Line 3:
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: In "Knockdown", Beckett confronts Castle and tells him to stop shadowing her for his own safety. He promptly tells her no and that he's not going anywhere because he's her plucky side kick. Beckett says the plucky sidekick always gets killed and Castle responds by sitting down on her couch in front of the window, easily in sight of a sniper if there had been one, and calmly says: "Your partner, then." Thus proving that Castle understands the weight of his decision to continue with such a dangerous case and that he's not afraid of dying.
* I have only just started watching ''[[Castle]]'', but has noticed that in several of the episodes watched thus far, Castle and Beckett often seem to wear clothing that coordinates together very well in style, but tends to look quite different in fabric and colour; a subtle way of establishing and underscoring that whilst they're quite different on the surface, once you look closer they nevertheless mesh together very well in many ways perhaps? ~ [[Tropers/Doctor Nemesis|Doctor Nemesis]]
** Also, it took me a while to realize that Beckett usually wears something red and Castle something blue, but when you see her sporting blue, sit tight, because the episode will be a serious one (as much as it gets in this show anyway). This often overlaps with a [[Wham! Episode]] - Alantia
* [[Fridge Brilliance]] / [[Fridge Horror]]: Of a sort; at the end of "Countdown", {{spoiler|when the bomb is seconds from exploding}} Agent Fallon tells Castle and Beckett over the phone that he's sorry he can't help them. By itself, this would be a terrible thing to have to do, admit you're powerless to help someone when they're on the phone desperately needing your help. And then, you remember that earlier in the episode, Ryan revealed that Fallon's wife died on 9/11... and that his last moments with her were talking to her on his cellphone moments before the second tower collapsed. Anyone want to guess what Agent Fallon is feeling at that particular moment?
Line 11:
** {{spoiler|Not just a parent but a personal hero as well. Montgomery was one of a few people that Kate really looked up to. Royce, her mom, Montgomery. And all three of them taken away from her violently and suddenly. Only with Montgomery, as mentioned, she could have saved him.}}
*** {{spoiler|And that's ''exactly'' why Castle was whispering, "I'm sorry" so fiercely to her after he carried her out of the warehouse. He knew that she wanted to save Montgomery more than anything, but it would risk her life and neither of them could let it happen.}}
*** There's also the fact that {{spoiler|Castle easily carries Beckett away. Sure, he is bigger and heavier than her, but he's a writer, she's a trained cop, and she was shown in previous episodes easily overpowering suspects much bigger than her}}. At first it seems to be a usual case of Chickification, until you realize that {{spoiler|Castle is desperately trying to save her life. She undoubtedly knows that, which means that she knows that he won't let her go and unless she knocks him out cold or inflicts crippling pain, he'll just go back and try to grab her to safety again. Sure, she's ''physically'' capable of doing just that - except that it means that to have a shot at saving her mentor she would have to give Castle}} [[No
*** Since we're talking [[Fridge Brilliance]] here, don't forget: Montgomery also is the only friend she has who knows the entire solution to the mystery of her mother's murder. His death isn't just the loss of a friend/boss/mentor, it's also her best chance at solving the case that defines her.
* In "Knockout", Montgomery discusses the first time he met Beckett; he mentions he was working late and going down to the records room to check out "some old files" when he encountered Beckett looking into her mother's murder files. {{spoiler|In light of later revelations about him being the third cop involved in the events that led to Beckett's mother's death, what are the odds that he was going down there to alter files that might implicate him in that?}}
