Castle season 6, episode 23 just aired. Read our recap and discuss the final shocking moments.
Castle opens with Alexis trying to help keep Rick organized with things for the wedding. Kate is talking with Ryan and Esposito about being nervous to say her vows in front of everyone. Gates chimes in, saying its ok to be nervous, even if she is marrying Rick.
Rick and Kate head to city hall to get their wedding license and things quickly fall apart. Kate is actually married. Kate married a man named Rogan O’Leary, who she met at Stanford and married in Vegas at a drive through chapel. In order for Kate and Rick to get married, she needs to end her first marriage.
Kate enlists the help of Ryan and Esposito to find her husband so she can get a divorce. Rogan is less than a stellar citizen, with arrests in several states. Rick stays in the city to keep the wedding on track while Kate heads out to get divorced.
Rogan is tending bar and having trouble with the ladies when Kate finds him. He won’t sign the papers until Kate does something for him. She has to break into his ex’s truck and get a garage door opener so Rogan can get his things back. Kate is determined to get Rogan to sign the papers, but when she turns up at his apartment, he is being kidnapped by someone.
When Kate reports Rogan missing, the officer laughs and says he will turn up in a few days. Rick insists on meeting up with Kate to help her. Right before he leaves, Rick finds out the venue for the wedding has been destroyed. Some people would take this as a sign. Alexis comes up with a plan to have the wedding at their house in the Hamptons.
Kate and Rick visit Rogan’s ex to find out who may have taken him. It turns out that Rogan knew he was married to Kate and had been using it as an excuse to not marry. Kate and Rick go to Rogan’s apartment to see if there are any clues. When they enter the apartment, they are greeted by a biker gang.
The gang is after money and they discover that Kate is his wife and want her to pay them. They stole a stripper’s phone for Rogan, but no one knows why. When they go to visit the stripper, she insists that no one stole her phone.
Kate gets a phone call from Laine telling her that her dress was ruined from a burst pipe. Let’s be honest: is anyone really upset that dress was ruined? Kate is questioning getting married, but Rick convinces her that their love story is epic.
Kate and Rick discover that the reason Rogan wanted the stripper’s phone was for the pictures on it. There were photos of the local pastor at the strip club enjoying the ladies. It seems Rogan may have been planning to blackmail the pastor, giving him motive to have Rogan kidnapped.
Kate and Rick go to visit the pastor. He mentions being blackmailed and explains to Kate and Rick he was going to pay Rogan. It seems Rogan was hi-jacking Sapphire’s blackmail scheme. They find Rogan in a barn where Kate tries to force him to sign the papers. Rick and Rogan share some fun banter until they discover Rogan stole more than pictures of the pastor.
It turns out that Rogan stumbled upon pictures of a mob hit man who evaded capture for decades. As they quickly try to leave the barn, they are caught at gunpoint. The three end up tied to chairs. Rogan tries to explain his reasoning for blackmailing the pastor.
Barbosa, the hit man, turns up and insists on getting the photos. He is going to shoot Kate until Rick speaks up and tells him the photos are at Rogan’s apartment. When they arrive, the biker gang is waiting. Kate trades Barbosa for their freedom. Rogan finally signs the papers and Rick gives him the money from the pastor. In the end Rogan ends up with his ex and Kate and Rick head to the Hamptons.
Kate ends up wearing her mother’s wedding dress. Martha and Kate share a moment discussing Rick. Martha gives her a pair of sapphire earrings that have been passed down through the women in her family. Rick calls Kate to tell her they are all set and that he loves her. Cue uneasy feelings.
Right after the phone call, a black SUV is seen following Rick and challenging him. The final scene is Kate getting a phone call and running to the scene of an accident, which shows Rick’s car in flames.
