Ep 5:

Coffee shop. Vincent asks Cat if she has the concert tickets, yet. Still working on it. She says it's hard to break the habit of looking into things that go bump in the night. She's still obsessing about Bob and Carol. He says it's been weeks. He says we're going our separate ways today. Doctor's orders. He'll be out of cell reception during the day. Cat suddenly runs out, thinking she saw Carol. Vincent brings her coffee and tablet. He reminds her everything is okay. I am okay.

Cat and Tess. Cat says it's difficult because I worry about Vincent. Tess gives her a case. Armed robbery. Meet Det. Wesley Atchison, your new partner. Cat asks him to give them a minute. Tess says I need numbers up, which means I need you present. I can't always cover for you. And do not pester JT, either. He has his own issues to deal with. His healing is accelerating. He doesn't even need his glasses anymore. So he doesn't need to be looking into your mysteries, understand?

Cat calls JT. He says you never let go. She admits it's about Bob and Carol. He says they keep going back and forth on the Brooklyn Bridge. He thinks Bob and Carol can see the world in slow motion. They have to see for their powers to work. Tess texts JT to hang up now.

Vincent calls JT. Maybe I'm worried about me. Going primal alone. JT says think of how far you've come. Her love is with you always. Trust that.

Cat and the rookie with the robbery victim. Cat sees a blonde and runs off again. Rookie follows her and asks if something's wrong. You totally left me back there. She says no, nothing's wrong.

Carol calls Bob and says Cat won't take the bait of following her. Bob says we have to bring back the Beast. Only way to do that is to make sure Catherine can't save him. She says I won't let you down. He says you never do. Bob has a hostage to lure Vincent.

Vincent driving upstate. Cat calls him at 11:48am. Not noon. What's up? She says I got saddled with a new partner. And says Carol's name instead of Tess. Have you been chasing ghosts again? She says I didn't go down the rabbit hole. But....she feels something bad will happen. He says we have to have faith we'll get through it. Reception breaks up. Call ends. Rookie brings her coffee.

Bob tells Carol that you have to make it look like Cat died in the line of duty. We'll never get the antidote for this serum if we mess this up. She says we'll go down swinging, then. Like we always do. Then she calls 911 and reports a murder.

Cat and rookie on the scene. Rookie says that was an impossible shot. Cat says Carol can. Cat tells him to get uniforms on all the rooftops. Carol might still be close. Cat leaves Vincent a message.

Vincent in the woods. Dodges Bob's arrows. Not bad, Vincent! Let's see what else you can do.

Vincent hears the hostage calling for help.

Cat tells Tess I need to find Vincent. Carol is stalking me. Trying to draw me out. Let me go after her. Tess says I need proof. That's an order, Detective. Phone rings. JT. It's about Bob and Carol. Of course it is. I had to pull rank with Cat. JT thinks he found where Bob and Carol live. A Brooklyn brownstone. Tess will pick up JT.

Cat with the rookie. He wants to be clued in. She just tells him to check out some meth labs.

Vincent reaches the hostage. Can you walk? Vincent gets him standing and Bob shoots the guy in the head. Vincent asks what do you want from me?

Tess and JT at the house. She's a little cranky. JT spots a map. He sees markings. She doesn't. He picks up a blacklight. It's a kill zone. Cat was right. You call Vincent, I'll call Cat. Voice mail. JT's going to find Vincent. Tess tells him don't do anything stupid.

Cat and the rookie. Meth matches a lab that used to be here. No cell signal. Cat tells him to get out and go back to the precinct! We've been compromised. Carol shoots him. Cat gets him in the car. Drive! He leaves. Cat goes in the building.

JT gets to the scene. Hears shots. Vincent keeps behind the trees.

Carol hits Cat. they fight. For the record, it was Bob's idea to blow you up. Cat runs for her gun and shoots out the lights. Carol and Cat fight in the shadows.

Vincent sees footprints. Bob says I won't be that easy to find. I want to see what you can really do. Vincent asks why didn't you try to capture me weeks ago? bob says we didn't know who you were. Vincent asks who you're working for? Bob says come out and face me. Bob says if you want to save your precious Catherine..... Vincent lights a makeshift bomb. Beasts out and tosses it in Bob's face. Bob tumbles down a hill. Vincent Beast runs at him. Bob stays low, then shots Vincent with tranq darts. You passed every test, Vincent. Congratulations. Boss will be surprised to know you actually exist. Sorry about Catherine. I know how I'd feel if I lost Carol. Bob drags Vincent away.

Cops arrive at the building. Tess gives orders. Cat walks Carol out in cuffs. Thanks for the back-up, but I got it. Atchison is going to be okay. Tess says they split you up on purpose. Cat asks Carol where's Vincent? Carol says somewhere not even your love can save him anymore.

*Wonder if there's really an antidote, or if Bob and Carol are just led to think there is? And did they volunteer or were they innocent experiments like the others?

Dark in the woods. JT sees Vincent driven away. He tries calls Tess. Bob's got Vincent and he's getting away. I've got a stupid plan. If it doesn't work, I love you.

Cat with Carol in interrogation. Carol says Vincent can't save himself. You're inseparable to a fault. Cat says how do you know we haven't grown? Carol says codependency doesn't change overnight. Cat says Vincent will walk through that door, not Bob. Give me a name and I'll help you. Carol says only Bob can help me now! Tess bursts in yelling at Carol. Cat says let me do my job. We have to have faith in Vincent and JT. Tess tells Carol, if JT's dead, you're dead.

Bob finds JT in the road. Holding a tree branch. Vincent tells JT to run. JT says no. Can't. Vincent says don't be stupid! JT tells Vincent to save himself. Bob rams JT. Then gets out of the truck. Vincent breaks the chains and tackles Bob. Hand on Bob's throat. Vincent is too strong for Bob to use his knife. Vincent squeezes and kills him. JT appeals to Vincent. Vincent remembers Cat. Season 1 flashbacks. He calms down. Vincent examines him. JT says I'm healing, but not very fast. It was his plan to get Vincent to go primal. It was a Hail Mary for both of us. JT is burning up. Let's get you to the hospital. At least they have a truck....

Vincent calls Tess. JT will be okay? Cell cuts out. Cat says JT will be okay. Tess says maybe I'm not cut out for this job. Cat says you were born for this job. Tess apologizes for doubting Cat on Bob and Carol. Cat says you don't need to. We just busted Carol, the murderer of a DHS agent. They need to tell Carol about Bob. Carol sees it on their faces through the window. She collapses. Cat says Carol stopped her heart. She loved Bob more than anything.

JT's place. He's freezing cold. JT says getting hit by the truck, my system got shocked. Don't know why I'm alternating between freezing and burning up, though. Tess hits him. By the way, I love you, too.

Coffee shop again. Vincent asks Cat if she got the concert tickets. You mean these? Yes. Cat says I don't think their boss knows who you are, yet. Vincent is worried. Cat asks you did it all on your own? Just like you did. She asks if he would stop his heart for her. He says every time I see you. They kiss.

Next week - Cat's dad gets a visit. And there's a bachelor party with a stripper courtesy of JT.
