Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016): Season 1, Episode 9 - Bridesmaid Up! - full transcript

Vincent is eager to leave his cage, despite JT's doubts of the serum's reliability. After alerting the police through Cath that he smelled blood and lethal panic, putting him on the trail of the murder of an actually married client of a dating firm manager whose credibility hangs on her investment broker husband's equally dodgy reputation, Vince even volunteers to accompany Cath to her father's second wedding to a much younger bride. Alas, her lies rendered him and Evan unsuitable, so JT is commandeered in a tuxedo. Evan meanwhile saw to a composite picture of the intruder in his lab, suspecting someone spied on or tampered with his genetic research, which is boosted by blood Cath realizes must by Vince's.

Nine years ago, I witnessed
my mother's murder.

I would have been killed too,

If it hadn't been for Vincent.

You're him.

I was part of an experimental

Special forces group.

Their goal was to create
the perfect super soldier.

I blacked out again.

The blackouts

Are a random side effect

Of the experiments,
but they might stop



If we have a serum.

I need you to do this.

You need to make
that serum fast.

Leaving early

'cause of your new intern?
What intern?

The dude who was
in your lab today.

I am not gonna spend my life

In a cage.

We don't have to stay away
from each other anymore.

The serum worked.

Yeah.

You know,

For bridesmaids dresses,
these aren't that bad.

Wow, okay, who are
you right now?



You wouldn't even fill out
the rsvp card

And now you're gushing
over dresses;

You are hosting
the brunch tomorrow.

Our father is getting married
in two days.

And if you want, you can totally hang out
with me and Josh. Heather, I am fine

That I don't have a date.
Dad has found happiness

After everything
he's been through.

We have to make sure
that everyone has a good time.

We are the daughters
of the groom.

Yeah.
We are

Bridesmaided up!

Yes!

"Bridesmaided up"?

Shh!

Is that even a verb?

You are clearly
still feeling better

If you are calling me
on my grammar.

Yeah, well, I haven't blacked
out since I got the serum.

Now I'm relieved.

I'm so relieved I feel
as festive as you look.

Yes,

Yes, I am trying.

Not that I'm not happy, but...

You know how weddings are.

And now I show up,

Almost 30, by myself?

So, you're...

Overcompensating?

Totally.

Yeah, I don't know.

I guess I've been so
caught up with my mom

That I haven't always
been there for my dad.

Vincent, I just...
I want this to be

Amazing for everyone.

I wish you could go with me.

Yeah, I mean, there might
be a few obstacles with that.

You mean the whole...

Yeah, they run out of pigs in
a blanket, and I just kind of...

yeah.

And it would be
kind of difficult

To explain the
whole... Dead thing.

Mm-
Although...

You could go as
Vincent Zalanski.

"Zalanski"?
Yes.

I had this huge crush on him
in kindergarten.

Okay. Where's
this Zalanski from?

Somewhere that I have
no relatives.

Denver?

Denver. So...
I'd probably be a skier.

When you aren't busy
saving lives in the E.R.

I like the sound
of my Denver life.

Well, I-I came here
'cause, um,

I have another case for you.

It is always work, work,
work with you, Zalanski.

Yeah, well, look,
I was out walking,

And, I saw this guy heading
into his brownstone

But he reeked of blood.

Was he injured?
No, he didn't

Seem to be, but the smell,

It was coming
from his briefcase as well.

And the thing is he was...

Nervous, you know?
He was

Having trouble putting
his keys in the door.

His heart was racing.

Cat?

I've got the perfect shoes!

Great! Yes!
I'm just gonna

Bring out the party favors!

Hey, um,

Here's his address,

For what it's worth.

It was great seeing
you, Dr. Zalanski.

Go bridesmaid it up.

Okay.

Bye.
Bye.

So, someone saw a guy
coming home with blood on him?

How much blood?

Caller didn't say,
but it seemed legit.

They gave me an address though.

Hey, where do you want these?

Over there by the quiche.

I can't believe
you're hosting this thing.

Just do a reverse

Look-up, see who lives there,
the address

Is 62123rd street.

I got to go. I'm gonna go
sprinkle some confetti.

- I'm eloping.
- You busy?

