Our 5 Favorite Episodes From Season 1 Of Beauty And The Beast

The CW's Beauty and the Beast isn't exactly the Disney classic you grew up with (or, that I grew up with), and hopefully you're not too young to know what I'm referring to. Instead of a misunderstood bookworm, you get a brave and equally intelligent New York City detective. In the place of a cursed prince, you get a genetically altered super soldier. Where there were magically transformed household supplies for periphery characters, you get a protective partner, an overzealous sister, and a biochemistry professor for a best friend.

Events came to a head in this episode of Beauty and the Beast. Between Muirfield and the special task force set up by the NYPD, Vincent was running out of places to hide. Instead of trying, Vincent came up with a plan to close the case and throw everyone off his scent for good. It might have worked too, if there weren’t double agents involved, and if Tess wasn’t so good at her job.

This is the first time that Tess came face-to-face with Vincent, and it was less congenial than Cat might have hoped. The encounter led to a confession that Cat had been avoiding all season, and it ends up making them a stronger unit in the end.

At the same time, Evan continued to work against their best efforts to keep Vincent safe and started putting Cat under a very watchful eye. He has aligned himself with Muirfield and despite J.T.’s severe warnings, he refuses to change his position on the cross-species creature. Essentially he signed his own death sentence.

“Partners in Crime” set the stage for the final story twist, and the beginning of new alliances that continued more or less through the end of the season, making it a pivotal episode for the show.
