Did tonight’s Castle explain invisibility? And did our two heroes finally make time for each other? Find out below!

Let’s just get right to it, guys. With the episode starting off with what we can only assume every #Caskett fan is always wanting more of, aka #CaskettSexyTime, you know it’s going to be good. Or at least there is talk about who wants it and why they have been waiting for the other person to make the move. SOMEONE MAKE THE MOVE. It’s all very banter-y and quippy and when they finally decide to “do something,” they of course get interrupted by a case. CURSE YOU, MURDER. We were all “sooo ready” and now they have to go solve a case.

With promises to pick things up where they left off, Castle and Beckett head to the crime scene of the deceased William Fairway. Ryan arrives late and apparently smells like wine. Is this important? We will find out. Our victim is an avid gamer with his neighbor and Castle respects that. (DIED.) Oh and he’s also a pool shark. He’s pretty good it turns out, but he has been hustling at the wrong places according to his high scale friend whose club he used to play at until recently. Fairway supposedly made a deal with the “Devil” and that his time was up, so there goes his soul. And Castle is hooked.

Tory is back! Hey, Tory! Can we get an actual storyline for her if we know her name? Just a thought. And we have our first “glimpse” of our invisible man opening the victim’s door. We wonder how hard it is for Stana Katic to pull up her “I can’t explain what I just saw/heard but I am skeptical” face. Girl has got that down pat. And here comes the skepticism! Right on cue. Are Kate and Rick using potential theories to turn each other on? We think so! And foiled again. “Lanie!” Nathan Fillion is nailing these deliveries tonight, as always.

And we have our first plausible suspect for our “ghost.” There will probably be another one. It’s never the first guy. We could tell you the code to crack who the killer is, but that would ruin the fun. But it is correct 90% of the time. We digress. Will potentially broke into an upscale brownstone penthouse and the owner is still in the hospital but refused to give a statement. Why? Oh, well an invisible force attacked him. Our victim saved the owner from the “force.” The video footage is now missing. Castle moves on from the Devil to the new theory of “The Invisible Man.” Much better.

Now all of our video footage has been erased and Kate is pissed and also not interested in Castle’s theories. Rude, Kate. A recent girlfriend has popped back up in Will’s life and we find out he has been acting SUPER paranoid. But his death might actually back up his past and current paranoia. Not enough to convince our team, though. There is a lot of talk about a mysterious key card which leads us to potentially the best scene of the episode. We’re going to just leave this here:

Basically, we have our first AWESOME encounter with the “invisible man” and Castle proves once again he is always right and also an awesome asset, having saved their only lead.

Apparently Kate lied! Yes! Go, Kate! Embrace the unexplainable. And also embrace the sexy time you are about to get. Except they’re interrupted again. This time, though, it appears their recent encounter is the cause. But hilarity ensues when Martha gets caught in his sexy nerd trap.

What is going on with Ryan? He’s bouncing at a club to earn extra money for his kid. HA! It’s a male strip club. So perfect. And can we just say we are so envious of Kate’s work apparel. And behind door #3 is a really weird white office and the lady loves Kate’s jacket too! And they just got ambushed. Didn’t see that coming. Castle says “invisibility serum” and that perks up the operation. Castle is correct: some kind of government facility and Will was recruited. But it’s not an invisibility serum but rather it’s cloaking of some kind. But they didn’t get the technology to work, so who did? The Chinese. So much being thrown out at us. OHHH. Guess who it is, guys? The neighbor.

The neighbor is a hacker and figured out how Will used the suit/technology to hustle pool. He also had it in for the previously attacked penthouse owner. How will they find him? Castle lures him out by playing the game he stated he played earlier. And also stops him with a sword. Oh, Captain Tightpants. He claims not to have killed him, just used the suit to help fuel his old vendetta. Ha, Lord of the Ring reference, and we’re really upset Castle isn’t interrogating to see his facial reaction. Oh wow, didn’t see that coming! It was the girlfriend! He was using her research of squids to help finish the cloaking project and out comes the crazy girlfriend reasoning. It’s never ok to kill an ex, you guys. Just an FYI. Crazy cloaking suit hijinks ensue.

And we finally get sexy time. Off screen. Boo.

Side Notes and Quotes:

– Worth mentioning one more time: Castle’s “respect” delivery and hand gesture.

– “What would you do if you were attacked by an invisible demonic force?” “I’d tell Ryan to lay off the bean burritos at lunch.” OH SNAP.

– “You collapsed the foam.”

– “Excuse me, cuddle fish don’t like that.”

– “Did the invisible man just goose you?” “Castle.”

– “And you thought Zombie Apocolypse Survival Camp was a waste of time.”

– “You just make nerdy kinda… sexy.” “That’s true.” SWOON.

– “Too big?”

What did you think of ‘Castle’ season 7, episode 3?

Next week has Castle dealing with a classroom full of children. Will this deter the duo from one day having their own? Not likely, but it should be good to watch! Have a great week and look for news on episode 4 of Castle later in the week!