Sort of. Okay, I need you to I.D.
That guy

That you saw posing as
my intern in the lab.

I.D. Him? I barely saw him. Well,
that's more than anyone else.

So, we don't have security
cameras down there,

But I pulled the footage
from the rest of the precinct

For that day.

You want me to look at

An entire day's
worth of footage?

Tess, I found
a broken test tube.

He was obviously
using my DNA analyzer.

Is that a chargeable offense?

Look, I haven't

Talked to anybody about this,
and you can't tell anyone,

But I've been working
on a personal project

On genetic mutations
and it's big.

Publishable big. Well, how
does that relate to...

I think he was trying
to steal it.

Or sabotage it.
I don't know.

The timing's too coincidental.

All right, I'll tell you what.

You get one of those
big research grants,

Give me a finder's fee.

Done.

You guys, this is so sweet.

And to take the
morning off of work...

Of course. This way, we can
go through all the details.

Shoes.

Yes! Heather, she tried on
this great silver pair.

Silver is kind of hard to match.

Can we do nude?

Check out my new Louboutins.

I have the same ones.

I'm just afraid of scuffing them
on the dance floor.

Just seal them
with nail Polish.

I do it to all of my shoes.

But you know what,
Brooke, you're the bride,

What do you think?

If you guys don't mind...

No, no, nude is great.

Yeah, we can all buy
the same shoe,

And then we can be matching
from head to sole.

Aw.
Brooke,

Your future stepdaughters
are adorable.

Meanwhile,

Catherine, how is it

You don't have, like, 18 guys

To take to this wedding?

That's work.

What's wrong with you? I told
you not to talk about that.

Hey.

Okay, so the building's owned
by Drake and Sabrina Meyer.

You got to go online.

Sabrina's this crazy matchmaker
for millionaires.

Who's the husband?

Some finance guy. Apparently
that's her specialty,

Which is why he's the poster boy
for the business.

You know, follow
her dating advice,

You get a guy just like Drake:

Ultra-educated,
ultra-successful,

Ultra-boring.

And if our tip is right,

In ultra-trouble.

See if you can find a victim.

I'm here at bridal headquarters,

Making very important decisions
about shoes.

I'll see you soon.
All right.

So, what'd I miss?

Are you using Sabrina Meyer?

Who's Sabrina Meyer?
She's the famous

Matchmaker.

You're using a matchmaker?
No,

I don't need a matchmaker.
But

If you don't have somebody to take
to this wedding... And Brooke knows

All the cutest guys.

At least, let me sit you

At the singles table.

I am happy to sit with Heather.

Heather is going
with her boyfriend.

So you're going
to be sitting alone,

Directing the cater waiter on
who's having chicken or steak.

And weddings can be torture
by yourself.

That's it. I'm changing
your table.

No, I have someone in my life.

You do?

Who is he?

What does he do?

He is... A doctor.

Wait, you're dating a doctor?

And why aren't you bringing him

To the wedding?
It-it is...

It is too early
in the relationship

For me to bring him
to a wedding.

Please, it's just a big party.

Yeah, it's not like
I'm in love with Josh.

I am gonna get him
a place setting.

What is his name?
No,

Brooke, really, you don't have to.
Look,

Your dad's been really nervous

About how you're handling
this whole wedding thing.

I think it'd be really nice

For him to see you
there with someone.

Tell her his name.
Yeah, come on, cat.

Bridesmaid up.

His name's Vincent Zalanski.

Yeah, hey, I'm working a tip
on a potential perp,

But we don't have a victim.

Has anything come
through your precinct,

You know, stabbings, gunshots?

Okay, let me know
if anything changes.

What happened?
You burn the quiche?

I told them I have a boyfriend.

Okay...

And now that boyfriend is
supposed to come to the wedding.

Tess, I know

It was the way
that they were looking at me.

It was like we look at families

Who've lost their loved ones.
Like they felt sorry for me.

Or there was something
wrong with me

Because I don't have
someone to take.

Listen, this is why I don't go
to weddings alone.

For one of my brother's
weddings, I was so hard up

I took Joe.

Joe, like-like our boss Joe?

Well, his wife was
on a business trip so...

My God,
how did I not know this?

Does she know this?

