Just when one of the criminals is about to kill Tess, Vincent walks into the room. Suddenly all guns are pointed at the “war hero”.

MAKE ART! Art is a journey, and you are constantly moving forward. All art is good, because all art is progress.

Vincent tells Cat that once they are done with this beast business, she can finally go back to her old life (which life? In her old life there was Vincent!). It is clear Cat doesn’t want that (without Vincent).

In the hallway, Cat, alone and desperate to save Tess, talks softly to Vincent, as if praying  knowing Vincent can hear her. What a beautifully intense scene and lovely performance by Kristin Kreuk.! 👏She did an amazing job, it felt so sincere and emotional. In her words is encompassed the meaning of relationship between Catherine and Vincent was about. It was a relationship where Cat “believed” in Vincent’s inner goodness and went to great lengths “to protect him” because she loved him. I think that Kristin Kreuk really hit this one out of the park.💖

Vincent hangs up and Tori comes out of the bedroom. Tori whines to Vincent about his talking to Cat again and Vincent assures her she's just trying to help them. She tells him he just wants him to say he doesn't want to go back to Cat and he, instead, doesn’t even attempt to deny it and  says he wants to get the gem before Agent Landon finds out what's going on. Even Tori didnt know what type of relationship she was having with Vincent... a relationship that up until that episode had only been speculated or implied in fans opinion. She was trying to get an answer as much as the fans.( Much later we have seen the deleted scenes!)😤

Tess: “"Hey, Curt, would you mind "beasting out so we can kill you? "And then after you flatline, "we may or may not be able to, you know, shock your human side back to life?" I'm sure he'll go for that.”😀

Before they leave, Reynolds  tells Cat that he is the only one who can fill in the blanks she is looking for and that hopefully he can keep her from making the same mistake her mother made in loving him. Really not-very-cryptic-comment! Anyway, Agent Reynolds does manage to get into Cat’s head and cast some doubts about Vincent.🤔

Cat heads to Vincent’s boat and finds Tori’s earring, when Curt and a whole load of goons arrive, very dramatically. She jumps off the boat and hides in the water until they leave. Unsuccessful in finding Vincent, Curt and his entourage take a few of his belongings so they can better track him down. Windsor proclaims a bombastic speech: he will find Vincent and rip him to shreds.
