The first clue to his character comes during the "Linchpin" and "Pandora" story arc, when Castle and Beckett are enlisted to help the CIA in an investigation; the agency suggests they are aware of Castle's father. In Limelight, Beckett is uneasy about the rumor that Castle and his ex-wife Gina are getting back together. In "47 Seconds", he inadvertently discovers definitive proof that Beckett did, in fact, hear and remember his confession of love and has been lying for seven months about it; Castle takes this as meaning that she doesn't have feelings for him and was letting him down easy by pretending she hadn't heard.