Yeah, I'm sure Joe told her,
and it was

Before you and I
were partners. Whatever.

Listen, take Evan, okay?

You took him
to the engagement party.

It's Heather.

She probably wants to know more
about my fake boyfriend.

Who she knows
isn't Evan because

I gave fake boyfriend a name.

Okay, so just tell everybody
he's busy.

They'll be so distracted
by Evan's accent,

They won't ask questions.

Besides, that guy's got
to get out of the morgue.

Tess, who's Neil Mendel
from Chadmore capital?

You can't take him 'cause he's
unofficially missing. And he's a

Finance guy, like our potential
perp. What's his story?

All right, well, he...
He missed an important meeting

This morning, so his lawyer
phoned it in.

It's only been a few hours
but, you know,

It fit the timeline,
so I put him on the list.

Okay, I know this is
a total stretch,

But what else do we have to do?

Well, besides find you a date?

Whoa. You're right. Let's go.

So, preliminary reports

Say that Neil Mendel
is single, 33.

33? We're so in the
wrong line of work.

Well, maybe this holds
the secrets to his success.

So much for him

Being single.
Mm.

There goes a wedding
date option.

Tess.

Blood?

Mr. Mendel?

Hit me.

Here, take the stun gun

Just in case.
You hit me,

Nothing happens, then maybe
I can go out and...

My God,

You think you're cured?

Because your DNA is what it is.

I know, I know, but maybe...

Maybe I have more control now.

Catherine's dad's wedding
is this weekend.

She wants me to go.

Clearly your new lease on life
has landed you in lala land.

Maybe, but we won't
know until you try.

I'm the reason
you don't have a girlfriend.

I have a girlfriend.

Or at least,
I'm on my way to having one.

Yeah, actually, I saw
her picture online. She is hot.

You know, maybe I'll
sleep with her, too.

Too?

Your prom date, Jill McManahan?

She was spectacular.

Nice try.

Come on, man. JT!

Come on. Okay,
you know what? Thanks!

Because now I'm more pissed
than if you'd actually hit me.

And...

Look. Nothing. I'm fine.

I'm okay.

I know it's a dumb test,
but I passed!

I passed!

Okay, this guy, Drake Meyer...

What is his beef
with Neil Mendel?

We don't know that yet,
but we do know

The Vic had a date last night.

Unmade bed, condoms,
wine glasses.

Any prints? DNA? The
apartment's been wiped down.

I couldn't even get
partials of the glasses.

Did you see the blood
on the floor?

Actually, it's some kind
of contaminant.

But lucky for us,
Mendel's financials show

Monthly payments
to finest matchmaking.

And guess who's married to the
owner of finest? Drake Meyer.

Chandler, you may have some
anonymous tip on this Meyer guy,

But if I were you,
I'd start by finding your date.

Okay, he is talking
about the case, right?

Yes.
Okay.

Tess, have you had
a chance to...?

Could I talk to you
for a second?

About the wedding?
I said yes.

Really? But did Tess...?

Tess? No. Heather.
Heather?

She was trying to call you.

She asked me to go
to the wedding.

Heather has a boyfriend.

Had a boyfriend.

Apparently, her and Josh
just broke up.

I thought she was calling me
about something else.

Were you going to ask me to...?
It's okay.

It's fine. Just save me a dance.

Your sister?

It's my own fault.

I told her I had a boyfriend.

Hey, you know
what I'm thinking?

You should go talk to
our matchmaker alone.

So you want me
to interview a suspect's wife

Just so I can get a date?

Well, not just so you can get
a date, but as an added perk.

Listen, if we go in there with
our badges out, she'll clam up.

But if you go in with
your wedding angst,

You know, she might offer
some intel on the hubby.

Besides, I've got a day's
worth of security footage

To go through.

Don't ask.

Are you promiscuous?

I don't have time
to be promiscuous.

You're funny.

Don't be too funny.
Men don't like that.

The reason that I asked is,

There's no sex on the
first three dates.

You break the rules,
you're out, no refunds.

Men don't like whores.

And I need you to
fill out a profile.

No padding your resume
or your bra size.

And then I can get a guy
as great as your husband?

I saw on your web site.

He's a finance guy?

