Castle: Dreamworld

  

 
       So when we last left Castle well he and Beckett got engaged by the beginning of last weeks episode and by the end of the episode well Castle only has a day to live unless they can find the antidote by the end of this episode. So far so good for a season opener. Now lets get into this episode. So apparently the only way for Castle to live is to give him the antidote but the bad news is the thieves took it with them when they broke in the lab to take the toxin and to make a new antidote with take the science techs at least a week so Beckett and Castle really need to find those thieves and the antidote quickly. So Castle tell Beckett about the mystery about Dreamworld and Beckett and her team look into it and discover a reporter named Brad Parker who did an article about Dreamworld but was terminated by the government before it was published. After so good advice from Castle it turns out the reporter and Bronson were connected in that Bronson was his source for the Dreamworld article. So as Beckett and McCord track down Brad Parker, Castle stays behind and after some convincing from Beckett he is now able to help out with the case considering the fact that he is dying because of the case.
      According to our very hot reporter Dreamworld is a forward operating base in Afghanistan where Covert Special Ops worked at including Bronson. So some bad stuff happened in Dreamworld but Bronson never told the reporter but before he can publish the article the story was pulled by his editor by the request of the secretary of defense General Reed. Apparently General Reed was in charge of operations that happened out of Dreamworld looks like that General is trying to keep something quiet to protect his rep. But the girls are not having any of that and are heading to the head honcho himself to try and pull so info out of him and of course he denied everything cause that's what the government does just deny everything. And honestly his words are so contradictory its funny after admitting to killing the story and confessing that Dreamworld does exist he still tries to deny its existence really its quite comical. But the girls still press on till the man caves and tells them the base ordered and airstrike on a man named Anwar Zawari and all Bronson had to do was report when Zawari was in the building and then put a target laser on the building to guild the missile but even after all of that Valkyrie is still a mystery. What is Valkyrie? Looks like Al Qaeda is now retaliating for killing one of their best men but what exactly are they going to be targeting?
       In a very sad touching moment Castle is in a sense saying goodbye to Alexis and his mother just incase he doesn't make it but Castle your name of the show so their is no way in hell you are dying yet. So after some research they found 6 potential new suspects in the break in who are all members of Zawari's family. Out of those 6 only one stood out Waqas Rasheed second cousin to Zawari and who also witnessed the attack on his family so revenge might be on his mind since he was spotted following Bronson out of the coffee shop. Then the feds get a hit on Rasheed walking in DC with a backpack which might contain the toxin and the antidote. So its off to pick him up and can I just say can the feds be anymore standoutish I mean men in black jackets and dark sunglasses everywhere anyone can spot them from anywhere. Rasheed then runs and Beckett bolts after him and tackles him to the ground but bad news he doesn't have the toxin. If this guy does have the toxin then he hid it really well cause its no where to be found. Turns out he wasn't following Bronson but Bronson was following him asking him if he told any one about their little secret. The night of the airstrike Rasheed went to the scene and saw Bronson their holding a dead body of a female servant. When Bronson saw Rasheed he drew his gun on him and told him that if he told anyone about what he has seen then he will kill him and the Bronson takes off with the body of the woman. So this guy is in the clear and he also has a alibi for the night of the break in so its back to square one plus some more evidence.
      So its back to this mystery behind Valkyrie as the team search for it in the transcript of the airstrike mission. As Castle suggests to search for 8 letter words in the transcript about Valkyrie and they got some hits but since most of the words are blacked out they are getting no where so the next best thing to do is the listen to the audio recording. So we got the recording and Valkyrie was code for the American operative who was working undercover as a servant to Zawari. But instead of canceling the airstrike because Valkyrie was still in the building, General Reed told the missile to fire killing the American operative. Wow General Reed was really trying to cover that up but now he has some explaining to do. But after Kate's boss tells her not to act against General Reed Kate takes matters into her own hands and confronts Reed at his home because when the man you love life is at stake you will do just about anything. Kate really wanted to see what General Reed would do and his actions ruled him out as a suspect but the feds then manage to figure out who Valkyrie was her name was Farrah Usman. When her body was brought back to the states the person who signed for her was Brad Parker who was her fiancée. Looks like Brad was most likely out for revenge for his fiancées death. Parker is not home but he is the guy cause his next target is Reed the person who ordered the strike. So its off to Reed's location to stop Parker but soon Kate realizes that Reed might not be the target and that his wife is because for Parker Reed took away someone he loved so his is going to do the same for him. Meanwhile Castle is almost dying in the car while Kate is en route to the Reed household. Hurry Kate!!! Kate gets to the scene and Castle passes out on the floor and as Kate goes after Parker he manages to grab her gun OMFG Kate really!!!!! But thankfully agent McCord is there and they got the antidote. Castle Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah he was not getting out of that wedding that easily lol.
      I loved this episode I feel like its getting back into the habit of that of Castle feel. But once again I hated the lack of Ryan and Esposito in the episode but thankfully they will be in next weeks episode throughout the whole episode and I am excited about that. So what did you think of Castle this week? Is it a good start to what the episodes are going to be like this season?
