If you don't remember, season 6 finale left us with Richard Caslte heading to his wedding to Katherine Beckett. On his way over, he sees himself being followed by a black SUV. Not soon after that Beckett gets a call and we then see Castle's car engulfed in flames at the bottom of a ditch.
The premiere starts pretty much exactly after we left off in the season 6 finale. Espo, Ryan, Martha and Alexis are all gathered around the accident site. As seen in the short promo for the new season, Beckett soon discovers that Castle is not in thus car. Thus begins the search for Richard Castle. As Kate begins following the evidence in search of Castle, she does a great job of composing herself. However, when she finds a potential suspect, she tries every means possible to get the information she needs him.
As the case progresses, Captain Gates suggests that Beckett let the FBI assist her in the case, which she grudgingly agrees. When FBI's Agent Connors played by Jon Lindstrom) asks Beckett to make of list of all the people from her and Castle's cases who could be involved in the abduction, naturally, the first people who come up and Senator Bracken and 3XK. Even Castle's father's name come up, but those are shunned aside, as we expected, since we were assured a new mythology for Castle's disappearance.
The episode sees the return of Vincent "The Scar" Cardano, a character first seen in the season 5 episode "Murder, He Wrote". A meeting with him leads to a crucial piece of evidence which takes the case to a completely new direction, a direction which no one (not even the viewers) would expect.
Now let's talk about the new mythology. I frankly found the new mythology a little underwhelming. However, one thing that I have to say that the writers came up with something that no one would have guessed or expected. It surely is mysterious and will definitely leave everyone talking. It may even divide the fandom on what they think actually happened.
Teasers:
- Castle began writing a novel called Tropical Storm and did extensive research on it, but ultimately scrapped it. Why? You'll find in the episode.
- Someone does an act that Castle usually does, which makes Beckett think that Castle is back.
- Alexis's kidnapping does come up again.
- Someone we met in the episode turns out to be not who he says he is.
- Surprisingly, one character close to Beckett who at least I thought would be seen again, is not seen in the episode.
- The ending will make you see Richard Castle in a new light.
Watch the season premiere of Castle on 29th September on ABC.
