Beauty and the Beast

Previously on Beauty & the Beast...

Someone's willing to pay $5 million

- to capture a beast. - There's a bounty?

They may be after a beast, but they do not know it's Vincent.

But I do, I'm at risk now, too, which is why I'm giving you

the full resources of Homeland Security.

You don't work at NYPD anymore, you work for me now.

I don't want you to think that my turning down tenure

has anything to do with wanting to move in with you.

But it does, JT, it has everything to do with it.

It would be so stupid to take the next step

without you finding what...

whatever the hell it is you're looking for.

I mean, we're no closer

to finding whoever's put up this bounty

than when we first got back from our honeymoon.

Sorry.

He's a little cranky this morning.

Who isn't?

Cat, hey!

Geez, what, are you working all the time now?

Lately, yeah, and so is Vincent,

which is probably why he is a no-show.

We were supposed to have a coffee date together

after his graveyard shift, but I guess he got hung up again.

Sorry.

More eastbay stuff?

Pig Latin.

Code.

Oh. Oh, yeah, I get it.

Yeah, the sooner we figure out

who put out a bounty on, uh...

- Eastbay. - Eastbay.

The sooner Vincent and I can get back to being married.

Well, that'll be nice

considering you guys just got married.

Yeah.

Ugh, I have no idea how you can concentrate right now.

That would drive me crazy.

Really? It doesn't bother me.

Well, JT and I ought to have your new office

up and running today, so you can work

in some nice peace and quiet.

I'm so excited to show you.

I'm excited to see it.

Thank you again

for taking the lead on finding that place for me.

I have just... I have been crazed.

Yeah, no, don't mention it.

I've been having so much fun.

You'll love it. Kyle did.

Kyle?

Okay, Cat, give me a little credit.

All I did was tell him that you're a DHS agent now

and that you need an off-site office... that is it.

To find out who's after Vincent.

What if he found out?

Are you out of your mind?

Whoa.

I'm sorry.

Guess I'm just a little on edge right now,

trying to figure out who's behind all this

before the next attack.

Cat.

You're burning the candle at both ends, you and Vincent.

Trying to balance two demanding careers,

a marriage, that.

Something's gotta give.

Ow! Damn it!

This place is useless!

What are you talking about? This place is amazing.

Where else can you find so much space, natural light,

a Pilates studio downstairs?

Forget Pilates.

We need more power, amperage, volts.

Look, I don't think you understand,

but Cat's a special agent now, okay?

Yes, I've heard.

Which means she's gonna have federal access,

which means international databases, satellite surveillance.

Technology us tech guys can only dream of having.

I think we need plants in here.

Maybe a ficus?

Or gardenias.

Heather, listen to me.

This place isn't wired

for what Cat's gonna need to track down the beast buyer.

It's meant for a... clothing designer.

And now it's meant for Cat.

Can't you just bring in, like, extension cords or something?

Really? Ow!

Perfect.

Bummed about Tess, are we?

No, this isn't about Tess.

It's about trying to stop whoever wants to capture a beast

before they find out about Vincent.

It's about those stupid conspiracy bloggers

who are hell-bent on proving

that a beast really exists

despite my best attempts to discredit them.

- It's about... - Tess?

Yes, okay, it's about Tess.

This is exactly why I didn't know

how to tell her I turned down tenure.

You followed your heart.

You realized you didn't want to be a professor

for the rest of your life.

You made a decision, that's all.

One that might have cost me Tess.

Maybe, maybe not.

Look, all relationships go through changes, JT, challenges.

You know that... look at Vincent and Cat.

They go through them all the time.

And God knows they're going through a doozy right now.

Yeah, Cat, look, I can't talk very long.

I got multiple injuries.

Nurse, can you, uh, get a CT scan, stat, cranial?

How are you holding up?

Well, I didn't expect to pull a double shift,

but I've taken so much time off lately.

Plus I had to deliver three babies last night.

Guess that's a record, huh?

There's got to be something in the air.

Well, I'm calling because Deputy Secretary Hill called me.

It sounded urgent. I'm headed there now.

What, has he got a lead?

He didn't say, but something is up.

He said that someone might have found out

that he's the one who's been protecting your secret.

- Another bounty hunter? - I don't know,

but I'll let you know when I find out.

I miss you.

Yeah, I miss you, too.

Coding, he's coding.

Can I help you?

- Are you Dorothy? - Yes.

I'm Catherine Chandler, Agent Chandler.

Oh, right, Deputy Secretary told me about you.

- Welcome to DHS. - Thank you.

- Uh, is he around? - No, um...

I don't know where he is, actually.

What do you mean?

I mean he didn't show for work,

which is really unusual.

He called me 20 minutes ago from home.

Told me to meet him here, he said it was urgent.

- Well... - Wait.

Where does he live? What's his address? Hurry.

- There. - Thank you.

Vincent.

I think they might have found Hill.

I think he might be in trouble.

Come on.

You knew it was a matter of time before somebody figured it out

that your agent knew who the beast was,

and you had to know, too, right?

Come on!

Let them go.

Hey.

Don't be a hero.

You tell me who it is, or after I kill you...

I'll kill them, too.

It's gonna be okay.

Five... four...

- Please. - three...

two...

Drop your weapon.

- Now. - Not a chance.

Last chance.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Better than him anyway.

At least we finally got a chance to see each other.

Yeah.

At least we got there in time to save his life.

Yeah, but we almost didn't, right?

And if we hadn't,

Secretary Hill's whole family would have been killed.

So what do you guys think?

That was way too close, you know it.

What are we supposed to do?

Even you can't be two places at once.

Speaking of places,

how about this one? Isn't it great?

Yes, it is wonderful, Heather, thank you.

- Needs more plants. - Right?!

Did I not say that?

I'll get it.

Vincent, we are doing the best that we can.

I know, I know, but for nothing else,

this attack on Hill, it proves

that this beast bounty is very real,

and it's getting closer to me.

I know, I am just as frazzled as you are.

But you're not juggling two jobs.

You know, this is your job.

Are you saying that this is harder for you than me?

No, I am not saying that, I'm just...

I don't know, we can't keep this up.

You know, we're like two ships passing in the night.
