But it's too late: Castle has already planned to go to the Hamptons with another woman: Gina, his ex-wife, with whom he's rekindled a relationship. Initially finding Castle to be quite annoying, Beckett gradually warms to him as they work together to solve murder mysteries, utilizing his imagination and insight into a killer's mind and her authority and position within the police department.
