Guys, I have NO idea how this thread got locked when I specifically unlocked it. MAJOR apologies for the inconvenience and utter fail on my part. The only thing I can think was that it re-locked when I modified the first post. Won't happen again.

Yay!!! The thread is open!!! Okay, so before I go into detail about the episode, I want to express my displeasure with this Valex S/L. I begged friends since December to watch this show. Begged & begged. Before the episode was over I started getting text messages that they won't be coming back for episode 11.
My mom who watched the episode with me started playing Sodoku before the episode was halfway through. She just said "This isn't a good episode." She was the one who turned me onto the show!
Then at the end my mom had this, "That's it?" face. (Though she didn't think Vincent was that big of a jerk, which I completely disagree with.)
I told my mom that the fiancee S/L was for the next 3 episodes and she said, "This is a show killer."
My mom is the most optimistic TV watcher on the planet!! No joke. She is always like "Oh no. Was that cancelled? How did that happen?" This is the first time I've ever heard her say that a show may actually be one-and-done and I felt like I was going to throw up.
And, truthfully, if I wasn't worried about the ratings (which the average fan isn't), I wouldn't be tuning in for the next 2 episodes.
As for the Alex character - hate her even more than I thought I would. She's whiny and lame.
Best character of the episode? Evan! How the heck did this happen? But I'm totally in love with Evan right now. And I've always found his character a little annoying...
Regarding, VinCat, I'm going to need some time to process this episode and I need to get back to studying but... WTF.
My mom said Vincent didn't really bug her. Vincent completely bugged me. He came across as a guy who wanted to have his cake and eat it too.
And at the end of the episode I was like "WHOA-WHOA, they're actually going to blame this on Cat?! Um, no."
Cat was all over you in the hospital, Vincent. Or do we so quickly forget? Sorry that she's not all happy you spent the entire episode lying to her and that she has enough self-esteem to doubt whether it's good to get with a jerk like you.
Vincent, you're no longer my fave character.
Evan...Even though I don't want to see you with Cat, you just became my fave character.
Cat...If you had pushed Vincent out the window at the end of the episode, you would've been my fave character, but I understand that you were injured. (Even though no one else on the show was like "Oh Cat, are you okay?" other than Evan!!! Seriously, a nurse & a doctor weren't like, "You shouldn't be out of bed!")
Heather...or, rather, the actress playing Heather, great emotion at the beginning of the episode!
Tess...sorry you didn't have more to do in this episode. Though they never seem to give you anything to do.
JT...sorry the majority of your funny lines were spoiled in spoilers. But I like you better than Vincent for now, though that doesn't mean much. Why am I sorta disliking you? Because for someone who is supposed to be helping a guy in hiding...you sure gave away TMI to Cat in one phone call.
Alex...You are an example of a poorly written female character. The fact that Vincent would be attracted to such a whiney, needy person makes Vincent less attractive. That's right. You just made Jay Ryan somehow less attractive. Congrats. (I have never seen this actress before, so I will not blame her for the performance. I will instead blame the writers and the director as I think it really was just how the character was written and how the actress was directed to act.)

I liked the Alex storyline...I like that Vincent is the kind of man who needs to have some closure about that part of his life. I like that He is still able to have feelings for her after all this time. It says to be his relationships were not very flighty. That gives me hope for the future of Catcent.
I agree with Vincent that Cat needs to decide why they aren't moving forward. I really think he's ready now....after he and Alex get their stuff straightened out...I think Vincent is ready to be with Cat... BUT id Cat ready to trust someone that much...for all the talk on the show about Vincent's trust issues I think Cat's are worse.,
Anyway, I loved the addition of Alex to the canvas....she'll serve a wonderful job if all she does is make Vincent smile a few times...cause we don't see that gorgeous smile nearly enough for me.

I was in the city during the first half hour of the episode, so I missed the beginning, but I caught the last 27 minutes or so and I must say that when Vincent kissed his ex my whole family went, "Ohhhhhh!" Then we were getting quiet and Catherine saw it and we started all over again. Also, my Vincat hopes are crushed, gah.

So......BaTB was pre-empted in my area for an ACC Basketball game! Don't know what that will do for the ratings. I don't know if I want to watch this episode @ 11pm......because, frankly, I don't want to go to bed pissed off......which seems highly likely! I think I will be hating on Vincent.........this is going to be painful.

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!
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!

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

evan for surprisingly being the most charming character of the night! I know!! WTH happened to Evan's character?! He was the best part of this episode by far. If it hadn't been for his scenes, I would've been more tempted to turn off the TV. So......BaTB was pre-empted in my area for an ACC Basketball game! Don't know what that will do for the ratings. I don't know if I want to watch this episode @ 11pm......because, frankly, I don't want to go to bed pissed off......which seems highly likely! I think I will be hating on Vincent.........this is going to be painful. If you don't want to go to bed pissed off, don't watch it tonight. Watch it tomorrow at the CW's website.

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!
