Spoiler - do not read if you haven't watched the Episode yet:

Not a bad Episode. I liked it but it wasn't as extraordinary as some of the other Episodes before. Sorry Terri, I still loved it though. ;) One thing I liked a lot was the fact that this Episode had a lot of scenes with Molly Quinn (who is very talented). Seeing Alexis breaking up with her boyfriend Ashley only because he doesn't want to go to Stanford because of her... was heartbreakingly. I mean, seriously, how awesome is that? Also a little stupid hehe but okay still very noble. I always love the Castle & Alexis moments. They are always so cute together.

Beckett and Castle had also some sweet moments. I often got the feeling that Beckett is almost ready to tell Castle about her feelings. Castle seems to just wait it out... he's just showing up until she realizes that she wants him too. :) What Castle said about Alexis and Ashley totally hit home with Beckett. ;)

Ryan and Esposito were as always awesome. I love them and would also love to get more of them. They always make me giggle. ;D

I missed Tamala Jones as Lanie in this Episode though. :( Glad she said she will be back next week.

I'm very excited for the Finale. But also a little sad cuz that means there won't be any new Castle for 4 months. How am I going to survive that? Oh yes, do some writing myself. :D

So I give this Episode ★★★★☆

Very well written Episode with lots of awesome dialog. :) So thanks Terri for a great Episode. :)

Quotes from this Episode:

Castle: "Relationships aren't math problems. You don't solve them by being practical. I mean, what happens when she meets her soulmate, but she doesn’t risk it because it’s not practical."

Castle: "What was your talent?"
Martha: "The way I wore a sweater."

Castle: "Just because you're smart and beautiful doesn't mean you have good judgement."

Esposito: “I checked the sequin against all their dresses.”

Castle: “I bet you did."
Esposito: “And none of them are a match."
Beckett: “OK, look at the footage from the dinner. Make sure that the dresses we checked are the ones they actually wore."
Esposito: “Hmm. Watch a parade of beautiful women in evening attire? Yeah, I can do that."
Castle: “I bet you can."
Ryan: “Hey, so I’ve been interviewing these ladies…"
Castle: “I bet you did."

Castle:“The best thing to give a woman is something she said she wanted when she didn’t think you were listening.”

Montgomery: “What if you weren’t listening?"
Castle: “Gift certificate?"

Ryan: “What the hell did you say to him?”

Castle: “Nothing. I just told him to listen to what his wife wanted…"
Esposito: “Damn, Castle."

Castle:“You know I hate to interfere...”

Alexis: “Since when?"
Castle: “Point taken."

Beckett: “Captain Montgomery retires all the time. He’s like the Brett Favre of the NYPD.”