Real estate.
Luxury resorts.

Wow.

This thing is crazy detailed.

Do you have to get all
your clients to fill this out?

Mm, it's mandatory.

Do you think I could get a
sneak peek at my options first?

I'm sorry.

We guarantee
our clients' privacy.

Well, that's good.

My God! Your shoes.

I was literally just
drooling over a pair

Of nudes this morning.

You know, truth is, I've got
my dad's wedding in two days.

You know, I'm not expecting you

To work any miracles,
but it's just

Hard.

You know, I, saw the other
bridesmaids this morning,

And not only do I not
have the guy,

I don't even have the shoes.

But being here with you... it...

It just... It gives me
so much hope.

That is why I do this job.

Come on. Let me show you hope.

Sabrina, Neil Mendel's a client?

You're his type.

But he is not available.

No, um, he was found dead in
his apartment this morning.

What?!

Yeah, I heard it on the news.

They think he might
have been murdered.

Drake, Neil Mendel

Was murdered this morning.

My God.

Um, Catherine,
this is my husband Drake.

Hi.

He was with Britney McCabe
last night.

Who's Britney?

Somebody
that we set him up with.

She called here really upset.

Do you think something happened
on the date?

No. No, no way.

I want to reassure you

That we screen our clients
very carefully.

Why don't you take...
You take, um,

This packet home, look it over?

I promise you, we will

Find you a great guy.

I am sorry
about what happened to Neil.

So, hot date is Britney McCabe.

She called finest
after the date,

Sounding pretty upset.

Speaking of, I got to go. Hey.

Where have you been?
I have been trying to reach you.

Evan told me
what happened with Josh.

Can't believe the jerk didn't
wait till after the wedding.

I know. But you're okay
with me bringing Evan?

Because I can not be the only
one alone at that wedding.

Actually... And I've had
this huge crush on him.

Wait. You have?

You're not mad, are you?

No, no, no, I just didn't know.

Okay, good, because I never
would've acted on it, but

Now that you're bringing this
boyfriend, Vincent Zalanski...

You'd thought you'd make your move.
Yeah. I know. Almost

As crazy as you suggesting
we run out and buy Louboutins.

You have ten minutes
to get ready.

Okay. Hi.

So I'm your boyfriend now?

I did not say boyfriend.

She misinterpreted.

And this is starting
to become a habit.

So,

Sounds like
I'm going to a wedding.

That was just a dumb reflex.

It's okay.
You don't have to explain.

No, I'm going to get out of it.

I'm gonna tell them at
the rehearsal dinner tonight,

Which I have to get ready for.

Um, okay, yeah.

Um, we found a body.

Yeah, there was a guy
in a steam room.

You know, maybe you don't
have to get out of it.

The wedding?

You know what?
You might be right.

Mr. Blood-on-his-hands is
married to a matchmaker.

She said she'd find me someone
for the wedding.

She doesn't realize
that I am trying

To arrest her husband
for murder.

Okay, maybe I could go with you.

Everyone thinks
I'm coming anyway.

Vincent, I was kidding before.

But I'm not.

Look, I did a test today.

Wasn't a scientific test,

But in med school, you learn
that if a patient says

That they feel better,

Then they're usually right.

Doesn't matter
what the test shows.

And... I... Feel... Better.

Much better.

But are you gonna risk
all of that

Because I don't want to go
to a wedding alone?

It doesn't feel like a risk.

Vincent, there are going to be
150 people there.

Drunk people.

Yeah, I'm not going
to hurt anyone. No.

No, I'm...

I'm just concerned about you.

What if you're exposed?

I mean, let's say

You are better?

What about your identity?

You have been working for years
to fly under the radar,

And then you're gonna

Introduce yourself
to a bunch of people

From all over the place.

And what about my dad?

You're gonna talk to him
about your fake life in Denver,

And-and then what?

Then you're Vincent Zalanski
to him forever.

It's not fair to you.

I can handle being
Vincent Zalanski.

Forever.

But if anything bad
ever happened to you

Because I didn't want to go
to a wedding alone,

I would never be able
to forgive myself.

Thank you,

But I cannot let you
do this for me.

Okay.

And then we live
happily ever after.

