It would be really nice if Vincent is in the room (the scene looks woody so i think it might be in the cabin) when Alex says "is something going on between you two" (as if she has any proprietary rights...) and finally comes clean about their relationship to Alex. But is HAS to be Vincent that explains it....I really think that is Step 1 in the healing/reconcilliation process for VinCat. ..... hopefully this will be where he starts to realize that he loves Cat more than his old life...
Alex can turn out to be a psycho AFTER Vincent chooses Cat.....then they can kill her off for all I care. But it has to be a CLEAR CHOICE so Cat's not sloppy seconds...
looking forward to next week....let the healing begin folks!

OK - 2nd time round (I always get to watch twice on Thursdays) Cat DID have some pretty big balls at the end when she told him his whole idea of "going away" with Alex was just a fantasy. I really, really hope that in the end he CHOOSES Cat - not that she's the one left standing b/c Alex freaks out at seeing Vince Beast out. And Vincent was definitely al me me me me me. I want to be the old Vinnie Keller, the doctor,etc..... not I really missed Alex and want to be with her. So I no longer see Vincent choosing between Cat and Alex. Instead, he's choosing between the "idea/fantasy" of his old life and his current life with Cat.... kinda cool..... OK, newfound appreciation for the writers I just bashed moments ago....

OMG - that was waaayyy to subtle for me. But you're right. he DOES keep saying he wants his old life back, etc... I don't think he ever really says he wants Alex..... Some small measure of comfort. See? That's why I love this forum... you guys made it all better... I'm serious too !

OK, I had missed the first few minutes of the ep (that before the first commercial). And am watching it now. Holy cow - I thought I wanted to smack Vincent before! Now I want to beat him with a friggin' bat!
Ooooohhhhh.....I love the twists and turns the writers take us on.....NOT! Twists and turns I can take. This is so not cool!
And Cat still hasn't told him to go eff himself!

The writers and producers are going to have to toss out a big bone to get people on board for next week. The was a deflating episode. I just don't get how Vincent can come back and say "Oh wait Catherine, Im sorry. It's you I love" after the ex leaves. The writers are up on twitter asking what you thought of tonights show. Someone should go over their and unleash on them politely, jive them a little. Tell them "Chandler the Handler handled that better then the their viewers,lol" Just did that. People were like "Writers, it was awesome! I just wanted to shake Vincent". So I asked why that made it good? It just made me disappointed. But to each his own, of course. Its evil, I know... but I couldn't resist. Right now, I think the writers quite possibly wrecked this show..... they know what the fans want....right? We don't really know what we want - the writers know best.. sorry....

I'm sorry but reading these comments make me a little disappointed in the fans. I feel like everyone is jumping to the gun that "Vincent is horrible, he doesnt love Cat" We all know the basis of this series is that Cat and Vincent are the end story. If things were perfect all the time it would be boring to watch. Vincent had a past...a past that had no closure. From what I watched everything came out natural. I thought the writers did a great job. I'm a fan for life. I'm not going to stop supporting them just bc things aren't "perfect." I can't wait for the next couple episodes bc I know we will get the love story thats been developing. You're absolutely right - Vincent had a past. But IMO the writers could have presented it differently, so that Vincent is torn without being a jerk. Example - He keeps letting Alex call Cat his handler. That is not acceptable, in any world. He doesn't have the balls to tell Alex that Cat is (or was) his GF, but that maybe, just maybe, he might want to take what Alex is offering. The world isn't perfect. We deal with imperfecft $hit everyday. Personally, I watch TV to get away from all that. Maybe others don't. Just saying.

I know.... I feel that way EXACTLY! The whole episode just felt like another TV show " Kind of like TVD (sorry, not a fan) or OUAT (which i like, but have never been obsessed with). I'm not sure how the writers are going to go back from this? I mean are we (and putting words into the storyline) and Cat just supposed to forget that Vincent actutally CONSIDERED choosing Alex and then forgive him when he realizes "oh sorry, i've been a jerk". I know that the spoilers say Vincent makes romantic gestures in the ep after Cold Turkey (Valentine's Day). But if a guy does that to a strong, independent woman, who typically doesn't get close to guys... she's gonna retreat.... we're gonna be at square 1 again....and even worse than square 1 b/c Vincent will have to make up for a world of hurt..... I just don't see it ...... the bubble has definitely been burst. I am so sad and disappoionted. (and yes, maybe a little melodramatic).

