Castle Season 5 Episode 5 “Probable Cause” Live Recap 10/29/12
Tonight on ABC Castle returns after a one week hiatus with a whole new episode called “Probable Cause.” On tonight’s show the team is shocked when Castle emerges as the lead suspect in a bizarre murder. Did you see last week’s premiere episode? We did and we have a full and detailed recap here for you.
On last week’s show Castle and Beckett’s plans for a romantic weekend in the Hamptons was interrupted when a dying man stumbled into Castle’s backyard, collapsing into his pool. Unable to escape the lure of the investigation they joined up with the small town’s well-intentioned, but inexperienced sheriff to find the killer.
On tonight’s show while investigating a shocking ritualistic murder, Beckett and her team uncover surprising evidence linking Castle to the killing. As the evidence against him mounts, loyalties are tested, and when surprising revelations come to light, Beckett begins to wonder how well she really knows her new lover and partner of four years.
Guest starring on tonight’s show Alexa Havins as Elle Daniels, Romi Dias as ADA Toni Gonzalez, Gerald Downey as Lloyd Kurtzman.
Tonight’s episode is going to be great and you won’t want to miss it. So be sure to tune in for our live coverage of ABC’s Castle tonight at 10PM EST!

This episode sucked. It was the worst they have ever done. Why?
1) We knew from the previews that Castle would be accused of murder, and five minutes in, during the guest star list, what actor’s name do I see but Michael Mosley – so know we know 3XK is the main baddie.
2) Despite the fact we know this, the episode spent the first ¾ of the show on the idea that Castle is looking guiltier and guiltier. That part should have been over by the ¼ mark, certainly by the halfway mark. I watch to see them solving cases over the hour, not to see them failing to do so.
3) So the baddie is revealed within the show (bet they wished THEY could have seen the credits 45 minutes ago), and what happens? Do we get the final showdown we deserved after making it through this grueling episode? No. Oh sure, Castle shoots at the guy, and he goes into the river, but guess what? Yup, no body. After putting up with the crapfest, we don’t even get the baddie.
4) And to rub salt in the wound, Castle figures out that this WHOLE thing was just so that the world would finally believe that 3XK is dead, so he can go back to killin’ folk. Yep, that’s right, this whole hour has been the story of 3XK’s triumph, with Castle and Beckett as supporting characters in the 3XK show.
I wanted to shoot my TV.
This is the kind of episode that makes think, why would I ever give my brain and my precious time to writers that are trying to force feed me such a turd of a story? Most of the time, I give the show a hearty “screw you too” and stop watching.
On account of how this show had the nerve to “go there” with Castle and Becket’s relationship, I will give it ONE free pass. But anymore fecal matter like this and it’s going right in the toilet, where it belongs.
I do know this: the next time 3XK shows up, he better *&$^& die in the episode – or I will wish the same for the writers and showrunners.
