"unless you want it messy" pregnant woman and bathroom break request taken straight out of Die Hard. :blush:
If there ever was an episode that screamed for a two parter this was it. The ending was soooo rushed.
Still, not a single kiss and not even a hug! Beckett you beautiful marble.

That was a really good episode, with a very, very, very dumb plot behind it. I mean... come on.
A woman fakes her own death to hide from his abusive husband. Ok, I guess.
Except she can't leave her mother behind, so they think of a mail delivery system via... a priest, and a safety deposit box. What the fork? Have you heard of the Internet? Email? Whatsapp?
The abusive husband, somehow (?) finds out that she's alive, and that she kept contact with her mother, and the deposit box stuff.
However, he can't make the mother talk, and by some reason, he's unable to stake out the bank and figure out who's delivering the letters, or hire a P.I., or something.
So... decides to hire some mercs to rob the bank instead. And concocts a plan with some C4, and a fake epilepsy attack, to get the mercs killed and erase all his tracks. Kind of weird that he didn't make any attempt at all to hide his tracks when he killed his mother in law, though...
Honestly, this must be the most stupid plot in any Castle episode, ever. Thankfully, we only learn about it all in the last 5 minutes, and the rest is quite good. Overall, better than most episodes, even with the dumb story.
