The Hollywood Reporter: What should we expect for Alexis in the season finale?
Molly Quinn: Alexis is trying to convince her dad that it is OK for her to take a trip to Costa Rica and her dad, of course, is very uncomfortable with that considering what happened to her earlier this season with her being kidnapped and everything. Alexis is trying to reassert her independence because after that whole experience, her dad is much more overprotective. I mean, Alexis was still shocked -- she would be after that traumatic situation -- but now she's like, "Hmm, this isn't good. I can't let him think that we're reverting back to being 14. I'm 19, going on 20, I need to take this trip because I can't let my fears conquer me."
THR: How successful does she get to convincing her dad?
Quinn: [Laughs] She's 100 percent successful. What Alexis wants, Alexis gets, and it's not because she's a brat -- she's like her dad, she knows how to turn a phrase. At the same time, he knows she has a good head on her shoulders. She always has and always will.
THR: Can you tease a scene from the finale?
Quinn: In the season finale, we return to the swing set. It's in a very pretty park and they (Castle and Beckett) are both sitting on a swing set. For me, it shows how great the beginning of their relationship was and that they're still holding onto that. That scene represents hope for their relationship.