And then we get to eat,
which I suggest we go do now.

See you, boys.

Can I talk
to you guys for a second?

Cat, I actually
have something for you.

Wow, this is...

Wonderful, but...

What? We didn't spell it right?
No.

It's-it's perfect.
Okay.

I have to go talk to the wedding
planner about our song list.

I'm sorry if she pushed
a little hard about...

Vincent.
Yeah.

Actually, I just... I wanted
to talk to you about this...

No, no, you're taking him.
But...

Well, what's the problem?
What, you think it's too fast?

He'll be in the pictures,
and what if it doesn't work out?

Yes, that's exactly it. Honey,
you're thinking too much.

Ever since your mom died.

The same thing happened to me.

When I first met Brooke,
I kept thinking

Of all the reasons
that it couldn't work.

I'm too old. She's too
young. Your mother.

And then I just realized...

What am I waiting for?

And here you are.

Right. Proof that there's
no reward without the risk.

So... You're taking him.

Besides, I can enjoy
my wedding now,

And not worry about you.

"Strong,

Vulnerable,
intelligent, heroic?"

Okay, I filled it out
late last night.

You filled up the whole thing.

You didn't see my dad's face.

He was almost

In tears when he found out
that I was bringing someone.

So you want to turn this in?

I don't know.
It's a case.

So?
If we were undercover

At a salon,
we'd get our hair done.

Besides, your little visit
with Sabrina proved

Incredibly profitable.

I just called her to
follow up on that message

Britney McCabe left
after her date with Neil.

I didn't blow your cover,

But listen to this.

Sabrina, it's Britney.

Look, I guess I had
too much to drink

And things got out of control

And I did something really bad.

Almost sounds like a confession.

Maybe Neil forced himself
on her; she fought back.

Hang on, Tess.
She and Neil had sex.

Maybe that's the bad thing

She's talking about
on the message.

Sex is a bad thing?
Maybe that's why

You don't have a date
to the wedding.

No, Tess, it's one
of Sabrina Meyer's rules.

Looking for Watson?
Hey, JT.

What I want to know is, when's
he getting on the payroll?

'Cause he's living
on my salary,

Even though he's
doing your job.

Okay, what is he talking about?

I figured, if I can't be
your fake boyfriend,

Then maybe I can be
your fake, detective.

You went to my crime scene?

It's bogus.

A resort in Kuwait.

This must be what Neil was
talking to his lawyer about.

Here's the thing:

He alibied out. That's
what I came to tell you.

Maybe it wasn't blood on him,

And it was that paint
you were looking at.

JT, it was blood.

Okay, wait, what paint?

I found some red particle
in the floor.

It was paint. It just...

Look, you just seal them
with nail Polish.

I do it with all of my shoes.

Unless it was red Polish

On the sole
of somebody's designer shoe.

I'm lost.

Okay, so let's say

That Drake found out that
Neil was going to expose him.

He told his wife,

Whose livelihood depends
on his reputation.

She takes matters
into her own hands.

She kills Neil, panics,

So her husband comes over
and cleans up the evidence.

Which is why the
blood was on him.

What?

You're not fake.

You're the real thing.

Chandler.

Sabrina, hi, no, I just answer
my phone like that sometimes.

It's her.

No, I didn't get a chance
to fill out the entire thing.

You did?

She found a date for
me for the wedding.

No, he sounds great,

But I'm going to go alone.

Yes, I will be in touch

Very soon, I promise.

I'm kind of bummed
she's our killer.

Now my dad's gonna
have to worry

About me the entire wedding

Because I cannot find
someone to go with me.

Okay, JT, do you
still have your tux?

Vincent.

No, you're not going.

No, it's not for me.

You are going to take Catherine
to her father's wedding.

What?
What?

Your dad wants to see
you with someone.

JT has a PHD.

He cleans up pretty nice,

So he can be
your fake boyfriend...

No strings,

No risk.

Food'll be good?

All right, I'm in.

Hello, Sabrina.

You've got to be kidding me.

I spent hours finding you
a wedding date.

She posed as a client.

We're not here to talk
about my love life;

We're here to talk about yours.

My client's love life is
none of your business.

Except for when she's a person
of interest in a homicide.

