Beckett had expecting him to argue with her, and has second thoughts, but holds her ground. She is first mentioned in season one, but does not appear until the season two episode "The Mistress Always Spanks Twice". Jenny returned in the season three episode "Nikki Heat", where Ryan proposes to her in the middle of the homicide bullpen. This puts him at odds with Esposito, who firmly stands behind Beckett's choice, causing friction within the group.

However, Beckett refuses to put the case behind her and says it is her life to live. She always urges him to declare his feelings and experience the moment.

Castle resolves to make their relationship purely professional. He confides to Castle that he enjoys stalking his victims and planning their deaths more than actually killing them, and it is implied that when he leaves New York, he adopts the persona of another serial killer and carries out a new series of crimes under a different identity. Detective Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever), formerly a narcotics division cop, now works alongside Esposito as part of Beckett's team. After an uneasy awkwardness, Beckett admits she got the job in D.C. and admits to Castle that she does love him, but she doesn't want to miss her shot at the job.

Formerly with Internal Affairs, Gates, known to some as "Iron Gates", is more interested in career advancement and the reputation of the precinct, and by extension, the NYPD, than in the finer points of interpersonal dynamics, making decisions based on the political impact that they would have. He has also demonstrated a strong attachment and respect for Beckett, commenting to Castle that he has never known anyone who can comfort the victims of violent crimes better than Beckett and arguing with the governor to accept a deal that would have allowed a known drug trafficker to walk free when he offered information that would have allowed them to capture the man who murdered Beckett's mother (although the deal was revealed to be fake when it turned out that the drug trafficker was the killer). In addition to the romantic rivals listed above, the main cast have come down one way or another on the Caskett issue. Only when he apologized and agreed to end the partnership did she relent and offer to let him stay ("A Death in the Family"). Beckett is shocked but doesn't deny the truth of Rhodes's read of the situation. Beckett had come close to admitting her feelings for Castle several times.

Later, he decides to tell Alexis as well and they are both are supportive of the relationship. Eventually, Montgomery's files are destroyed by Cole Maddox and Smith, and the man he sent them to is apparently killed, but Beckett is able to reconstruct enough of them to identify the man as Senator William Bracken. Marlowe felt that the model for the show moving forward could still include the lighthearted banter and powerful Fillion/Katic chemistry, using classics such as The Thin Man for inspiration. Montgomery had given it to Johanna Beckett before she was killed and in his first meeting with Kate Beckett, had tried to hint to her to look for cassette tapes for clues. These files had the potential to be very damaging to Montgomery's killers, and Smith used the files as leverage against them. Despite his role in getting Castle to speak out against the investigation in the first place, Montgomery quickly agrees to eliminating Castle. Castle will sometimes ask for her opinion on the motivation for some actions committed by the killers he hunts, such as who someone might ask for money.[3].

When Beckett is kidnapped by Tyson and his girlfriend, Doctor Kelly Neiman, Castle works desperately to save Beckett. (Both Nathan Fillion and Executive Producer Andrew Marlowe have discussed this dynamic and its origins in detail. He is believed to have saved Montgomery's life, which convinces Montgomery that Smith is trustworthy. Beckett hasn't heard from Castle since he left for the Hamptons months ago to finish writing his second Nikki Heat novel, "Naked Heat."

As Carla said, it's not his secret to tell and he'll support his friends by keeping his mouth. While she claims to believe Castle when he says he would never have cheated on her, she still turns down his advances that night as it was "too soon" and that she "couldn't stop seeing her (the reporter's) boobs on his face." This season is about secrets as both Castle and Beckett have something big to hide.

A lead in the killing of Beckett's mom comes when the mysterious killer acts to cover up his crime. Her reluctance to acknowledge her feelings for Castle, as well as her rejection of her previous boyfriends, stems from her determination to not get hurt, especially in the aftermath of her mother's death.

Detective Tom Demming (Michael Trucco) is a handsome robbery detective with whom Beckett briefly becomes involved.

Josh Davidson (Victor Webster) is Kate's boyfriend in season three. Maddox wanted to recover the files that Montgomery had sent Smith as his employer no longer wanted to live blackmailed. Until her conversation with Lanie, it wasn't clear whether she was interested in him romantically at all, or if she simply valued their friendship so much that she was willing to be his lover, so she could keep him as a friend. In the season six episode "Under Fire", Jenny gives birth to his daughter, Sarah Grace Ryan.

She confesses to Castle that she is frustrated by his frequent absences, although his dedication to helping the less fortunate was what initially attracted her to him, and she pursued the relationship because it allowed her "to keep one foot out the door." While hotly denying it, she is clearly grief-stricken in "When the Bough Breaks" when it seems that Castle will be ending their partnership now that he's finished writing Heat Wave.
