So well said Fire and Ice and asalb. Glad to know I am not the only one who is disappointed in this episode. It seemed so disconnected from Bridesmaid Up, it didn't make sense to me. How did we go from that amazing dance and the confessions at the hospital between Vincent and Catherine at the beginning of the episode, to suddenly Vincent lying about Catherine, throwing all caution out the window to be with Alex after not doing so for 10 years, then blaming their lack of a relationship on Cat? And how he had that embrace and kiss with Alex, knowing Catherine saw it, then he just shows up at her place like nothing happened. He also knew Catherine was hurt again, but leaves her to fend for herself and goes after Alex. That was very unBeast like. He's been keeping tabs on her for 10 years! And protecting her recently too, this time she was on her own. It just didn't make sense after the first 9 episodes, knowing how cautious and guarded Vincent has been, that suddenly he thinks Catherine should have been more aggressive with him? Again, that confuses me. I am sadly not really looking forward to more of this next week. I wanted to love it, but really didn't like it at all. Sorry if I just reiterated what's already been said, just so glad to vent! but I'm happy to have found this forum!

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. LOL!! You crack me up Jacki!! Evan, redressing Cat's wound.........SEXY!! I am falling for Evan so hard right now!! Just a pet peeve of mine......is Alex a Doctor or a nurse, they referred to her as both? She acts like a nurse. Vincent is looking like a guilty jerk to me right now. And yes, Alex seems very whiny and needy!!

Did I read somewhere that the release of all those spoilers in the last 24 hours seemed like damage control ... as if the producers were expecting a backlash? Seems likely to me now cause this episode was a complete load ... Who were those characters? ... nobody I had come to know and love in the previous 9 episodes. They had better wrap this up quick.

Yes, Evan was my hero tonight. In previous Eps I've always thought him to be a bit needling and cheesy, but not tonight. He was great!
Maybe the writers will see all the negativity and do some quick fixes in the next ep so that we don't all jump ship. So help me, if Vincent puts his hands on a naked Alex, I really think I'll be done! There will really be no going back for me, b/c THAT is so far from redeemable in the context of this show (i.e. a romance) that they won't be able to salvage Vincents honor. Remember BATB wirtiers, there heroes in Romances are never perfect, but THEY HAVE HONOR!!!!!! Vincent did NOT have honor in tonights ep. And the writing did not portray a guy who had previously pined for his lost lady love, tormented by not being able to say goodbye... and so was COMPELLED to see her (and kiss her). BS! The only way they could have salvaged that would have been to have Vincent tell Cat that her nurse is his ex fiancee who he didn't get to say goodby to, and then have Cat encourage him to tell her... but no, Vinnie went to see/tell her b/c he just HAD to...
Stupid show!

Freaking West Coast...ugh, I still have 15 minutes when BATB comes in...but I've read the reviews...and it does not look good. And I JUST KNEW I would be hating Vincent in all this and it looks like that will be the case. Just reading your reactions, I don't know if I have the sanity to watch this live! Vincent being a big jerk is such a huge turnoff...he lies to Catherine...WTF??? He kisses his Ex...seriously, how heartbreaking is this damn episode? Judging by the reactions by a lot of people on this eppy, I would not be surprised if people start tuning out. I went and watched the teaser for the next episode..and seriously, show? Freakin Ex drops a damn towel in front of Vincent?? C'mon now. Ridiculous. And how dumb is this Alex chick? This guy hasn't even told you the truth yet about where he's been all this time and you are ready to just jump in the sack with him??? I am dreading watching this..but I cannot look away...must watch even though I'll be pissed before I sleep tonight.

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?!!! I was thinking the same thing, oa. It was like the writer's only know how to write a confident guy as a jerk. Vincent even used the same Evan moves on Cat at the end. How reminiscent was that scene of Evan telling Cat it had to rain sometime combined with him saying that she didn't pull away combined with him going for the fake out kiss and then getting that cocky smile and walking off down the sidewalk. In this, Vincent was lying. Saying Cat didn't mean anything to him to Alex. Said Cat was nothing to him more than a handler?! Really? He couldn't have even said friend? And then he tries to blame all of his @-holeness on Cat? No, no, no, Vincent. overall i honestly have to say that it is the WORST batb episode to date, well exclude evan of this case it was his beat show! Now, now. To date, for sure. But don't forget we have next week!!! ;D The show is sure to get even more cheesy bad! ::end sarcasm:: I was nice on Twitter, btw. But even I had to do this... @batbwriters Got a question, what do I say to my friends (who I begged to tune in) when they say they'll never tune in again? #BatB #ratingsAnd they responded with some ridiculousness as if they are now poets or philosophers... @jackivenezia tell them they're missing out. Great stories, like life, are filled with hills and valleys.Tell my friends they are missing out? After tonight's episode, I want to tell people to run away before they end up like me, invested in a show that can't doesn't know how to handle a romance. Great stories, like life, are filled with hills and valleys? Really? Ok. I didn't even respond to this. It came across as so condescending. My friends are not children and some of them are writers who have or do work on TV shows... That's all I'm going to say. I'm just annoyed. I was waiting to convince certain people when I thought the show had fully hit its stride. I thought the show was perfection by episode 9. This episode was a huge set-back. Like what just happened - what did I just watch kind of thing.

I actually liked the end of BATB with the scene of VinCat. Yes Alex was a past love of Vincent's, they were suppose to get married, you can't just turn those feelings off, they are always going to be there.
But at the end of the day Vincent went to Cat. He wants Cat, he is in love with her, you can see it in the way he looks at her. He almost lost her and he's right he's watched her for years and he does know her patterns, she runs. Vincent knows he's fighting a losing battle. He can't make Cat see that they can move forward, Cat has to see that on her own. Vincent is ready to move on with Cat and before Cat knew about Alex, she was ready too then Alex comes along and Cat runs, because she's afraid.
I'm not worried about Alex and I don't think Vincent was being a jerk, he was calling Cat out. Cat is pushing Vincent to Alex but in the end Vincent won't be able to let go of Cat.
This is why I love this couple.

I thought the EXACT same thing when I saw Jay Ryans TV Guide (or whatever it was) story that was realeased today that had sooooo many spoilers in it. I was like, woah, he just gave away A LOT of stuff.... definitely seems like damage control to keep the fans watching b/c we know a bit more of how it'll all turn out. Still, the characters all did a complete 180 this ep, and seemed nothing like themselves. Cat, as a stong, independent woman WOULD have called Vincent out. Like, WTF? Am I your GF or not? but no, instead she's injured, and timid and waiflike (wrt Valex). such BS!

No, no, no, Vincent. honestly even a helper would have been better than handler and if i where cat i would have slapped him so hard when she knew he called her a handler! and what happened to knowing that cat was here and dont get me started with the whole ill protect you but you just got shot went out the hospital to help save my ex fiancee who i am about to kiss almost gets shot again and i only give you your gun back, not even helping you to get up, ask if you are ok or look at you when you call me???!! seriously what the hell!!!! this is just wrong in so many levels!

So. What's up with Vincent being able to control the beast so well an so fast? That was a plot point tied up in a nice little bow, no? Is it part of his mutating DNA that's for the better?
