Oh this episode is going to be so good, my fellow Castle fans. Ever since it was announced there would be an episode where Castle would be held hostage, I have been insanely excited about it. Just think of all the repercussions this scenario could possibly have. Castle in danger, Beckett not knowing what happened to him? Oh, the possibilities!
I was already really looking forward to episode 7 of season 4 - titled "Cops & Robbers" and scheduled to air on October 31st - because, you know, it is just a really juicy plotline that could really help move Castle and Beckett's relationship the story along. That was before I saw the promotional pictures for the episode. My excitement now? Through the roof. I am actually half dreading it now because I am afraid it might not live up to my expectations, but come on. Have you seen those pictures?
We know that Castle is going to be in the bank with his mother when a hostage situation occurs. From the photos, it looks like Detective Kate Beckett will be doing a ride-along with the paramedics, which is actually surprising and sounds really cool.
This episode is going to be so good. I can feel it.
CASTLE - "Cops & Robbers" -- When Castle and Martha are taken hostage by a crew of bank robbers dressed in hospital scrubs and using classic television doctor names (Trapper John M.D., Dr. Huxtable, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and Dr. Doogie Howser), Beckett finds herself on the outside, desperately trying to rescue them -- which proves to be even more difficult with a by-the-book hostage negotiator (guest star Dean Norris, "Breaking Bad") watching her every move. Castle becomes the de facto leader of the hostages, which includes Barry Livingston ("My Three Sons"), and discovers that the robbery is actually a skillfully orchestrated distraction for an even more sinister plan. But with Castle stuck on the inside and Beckett on the outside, will either be able to foil the bank robbers' plans before it is too late? "Castle" airs MONDAY, OCTOBER 31 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/MITCH HADDAD) NATHAN FILLION, SUSAN SULLIVAN

ok ,this episode looks insane.I need it now.
From the looks of the sequence, she may be impersonating a P/M to try and gain entry. The real intriguing photos' are those of C/B sharing wine in his condo in casual attire.
Bar the doors I hear the charge of the shippers!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!! This episode looks incredible and the wine sharing kinda looks like they are celebrating after Beckett saved him and Martha from the bank robbers!!! I LOVE CASTLE
Finally scenes with Beckett and Alexis. LONG OVERDUE! Thank you powers that be!
There are no words for my excitement about this episode. NO WORDS!
OH MY GOODNESS I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS EPISODE. Stana looks gorgeous, as always. I would be jealous if I wasn't so in love with her.
The candy will be in a bucket on the front stairs, kids. Don't bother ringing the bell. Nobody's coming to the door. Can't WAIT!
great ! Castle and Beckett in the bed now
Shut the Front Door!!! My shipper heart is racing! I can't wait!
i'm waiting for that wine scene…hope it's the next level….high time…
Why were the pictures of them drinking the wine together removed?? Please tell me it's not because it was cut from episode.
We were asked to take them down. They were released by accident. That does not mean it was cut, though.
but they allowed the one of her at castle's holding 2 glasses of wine stay?
Yup.
Frankly I'm just sick and tired of them just looking at each other and am kinda hoping as a hard core shipper myself that they put in a hug or a kiss when Castle comes out , like a run and grab Rick hard hug type thing and not the usual just stand there and look at each "google" eyes. I' prefer a bit of contact between R/K now I mean if the love each other so much it would make sense to express that after a hostage situation with a hug or a kiss?
I know Alexis would be really freaked and worried about Dad and want to hug him as well but hope that R/K get some physical contact in here.
If you ever saw the series wire in the blood S1 Ep 1 right at the very end where Carol just grabbed Tony and hugged him hard after his hostage scene would be what I mean :)
