Michelle's thoughts on ep.3 All In:


The CW should have replaced episode 2 with episode 3. The episode names are apt, ep. 2 is called Proceed with Caution and ep. 3 is called All In. The second episode of a new series is not the time to be cautious, they should have jumped all in immediately. I worry that the second episode hurt the show a lot and it won't get a second season, which is a shame after this episode. I really enjoyed this one. It reminded me a lot of the old 80's series in a good way.



The case is finally not girl themed, about illegal aliens and being framed for murder. Maybe because Cat and Tess are not the leads on this case, instead it's two guys dressed as modern versions of 30's gangsters. We have some great moments with Cat investigating the case on her own and Tess getting upset about not being in the information loop. Cat finding the two girls and getting Vincent to help them was very reminiscent of the old show. I love that she doesn't give up investigating even when she's suspended. By the end of the episode Vincent finally gets tired of playing hide and seek and allows Cat to contact him when she needs help.



This episode was really solid and makes me excited for the future. We didn't get a lot of Muirfield action like the preview seemed to promise but we have that to look forward to. There were only 2 things that I didn't like this episode. I still don't like Cat's sister being there; luckily she was hardly in this episode. She does have one good line when she tells Cat to go to her father's wedding with the doctor and when Cat protests that he is a player, Heather comes back with "You like players." More evidence of Cat pushing everyone in her life away and only dating men she knows will leave. The other part I didn't like is the idea of Vincent following Cat around without her knowledge. Very creepy stalker/twilight vampire watching her sleep. I hope that now they have a way to communicate he will stop doing that.



Everyone ended in a good place this episode more communication between Cat and Vincent, and Cat and Tess. I loved that Cat checks one for attending the wedding despite her sisters nagging. It further reinforces that Cat's relationship with Vincent will be the most important one in her life and she's not ashamed of it. Way to stand up for a woman's right to be single and not be considered strange and defective! I think this episodes solid ending will allow them to really stir things up with some Muirfield action next time. I'm ready for some more creepy FBI guy action. See you next Thursday, CW!

John's thoughts on ep. 3 All In:





The latest episode of the CW's Beauty and the Beast (All In) was a big win, except for Cat who was almost demoted to garbage, oh Angry Sexy Boss you so crazy. All In shows us just how far our heroes are willing to go for their convictions, and Heather goes all the way! (That's Cats sister for those who blanked her out.) But seriously let's check out what we learned about these sex colored characters.


When Cat believes an innocent woman is about to be railroaded to a guilty verdict, she decides to do some overtime police work to prove the woman's innocent. Much to the complaints of Joe "Me So Angry" Bishop who only wants justice served up in its purest bureaucratic form.


Even good ol' Tess can't back her up on thi
