{5\/5} “There’s only two things to do at the docks, kill someone or go fishing. It’s a\u00a0little late to go fishing, isn’t it?”<\/p>\n

Castle and Beckett are finally together, but will it last? And can they keep it a secret from Captain Gates? Beckett finally discovers who’s responsible for her mother’s murder. Following the clues in one murder investigation leads Beckett to the most unexpected suspect — Castle. One of their investigations is recorded by a documentary crew, which Beckett isn’t particularly happy about. Two young women are kidnapped — in a tense 2-part episode — including Alexis. Castle gets a bit of a shock when he runs into his father, whom he’s never met. And Beckett gets a great job offer —\u00a0in another city.<\/p>\n

Castle<\/strong> season 5 just finished.<\/p>\n

Other shows went downhill when the main characters got together. Now that Castle and Beckett are together, did this show go downhill? Not at all — the writers are too smart for that. As in previous seasons<\/a>, the show strikes a unique balance between serious and funny elements.<\/p>\n

The season ends with an exciting episode that will allow the writers to go off in new direction(s) next season.<\/p>\n
