Last week’s installment ended with the stunner of a plot development we’ve been awaiting, with equal parts anticipation and nervousness, all season. Out of the mouths of babes – specifically, out of the mouth of his own young elder son – Jax (Charlie Hunnam) learns that the real murderer of Jax’s wife was… Jax’s mother (Katey Sagal). Jax spends the entire night, sitting in the dark by his son’s bed, trying to decide whether that accusation could p

For one month last year, the elusive British street artist known as Banksy set up surreptitious shop in New York, spreading his stencil art throughout the boroughs, painted on buildings and sold anonymously in unmarked kiosks, and revealing his antics afterward  Finding his art became quite a game among Banksy fans, as did anticipating his next move.

Now that Castle and Beckett are married, they can go under covers – and undercover – together, as they do tonight, posing as newlyweds at an Old West resort.

SERIES PREMIERE: This is a warning, not a recommendation.

Tonight’s two-hour episode expands to make room for a central plot sure to appeal to all the kids whose hearts were warmed by Frozen: like Elsa in that hit animated version of The Snow Queen, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) begins to isolate herself from her community because of fears that her magical powers might bring harm to someone near and dear to her. Meanwhile, this show’s actual, evil Snow Queen, played by Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost, makes herself an even more chilly presence this
