Castle and Beckett survive yet another attempt on their lives and are grateful for each other's company. In " 47 Seconds ", Beckett and Castle are talking about how pressuring this case is. When Castle speaks with Martha, she tells him that he should tell Beckett how he feels, because "Nobody's tomorrow is guaranteed. Some scenes later, she was trying to speak with Castle, probably about their conversation, but he wasn't there, and they got a location of their prime suspect.

When Castle came back, Beckett was already in the interrogation room, so Castle goes beyond the one-way mirror. During the interrogation Beckett unknowingly confesses that she "was shot in the chest and remember[s] every second of it". Castle now knows that she heard him say "I love you" the day she was shot and has been pretending not to know. As a result of this, he begins to pull away from her, believing her lie about not remembering is her way of rejecting him and doesn't feel the same way.

In " The Limey ", now that Castle has distanced himself from her and is casually seeing Jacinda, Beckett hits back and agrees to drinks with Colin Hunt , a Detective Inspector from England. At the end of the episode, when the Inspector is about to leave, he asks Beckett out for a drink, but she turns him down, while looking at Castle.

After the Inspector left, she would've talked to Castle about something important, but he tells Kate that he needs to see his girlfriend because she double-parked with his car. When Beckett tells Castle that she thinks the girlfriend's not his type, he says: "She's fun, and she's uncomplicated. I think that's what my life needs now. After Castle leaves, she calls the Inspector back about she's changed her mind about the drink. In " Headhunters ", the divide between Castle and Beckett is getting greater.

Despite this, Beckett still has Castle's back when he gets himself in trouble with a rogue gang cop, Detective Slaughter. She even risks her badge for him and declares "that's what partners are supposed to do", almost verbatim Castle's words on a similar occasion previously. Castle implies that he knows she remembers everything about the shooting. When the suspect says he doesn't remember about the killing, they leave the room. Later on, Castle says to Beckett in the hospital: "When a life-altering moment occurs, people remember.

But he maybe will, if he feels safe. Beckett also tells Castle that she is "almost where [she] wants to be. Castle agrees to stick around until she is ready. Once rescued by Ryan and co operatives, she realizes what she wants. Since Castle is still not answering or returning her calls, she turns up at his loft in the middle of the night and when Castle asks her, "Beckett, what do you want? She tells him, "I almost died and all I could think about was you".

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. Although the team are able to identify the man behind Johanna Beckett's murder as Senator William Bracken , the lack of evidence against him after the destruction of Montgomery's old files forces Beckett to resort to bluffing him into leaving them alone by claiming that another copy of the files still existed.

At the start of " Valkyrie ", Beckett accepts both the new job in the Department of Justice and Castle's proposal, resulting in Castle spending some time alternating between New York and Washington due to Beckett moving for the new job.

However, although Beckett made a positive impression on her colleagues for her investigative skills, she soon found herself unable to make the necessary moral compromises for her new role, jeopardizing a plan to infiltrate a major crime syndicate to protect a young woman who would have been forced to act as the mole.

As a result, Beckett was fired from the Department of Justice in " Need To Know ", leaving her briefly unemployed due to station budget cuts preventing Gates from simply re-hiring her. Despite this, Castle was able to get her job back after he helped to reunite a prominent politician with his long-lost daughter in " Number One Fan ", the city official wanting to thank the team for their role in bringing his family together.

Subsequent episodes feature various scenes of Kate and Rick planning their wedding, such as Kate receiving a dress from Matilda King, who mentored Kate during her brief modelling career. Bracken's crimes are eventually exposed when Kate discovers a long-hidden cassette recording of him ordering Johanna Beckett's death in " Veritas ". Beckett's initial relationship with Castle was strained, in part due to her viewing him as immature and reckless.

However, she did see that he was important in solving difficult cases. Castle also has come to talk with her more about Alexis , including her wanting to buy a motorized scooter and her falling in love with a boy named Ashley. As well as her looks, she's real and, as Beckett observes to Castle, "I didn't think you went for real. In the same episode, he is seen to be worried about her, even staying in her apartment to protect her from a murderer.

