First off, interesting that the couple name actually has something to do with murder mysteries (Caskett = funeral casket). Just sayin’.
Second, that was half of a fantastic season finale. Oddly, just like The Avengers, the greatness from the characters interacting covered up a really thin plot but who really cares? It was great! So much to love in this finale:
· The acting during the laying bare of the secrets. It could’ve easily been bombastic and over the top but instead it just all came out naturally
· The kiss, of course, and the hand grabbing leading to the bedroom presumably
· The split between Ryan and Esposito based solely on professional and completely valid differences of opinion and was totally believable; I liked that Ryan was the only voice of reason but the way he was acting made me wonder if his character had also been contacted like Castle and struck a deal to protect Kate
· Gates justifiably giving Esposito and Beckett crap for withholding info and going off as rogue cowboys
