 This episode starts and ends  with a dream  sequence...........Cat’s dream (or rather nightmare)at the end of the episode is juxtaposed nicely against the one Vincent has at the beginning of the episode. As Vincent dreams of Cat coming to his houseboat to reconcile with an almost kiss, Catherine dreams of telling Vincent that they need to stay away from each other. When Vincent ardently refuses and even tells her he loves her, she physically pushes him away, causing him to hit his head in an apparent deadly accident. Vincent's dream shows his true self, caring, protective and a little unsure of himself. Cat's dream shows the beast he forced her to deal with. Hard, demanding, cocky and unconsiderate. Which shows that she absolutely didn't see the changes on him. That's how much his image is damaged to her. Vincent took 11 episodes to find his way back to himself. How will Cat back to see him as a good man in only 1 episode?

Vincent gets a taste of his old life as Dr. Keller, the talented and dedicated doctor who would do anything to save lives. He saves a young man’s life and is greeted warmly by a former mentor, Dr. Markus, played with gravitas by CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL.
