Like Vincent Keller's fanfics. If the writers need help with the show, they should hire Katie. I can guarantee that the ratings will go up with one single episode THIS!!!! I just re-read some of 'Reboot' and all of 'Bring Me to Life' over the weekend! Katie sure knows how to write tearjerkers and angsty fics! Wish Katie and Sybil were our BATB writers Where can I find Katie's stories? I have read all of Sybil's work.

In the show's defense, I loved this whole season and it just keeps on getting better. Here's why: My love life has followed the same trajectory that this show has. I understand Vincent and Catherine's side of this because I have been there personally. I had to walk away from my man because he refused to save himself and it brought me down to the point that I didn't recognize myself trying to save him. Like Cat, I had to walk away. I understand her wanting to be in a real functional relationship because at this point to her, Gabe has been there when she needed him most unlike Vincent and she needs support, love and friendship. To the critics of the "amazing love" storyline who say they don't get it, I do see that love there. Only it's not the side of love that you think of in fairy tales where everything is happily ever after with lots of kisses and make out time. It's the tougher side of love that neither Vincent nor Cat lost for one another. Cat loved Vincent enough to stop him from killing her father in cold blood. She loved him enough to walk away if it meant that he'd wake up. Which he did. He came to his senses. Cat is seeking Gabe right now because it's tough being alone when all you know is someone's love who's been there for you. And yes, it does make you want to go to the one person who's been there along and you know loves you at the moment. Yes, the two of them made poor choices at times and got lost along the way, but remember those of you who watch the Once Upon a Time tv show, that "True love will always find each other." But true love has to start with knowing who I am and then it's a process of realizing that the other person really does love you and you them. That is real life, unfortunately, rather than a romanticized version of love. This is the beauty of what this show captures. I'm a fan, personally. ETA: I may be naive, but I don't think that Cat and Gabe got horizontal. They kissed yes, but I think it was too early in the relationship for both of them. I just assumed that he drove her home or she drove herself home since the horizontal wasn't shown on camera. Thank you :smiley_agree:too. Thanks for sharing Torik! I think True love will find a way. Thats why we need S3, so the writers dont have to rush so much into these episodes that the pace becomes unrealistic. Go Vote on Eonline save one show.

I understand what Torik is saying and I appreciate the comment but I have to come down on the side that Season Two is confused. I realize the writers wanted to turn everything on its head: Vincent is no longer hiding, he is a celebrity; Catherine and Vincent are no longer with each other, they are seeking other relationships. But at some point you have to ask: what happened to "we were meant to be"?
Is the story just about some beauties and some beasts?

Episode 2.13: Wait ... what?
Talk about an episode so fast paced the emotional thread is snapped. For Valentine's Day the romantic heart of this series is broken. Vincent is being noble (but at least - and at last - he remembers that he loves Catherine). She, on the other hand, changes her mind every five minutes. And Gabe I wouldn't trust to hold my coat.
Like JT, this is giving me an ulcer. The musical can't end this way.

WOW! That's a new one on me! I had no idea Vincent Keller writes fanfics! Now I'm really intrigued! Links please? Katie has written some of the best fics out there!! I have read some of her fics more than 3 times and some I have read at least 7 times! They're Clark and Lana from the show Smallville fics. I also ship that couple hard! I had been shipping them for nearly 15 years before BATB and VinCat graced my screen. I can't deny the amazing chemistry Clana have but for me VinCat is something else ( and JayKris/JayStin ) All her fics are stored in another forum I am a member of. It's a Clana forum. I'll put up the link for you once I get home or maybe Katie has them saved and can provide that link for you guys Trust me they are worth the read!!

