A great many 'Castle' fan's dreams were finally realized when lo and behold our two romantic leads finally put two and two together, and hopped into bed for a long-awaited night of passion and revelry the likes of which ABC probably couldn't censor if they tried. But with every high there must come a low, and with every passionate hookup, there must come a suitably awkward morning after. But do Castle and Beckett have the passion to work through a little post-coitus coffee?

Have no fear, 'Castle' fans, for your wait for season 5 premiere "After the Storm" has nearly ended. Sure, we still have a few days until the September 24 premiere, but why wait that long to learn the aftermath of the long-awaited Castle-Beckett hookup? Entertainment Weekly has the first clip from the premiere, and as you can tell, things are more than a little tip-toey.

Of course, with such chemistry as Nathan Fillion's Rick and Stana Katic's Kate, surely that morning awkwardness won't last for long, right? Right?

Elsewhere, we know that 'Castle' season 5 will feature guest-director Jonathan Frakes undertaking what might be the series most 'Firefly'-filled episode to date, ‘30 Rock' star Kevin Brown will put in an appearance for a ‘Storage Wars’ -type episode, and that former ‘Heroes’ and ‘The Office‘ star Jack Coleman will guest as a recurring senatorial antagonist for Beckett. Coleman’s character may or may not have ties to the man who attempted to kill her, Cole Maddox (‘Battlestar Galactica’s’ Tahmoh Penikett).
