[Kate had tried. She had really tried to totally ignore the egg. She had ignored it when she'd woken up to find it had appeared on Castle's bed stand. She ignored it when he started poking it excitedly. She ignored it when she came into the room and found it sitting nestled between her pillow and some blankets. She ignored it so much, and with so much of her heart and soul, she was almost sure at some point she would blink and it would simply vanish.

Instead, it hatched.]

Hey. Hey! No, off the bed! Off the bed! What, you want to chew up the other pillow too? How about my shoes? You want one of those, too!

[It takes a moment for Kate to realize her journal is open. Mainly because the small direwolf puppy that hatched is now chewing on the corner, droplets of drool hitting the paper and she swats him to get him away.]

Castle! I swear... [She is going to strangle him. But since her journal is already open, she might as well take some advantage of it.] Does anyone have any... I don't know, dog food?

Drugs. Some kind of brainwashing or subconscious suggestion. Or really advanced technology. It could be any number of things.

If it's drugs, how are we being dosed? Why aren't we feeling any kind of side effects?

Maybe we're being dosed in a way that doesn't cause side-effects. Maybe... God, Alexis, I don't know.

What you're talking about seems like something so big only a major government agency could pull it off. Are you thinking government conspiracy?

Maybe. Alexis, after what we've been through the last few years... I'm not gonna discount that.

You have a point.

Though usually when it's a government conspiracy, grandpa [it felt weird calling him that] is around somewhere. So far he hasn't materialized.

[ Kate was a little surprised to hear Alexis call him that, but, it was an accurate description. Kate had just never really spoken to her about it. ] Well, this is a slightly different situation than Paris.

Different in that there's a magical castle involved this time?

Something like that, yeah.
