I won't put this episode up there with my favorites, but it was nice to see Alexis be involved in the case somewhat. I enjoyed the Castle as father bits too. There just didn't seem to be much humor in the show and, if they plan on getting them together that is, there didn't seem to be as many of the cutsie Castle - Beckett interaction this time. I still wonder when they plan to go more into the mystery of the death of Beckett's mother.
