‘Beauty and the Beast’ season 3, episode 9 preview: How Kristin Kreuk’s Cat, Jay Ryan’s Vincent recover

Tonight on “Beauty and the Beast” season 3, the “Shotgun Wedding” between Catherine and Vincent turned out to be a disaster. Liam came and put an end to the proceedings by murdering Juliana, and then sending Vincent right through a wall. He’s a bad dude, and by the end of the episode Kristin Kreuk’s character decided on a surprising strategy for the future: Ignoring it altogether. She has figured out that she doesn’t want to put her life or Vincent’s in danger anymore, which is the same philosophy that he had earlier on this season.

Ironically, next week’s “Cat’s Out of the Bag” is going to feature Vincent adopting her previous point of view, and with the help of their friends, he may work to convince her that the forces that are out there are worth fighting:

“After a force more powerful than anything they have ever encountered ruined Cat (Kristin Kreuk) and Vincent’s (Jay Ryan) big day, Cat becomes convinced they are in over their heads and begins to doubt their ability to stop the threat, forcing Vincent, JT (Austin Basis), Tess (Nina Lisandrello) and Heather (Nicole Gale Anderson) to band together in hopes of convincing Cat of her greater purpose.”

By the time we make it to the end of the episode, let’s hope that we get an answer as to what Catherine is going to do next … a season of them in hiding, especially when there is a threat out there, doesn’t sound nearly as exciting.
