But I expect no more major developments on that front until next season.

And I think even that'll be just another step - I don't think we'll know who killed Beckett's mother until the final season. It'll always be a battle.

It's not romance (yet), which is good. But it's finally genuine friendship.

I wanted them to kiss, and then I felt that it was best they didn't. It wouldn't have been right. I did think that the fact that Castle offered to leave said a lot.

I actually liked the dynamic between everyone in this. It was very well done.
