I
really liked the tone of this one. It felt playful and intense all in
one, and I loved the camera work when Cat ended up cornered by the
other bridesmaids about who is this boyfriend you speak of?
I don't yet know
what I think of Brooke and Cat's Dad. They had that episode a while
back where she looked like a badguy, but then the Dad pointed out to
Cat that her judgmental attitude might make her a good cop, but that
it makes it very difficult to have a relationship with her...
At
this point, I feel as though it would be too obvious for Brooke to
end up being a villain. It feels like it would be too much of a saw
that coming a mile away. And
also, they've been putting so much effort into trying to represent
love between very different ages as just as acceptable as any other
kind, so to have her be out to get the Dad's money after all of that
would make all of that representation work go out the window.
However,
I will say that it
would pack quite the punch if Good-Old-Dad is a
form of antagonist. Perhaps the one who alerted Muirfield where Mom
would be on a certain night ten years ago. All the effort on making
you suspect the Now Wife could be red herring— and if it is, kudos
to them!
I love
how this episode ended, with Vincent so cornered by Evan. The
headlights of the car lighting up Vincent, who's trying to curl
around Cat's unconscious body so the humans won't see his face and
claws— the need to save Cat so strong that he doesn't just run,
even though in Beast form it's
so hard to think. That moment when Evan leaps out of the car and
Vincent just stands there? It was beautiful. So beautiful. I haven't
felt that way about this TV show before, but that moment really
called to me.
Hope there will be
many more moments in the future!