He even made her pancakes in the morning, which she was teased about by Ryan and Esposito. During the aftermath of her apartment being blown up, Beckett stays at Castle's apartment, where she makes him breakfast. Her relationship with Castle is further demonstrated by her closeness to Alexis Castle , his daughter. Alexis looks up to Beckett and sees her as a friend and surrogate mother at times, even asking her advice on a foreign exchange program to France; Castle once even asked Beckett to help look after Alexis if he died, when he believed that he had been cursed after looking at a Mayan mummy.

Beckett also dispenses parenting advice, telling Castle that Alexis is entering her "wild-child phase. In the season three premiere, "Deadly Affair", Beckett and her team find Castle at a crime scene and arrest him for murder which she is shown to almost gladly do since he never called her once during the summer or upon his arrival back in town , but after he is proved innocent she lets him leave.

Beckett "loses" a bet with Castle regarding who would discover evidence leading to the next stage of their investigation first - although they both received the evidence simultaneously-, which then results in him being reinstated as her partner. In "He's Dead, She's Dead", it is revealed that Beckett has looked at the biography page of Castle's official website, and thus knows his middle name is "Edgar".

In "Nikki Heat", Beckett becomes jealous of the actress Natalie Rhodes when she sees her kissing Castle in the elevator.

Unbeknownst to Beckett, Castle turned Rhodes down, because he felt that she was only acting out a fantasy he created noting later to Beckett that sleeping with a woman posing as a fictional version of her would be too "meta".

In "Knockdown", Castle and Beckett kiss as a way to distract a guard, but afterwards, it's clearly seen by both their faces that they felt something more. In "Setup", Castle and Beckett can be seen in a concealed tarp together after being exposed to high levels of radiation. Castle asks Beckett about her recent trouble with her current boyfriend Josh and she says that Josh has been away a lot, and how she wants him to be there for her.

Unfortunately, a man comes and interrupts before Castle can say something to Kate that could probably change their relationship. In "Countdown", Castle and Beckett are locked inside a giant freezer after raiding the location where a bomb is believed to be held. Fearing that they are both going to die as no one knows where they are, they eventually huddle together to keep warm, but are both very weak from the cold. Beckett thanks Castle for being there with her and Castle replies that he always will be.

Beckett touches his face and says "I just want you to know that I Castle tries to wake her up, but he soon passes out as well. However, they are soon rescued by Esposito and Ryan. After finding the bomb later on, Castle and Beckett realize that it's too late for a bomb squad. 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 Relieved, he and Beckett hug.

At the end of the day, Castle walks to the elevator, leaving Beckett and Josh to themselves. As Beckett is hugging Josh, she looks on at Castle until he's in the elevator.

Castle looks completely heartbroken at the fact that they faced certain death twice and yet, neither one of them expressed their true feelings. In "The Dead Pool", she is "courted" by another writer, Castle's protege, for information and characteristics. At the end of the episode, Castle openly admits to being jealous, causing her to turn down the writer calling herself a "one writer girl".

When Castle thanks her, she replies "always". In "Knockout", Beckett tells Castle he and she are "over" after his unsuccessful attempt to dissuade her from continuing her obsessive pursuit of Hal Lockwood, an assassin connected to her mother's murder.

While they fight Castle tells Beckett that he doesn't understand what their relationship is since they have "nearly died frozen in each other's arms, kissed each other, held hands, and spend their free time together, but they never talk about any of it".

While delivering a eulogy at Montgomery's funeral, Castle sees in the distance the sun reflecting off what he realizes to be a sniper rifle that is aimed at Beckett. Before he can tackle her out of the way, Beckett is shot in the chest.

As she's laying on the ground, Castle begs her to stay with him and confesses his love for her, telling her "I love you, Kate" before she passes out with tears in her eyes. Beckett survives her injury after undergoing extensive surgery and even flat lining. When Castle visits her, she claims to have lost all memory of what happened and asks him to give her some time to process everything.

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.

When she comes back to work, she meets her new boss, former Internal Affairs member Victoria Gates, with whom she immediately has a confrontation after she learns that the investigation into the attack on her, as well as Montgomery's death, has been closed. She also learns that, while she was away, Ryan, Esposito and Castle got some information, and that a storage facility possibly holding important information burned down, apparently in an accident.

She meets with Castle - who has left the precinct since Beckett isn't there - and tells him that she broke up with Josh during the summer, and that she feels that she can't have an actual relationship while the people that had her mother killed are still free. She attempts to continue the investigation of her mother's death, but Castle convinces her to try and give it some time, so that things may become clearer.

