I never even try to solve the cases. I just enjoy watching it all unfold and most often, I like to enjoy the performances of the guests. I especially liked the Wall St. tycoon and the gang member who was obviously moved by the death of his friend. I thought that Gates' sister was well cast too. They looked pretty similar if you account for an age difference and they sure both had the intensity that would have gotten them where they are today.
I liked how we were kept in the dark about the rift between the sisters during the first half. Of course, Castle was anxious to get the story but it was a great scene in the break room when Victoria opened up to Kate. It speaks volumes of the trust Gates has in Kate now. I guess it was fairly predictable, since this IS Castle, that we'd have a happy resolution to the difference between the sisters, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable to see happen. Penny did such a wonderful job throughout the episode with the gamut of emotions she had to show. The scene where the sisters confronted each other angrily was so good but I especially liked the silent scene, alone in her office, when Gates was contemplating calling Elizabeth. This show is blessed with so much talent in the supporting cast!
In terms of the back story with Gates, I liked that her character was always consistent. She was by-the-book back then in IA and was still prepared to do her job properly this time too, even though it might have further damaged her relationship with Elizabeth. I also liked how well the title of the episode was woven into the story line. I'm a sucker for meaningful titles.
I'm also a sucker for grammar and literary references so the opening scene was fun with writer- man talking metaphors and Kate doing an impromptu Dr. Seuss bit. I was geeking out!
Of course, Castle couldn't let the roller coaster idea go and tried to disguise it as "intimate," but Kate knows him so well! Thank goodness for Ryan and his weak stomach, which seemingly ended that train of thought. The middle scene was precious as Martha went from being their unbiased help to a part of the problem in a heartbeat. That woman can take the smallest moment on camera and make something wonderful out of it. I appreciated the fun continuity of mentioning Aunt Theresa and her Facebook comment again. So they're looking at 582 guests, which brings us to the closing scene.Kate nailed it by asking the question - why are we doing this? - and they're both on the same page in agreeing that it should be for them. As they try to write down only the people who they wouldn't be happy without including, it gets pretty simple. YOU. sigh ............ I LOVE the fact that this time Castle initiates the kisses by taking Kate's head and pulling her in for the kisses!
Those two have got this couple thing down to perfection IMO! Even though they start to make a list again, I'm more than ever convinced that we truly are going to see a simpler wedding, surrounded by the people they love, and truly intimate in every way. Bring it on Mr.Marlowe!

Enjoyed all the twist and turns of TCOTW. P.J.J. really got to shine in this one and she came through for the team. Stana just gets better looking as time goes by. She's blessed that way!
Last night's show really did give all of the cast members some decent screen time and I love that because they're all so enjoyable to watch.

So, we finally have reference to more of Kate's family. Aunt Teresa. Which side? Mom or Dad? I hope Johanna's side cause then Kate would have her mom's sister there.
