Working Out the Kinks
In “The Mistress Always Spanks Twice,” Beckett notices that the cuffs found at a murder scene are custom-made and may be easy to trace. Castle wants to know how she knows the bondage bracelets are custom-made. The two partners muse about the psychology of domination and submission and the inevitable comparison to their own relationship. Castle thinks Beckett’s the punisher and he’s punishee. But Beckett has a list of grievances that may prove otherwise. It started the first day they met.
