Aw, Becks. Look at you defending Castle and stuff :D
Excuse me, but this is SCREAMING subtext.
Totally made me flashback to the scene in Rise when he walks into his office and pulls up his Beckett Board and starts looking at all the pieces. Perhaps it’s an allusion to him finding that missing piece regarding her mom’s murder later in the season…
See what I heard in this scene was, “What’s wrong with you? My boyfriend is awesome. LIKE HIM!”
THAT ^
THAT COMMENT.
I love the little gulp before hand… like… ‘I can’t believe I’m saying this out loud’ crossed with ‘Please don’t shoot me down again you vile woman!’
