Based on episode 5- "Anatomy of a Murder"
Disclaimer: See previous chapters, nothing has changed
Oh totally off topic…but how epic was the Fringe season 3 final? OMG! There are too many emotions for me to come to grips with. I can't even imagine what Andrew Marlowe has in store for us with Castle.
Chapter 10- Castle
It was strange to him that Alexis was going to get manicures, pedicures and massages with Gina; what was stranger was that his mother was going with them. He was always of the understanding that his mother hated Gina, especially seeing that she was his ex-wife-come-girlfriend. That even that sounded weird to him. It was also bizarre that Alexis, his baby girl was talking about having a song with her boyfriend, and that they were kissing. Shudders ran up his spine. He so did not want to think about that at all. The mention of "You shook me all night long" was a definite comeback; see how his mother and Alexis like that one.
Trust Beckett to come up with a song for them; "You talk too much" by Clarence Carter, really? That was a little mean, surely there had to be something better than that. The fact that the Taylor Swift tickets came in to him at the precinct stopped him from even concentrating on figuring out a better song. Alexis was going to love him even more than she did before, that he was sure of.
Castle had always been a fan of hospital dramas, whether it is 'Grey's Anatomy', 'ER' or even 'Scrubs' and 'MASH'. When he found out that Motorcycle Boy was actually Doctor Motorcycle Boy, he was crushed. Yeah making waffles in the morning just wasn't as awesome as performing open heart surgery and saving someone's life. Way to make him feel useful, Beckett. To top it off, she had to turn up right at the moment where he was complaining to Ryan about the nurse not actually sleeping with the women he spent so much time listening to. What a great way to get Beckett offside with him again. That was not the attitude he wanted to get across to her at that particular time.
Castle's day just kept on getting worse; Gina stole his hero moment, as she bluntly put it to him. She got a hold of front row tickets and backstage passes for both Alexis and Ashley and he got mad. He was not having a good day at all; especially with the ladies. It was a complete turn-around from how he was a few years back, before he met Beckett and when he didn't think twice about picking up a random woman. Now, he was trying to get on the good side of one while trying to keep the other one from kicking him to the curb again. He wasn't sure which woman they each were though. Beckett and Gina…why was his life so complicated?
An up-side to Castle's fame was that he had fans in unlikely places. Cesar Calderon was one of the most unusual ones. A murderer and leader of a drug cartel; things never ceased to amaze him.
He loved that Beckett always was interested in Alexis. They didn't interact as much as he'd like, but she always made sure to ask him about her. He found it comforting knowing that his daughter had someone else that she could turn to if he wasn't around. She even stood up for Gina when he thought she had gone behind his back. Gina was right, he did build up walls around Alexis and they're both outsiders. He really did act like an ass, but he just wants his little girl for himself; sharing her with anyone is not really an option. So why doesn't he feel that way when Beckett intervenes?
'The Galaxy of Greg' made Castle laugh but also found the whole thing endearing in a way. Nurse Greg went out of his way to concoct an elaborate plan to bust his girlfriend out of jail. His mother was right, that was true love. However, in her typical way, she turned it back on to him. Would he really be willing to break Gina out of jail? Would anyone break him out? Esposito sure wouldn't. Then Beckett surprised him; she would get him out. What did that all mean? She practically had to shake him out of his stupor to get him moving again. Kate Beckett was a mystery that he was going to solve one day and he hoped that their story got a happy ending. Gina was just a distraction for the moment until it gets written.
I'm trying to get these chapters done as fast as I can. I will get the whole season done by the start of season 4, hopefully. Feel free to kick me along if I'm going too slowly.
