Though Lovers Be Lost...

"**Though Lovers Be Lost...**" is the first and second episodes of the 3rd season of *Beauty and the Beast*.

## Plot

After recovering from his violent madness, Vincent finds himself unable to sense when Catherine is in danger. When an explosion lands Joe in the hospital, Catherine learns that she is pregnant and ends up captured by a crime syndicate led by a shadowy figure during her investigation. Six months later, Vincent, Joe, and Elliot each continue searching for Catherine. D.A. John Moreno suspends Joe suspiciously, leaving Joe to continue on his own. As Catherine's pregnancy begins its final phase, Vincent detects his child's presence, which leads him to the dying Catherine – injected with a fatal drug dose – and a skyscraper roof where the crime syndicate's leader Gabriel escapes by helicopter with Vincent's newborn son. Catherine and Vincent share a heartbreaking goodbye on the roof as she dies in his arms.

## Notes

* Originally aired as a 120-minute episode, but has been formatted as two 60-minute episodes in most subsequent re-airings for scheduling reasons. While many guides list it as a two-parter, its initial airing and release on DVD as one double-length episode should make this the official recognition.
