The following story contains numerous spoilers from this Monday's episode of ABC's Castle.After three seasons of intrigue about the murder of Beckett&8217;s mother (and even more torturous &8220;Will they/Won&8217;t they?&8221; sexual tension between the two leads), Monday&8217;s season finale of Castle finally offered up some confessions. With trained killer Lockwood on the loose, Beckett plunged back into her mother&8217;s case &8212; much to the chagrin of all the important men in her life. First, her father showed up at Castle&8217;s door and begged him not to let her throw her life away. Like Captain Montgomery, he knew that Castle was the only one who could get Beckett to stand down. She cares about you, Rick, he told him. And unless you&8217;re a lot dumber than you look, I know you care about her.

Castle let it be known just how much he cares by trying to convince Beckett to let go of the case before she got herself killed. And if not for herself, then do it for the ones who love her, like Josh. (If he loves her so much, where is he?) When Beckett asked about Castle&8217;s own intentions, he replied, Of course I don&8217;t want anything to happen to you. I&8217;m your partner. I&8217;m your friend.
