Ep 7:

Man comes home. Gets a beer, and a knife is missing. He grabs a bat. No one in the bedroom. Then he's stabbed from behind.

Espo and Ryan in therapy. They're still arguing about Ryan accidentally shooting Espo in the butt. She recommends that they split as partners. They don't want that. She says use a buffer.

Castle says tomorrow is our 1st anniversary and I want to create a little surprise for Beckett. They admit they need someone to be their buffer. They'll help with his surprise.

Murder scene. Lanie says there are 9 entry wounds. The weapon was left there. Espo and Ryan arguing again. Castle suggests role playing to each other's POV. Lanie says she got a hit on the prints.

Kate sees a calendar reminder that tomorrow's her anniversary. Ryan and Espo tell her about the case. Anton and the victim fought repeatedly over women. Hayley arrives for the stolen painting. Kate tells her where. Hayley says it's nice Rick is working cases again. Ooops. Ryan says he's our buffer. And that's our suspect. They are confused how Scott beat up that mountain of a man. Kate says good luck on the interview. Ryan asks her to do it with her. Castle takes Kate's office to set up the surprise.

Anton's very loud. Kate shows him a picture of Scott McCoy. Your fingerprints are all over Scott's apartment. Anton weeps that they're friends. "Oh Scott...."

Castle has confetti and a banner in the office.

Anton says he was the wingman. Scott would come to the girl's "rescue". Scott was into married women. He paid me not to ask.

Espo tries to distract Kate. Ryan says we'll look into Anton's alibi. Ryan says we should get Anton with a sketch artist. Castle sneaks out of the office. Kate goes in there. Castle peeks. Happy anniversary box. With a balloon. Have dinner with me tomorrow? She says this is very sweet, very you, but I don't think that'd be a good idea. She'd love to, you have no idea how much, but I'm worried it'd be unfair. No matter how great dinner would be, I still need the time out. He just wants to have dinner. She says she'd love to. Vikram brings in the financials. The payments line up when Scott picked up women. Vikram rented an expensive place a year ago. What was he in to? Confetti goes off. And the banner. Surprise..... LOL.

Ryan and Espo and Castle at the fancy apartment. Drawers are empty. Espo says maybe this is where he was sleeping with the married women. Castle suggests they write down comments instead of blurting them out. Espo finds a hidden camera. It's wifi enabled. Ryan prints a photo at the printer. Tattoo on the woman. Anton's sketches came in.

Vikram tells Kate that going to dinner is a mistake. She knows the risk. Espo says we got something.

Annika Smythe. She's going through a nasty divorce. So are two other women. They even hang out together. Going to a spa date, even. They band together to kill Scott for ruining their marriages. Kate says you have no proof. Espo says we need to get them on something before they scatter. Kate needs a partner to go to the locker room. Hayley. How about a day the spa?

Spa. The ladies arrive. Kate and Hayley go in the steam room. Hayley suggests getting a tattoo. The ladies say Ivan's a genius. Kate is recognized. Fine. What were your relationships with Scott McCoy? We've got something on one of you. A tattoo on your butt. Lady runs. Kate chases. Grabs the towel off her. Found the tattoo. Hayley wants the number of the tattoo artist. LOL.

Ryan getting Hayley's statement. Espo, too. Kate gives her a voucher for the painting. Espo and Ryan tattle on each other. Castle went home. She says figure this out. Ryan's writing.....Espo's writing......LOL.

Kate and the woman. Our husbands hired Scott to seduce us to divorce us. I didn't kill him. Kate says you were standing outside the building just before Scott was killed. She says the night we had together was special. I went to confront him, but he confessed and apologized. Something upset him on his last job. He'd screwed over a good person and wanted to make it right. Espo says Nancy's driver confirms Scott was alive when she left. Ryan says all the husbands used the same lawyer. Kate will talk to the DA in the morning. Espo and Ryan ponder. Ryan suggests a seduction of our own.

Tell Castle to pose as a divorce client. Martha doesn't think it's a good idea. Alexis asks what do you want him to do? Castle would need to look at the lawyer's log book.

He goes to see Lindsey Trent. She takes him to her office. He's wearing camera glasses.

Kate asks what are they doing? What are you watching? She sees the live stream. Ryan says we were trying to protect you. She says this could blow the entire case!

She watches Castle, though, in her office. Lindsey says you get to choose how this ends. Are you set on divorce or is there still hope? Castle asks for some water. And spills it on her desk. Lindsey leaves to get some towels. Gets a call. DA office was trying to get a warrant for my client log, and that's your wife! Castle is thrown out of the office. Alexis takes photos of the log. In and out as the mailroom girl. Ha!

George Keller is the new suspect. He's used Scott's service before.

Keller is interrogated. Your wife recognized him. Lindsey arrives. Kate asks what's going on here? Lindsey gets mad. Kate counters. Keller says my wife and I are renewing our vows next weekend. And I'm giving her a $2 million ring.

Kate asks Espo and Ryan to tell her about Keller's alibi. Kate says her gut is hiding something. Castle offers to put some feelers out. Says Ryan and Espo will work it out. They they hear them yelling at each other. They want new partners! We can't leave them like this. Rain check on dinner?

Castle talks to Ryan. Kate talks to Espo. She says a strong relationship can survive anything. Castle says no relationship survives secrets and lies. They both say you need to apologize. And let it go. Ryan and Espo say they can't.

Castle gets a call from Francis. George is involved in a fight with Penelope, his mother. He hired Scott.

Kate talks to her. She had no idea her son hired Scott. George wants to send manufacturing overseas. She considers their people family. Kate says Scott wanted to change his ways. She says I couldn't find my card key to the office. Maybe Scott took it?

It was used that night. Espo says it doesn't match the facts. Scott left at 11:40. Keller left at 3am. Kate asks Espo to get phone records.

Espo and Ryan talk to the law firm. Espo with Lindsey. You're under arrest for the murder of Scott McCoy. She says that's crazy. Espo says tell it to the judge. We're looking through your apartment right now. Blood residue can be a stubborn SOB. She points a gun at him. Espo says if you pull that trigger, you go away forever. She shoots and Ryan jumped in front of Espo. Kevin's out on the ground.

Ryan gasps. I'm okay. The notepad stopped the bullet. Espo says you saved my life. They chase after Lindsey. She falls down the stairs.

Kate with Ryan and Espo. She says they picked up George at the airport. Lindsey confessed they were in on it together. Kate asks if they need those new partner requests? No. Espo hugs Ryan. Kate gives them a moment. Ryan asks him to come over and watch UFC.

Kate shows up at Castle's flat. Brought takeout. He kisses her. She says this doesn't mean.... He knows. Time in? Yeah. They kiss. Went to bed. She says when you were in that lawyer's office, I was watching. When she asked you if there was hope and you didn't say anything.... He says I've never given up hope. That will never change until you tell me it should. She says then never change. Ever. She says I have to go. She takes her clothes into the bathroom. Phone buzzing. Castle looks at it. Text says get somewhere private ASAP. He tells her I think your phone buzzed. Oh. Everything alright? She says yeah, fine. Kisses him and leaves.

Next ep - mystery at sea. Castle and Beckett winter finale.
