CASTLE Creator Andrew Marlowe on ‘3XK’ Resolution, Beckett’s Mother’s Murder

CASTLE fans, don’t read this unless you’ve seen tonight’s episode. If you haven’t, GO WATCH IT NOW!

If you have, let’s chat about “3XK.”

It was good, right?

When I spoke with Seamus Dever a couple weeks back and he teased that something physical was going to happen to Ryan, he wasn’t kidding. Poor Ryan got the brunt of 3XK’s physical attack, but Castle wasn’t let off easy either. 3XK inflicted a verbal lashing on him that could take some time to heal.

And can we talk about the bait and switch the show did? Gates (Lee Tergesen) wasn’t 3XK as we were told! Tricky, tricky CASTLE. You had us fooled.

It’s almost a shame because watching Gates face off against Beckett was spectacular and I would have loved to see a repeat of it — but it was fantastic to have the rug pulled out from under me too.

Oh, and can we also talk about the lovely Castle-Beckett moment that closed out the episode? We see so much of their teasing, flirting, taunting banter that it was nice to watch genuine emotion draw the two of them together.

Now, since 3XK escaped at the end of the hour, I had a few questions for CASTLE creator Andrew Marlowe. Will we see 3XK return this season? How about revisiting Beckett’s mother’s murder?

Marlowe answers that and more in the video below…
