Castle season 6, episode 12 sees the return of James Brolin as Rick’s mysterious father who works for the C.I.A. It will be the first time Jackson Hunt (Brolin) meets Kate.
Tonight’s episode is only the second time we have seen Rick’s dad, and from the trailer it looks to be quite the reunion. While investigating a case, Rick and Kate pull the name Anderson Cross off the dead guy’s computer. Rick and Kate go to the office to question Mr Cross. Rick gets a call from his father, which is completely out of blue. Rick’s father tells him not to react: “Lives are at stake, don’t react.” Rick then sees his father walk in as Anderson Cross. When Kate is out of hearing range, Rick says, “Dad!” Rick’s father replies, “Not a word.”
This week’s episode of Castle looks to keep up the intensity. Last week’s episode saw an emotional story arc for Ryan and Eposito as they were caught in a fire. Ryan’s wife gave birth outside in an ambulance thinking her husband was going to die. This week will hopefully be able to infuse a little more laughter as the material lends itself to that.
One area that could use some humor is the reunion between Martha and Hunt. Brolin spoke with TV Guide Magazine about their reunion.
“We have a nice scene where you can feel us being pulled together, and yet she’s going “f— you” at the same time,” he said. Brolin went on to say about his characters arc, “I feel very clear about him not being your ideal person in life. He’s saved a lot of lives and done the world a lot of good — because he loves to kill. I like the simile to [Showtime’s serial killer] Dexter, although Dexter does it illegally and Jackson is hired by America.”
With that chilling thought, what do you expect will happen in season 6, episode 12 of Castle?
