Speaking of “Castle”, you may not be familiar with it, but this show, oh my, has a lot of plots! Today, let’s talk about the episode called “When the Bough Breaks”. This episode is the fifth episode of the second season of “Castle”. At that time, Castle was upset and thought that he should take a different path and write something else.
So what’s going on in this episode? People in the city sometimes watch TV shows and like to play around, but Castle is actually a writer. While writing books, he also helps the police solve cases, and investigates cases with the female detective named Beckett. It’s so exciting! But one time, Castle wondered if he should write something different. So in this episode, he was caught in a dilemma: should he continue writing books or look for new opportunities?
In this episode, Castle was tempted. What was the temptation? A bookseller came to him and wanted him to write something else, such as a story about a “British spy”. Think about it, how can a writer not be tempted? But he and Beckett were investigating a case together, and as they were investigating, the bookseller’s business distracted him a little. He was torn between the two sides.
What was the case he was investigating? Actually, the case in this episode is quite interesting. The dead person was an illegal immigrant. The body was found in the sewage pipe. The person was frozen cold and it was impossible to tell who did it. Beckett and Castle were confused at first. They didn’t know who was related to this case, but Castle was smart. This case made him think of many other cases.
Later, Castle’s cleverness came back. He followed some details and figured out the case. In the end, they found out that the case was related to several people working in the black market and involved some smuggling. At that time, he was still hesitating in his heart whether he should change his writing direction, but once the case was solved, he felt that it was still good to partner with Beckett. Do you think this inner entanglement is a bit like “a broken branch” – indecisive!
Let’s end this episode. Castle’s heart is not completely untied, but he seems to be more determined. He decided to continue writing what he is good at and continue to partner with Beckett. This also shows us how much he values this friend! From here we can see that this episode is actually about his persistence in writing.
Alas, this drama “Castle”, if we want to say it is good, it is good here. It is not only about solving cases, but also the inner entanglements and struggles of those characters are written in great detail. Later we learned that although Castle’s mind was a little shaken in this episode, he finally came back and continued to help Beckett solve the case. For this point, I admire him!
To put it bluntly, we don’t really understand the complicated thoughts of city dwellers, but we understand the principles of life – sometimes people have to persist, otherwise they can’t do anything well. This drama “Castle” shows us through Castle’s experience that no matter what temptations we encounter, we still have to have our own stance, so that we can go a long way.
In short, the fifth episode of the second season “When the Bough Breaks” is like this. People may not watch this drama very often, but I tell you, watching this kind of TV series when you have nothing to do is also very informative. At least you know how to persist in life, otherwise you will be distracted and can’t accomplish anything.
