The winter finale for Castle just aired, and while Castle won’t be back until 2013, the episode gave us plenty to talk about.
The episode begins with the death of Santa Claus, which disturbs Castle and adds to his bah-humbug spirit. While Castle loves Christmas and tradition his family has other plans for Christmas. It seems Alexis has finally found a new romantic interest and wants to spend it with him while Martha plans on caroling with friends. But Castle still has Beckett, right? Wrong. Beckett has taken the holiday shift at precinct.
The mystery of Santa’s last flight is finally solved when Beckett and Esposito locate a cherry red helicopter that Santa was killed. The investigation leads them to investigate another Santa Claus who may have been involved but not in the way the team first suspects. Turns out the murdered Santa used to run a company that robbed people of their money and took their homes. He was trying to make things right, and in the process was killed by his wife. Santa number two was the getaway pilot.
With the case resolved the only thing left was to get on with the holiday celebration. Castle is bummed that Beckett won’t be around even though Alexis and Martha have changed their plans to stay with him. Castle decides to head to the precinct to be with Beckett but when he gets to the door Beckett is there. It is a great moment to end on.
The first half of the season has given us so much in terms of Caskett progressing and strong storylines. What does the second half have in store for us? Will we get to meet Alexis’ new man? And according to the brief preview, Castle’s ex returns and causes all kinds of trouble. What are you most looking forward to in 2013?
