Eve Shaw had better turn out to be a Ring agent ( or other similar baddy) or this is going to screw up Sarah pretty badly. She's already having enough doubts and issues with her role as a CIA agent.

Anyone want to see the gang, i.e. the Castle crew (Sarah, Casey and Chuck) and the Buymore crew (Morgan, Jeff, Lester) form a new team and go world hopping for the CIA in Season 4?

It has always been my vision that the final "battle" of the show will involve as many characters as possible, including:

Chuck, Sarah, Casey, Morgan, Awesome, Jeffster, Anna Wu and Harry Tang (who have since become trained field agents during their time in Hawaii), Jill, Scott Bakula, Big Mike, Sandwich Girl, and Bryce (he came back from the dead once before!).

Meanwhile, Ellie is wandering around the apartment complex wondering where the hell everybody is.

I think you have possibly forgotten a few details. Remember it was those files that the Ring agents were after when they broke into Castle and blew Chuck's cover to Morgan. They had said they were able to upload those files to the Ring while they had Castle supposedly under a communications lock down, making Team Bartowski think they had kept them secure. All of the Ring's actions with Shaw have revolved around those files of Shaw's dead wife. That's their "in" with him.

I realize that, and it's especially clearer in hindsight, but I still think it's kind of weak as the explanation for The Ring's interest in and relationship with Shaw. That is, of course, baring any developments the next episode might add. But either way, I think it was a mistake to focus on Shaw largely as a relationship obstacle and Sarah's love interest. I feel it has distracted from what it seems they really want to do with the character in the (original) season finale.

But I watched the episode again and knowing what was coming made the aspects I found lacking the first time a lot less disappointing. I'd probably vote "Awesome" instead of "Above average" now.