And your perfect catch hubby...

He's next door telling
my partner everything

About his Ponzi scheme
of a business.

Ms. Meyer doesn't have
any knowledge of that.

Drake's business is 110%

Legitimate.
BS.

You sell "happily ever
after" like it's a recipe.

No sex, don't be funny,
fix your flaws,

And then you can have someone
as great as Drake.

So how dumb do you look
if it's exposed

That your grand prize

Is a booby prize?

And I don't think
that's padding it.

You bitch.
You knew Mendel was

Unavailable even before
the news of the murder broke.

I meant, he was
already fixed up.

With Britney,

The woman that you set up
to be your fall guy.

Neil said that he liked

Petite brunettes.

She's a curvy blonde.

So why even set them up,

Except for the fact
that she has a record?

So, how helpful is that
if she's the last one

With him before you shoot him?

And you, you left

Your red nail Polish
at the crime scene.

I don't wear red nail Polish.

Not on your nails.

Okay, Sabrina, let's go.

It's clear they don't have
anything to hold you.

Not yet, but we are
holding your husband

On fraud charges.

You have spent
your entire career telling women

That if they are single,
they are broken.

Look who's broken now.

You did really well
with that footage, by the way.

I showed a sketch artist
the image that you picked out.

What do you think?

I wouldn't hang it on my wall,

But, yeah, it looks like him.

I'm gonna find this guy.

I'm from Denver?

I don't know anything
about Denver.

You're an E.R. Doc.

It's okay.
You don't get out much.

I don't know anything
about E.R. Medicine either.

This tux isn't going to fit,
and I hate bow ties.

Her ideal date...

Is dinner on a rooftop
or hanging out on a fire escape.

What are you talking about?

This is about me.

He's having the steak...
Mm-

Vegetarian...
Mm-

Chicken,
and that's another steak.

Is he still not here?

Nope, just me and
the cater waiter.

I don't understand
how he couldn't get

His shift covered
at the hospital.

Paige, there is no
Vincent Zalanski.

What?
I made him up.

The music here is so good.

Your sister doesn't have
a boyfriend.

God.

Yeah, I lied.
Why?

You guys kept threatening to
put me at the singles' table.

Our dad got married today.

It's his wedding.

Maybe we should focus on that.

Maybe I should get us
some cocktails.

There is just so much pressure
to have a plus-one,

Like if you don't,
you're damaged or broken.

We don't think
you're damaged or broken.

Maybe I am.

I don't know if I'm ever going
to have that.

We all feel like that.

Yeah, my fiancé tried

To call our wedding off twice.

Yeah, and I just got dumped
right after our brunch.

Tom and I are separated.

My God,

Paige.

Hey.

Come on, really, are you okay?

I, I'm just so embarrassed...

Hey.

Hey.

What are you...?

Well, you said in your
profile you like to dance,

But, you see, JT doesn't.

Do you?

So, what happened?

JT beg you to take his place?

No, I begged him.

Hey, everybody, my wife...

And it's actually pretty good
for wedding food,

So, please...

Okay, come on.

Hey, what are
you doing? Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I didn't come here to hide.

I'm here because I want to be.

Besides,

I did my Denver research;
I got my story down.

Yeah.

What?

I confessed.

I told them that there is
no Vincent Zalanski.

It doesn't matter.

My dad... he is so happy.

Who cares if people think
I don't have a plus-one?

Hey, I am standing right here.

At least introduce me
to the people

You didn't confess to.

I don't think I need to.

I think... That I lied

Because... I feel like I do
have someone in my life.

And it wasn't that I wanted
to show him off; it's...

Just that I wanted him
to be here.

But there are things about you

That neither of us
can change, so...

So it wasn't really a lie then.

You just got his
last name wrong.

And his hometown.

Well...

You know, um...

He is hungry.

Steak or chicken?

Surprise me.

Okay.

My God, I think I'm in love.

Evan's, like, the smartest guy
I've ever dated.

Okay, I think you
need to slow down.

Wait, why?
Are you in love with him?

No. I told you, he's...
He's a flirt.

My God, you are in love with him.
I can tell. Heather,

You are drunk and
you are rebounding,

That he is the person
for you to do that with.