Beckett later confesses to her psychologist that she remembers everything upon getting shot, including Castle confessing his feelings for her, but does not admit this to anyone else.

She refuses to pursue any relationship including with Castle , until the man behind her mother and Roy Montgomery's deaths has been caught.

In "Eye of the Beholder", Beckett is upset and becomes jealous when Castle becomes interested in another woman, Serena Kaye, but refuses to acknowledge her feelings towards Castle, leading her psychologist to question whether she's worried that he won't wait Castle becomes worried about Beckett when they are working on a sniper case and realizes that she is suffering from PTSD from her shooting.

To do so, Esposito has her hold the type of gun she was shot with and tells her that she has to make what happened a strength instead of a weakness. Later on, knowing that Castle was the one who talked Esposito into helping her, she thanks him. In "47 Seconds", Martha encourages her son to tell Beckett how he feels; however, while Beckett is interrogating a suspect, she says "I was shot in the chest and I remember every second of it", not knowing that Castle is in the observation room and overheard it.

Castle is stunned and obviously hurt that Beckett has been lying to him the entire time about not remembering anything. He tells Martha that since she never said anything, he believes that it must mean that she doesn't feel the same way. Although Martha believes that he should end his partnership now that he knows the truth, Castle decides to stay on the grounds that he wants to continue, as he wishes to feel he is doing something that matters. Her attempt to tell him about this encouraged by Lanie fails, though, as he appears with a flight attendant at the crime scene.

Beckett is hurt, but still refuses to talk to him about this. She talks to her therapist about this and he suggests that maybe Castle is not ready to wait for her anymore. Beckett is devastated to hear this and is therefore happy when Castle ends his brief partnership with Slaughter. In "Undead Again", the case Beckett and Castle are working on partly mirrors their own problems such as one witness claiming not to remember anything of a murder.

In the end, Beckett tells Castle that she is seeing a therapist and is working on herself which causes the wall inside her to slowly come down. To this revelation, Castle says "I'd like to be there when it does" to which Beckett replies "Yeah, I'd like you to be there, too". In the Season 4 finale, "Always", Beckett and Castle are forced to deal with their relationship when a murder they are investigating turns out to be linked to Beckett's shooting almost a year before.

Castle, trying to get Beckett off the case, tells her he loves her and admits that he heard her saying she remembered everything. She is, however, angry that he hid important facts from her in order to protect her and refuses to back off from the case, causing Castle to end their partnership, refusing to see her throw her life away. Beckett is unable to resolve the case this time, though, and, in a near-death experience, realizes how much Castle truly means to her.

After she resigns from her job, Beckett visits Castle that night and, while telling him she is sorry, shares a passionate kiss with him before they go to his bedroom hand in hand. In the Season 5 premiere, "After the Storm", it is implied that Beckett and Castle have consummated their relationship when Castle wakes up into his bed to find a shirt-clad Beckett walking in his bedroom with morning coffee.

They speak about their night, with Beckett asks Castle if he liked it, to which Castle replies with a yes. 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.

They must keep their relationship a secret since, due to Precinct rules, coworkers are not allowed to become romantically or sexually involved or one of them must become re-assigned to a new partner or department. But, even though Castle is not technically a police officer, they both fear Captain Gates will go by the rule anyway and may re-assign Beckett or possibly kick Castle out for good.

So the two decide that, for the time being, they will keep their relationship a secret. In the episode " Still ", Beckett and Castle arrive at an apartment of a suspected bomber, who escapes out the window into an alley, where he's immediately cornered by Ryan and Esposito.

As he's ordered to lay on the ground, he holds out a remote that he sets to arm what is believed to be a bomb. When Esposito radios Beckett to clear out of the apartment, Beckett steps on a floor plate, setting the trigger of the bomb. To keep Beckett's mind off the predicament she's in, Castle distracts her with the argument of who was into who first. The majority of the episode is a series of flashbacks proving each other's point. As it's discovered the bomb also has a timer and will detonate soon, Beckett asks Castle to leave.

As he's leaving, Becket calls out and tells him that she loves him, and he tells her that he loves her too. This is the first time we hear Beckett say out loud that she loves Castle.
