They both agree that it was not a one time thing and want to have a serious relationship, but their conversation is interrupted when Castle's mother comes home, causing Beckett to sneak out of Castle's loft, so that Martha or Alexis don't see her. On January 9, 1999, when she was 19, her mother, Johanna, was stabbed to death while on her way to meet with Jim and Kate for dinner. She is the main reason, why people hate cops. When Beckett does not respond, Sorenson simply asks Beckett to think about it. However, she warms up to him after seeing how useful he is on cases, which he often solves by noticing things that no one else did. At the end of the day, Castle walks to the elevator, leaving Beckett and Josh to themselves. She saw Castle. Suddenly, nothing mattered.The sniper didn't matter. One of their cases involved a karaoke bar; another involved a monkey. At one point in her career, she teams up with FBI Agent Beckett has Castle consult on the case, and though she tries to limit his access, he repeatedly violates police protocol. Castle is an American crime-comedy-drama television series, which aired on ABC for a total of eight seasons from March 9, 2009, to May 16, 2016. Months after she was shot at Montgomery's funeral, she returned and met the new captain of the precinct, Victoria Gates. Obviously, Will used the case as an excuse to get close to her again, although he was not expecting the presence of a shadowing novelist. She is portrayed by Stana Katic. Castle occasionally remarks that he finds her intelligent and educated and that his character of Nikki Heat was written to reflect these traits. The precinct saves Castle from death, and he must save Beckett from Loksat. Beckett pulled away from Lanie and ran over to them, Lanie following closely behind Beckett. After he looks at her for a moment, he pushes her up against the wall and they share several passionate kisses before Beckett leads Castle to his bedroom by the hand.

Katherine Houghton Beckett was born to Jim and Johanna Beckett and was raised in Manhattan. Kate feels that she can tell Lanie most anything, so she finds herself often opening up to her about Castle. Overkill opens with a Robbery Homicide which brings Demming into the fore front of the investigation splitting Kate between the two men and their theories on the investigation, ultimately both theories prove to be the right one. Then, Caleb showed up. He also accuses her of "hiding" in relationships with men she doesn't love.

It isn't until Castle overhears Kates plans to spend the weekend at the Jersey shore with Demming that he realizes that Beckett has made her choice. She frequently dates, but none of them really go anywhere.

Open your eyes. "Castle, stay with me, okay?" However, a "couple of days" turns into three months and she still doesn't call Castle during that time (thus putting this in a mirror situation to that of the previous year when Castle didn't call Beckett for the whole summer, exactly three months as well and having the same result with Castle near furious with Kate for never contacting him). In a Deadly Game the season 2 Finale, Castle is being abandoned by Alexis and Martha for his annual memorial day plans in the Hamptons. Beckett realizes she wants Castle and ends her relationship with Demming telling him that he's just not what she's looking for. Losing Castle would break her.She was already broken, and Castle was helping her put the pieces back together. Castle looks completely heartbroken at the fact that they faced certain death twice and yet, neither one of them expressed their true feelings. Beckett survives her injury after undergoing extensive surgery and even flat lining. Eventually Montgomery's files are destroyed by Cole Maddox and Smith, the man he sent them to apparently killed, but Beckett is able to reconstruct enough of them to identify the man as Senator William Bracken. They realized that Caleb, the guy who had been helping them, was now dead, having been revealed as a traitor by LokSat himself. She hints to Castle many times about having a wild past and according to an old friend, On January 9, 1999, when she was 19, her mother, Johanna, was stabbed to death while on her way to meet with Jim and Kate for dinner. Everything is just fine.As for the LokSat business, it was all rather convoluted.During their investigation, Castle and Beckett found themselves in a trap, filled with guns.

Josh didn't matter. Holding hands, they look into each other's eyes and then with only a second left, Castle yanks all the wires out, defusing the bomb as the timer hits 0:00. Beckett is now the wife of Richard Castle. Beckett decides she is going to tell Castle that she will join him for the weekend in the Hamptons, but before she can get what she needs out Castle's ex-wife/publisher shows up to join Castle in his trip to the Hamptons.
