“The Castle Method”: from the first to the wedding dance
One of the most favorite on-screen couples of television viewers – writer Richard Castle and New York police detective Kate Beckett – hit the dance floor for the first time in the seventh episode of the first season of “The Castle Method”.
For the first time, Beckett changes her work uniform – a trouser suit – to an elegant and very revealing evening dress to accompany Castle to a high society ball. But it’s not a date, their goal is to discover which of the guests is the jewel thief.
The two discuss their suspicions while dancing together for the first time.
In the sixth season, the two are again seen dancing. Castle admits that all of his life choices have led to this moment with Kate. When the composition “In My Veins” starts playing, both realize at the same time that it is “their” song.
In the penultimate, seventh season, Castle and Beckett prepare for their wedding and rehearse the first dance in the living room of his apartment. The rehearsal is supervised by the groom’s mother Marta.
But they have rivals, detectives Ryan and Esposito, who Castle and Beckett catch dancing in the interrogation room.
