Yes, we love Caskett.
Caskett is the reason we watchCastle.But its certainly not the only ship we enjoy.
who kept us coming back?
Thats right: the bromance of Ryan and Esposito.
They always come through, even when that other couple leave us hanging, angry and/or frustrated.
Despite their attractions, its rare, however, that we get an episode which focuses on them.
This season, for example, has only had oneKill Switchwhich was really Espositos story.

This weeksAtClose Rangeis the Ryan-focused companion piece.
Ryan sees a man running from the scene and gives chase until his fellow officers stop him.
And, as perCastleusual, he looks good for the crimefor a little while.
He gave access to the wrong person, and Carolyn Decker is dead.
Like with Esposito in Kill Switch, the whole episode revolves around him.
He has his partners back as much as the two of them have Casketts.
That does not mean, however, that Javi doesnt respect Ryans space.
But before he worked homicide, he was an undercover narcotics officer and a good one.
Its clear that tough love require tough Ryan.
And tough Ryan is one of my favorite parts of the show.
Which is not exactly what he does here, and that only makes it better.
The charity the victim heads is called Pure Water Now.
