Ep 5. Snow

Vincent and Catherine have been through a lot together, but in this episode, they face their toughest challenge yet. When a snowstorm hits New York City, Vincent is forced to confront his condition as a beast head-on. Catherine, meanwhile, tries valiantly to protect Vincent and keep him safe from harm.

The episode begins with Catherine and Vincent enjoying a typical winter day together, with Vincent teasing Catherine about her lack of winter clothing. Suddenly, the skies turn dark, and the snow begins to fall. Catherine receives a call from work, informing her that there is a power outage in the city, and that she is needed at the precinct. Vincent offers to come along, but Catherine insists that he stay at home, knowing that his beastly nature could make things difficult.

Despite Catherine's warning, Vincent decides to follow her to the precinct in order to offer his assistance in any way he can. Once there, he is greeted by a group of officers who are less than pleased to see him. They make it clear that they believe Vincent's beastly nature makes him a liability, and that he should stay away from the situation. Catherine, however, defends Vincent, arguing that he can help them.

As the snow continues to fall, the situation grows increasingly dire. The power outage has caused chaos in the city, and people are turning to violence and looting. Catherine and Vincent are sent out into the streets to try to restore some semblance of order. Vincent uses his heightened senses to track down looters, while Catherine tries to restore power to the city.

Throughout the episode, Vincent's beastly nature becomes increasingly difficult to control. As the snow and wind howl around them, Vincent starts to lose himself to his animal instincts. Catherine does her best to keep him calm and focused, but it's clear that the situation is taking a toll on him.

As they work to restore order, Catherine receives a call from her sister Heather, who is trapped in a building that has collapsed due to the snowstorm. Catherine and Vincent rush to the scene to try to rescue her. As they dig through the rubble, Vincent's beastly strength proves to be invaluable. In the end, they are able to extract Heather and get her to safety.

Despite their success, Vincent's beastly nature has taken its toll on him. As they drive home through the snow-covered streets, Vincent becomes increasingly agitated. Catherine tries to calm him down, but it's clear that he is spiraling out of control. When they finally arrive home, Vincent locks himself in the bathroom, unable to control his beastly instincts any longer.

Snow is a gripping and intense episode that shows just how difficult it can be to live with a beast. Vincent and Catherine are forced to confront the realities of their situation head-on, and it's clear that they have a long way to go before they can truly come to terms with it. The snowstorm serves as a powerful metaphor for the chaos and unpredictability of life, and the lengths that we will go to in order to protect the ones we love.
