SEASON THREE
#45 "THOUGH LOVERS BE LOST"
Sept. 21, 1989 Thursday
Catherine manages to "sooth the savage beast" and brings Vincent back from near death in the dark cavern. Vincent has lost most of his memory of the incident, as well as the bond he shared with Catherine, but he will live.
A college buddy of Joe's gives him a black book, but will not say more until he is out of the country. He is then killed in a car explosion that also puts Joe in the hospital. The book supposedly will reveal a terrible conspiracy, so Catherine takes up the investigation. She also discovers that she is pregnant.
Catherine briefs Moreno, who wants the book himself. She agrees to copy it for him, but keeps the original. She is then abducted by men affiliated with Moreno. They drug her to try to gain the location of the black book, but Catherine says nothing. While in captivity, she tries to tap a code on the pipes, which is heard below. Vincent comes to the building, killing the guards in his way (and getting filmed by surveillance cameras). He is still too late, and Catherine is taken away by the mystery man.
Months pass, and Catherine is ready to give birth. The mystery man is no longer interested in Catherine or the black book - all he wants now is the child. Vincent's empathic bond returns, but now the bond is between him and the unborn child, not Catherine. He follows the sense to the building where Catherine is being held, but he is again too late. The baby is born, and taken away by the mystery man in a helicoptor. Catherine is injected with a lethal drug before they go, and dies in Vincent's arms.

She tells him she'll find her own way inside the mansion rather than wait for him to obtain a search warrant. That evening, she gets inside with Father's maps of old pipe systems.
