Best of Castle Part 20
Season 5 Episode 14
Valentine's Day was just around the corner at the twelfth precinct in New York City. Rick had a special present for Beckett and wondered how to give it to her.
His worrying was erased when he got a call to meet Kate and the other two detectives at the scene of a murder. It happened to be a character from the reality show, "Housewives of Wall Street".
While they were going over the particulars of the murder Kevin came rushing in. He was late, "Sorry, but Jenny's temperature spiked and I had to fill her with my potent sperm. It's becoming a chore and no longer enjoyable."
Javi stared at him, "TMI, bro, we do not need to hear about that this early in the morning."
They began investigation her background and found out she was having an affair with a star of the show, Penelope's husband. While discussing this, Captain Gates came rushing out of her office. She went on and on about the show. They all found out she was an avid fan of the show. She suddenly paused and stared at them, "Yes I love the show and I believe it is currently the best show on TV."
Later that evening, Rick showed Alexis and his mother the present he purchased for Kate. It was a pair of emerald earrings. Martha loved it and told him to slip the tiny case into her coat pocket when she wasn't looking.
The next day was Valentine Day and Kate, Gates and Castle were in the break room getting coffee and discussing the case. He looked over as Kate was talking to Gates and saw two nearly identical coats there. He noticed Kate's was the longer one and he slyly slipped the tiny earring box into her coat pocket.
A minute later, Gates took her coffee and turned towards Castle, "Excuse me Mr. Castle, I need my suit coat." He moved towards Kate's, but she nodded to it, "You're still in the way."
He let out a gasp and moved. He nearly passed out as he watched Gate pick up the coat that he slipped the earring box in. He watched as she slipped into it and turned to Kate and rolled his eyes. He waited until Gates left the break room. He grabbed Kate by the arms, "I just fucked up! I put your Valentine's Day present in your coat pocket."
She let out a shriek and rushed over to it. She checked the pockets, "I can't find it Castle, what are you talking about?"
He stuttered, "Yeah, about that. I thought your coat was the one Captain Gates just put on."
She let out a shriek, "Why would you do such a stupid thing?"
He groaned out, "They were so much alike and I saw the longer one and I thought it was yours."
She was livid, "If she opened it and sees it's from you, we are through as partners. Did you sign it?"
He stuttered, "Uh, I'm sure I did, but not sure if I put your name on it."
"We have to get it back, or we are through as working partners. Gates will not allow us working together if we are together."
Just then Kevin came stumbling in, late again. "I don't know if I can go on with this. Sex with Jenny is no longer pleasant, it is work and we're fucking so much, she's raw and I can't feel my penis any longer."
Kate shook her head, "If H.R. hears you say that, you'll be out of a job. Keep it between the two of you and please, be on time."
They began working the case and as Kate interviewed several celebrities from the show, Castle and Gates watched from the viewing room. He tried on several tries to pick her pocket, but was unable to get it out of her coat.
They went from one suspect to another and the case nearly solved itself as Margo, another star, her son was secretly in love with Hannah, the victim. He was out on the street trying to convince her to stay with him, but his soon to be bride overheard them. When Margo's son walked away, Ashley, the fiance confronted her and they struggled and Ashley, stabbed her. They found a rare herb on her knife and it matched the herbs she used in her cooking. The arrested her and the case was solved.
Back in the precinct, Kate and Rick were huddled together wondering how to get the case from Gates.
Gates just entered her office. She was glad that the murderer wasn't one of the main characters in the reality show. She removed her coat and swung it around to place it on the back of her desk chair and the earring box tumbled out. She picked it up and opened it. She was in shock as she looked at the incredible earrings. She thought it was from her husband, especially seeing he was out of town on business and this was a pleasant surprise. She opened the note and read the tiny caption. Her jaw dropped as she read it and she sat down in shock.
Out in the squad room Castle and Beckett were waiting for the shoe to drop. Castle kept looking over to Gate's office, but she was busy reviewing cases on her desk.
Kevin came over to them, "Night, guys, Happy Valentine's Day."
Rick tried to harass him, "Ah, once more unto the breach?"
He stopped, "Actually, Jenny just texted me and I have the night off. I mean, well probably, still, you know, but tonight, it'll be for romantic reasons. She told me she would be wearing that pretty red nightie I gave her for Christmas."
Just as he left, Lanie came walking into the squad room and she was dressed to kill. She was wearing a blood red skin-tight dress that ended halfway up her slender thighs and had a plunging neckline that showed off her girls to perfection. Even Kate was staring at her ample breasts Her long black hair was sleek and straight and hung perfectly across the tops of her bulging neckline. The dress was so tight it showed off her extremely tiny waist and gorgeous hips to boot. To finish it off she was also wearing strappy red high heels and it too accented her gorgeous legs.
Kate turned and yelled to Javier, "Hey, Espo, your date's here."
Castle turned to Kate, "I knew they had plans. You know they had plans and you didn't tell me?"
