Exclusive Beauty and the Beast Winter Finale Sneak Peek: Cat. Gabe. Awkwardness!

There is mass carnage to prevent as The CW’s Beauty and the Beast serves up its winter finale Monday at 9/8c — but Catherine and Gabe should probably first address the elephant beast in the room, if only to stay focused.

In the episode “About Last Night,” Cat & Co. endeavor to prevent Sam (guest star Tom Everett Scott) from destroying a large group of people, while possibly also gaining greater insight into his true agenda.

In this exclusive clip, Cat and Gabe take stock of Rykers escapee Sam’s path of destruction — yet what Gabe recently witnessed between his lady love and her “ex” hangs a bit heavy in the air. The “worst” may be yet to come, however, seeing as VinCat are supposed to revisit a “special place” in this episode, prompting the pair to reconsider their feelings for one another.

Any predictions for the finale cliffie? Anyone but me think a Gabe scorned will grab himself some serum and revert to his beastly ways, to vanquish his rival once and for all?
