-->'''Catherine:''' [[TearJerker I've lost so much. I can't lose you again, too.]]
** The same can be argued with Gabe. Season 1 portrays him as a guy who, like Vincent, never wanted to be a beast and only wanted to grow up normal; said beast powers ended up costing his mother's life. [[spoiler:When he finally was rid of his curse and fell for the one person who can truly make him happy, his own jealousy and Catherine's indecisiveness for who she truly wants to be with ends up costing his friendships with nearly everyone on the show, ending with him becoming a monster again, both outside...and in.]]

Beauty and Beast have to start abandon their home and start over in a new country just so they can live and be together including almost never seeing their friends and family. But, [[HappilyEverAfter they did win at the end of the day. Love is all around them and theirs and the new lives are working out]].]]
** [[spoiler: Even still, after enough time has passed Cat and Vincent are able to reunite with JT, Tess and Heather, under their new identities in Paris, and the two continue to defend the helpless on the down low to their loved ones chagrin.]]

* BreakTheCutie: Catherine, ''so much''. First her mom is murdered in front of her eyes, then she is almost killed herself, later [[spoiler:she loses who she believes is her father and Vincent gets kidnapped. When she finally finds him though, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia his memory of her is wiped.]]]]

** The same can be argued with Gabe. Season 1 portrays him as a guy who, like Vincent, never wanted to be a beast and only wanted to grow up normal; said beast powers ended up costing his mother's life. [[spoiler:When he finally was rid of his curse and fell for the one person who can truly make him happy, his own jealously and Catherine's indecisiveness for who she truly wants to be with ends up costing his friendships with nearly everyone on the show, ending with him becoming a monster again, both outside...and in.]]

* BusCrash: [[spoiler: Implied with Alex when "Claire"'s partner gets onto the bus in the seat behind her.]]

** Vincent is cursed with inhuman speed, strength and senses. The only downside is he gets a little vascular and his teeth get kind of funky. The glowing yellow eyes might sound freaky but the way they look in the show is actually just really cool.
** Get's even cooler in season 2 when his DNA has been modified to act as a human tracker, sense peoples heart beats like a human lie detector, and that's just when he's in his human form, and can now control his transformations and they even repaired his facial scar, which may have made him look badass, but now makes him almost as beautiful as Catherine.

* DestructoNookie: Not as extreme as other examples, [[spoiler: but Vincent and Cat]] make a really big mess when they have sex.

* GenderBlenderName: Gabe's girlfriend, Tyler.

* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler: After everything they went through, those two still can't get over their pathological need to help people. Still, if they could would they really be our heroes.]]

* HeelFaceTurn:
** [[spoiler:Gabe, at the beginning of the second season when Cat "kills" his beast side.]]
** FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The progression of the season slowly culminated in Gabe turning insane due to his obsession from Cat and everyone turning against him, ending with him taking the beast serum.]]

** Honestly this could be said by most of the men who come in contact with Catherine

* RuleofPool: Cat and Vince jump off a boat into water fully clothed to avoid an explosion in season 3, episode 3. Vince pushes Cat into a pool during a fight sequence around a pool where everyone is fully clothed in season 4, episode 8.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: JT is revealed to be this as he was the one who had Vincent signed up for the Muirfield project, thinking it would help him on the battlefield]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: There has been no mention of Brooke, Heather and Cat's stepmother, especially after [[spoiler: their dad's death]].
* WhamLine: In the season one finale when [[spoiler: Vincent is captured and taken via net and helicopter]].:

* YankTheDogsChain: So freakin' much.

** The Beast mutates into a super-strong, overly aggressive monster, a little bit like [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]].
