If this is the level of angst to be maintained for the rest of the season I’m not sure I can survive it. Holy hell, my heart hurts. She remembers it all?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Guh. But the scene on the swings ♥ ♥ ♥ Kate was totally saying it to Rick-telling him that she needs to break down that wall before she can be with him. And him saying they’d work on the wall together? Oh my, my fangirl heart.
I’m a little bit mad at Kate for not just going for it now that she knows for sure how he feels. But I suppose given the context it does make sense. And of course it wouldn’t provide nearly enough juicy heart-wrenching drama for the rest of the season if she just woke up post-surgery and was like ‘OMG, Castle loves me, my life is awesome!’ Speaking of Kate, she was just breaking my heart. She’s so torn up, and a mess and I just want to hug her. Or better yet, I want Castle to hug her.
And even though I get that she’s hurting and confused and has emotional turmoil up the wazoo, but I can’t believe she left him waiting so long. 3 months?! He left her waiting for a few weeks after the Hamptons and she was devastated. She was on the receiving end and should know how it feels. :(
All the tension and drama in the opening scene though-ugh, perfect! The fight that almost broke out in the hospital, with Alexis lunging for Josh? Just, yes. Kate has so many people who love her and were there for her immediately. I wonder if she fully realizes that…
The only thing that bothered me with the first scene was the fact Lanie was wearing gloves. Yes, I realize that when doing CPR on someone you’re supposed to, but think about it… Where did she get them? Did she just have some on her at the funeral? I’m sure she’s a smart practical woman, but does she really carry them in her purse? She sees her best friend taken down by a sniper, and presumably once it’s all clear she runs up and checks on Kate right away because she has an MD. I don’t think she had the time to think about gloves. And even if she did, I doubt she had them. And I can’t see Lanie waiting to do CPR until the ambulance arrived. I don’t know, just a little tiny detail that bothered me.
Also, is it just me, or did Alexis’ face look rounder than usual? Not in a bad way at all, just more round. And as always I just love Alexis’ scenes with Castle. She just loves him so damn much. ♥
