Hey Fire and Ice, I can't agree with you more. I am now extremely worried about the fate of our beloved show. They did turn Vince(nt) into a jerk, and then blamed their lack of progress on Cat. Um, hello, hospital? She was completely and utterly smitten.... I'm just going to be a broken record and keep saying I HATE THIS F'ING STORYLINE and although I'm glad the show is back, I did not like this episode. This storyline with the EX makes absolutely no sense to me. At the end of the Ep Vincent was talking about "watching her for 9 years, and knowing her pattern of going out with Bad Boys that she doesn't have to get close to or serious with." Um, hello, so how many times in those 9 years did you check in on Alex to make sure she was ok? based on they way it went, it would appear that number would be ZERO. So WTF? And I agree that Alex's character is needy and whiney. Yet within minutes of rediscovering her, you have a lip lock with her, despite being scared <edited>less, what - the previous day, that Catherine was going to die!!! Yet you've never even given Cat a peck on the goddamn cheek! THE LAST LINE - YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved all of this. TY! Spot on. I really think that they needed to somehow ADDRESS that kiss. At least have Vincent fess up that maybe they haven't kissed b/c Cat knows about the beast and Alex doesn't so he doesn't have any fears there.... but no, they just left it hanging with no acknowledgement that it even happened!!! Um, hello, GF? At least call the MoFo out on it. Holy crap! And so no one gets me wrong, this has nothing to do with BR - the actress is beautiful. I would feel the same way about the character regardless of who they got to play the part. F'ing stupid show! Seriously. Thank you, thank you. I was starting to think I was one of the few that watched this episode. I don't know if its because the actors and writers talk to fans on Twitter, or Beasties are just loyal to the end...but... this was a bad episode. If that makes some of you guys dislike me, oh well. I'm a fan of the show, but I can say I disliked an episode.
Twitter is interesting right now. People are getting a little crazy on there. Some have taken to bashing the writers and cursing. That being said! While I disagree with some of the language being used, I disagree with the fans that are defending the writers. I actually think it's OK to tell the writers you didn't like their writing. They are writers. Not everything they write is going to be gold. Just because they talk to the fans more than some other TV writers do doesn't make them gods. If you loved the episode? Good for you. I didn't. I thought a lot of it was poorly written in comparison to past episodes. I felt that we went backwards in quality and drastically backwards at that. There were some elements I liked. Evan. That's it. If Evan was on screen it was good. The rest of the show ::thumbs down:: Why? Pacing issues. Too much over-the-top melodrama. I hate to say this next reason because I've defended this show so this hurts so much to type.... Overacting. (Oh God! That hurts to say.) Oh my gosh, you guys, surely I am not the only Beastie who laughed at how cheeseball some of the episode was!!! Even Vincent's "watch me be cool" beast in-beast out and firing a gun thing while he does some tumbling...I was like, "Eh..." The last episode was so beautifully paced, acted, and written. That is not just because I'm a VinCat fan. This is not about Alex, even if she is a terrible excuse for a female character. (Seriously hoping this is all an act and she's evil because no one is that ridiculous.) This was not a good episode for people to first tune in to. It was subpar to even the the first two episodes... and we know how the Pilot turned people off. If I had known it was going to be like this, I wouldn't have told people to watch it. Other episodes, when I told people to give it a try...it worked. This episode? Didn't. These are people that know NOTHING about the show. They literally were like, "This is terrible."

So I just started to watch the episode. I have to say that Evan did a fantastic job at saving Cat's life. She had a pneumothorax (collapse lung) and he inserted a "tube" to re-expand her lung. MB did a great job. I think I am liking Evan too, Jacki! by far he was the best tonight! have loved max from before but tonight i fell in love with evan!

BTW, anyone who was upset with Cat for "using" Vincent to help rescue Evan---Vincent and Catherine are well beyond even now, after she dragged herself out of her hospital bed, got shot at AGAIN and helped him save Alex.

OK ... have calmed down and had time to process what I was seeing ... and really have nothing good to say ... Alex was too needy and clingy. It has been ten years, honey. Get over it. Vincent casting doe eyes at his ex made me shudder and then showing up at Cats as if all is well only to cast doubt on her feelings for him made my head explode! ... and don't get me started on the teaser ... yuck ... Bright spot? ... Evan Totally agree, Summer. Alex is a psychopath. No joke. She didn't act like she loved Vincent; she acted like she was obsessed with Vincent. Her stalker came off more balanced. So Vincent totally killed a guy with a gun and we're all cool with that??? At least he wiped off his fingerprints for once...still, someone buy that guy a permanent set of gloves. So Cat can't be like, "Hey dickwad, you were liplocking another woman, don't you dare come in here and tell me that you cheating is my fault?!" How is Cat still walking? Does no one in her life care that she almost died??? ....other than Evan. Vincent is a lying, cheating jerk. I am sorry that I liked him at all this past season. Cat deserves better...but not Evan. Evan is too good for Cat. Seriously. Evan was pure magic this episode. I have no clue where that came from. Evan, please go find a girl who will love you for you. But that is not Cat. I'm not saying that because I used to ship VinCat, I'm saying that because she'll always be pining after the Vincent from episodes 1-9. RIP Decent Vincent.

I am seriously debating whether to watch this episode tonight. Knew Vincent was going to be a jackass, yet, just was not expecting him to be this bad.

MB did a great job. I think I am liking Evan too, Jacki! I know. I'm about to go draw hearts all over pictures of Evan... hahahaha. j/k. Seriously though, this is the best material they've given MB and he delivered!!! DAMN. That boy can act! He made this episode. I cannot believe it. I never thought there'd be an episode of BATB where someone other than the Beauty or the Beast was the reason I kept watching. And, for the record, I hated Evan before this episode. If he had died in the episode where Vincent saved him, I would've been cool with it.If it had been just for VinCat, I would've turned off the episode right after Vincent somehow went from Cat - to being spotted to be Alex - to being with JT - to then somehow being back in the hospital with Cat - and then with Alex... I was like "Is he running? What is happening?" This had me even more confused than the fact that he conveniently was right in the area after Cat was shot. Cat is the man too...............she rips out her IV and leaves the hospital and saves Alex!! Cat is a Hero!! She deserves a Hero! I agree that she was a hero. I disagree that it is that easy to walk out of a hospital. Tess, you little minx,....having drinks with Joe in the Precinct. suzieq, the fact that you know the word "minx" just made you even cooler.

exactly i think that the best part and the why i saw the episode was because of max and his beautiful rendition of evan today, i really love this side of evan... honestly i kinda felt as if it was an alternate universe and evan is acting like the original decent vincent and that vincent got the whole player vibe evan had at the beginning..... now i feel so bad that i didnt like Evan at first,..... it appears as if something big happened in his life that made him that way... maybe he was a surgeon and the love of his life died at the operating table and he couldnt do anything so he left being a surgeon and went to have the player, e month rule vibe?!!!

Reyna, it's bad...it's so bad that I forced myself to zone out on parts of the episode so I wouldn't turn the channel. There have been moments on episodes where I was like "Oh brother" and rolled my eyes. The episode would come back on. I'd watch it again, and again, and again. If I never saw this episode again, I'd be fine with it. Regarding Vincent, it was a bad re-write of his character.