I could finally rewatch the episode for a 2nd time and confirmed my feelings on few things: 1. Vincent is running from Catherine during ALL the episode, afraid of what? Being uncapable of containing himself and kiss her? Or just because he know she's not available and doesn't want to suffer being around her more than needed. I also wonder if he's SCARED to death that she may still love him... There were few situations where Catherine was quite "unsecure" and suggesting that she's hidding in their friendship and the guy just runs and runs and runs!!! lol! Oh Vincent! your weaknesses came back at full force. Responsability for everything happening around you, not feeling worthy, and being selfless towards Catherine because you love her... to the point of giving advices to Gabe and Catherine?? WTH?? that sentence to Gabe about take-outs at the end of the episode really ANNOYED ME!!! And I don't know if you noticed that basicly Vincent admits to Gabe that being "only" friend to Catherine is very difficult for him! So Gabe is conscious that Vincent still have feelings for Catherine? I wonder.. 2. Catherine is a MESS! So, she basicly is CONVINCED that Vincent loved Tori and that he's mourning her. She believes that Vincent is over their relationship and feels NOTHING for her but friendship. That convo at the bar scene made it clear to me, when she tells him: Are you afraid of seeming jealous? Because I get it. You are over our relationship, and you don't have to prove that to me by being pro-Gabe. Oh my godnessssss!!! this is such a messs!!!!!! Her "wavering" during this episode is exhausting. I was proud and happy that she was doubting on Gabe all the episode and even admited that, even if Gabe was not the bad guy, maybe she was avoiding going further with him... Ok, at the end, you decide to TRUST the guy but, does this mean that you are still willing to have a relationship with him?? Because based on your own words, maybe there are other "reasons" (a.k.a. Vincent Keller) that keep you from moving on!!! So WHY WHY WHY you finally accept Gabe to the point many of us suspect? For me it was clear that the heartbeat was because of Vincent around, not her suspicious about Gabe. And did you notice how she asked Vincent: "will you come to the rehersal dinner"? She was almost begging him! And Vincent is soooo weak when it comes to Catherine! lol! he was agreeing and accepting everything she was asking from him! oh these two... children... 3. Gabe... shady or not shady? that's the question! Arrgh! With this episode, they made so clear that he could be bad, to finally make us see that he isn't that I don't see how they can finally make him BAD! I still keep hope that he's baddie but not in the sense of the brain behind all the mythology but more like mean, selfish person. I still put my money on some deal with Reynolds to keep Catherine away from Vincent (which both are interested in) and who knows what else... Anyway, I love Sendhil but his chemistry with KK is -10!! Arrrgh! I cringed every time they were kissing! especially that one in the couch! it seemed too... wet?? 4. JT... ohhh... he's lovely! and a helpless romantic! I love how he was advising Vincent, cheering him up to woo Catherine. The comment about musical was hilarious! and Brangelina... OH I DIED! The thingy with Tess... I'm not seeing it... I don't see how he LOVES Tess. I think it's more of a crush on her... and well... Tess has lack of some , feels nicely surprised by JT details in St. V so she decides to have some action with him!!! Was it necessary? No!! I don't even want to imagine them together!! but I guess someone had to get some nice end in this ep... and obviously V didn't get it! and, IMO Cat and Gabe neither! 5. Sam.. I like this actor! I liked his performance and although it was quite previsible that he could be the bad, I trusted him when he said Gabe was the baddie! I guess I wanted it to be so badly (almost as much as Vincent ) that I didn't see behind that! What I still don't get is the reasoning for Sam to be baddie and which part he plays in all the mythology. I hope we will discover more in next episodes 6. Dana... I'm sorry for her character.. poor woman... so witness protection right? at least they didn't kill her! enough killing this season! lol! Bottom line, I liked the episode despite it was a bitter-sweet one. It's very frustrating witnessing Vincent and Catherine playing the cat and mouse game... and especially hurts seeing how lost Catherine is... and how wrong her choice of another guy is... I admit before the episode I expected a more romantic episode for VinCat, even though at the same time I didn't see how they could be all lovey dovey so fast. So the storyline is consistant with the path they are following and we need to suffer a bit more. As for the glances and stares, etc... and the so mentioned "magic" between them... I think it wasn't there too much on purpose. I mean, how could they share those stares if they were LITERALLY running away from each other? physically and emotionally? and when one was open to "try" the other one was not tunned and the other way around!! No way! If they wanted to portray Catherine being convinced that Vincent doesn't love her anymore, they couldn't share those stares!!!! I can only hope that next week catherine wakes up and with some JT help, she finally realizes that V still loves her!!!

So Im watching the episode a 3rd time (this time on the CW website to get the #s up) Im really trying to do my part. The heartbeat scene definitely was all about Vincent, IMO. The minute she found out he would agree to do the rehearsal dinner it calmed down. It also didnt increase when she was talking about Gabe. The racing part had everything to do about Vincent and not Gabe. Also, Catherine is just about begging Vincent to step in and do something about Gabe in the first part of the episode. I mean she's basically using their friendship to try to protect her.
Also, I froze the charges on Gabe's acct the Mexico purchase to me wasnt even the most suspicious. He had a 5k cash withdrawal, a transfer to a foreign acct, 1k to a pravaire, a charge to a chemical company. And another suspicious purchase at the Dubstep lounge. Wasnt that they shady lounge involved in Joe's brother's death. Remember Gabe was at the last costume ball trying to get info on the baddies in the episode following Joes bro death. Im just saying the Mexico purchase is looking pretty benign at this point. Plus you need your passport photo completed for ur passport application months before you leave the country... So im not buying that excuse either.
I think Catherine might be right in that Gabe is able to avoid Vincent's abilities. Either he has found a way to do it or learned a way from Reynolds.
