typically fairly inept in a fight. Castle is also shown albeit off screen to know torture techniques. When Alexis is kidnapped in " Target ", Castle interrogates Douglas Stevens, who refuses to tell him anything.
We later hear Stevens' screams offscreen, then find out that he gave Castle the information. Castle also happens to be very good at Texas Hold'Em Poker, priding himself with his almost unreadable poker face. Castle's relationship with Beckett began as a rocky, forced partnership when Rick decided to shadow her for his Nikki Heat novels. From the beginning, being the womanizer he used to be, Rick had tried to flirt with and woo the detective, who just continuously rejected his advances.
Eventually, though, after several solved cases together, they form a bond and friendship that consisted of constant teasing and banters, which others around them usually easily pick up on. Their friendship gradually develops even further until they both have more serious feelings for each other, but are at different stages of admitting it.
They eventually do and start a romantic relationship. About a year later Castle proposes to her and she says 'Yes', they plan a big wedding but on their wedding day, Castle gets kidnapped leaving Beckett to search for him for two whole months before he is found in the ocean on a small boat. But he does not remember what happened to him. After another few months they get married in an intimate ceremony attended by only Martha, Alexis and her father Jim Beckett. Kyra is Richard Castle's first true love; the girl that Richard describes as "the one that got away".
During college, just after finishing his first best-seller, Rick meets Kyra Blaine and pursues a relationship with her. Although Kyra's parents strongly disapprove of Castle for their daughter, apparently because of his lack of character, their relationship goes on for almost three years.
At one point in their relationship, Kyra decided that she needed space. During their separation, Kyra has apparently read all of Rick's books. One of his books, A Rose for Everafter , was actually dedicated to Kyra. He also kept the original manuscript of the book, with one old photo of them tucked into it. As the two catch up, they wonder what it would have been like for the two of them if they continued their relationship.
Kyra contemplates the possibility that the murder and Rick's appearance is a sign that she shouldn't go through with her wedding plans. One night, the two rendezvous at their 'secret roof' after Beckett and Martha dissuade him from coming to her, not knowing that Beckett was having Kyra under surveillance. The two reminisce about their past and Kyra tells Castle that she will still be thinking about him from time to time.
The two then shares a long, final kiss. According to a conversation they had, it also seems like the two have at least once thought about their future, wherein when marriage is considered, Kyra calls it a "Jurassic institution. Receiving Castle's comments that Greg is fully committed to her, Kyra completes her closure with Castle, and happily leaves him all to Beckett though somehow stunned her a bit. Afterwards, Castle and Beckett attends Kyra and Greg's small wedding ceremony, where Kyra intentionally gives her blessings to Castle and Beckett.
Sophia Turner is Rick Castle's first muse. When he was doing research for his Derrick Storm novels, he was given permission to shadow the CIA agent. For a while, there had been this intense attraction and tension between the two.
After months of fighting the longing and urge, the two finally give in and try a relationship. It does not last though, since the two ended up "driving each other crazy" now that the sexual tension is gone between them. Kate almost immediately picks up on their past and notices how similar their ways are to their own, such as finishing each other's sentences, building theories together like no one else was around them, and Richard's habit of bringing both of them coffee. But according to Castle, she only began as Sophia Turner but he ended up changing her into what he would have wanted her to continue to be: a woman more like Kate Beckett, which is most likely what Sophia was talking about when she said Rick "rewrote their ending".
Meredith was Rick's first wife and is the mother of his only child, Alexis. Surprisingly, Richard is the mature one between the two of them, given Meredith's lifestyle that eventually led to their divorce.
However, Meredith still constantly pops into their lives, and most likely during every visit, Richard tends to sleep with her, although both are aware that their relationship is now nothing more than that of ex-couples having sex. When Meredith once considered moving back to New York, Richard became fearful of the idea of having Meredith back in his and Alexis' life, saying that she is like a "deep-fried twinkie" who is bad for his health when he gets too much of her everyday.
Eventually, though, she decides to go back on the road after she gets a project with a little help from Richard's friend , and the family part ways in good terms. The plan involved Castle purposely getting captured. As Volkov demanded that Hunt surrenders himself, it is revealed that Castle's radio contained an explosive, killing Volkov and creating confusion.
Castle then freed Alexis with an explosive watch and made their way through their pre-planned escape route right into the American embassy, where they would receive a cover story for their return home while Hunt assaulted the front of Volkov's base to keep his men occupied. Hunt survived this operation, and after the mission Castle received a package that has a Casino Royale book the book he gave Castle when he was a kid inside implying that he survived.
A year later, Hunt was called upon to find a CIA mole, codenamed Gemini, who had stolen a list of CIA deep cover operatives and was planning on selling it to the Iranians.
He enlisted Ted Rollins, a hacker, to help him find Gemini but when Ted had found something concrete and arranged a meeting at Coney Island, he was killed before Hunt could arrive. Hunt then moved Ted's body back his apartment and put him in the shower, where the water would wash away trace evidence, before using his cell phone to call , knowing that it was in the 12th Precinct's jurisdiction, and that Beckett and Castle would be put on the case.
Just as Beckett and Castle entered the office, Hunt called his son on his cell phone, warning him not to react before showing himself. As he was interviewed by Beckett as to his association with Ted, he denies it.
Hunt later meets with Castle in Central Park, wanting whatever information Castle had, stating that without his help, more people will die. Castle admitted that Ted had hidden an Iranian reale under his right foot before his killer took it. Realizing that the Iranians were involved, Hunt tells Castle to keep his silence and not tell anyone the truth about him.
Hunt managed to track down another of Ted's apartments, which was across from the Iranian embassy, but Gemini was waiting for him and started shooting across from a rooftop just as Hunt entered the apartment. Get Ghost from Amazon.

Let them at least have this one, since they will spend the rest of the series embroiled in one type of kiosk or another. Most importantly, I am happy to see that the writers have rediscovered their "mojo.
The great thing about Castle, unlike most other crime drama's, is that Marlowe and crew value the fans input and have even used some fan ideas in episodes. The questions that may remain in season 6 — will be whether Castle's dad has a part in the bring down Senator Bracken?
The character Kate has to have closure before the wedding day. Possible season 7 - What will the confrontation look like as the doctor and 3XK meet their swan songs? The face-off here without question will be intense, this has I imagine been an intentional matching on the part of Marlowe - to re-enact a battle between Sherlock Holmes Castle and Moriaty 3XK the doctor of course the "black widow" for those of you who know the older 30's version of the series with Basil Rathbone.
The question becomes who will be the next pawn in this life or death game. Could this be the storyline that pulls in daddy — Jackson Hunt his skills could be useful here and will this be the storyline to take us into season 8?
All and all, I think fans will be in for an exciting season 6 from here to the season's conclusion and we all — including myself have invested in more that our share of popcorn and tissues for Season 7.
