Romancing the Castle

Holding Hands
In “An Embarrassment of Bitches,” Castle gives Beckett tips on how to care for a canine murder witness named Royal. He shows her how the cute pooch likes to be rubbed by making circles with his thumb on the back of her hand. It starts out as a perfectly innocent moment, but then something happens. The look the two of them share lets us know this hand-holding exercise stirred some feelings inside. Moments later, Beckett is being showered with kisses…from Royal the dog after Castle has left the building.
