Dude, no one is jealous of your relationship.
Castle and Beckett’s little FBI boyfriend on the other hand - let’s just say I was expecting some fists to come out just before she sent Castle home.

Text Message Conversation
Castle
Admit it, you were actually concerned about my safety today.
Beckett
I’m not in the mood, Castle.
Castle
I just thought it was nice.
Beckett
Well you have to admit, you aren’t always the most responsible person.
Castle
I screwed up.
Beckett
That wasn’t your fault.
Castle
I should have been watching. What if we don’t find that little girl? Whether it’s my fault or not, I can’t stop thinking about it.
Beckett
We’ll find her, Castle.
Castle
I hope so.

Castle’s Notes
Beckett and Sorenson have an interesting history. I don’t know what it is exactly, but it didn’t end well. Maybe Nikki Heat has an ex-boyfriend who gets in the way of her relationship with Rook. He may or may not be an FBI agent.
And he’s probably an asshole.

Text Message Conversation
Ryan
Pay up
Esposito
I’m not paying until you ask them if they slept together.
Ryan
They haven’t.
Esposito
You don’t know that.
Ryan
I’m not going to ask Beckett if she slept with Castle, she’ll shoot me.
Esposito
So ask Castle.
Ryan
You ask.
Esposito
No way, man, he’ll tell her.
Ryan
You suck.
Text Message Conversation
Castle
Please? ☺
Beckett
I will not run a background check on Alexis’ boyfriend. PS. It’s sad to text the person sitting next to you.
Castle
You were ignoring me.
Beckett
For a reason.
Castle
But you’re not ignoring my texts, so my plan worked.
Beckett
Good thing you’re still close enough to hurt.
Kate Beckett’s Diary Entry
I knew telling Castle about my mother’s case was a bad idea.

Do you think this is enough to scare Alexis’ boyfriend? Is the severed head too much?

Richard
Is Alexis home from the prom yet?
Mother
Richard, it’s nine-thirty, they haven’t even made it to the backseat of a car yet.
Richard
That’s not funny, mother.
Mother
It’s a little bit funny.

I know you don’t like talking about these things, but I haven’t seen Castle around for a few weeks, is everything okay?
