What an episode.  Just wow.  This one gave me chills.  Must watch again.

A little bit of bad as* Beckett…A little bit of father-daughter love. Good episode.

Also, to me it seems as if the writers are showing that Beckett is seeing Castle in a different light- thanks to his fatherly side. 

But let's talk about the promo for next week's episode. I wanna see that again.  haha

I loved this episode.  It was less of the funny haha side and more on the touching side.  Though I did love the part where Alexis came to the station and Beckett gave Castle the compliment about seeing him as a dad and he shot back with "Makes you want me, right" and she gave it right back to him.  But it showed Beckett another side of Castle, what a great father he is.  That seemed to be the theme throughout the episode, Castle's fatherly side.  He felt paternal to the sister of the murder victim, not wanting her to be on the street in her condition, thought that was brilliant the way Beckett read him perfectly and said "I'll drive" to go look for her.  Her compassion showed for the girl as she was going through withdrawal and when she was in the morgue.  Wonder if they were referencing her history with her dad at all, her father's alcoholism that is.  Stana always plays the compassion parts dead on and nice to see she can kick butt too, like on the bus and with that guitarist.  

Nathan was really great in that scene at the end, showing how angry Castle was at the producer, you could see that as a father , he was furious with someone who would take advantage of his position as a father figure and harm a young women.  Finally, loved the way Kate looked at him as he walked off after he said "I'll do what I always do, tell her the truth" in regards to what he'd tell Alexis.  At the end, fantastic the way they were all together, like a family, at the memorial concert.  Hope that's some foreshadowing! :)  

Great episode, I thought it moved the relationship forward, told a great little mystery and had some good music!  Oh and guitar hero and Billy Idol!!! Cant' ask for anything more.

I adore this episode. Even though there wasn't a "cherries" scene I feel as though it didn't need one. This episode was more about heart and relationships as a whole (Castle and Alexis as father and daughter, and Castle and Beckett as Beckle). There were lots of sweet moments which are sometimes better then eeeee moments.

Also, Alexis singing was sweet/cute and her taking it so hard was perfect!

OMG! I also just realized that I love when Castle is playing Guitarhero and he hurts his back! Too funny! He's an old man, hehe.

A good episode in my opinon.  My favorite parts:

-"She hated Obama!"

-Castle making up theories in general, such as "The butler did it".

-The syncronized candy eating and matching frustrated faces from Castle and Beckett.

-The pissed expressions on Castle and Becketts' faces when they confronted the guitarist and the manager. I think that's the first time we've really seen Castle angry like that. Also loved the guitarist face when Beckett snapped at him.

-Alexis trying to weasel her way out of going to school.

-Esposito trying to avoid cursing in front of Alexis. "She can spell detective."

-The candle light vigil.

-"And there's the 12 year old again." I don't believe that answer counts as a "no". :P

I think that's it for the most part. It seems like everyone has already said what I was thinking.

I agree with everything here. Adding – I loved when Sky was screaming at the guitarist when they got in a fight and Beckett and Castle broke it up. There were a lot of maternal and paternal parts in this episode which I liked.