Boy...just reading your comments and seeing the reaction everywhere else...I'm now so disappointed and I haven't even watched it yet!! I have a long 2 hours to see this. By the looks of it, Vincent is still an ass, a selfish one at that....and so far, I'm wondering how in the world he can be redeemed? I'm glad to hear that Catherine finally gave him a piece of her mind...but the revelation that she actually says the words that she loves Vincent..WOW...was not expecting that. And at the end...Vincent rejects Catherine?? Seriously??? My emotions are ......and I haven't even watched yet!!!!!! AAARRRGH...... You gotta stop reading these BEFORE you watch. You're just gonna make it worse for yourself! Its not bad per se, it just...... disappointing.

Its actually somewhat comforting that a lot of people's reactions are so similar..... seemed kinda like stunned shock and "burst bubbles". I think that pretty much sums it up quite nicely...

I... I..... I......... I don't even know what to say....... I feel like our beloved show is ruined. How can we ever like Vincent again. I really think they went too far with this. I can understand the writers wanting to show Vincent being human and wanting to feel normal again, but it should NEVER be at the expense of Cat's feelings. I mean, he was apologising to her at the end like she was a stranger. WTH? There was absolutely no magic (which i think is why most of us got hooked). No spark. I am not angry this week - I was last week. That's probably a bad sign, b/c I literally feel nothing.... just apathy. Maybe I'll get mad as I think of it more, b/c then at least I'll feel something that will make me engage with the show again. Right now i feel a bit disconnected from it. Odd actually, since I've been so obsessed since October..

I'm soooooo nervous about tonite's eppy, how far things will go, and how seriously pissed off we'll all be when its over. I can't help but worry about what this will do to the series and the ratings. We watch this show b/c we love the love story... a lot of people like angst too, but will they stick around to watch when it gets all lovey dovey again?
I addicted one of my colleagues to this show over the hiatus. She watched all of the eppy's online, and then Seeing Red as it aired last week. Her comment was "what the hell was that? I didn't like it...". Sooooo..... other newbies may have the same reaction, even more so if tonight is worse than last week..... I hope the writers know what they're doing here...
I want to know more of the backstory behind both Vincent and Catherine, but not at the cost of the love....

Yeah, or something along the lines of ..."Alex is a part of my past and I will always love her.... But I love you more." Wouldn't that be COOL!!!! Oh, my little heart would go "pitter patter".

I think that the flowers are in the episode AFTER Cold Turkey which will air on Valentine's Day (Alex's LAST episode).
I agree, I would like to see Cat give Vincent the cold shoulder and he has to chase her just to talk to her....
Can't wait for next week! (can we please just skip this one?) *thinks of Alex dropping her towel in front of Vincen<edited> *shudder<edited>.

I so hear all of you! I really wish we could just skip this week's ep and get onto Cold Turkey! That is assuming, of course, that the healing begins by the end of the episode....
Ahhhh...... this week's BS in OTI is gonna hurt. Hopefully Cat goes to that event with Tess and has a fab time ..... and maybe Vincent trails them and watches - he needs to be jealous again! (love those eyes!)

LOL! Me too! Got me onto Twitter - I had never Tweeted before! Have watched every episode at least 3 times! Near the end of the hiatus, started reading the fan fic - which I NEVER do! Voted for PCAs thousands of times..when I have never EVER voted before... Think about this show WAY too much. I really, really don't get into TV shows all that much. My family and I watch OUAT regularly, but if I miss an ep, oh well - I'll catch up sometime. Other than that, TV is sporadic for me, with mostly reality stuff (Amazing Race, AI, Voice, etc), but that's it. This season, have been watching Chicago Fire (which I really like, but think that is Dick Wolf? who creates some really good stuff like Law and Order, etc), a bit of Arrow (but can take it or leave it) and of course BATB. Never before have I cared so much about a stupid TV show. I have no idea what's come over me, or WHY I am so obsessed, engaged, involved in this show and the characters. it does seem to be happening to a few people, so I know that I am not totally insane .
