OK. I watched it, twice. The first time was as if I'd been kicked in the stomach! The second time, rewinding at the key parts put a different slant on things. Sort of.
It was a good episode, until Gabe & Tori showed up, Vincent beasted out & took an ax to Bio-Dad. [Memo to Self: Never keep an ax in the house!]
Then things went downhill from there! Vincent apologizes for what happened & asks B-D not to ruin everyone's lives. Bio-Dad gives Vincent an ultimatum: disappear from Catherine's life or he will turn her in, to save her. That Vincent would be doing the same if he walks away. Tori beasts out during dinner, breaks table, turkey goes flying. Shock & heart attacks all around!!
Vincent is torn! Tori finds him in the orchard, whining about how he's the only one, no one else wants her around. blah, blah! Obviously the animal kicks in, he says "I can't", she goes for liplock. He doesn't push her away. He senses Catherine watching them, shocked.
He goes after her & says "for the record, she kissed me". He's visibly upset! Catherine is very upset & says things that really don't help the situation. A big Vincent speech, [like the "I've never been so out of control as when I'm with you" speech] That he's not fine, not at all, she needs to walk away. If she doesn't walk away, he will. She's in shock, he looks like he's going to cry. Catherine turns & leaves.
Reynolds has his "driver" take Tori back to town. Catherine upstairs crying, Reynolds tells Vincent that there's a new target at Tori's building. Lends V his car to check it out. Gabe tells Catherine that JT&T heard church bells in the background of the Handler's tape. As they're leaving, the church bells ring. Shock!! Pennies dropping!! Vincent enters Tori's apartment, she's tied & gagged, bomb timer goes off. The End.
The last 1/3rd was painful to watch! Did I like what I saw? NO. Do I wish it wasn't written like this? YES! Will I stop watching BatB? HECK NO!!
I'm looking forward to 208. Should be very interesting. IMO, Vincent will be fighting his beast side & it won't be easy. Again, he'll be alone & tormented by what he's done.

Hi Beastiegirl great recap could not have said it better. Question did you get the feeling that Vincent kissed Tori back bc he knew Cat was there, so it would be easier to leave with her angry.

Well, this all blows my previous theory to smithereens!!!! Sure was hoping it would end up like my theory instead of this . . .

I haven't watched yet, and I'm already ABSOLUTELY disgusted. I feel on the verge of done with this show. Does anyone have an idea who is the BEST person to tweet or send hate mail to regarding this situation? I promise to be polite but disgusted. How awful. How to kill a show that fans absolutely LOVE in 7 episodes or less. #BATB. Disgusting. I can't think of another word right now. I suggest a nice wine, Latte, tea or whatever liquid refreshment helps calm your nerves. And watch 207 at least twice before you get ulcers over it! I understand what the writers have done & why. Do I like it? NO. But I understand. Wait till this arc ends, things will get better. I'm hoping Tori will take her Dad's $$, move to Switzerland & doesn't send postcards!

I have been thinking this the entire time. It's the way he looked around when Cat came and saw them. I feel like it was the 'easy way' for her to be able to leave him and be mad at him.

The more i am thinking about it the more i think this needed to happen, not necessarily how it played out, but they needed to be completely broken and this is one of the ways of doing it. i will re-watch and post my review later on but it will be a positive one Exactly. I agree 100% I am royally pisses off but they want to break down them to the core and then work on rebuilding them again. No one can tell me that the Vincent and Catherine we've been seeing is truly a couple, 100% committed like they were by the end of last season. The people we see now, are not even close to those people and that IMO is why they took this (ever risky) route. Cat can keep pretending but she does not fully trust V, not the way she did before and Vincent isn't even truly Vincent. What I saw here was Bob manipulating and twisting ever circumstance and opportunity he could for is to get to the point we got to in this ep. Then with V, he sacrificed himself as a result if these manipulations. This ep hurt, a lot, I cannot lie but that pain will never stop me from supporting BATB and loving this show. It's a lot to take in and frankly painful but I truly believe there will be a light at the end of the tunnel (see Tough Love after Alex debacle) I will keep the faith. exactly my thoughts, i thought i would be completely alone on this, but so glad u and others feel the same

^ 100% yes and thanks for coming out of the shadows with your very insightful comment. I agree wholeheartedly. Both Vincent and Catherine have done some questionable stuff this season. I'm just worried by the comments that people will stop watching and there won't be another season. Hopefully, it's just the "heat of the moment" talking. I love reading all the posts on this site in the shadows but never felt the urge to post until now.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Oh boy, it's going to get so good.

Hi, I am freaking out. I didn't have a chance to watch the ep yet, but all your comments.
Is the kiss a fake one that Vincent pulled off with Tori trying to push away Cat for her own sake?

No. He would never do that to hurt her. IMO, he fought the urge & felt Catherine's presence. He pulled away from Tori because of C. It broke his heart to say those things to her but felt he was protecting her by leaving.
Jay is so great with facial expressions! The best I've seen in a long, long time!!

I watched it and really loved it. I can't wait for the next episode. All I can say is that Vincent is really in love with Cat. I watched it again, to me Vincent knew Cat was there when Tori kissed him. Please watch it tomorrow.

Tums anyone? . . . anyone? . . . Bueller?
Definitely making a trip to the pharmacy tomorrow before ep starts to pick some up. That and some chocolate . . . Maybe a bullet-proof shield for my TV so I won't break it by throwing things at it.
That's my shopping list tomorrow before 8 p.m. CST. Any other suggestions?!?!?!
