This was another IN CRED I BLE episode!! Bio dad has officially kicked the bucket!! He is DEAD DEAD!! Liam tore him to pieces! So I must must watch this again to recap, but here are some short Cliff's notes:
Helen Ellingsworth comes to the hospital very sick. She specifically asks for Vincent. Vincent is puzzled why she'd ask for him. She explains that Liam recommended him. So.. turns out that she has slowly been poisoned with Thalium ( I think); Vincent tells her that because it is odorless and colorless ( and I am also assuming tasteless), Liam has been poisoning her. He tells her that the stuff has been banned for years. It's a toxic spray also I think.. anyway.. she doesn't believe him. He tells her that no matter what she believes, that he is going to save her.
Vincent tells Catherine that Helen has come to be one of his patients; explains the whole thing.. which puzzles them. They figure that obviously Liam has something up his sleeve.
Meanwhile, Liam comes to "visit" Helen; asks her how she doing.. if the Dr. was helpful. She tells him that Vincent says he (Liam), is trying to kill her. He tells her that it is true. Liam says that he is going to kill ALL the Ellingsworth's because of what they did to him. It seems that his mother had an affair with a monster; he (Liam), was treated badly and basically kicked to the curb, because of what he is. His father suffered no consequences.. and I assume that his mother was kicked to the curb as well. So therefore, he is out for revenge. He pulls a needle out, puts something in her IV.. and Voila!! In the famous words of N'Sync: BYE, BYE, BYE!!
Next thing you know, Liam comes across Vincent coming down the hall to check on good ol' Helen.. hmm.. Liam more or less lets Vincent know that he has been set up. And of course, the Code Blue alarms start going off at that exact same moment.
Catherine comes to the hospital to check up on Vincent, and he lets her know that not only did Helen kick the bucket, but he is now on probation, because HE gave Helen the VERY THING SHE'S HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO! And of course it wasn't in her chart before.. but NOW it mysteriously is not only IN her chart, BUT it's also HIGHLIGHTED!
So this is what causes them to then go to see Bob.. and see if Vincent's idea will work.. about giving Liam the same stuff that Bob gave him, which caused him to be the Super Soldier. I have to say that I am REALLY going to miss Bio Dad!! He may have gone down trying to do the right thing, but he was still had his snarky moments before and just had some of the best lines! I so wish they'd have used him more this season.. but oh well.
Anyway... so Bob tells Catherine that it took MONTHS to get Vincent to become the super soldier that he was, AND to wipe his memory. Cat tells Bob that they don't HAVE MONTHS to do this. He tells her that if she breaks him out or gets him out on a furlough, he will help her. She tells him that she can't do this.. she's already in trouble with IA, and that they were breathing down her neck about past issues. She asks him to give her the formula. Round and round they go.. and he tells her that he doesn't want to have anything more to do with "Beastly crap". She then tells him.. didn't you tell me that I am TIED to this "Beastly crap"?? So he finally agrees.
So next thing you see is Catherine with a list of ingredients, giving them to Heather, and tells her to go get the stuff. She says that JT can have access to a lab to make the serum. Heather sees that Cat has got a do it yourself Will, and Cat says that with Liam on the loose, she's in danger. Besides.. everyone should have a will, and she's been thinking about it a lot. Especially given the chance that Vincent will probably outlive her. Heather tells her to not let it run her life.. to not be obsessed about it.
Cut to the Gentleman's Club: Heather has all the "ingredients" needed; she and Cat are discussing the plan, when the window breaks. It's Vincent throwing Bob in the window.. and following right behind him.. he broke Bob out of prison!!!
Best moment ever!! Heather is like You broke him out prison?
Vincent just looks at her and says something like.. you have any better ideas?? It was just too funny!!
So.. cut to Liam discussing the funeral service for Helen with her son. He tells him that everyone is to meet at 3 o'clock sharp, in the crypt. Son is confused as to why Liam is wanting to do the funeral so fast.. Liam just tells him to be there at the appointed time w/ the whole family.
Now here's where I
had a
momentary distraction here at home.. (
almost went code yellow,
but as I
had to tamper down my inner beast and be nice to my company who was going home at the time), I
am not sure how VinCat realized that Liam planned to kill the whole family,
etc.,
etcThey realize that there is probably going to be another bigger bomb, and that Liam probably did that to trap them. Catherine eventually finds the bomb, and Vincent tells her to pull all the wires. It all works out... everyone is now safe.
Somehow, they manage to lure Liam and they have a tranq gun. Vincent shoots Liam multiple times with it.. he is confused as to how that happens.. of course Catherine is right behind him.. WITH THE GEM!! So.. back to JT's lair they go.. Liam is tranqued.. and Bob is attempting to brainwash him. Tells him that he doesn't know any one named Ellingsworth.. doesn't know Catherine, Vincent OR Rebecca. Really cool special effects showing the drug working on him...VinCat leave to go do something.. now I've forgotten.. and I think I've mixed up part of the story. Been a crazy day here at home.. some exculpa me if I have mixed up the story.
Anyway.. it's just Heather & JT with Bob & Liam at the Club. Liam has gotten his strength back.. and beasts out!! Bob tells them to get out! It's the only way he can make up for all he's done.
Next thing you know.. JT and Heather are coming out into the alleyway.. VinCat think life just HAS to be grand now.. and of course it isn't! They tell them that life ISN'T grand.. and that Liam has escaped. Cut to inside the club.. and it is in shambles!! Furniture thrown all over the room... and broken... aaaaannnd Bob. IS. DEAD.. as is "DEAD DEAD"!!!! He is torn to shreds.. and there goes all his noble deeds down the drain.
So we see Tess with the IA guy.. again insistent that Cat has to be behind Bob's death.. because she was the last one see him in prison. And.. how '"convenient" is it, that Bob is found in Central Park, shredded. He insinuates that she moved his body.
Tess laughs it off as crazy, and tells him to stuff it.. she has cleared Catherine off all previous charges against her, and IF he wants to investigate her (Tess), then go ahead and do it.. but he better go see the Union first.
Cut to the end: JT calls Tess and tells her that he thinks he is getting better from the serum he developed.. that he hasn't had a nosebleed in a couple hours.. does she want to come over and celebrate?/
Finally... VinCat are in some bar.. and talking about Bob.. and their future... we see Liam across the street watching them through the window.
This was quite a ride tonight!! Sniff sniff.. can't believe there's only 1 more episode to the season left!!!
Side note: for those of you visit the spoiler section, remember the spoiler or tidbit we got about a hockey game?
Well it seems that Tess got some kind of charity bid, to have JT fulfill one of his Bucket lists. To play in a hockey game.. or something like that. He gets to go out on the ice, ( this is at a Minor league NHL team), and he gets the chance to attempt to shoot a goal. And of course he does and does it spectacularly. Anyway.. on the way back home, JT calls her out on that and says he doesn't want her to do that anymore.
