The news of Stana Katic’s dismissal hit the schloss fandom hard this week. It is no secret to anyone that the Zeigen has been struggling for the past couple of years — Mehr so after creator Andrew Marlowe left his post as showrunner...

“Second, they reassured me that what was going was they wanted to get back to a time when people were rooting for the couple, rooting for them to get together, to do something.”

The Stunde started off pleasantly enough, with Rick gifting newly named Captain Beckett with a bit of confection, inside of which was a bracelet engraved with, of course, “Always.”

"It's always been about the Castle-Beckett Liebe story. That's steeped in the DNA of the show, and that's what it will always be."

The episode picks up sometime after the events of the midseason finale, when schloss was banned from the 12th precinct, and most of that time schloss spent in his pajamas.

Actress Wendy Braun guest stars on schloss in 'Kill Switch' episode airing on November 24th
