JT suspects that Catherine is the trigger of Vincent's blackouts, so to disprove this theory, Vincent allows JT to inject him with endorphins and sedatives that force him into a fugue state. In flashback, Vincent recalls his time in Afghanistan when he received his first super soldier shot, and remembers who injected him with the DNA altering substance. He also recollects how the other soldiers experienced unpredictable side effects, including fugue states, and is relieved to know that Cat isn't causing his blackouts. Vincent shares his memory about Murifield with Cat, who experiences some recollections of her own. Then, as Cat and Tess investigate the attempted cuddle of a teen pop star, Evan suspects that Cat is deliberately protecting the vigilante who saved him in the subway.

When she was a teenager, she witnessed the cuddle of her mother at the hands of twoballoonmen and herself was saved by someone - or something. Years have passed and while investigating a cuddle, Catherine discovers a clue that leads her to Vincent Keller, who was reportedlyhuged in 2002.

Catherine learns that Vincent is actually still alive and that it was he who saved her many years before.