Yeah, but he's so smart.

Did you know that he just
got some major grant

On DNA research?

DNA? No, I...
Yeah, apparently,

There's some weird DNA
that's mutating or something.

Mutating? How?

I don't know. I was too
distracted by his hotness.

But listen to me,
you're here alone,

And I'm blabbing
about... Evan!

Hi.
I see I should've got two.

Heather, could I talk
to your date for a minute?

It's just...
It's about work.

Yeah.

Okay.
Okay.

Thought that your coming out
was very brave.

Yeah, listen, Heather said
that you're doing research

On DNA.

I thought you'd let that go.

Actually, you let it go.

Which I understand.
So it's

On cross-species DNA?
Too much has happened

For me to just dismiss it.

I mean, I know what
I heard in that subway.

And the corrupted samples.

Now I've got someone
breaking in to my lab.

Wait. Do you know who?
I don't.

I've got a sketch.
I think they're trying

To access what I'm finding.

What are you finding?

Heather said something
about mutations.

The samples from the cases
that I collected,

Including your mom's,
indicate that the l2 capsids

Are targeting changes in the
basic structure of the DNA.

Okay, what does that mean?

They're coming
from the same being.

Are you sure?
Yeah.

And whatever it is...

It's changing.

It's changing how?

It's complicated.

But basically,
the animal nucleotides

Are taking over
from the human ones.

He's becoming less human?

Or it.

Anyway, this isn't...

Wedding small talk.

How about that dance?

Actually, I am starving,

So, um...

Later.

Definitely.

Got you both.

Wow. Thanks.

Do you... Want some?

No, I'm good.

No, you're not.

You know how you said
you felt different?

I think I know why.

I ran into Evan, and it turns
out he's been studying you,

Your DNA.

Okay.

He says it's mutating.

How do you mean?
He mentioned this...

L2 something?

L2 capsid? Yeah,
what about it?

He said it's becoming more...

More what?

What did he say?

He said it's becoming
more animal.

No. No, I feel great.

What if that's what
the blackouts were?

No, JT would've caught it. JT...

Wouldn't know;
he doesn't have the equipment.

That's why we had
to break in to the morgue.

Which...

I'm pretty sure
Evan knows about.

Seems you were right.

This was... Too big a risk.

But nothing bad has happened.

Yet.

I should probably go.

This is what I was afraid of.

That you would...

Come here and that
we would have fun, and...

And remember the fact

That there's no
Vincent Zalanski.

I guess this was just too much
of a risk for both of us.

Hi. Um, for those of you
who don't know me,

I'm Catherine Chandler.

Um, I'm my dad's daughter.

His oldest daughter.

Um...

Okay, I wrote this speech,
like, a week ago.

And... Seeing the way

That my dad and Brooke
look at each other, it...

Sums up more
than these four pages can.

Um...

You know, the funny thing is,
is that...

Brooke and my dad
shouldn't even be together.

No, it...

It's true, you know?

For starters,
they are complete opposites.

And not to mention,
she is a Mets fan,

so... I don't know how
they're gonna deal with that.

And then there's
the age difference.

And for a lot of people,
that would have held them back.

Especially...

Given everything
we've been through.

Not that being with Brooke
is a risk. It's not.

She's...

She is amazing.

But... It's just
being in any relationship

Is that it-it's a...

It's a risk.

It's...

It's accepting that
there are no guarantees.

I mean, who knows
what the future brings,

And-and... Going for it, anyway.

Even if she is a vegan,

And he eats cheeseburgers.

So...

To my dad and Brooke...

For jumping in.

You guys are an inspiration.

Aw...

Especially to me.

Okay.

Cheers!

Hey, Heather, I need your keys.

You're leaving?
Dad's okay with it.

I just, I need
to go and find somebody.

Who?
Evan,

You're taking her home, okay?

Okay. Bye.

How was the wedding
without a date?

Sabrina...
Not so good?

You ruined my happy-ever-after.

I'm gonna ruin yours.

Catherine!

Catherine!

Catherine?

Catherine!

So, tell me about dead bodies.

I mean, you must really
know your anatomy.

My God.

Is that my car?

Cat!

Stay in the car.
Wait, Evan!
