Quotes 

• Catherine Chandler : Everyone told me it was a wild animal; a coyote, a bear. That this thing I thought I'd seen was just the result of my concussion, or post-traumatic stress. You know, the men who killed my mother were beasts. I believed them. Until now.

• Tess Vargas : You should have tased him. "Kind of a turn on." So, what, he was in it just for handcuffs? Don't guys know they just remind us of work?

  Catherine Chandler : Tess, he didn't ask for the cuffs.

  Tess Vargas : You have a blind spot for douches. See, when I date a douche, I know he's a douche. Which is why I'm on a man cleanse.

• Tess Vargas : 911 got a call off her cell at 8:32 tonight. No recording.

  Catherine Chandler : Blunt trauma to the head. No wallet, no ID, no hotel key.

  Tess Vargas : Robbery/homicide?

  Catherine Chandler : And leave behind a Louis Vuitton? You know how much these things cost?

  Tess Vargas : No, and not every robber knows they're Louis Vuitton.

  Snarky Security Guard : I knew it was a Louis.

• Catherine Chandler : Evan, please tell me that you have something.

  Evan Marks : I've got a pair of Louboutins in an evidence bag. What size are you?

  Catherine Chandler : You are so callous.

• Evan Marks : Okay, so the head wounds are too superficial to have killed her, but she does have signs of low oxygenation.

  Catherine Chandler : Suffocation? Strangulation?

  Evan Marks : No ligature mark. She does have some rash, possibly poisoning, but here's the weird part.

  Catherine Chandler : Can't take much more weird.

  Evan Marks : Bruised sternum, cracked ribs. You see that from CPR sometimes.

  Catherine Chandler : So after the killer left, someone tried to save her? Why wouldn't they have stuck around?

  Evan Marks : That's your job. Oh, I did find a hair.

  Catherine Chandler : DNA. Way to bury the lead.

• Tess Vargas : There you are. I've been calling and calling you.

  [giving Catherine a once-over] 

  Tess Vargas : Were you with Zeke?

  Catherine Chandler : What?

  Tess Vargas : That glow.

  Catherine Chandler : What glow?

  Tess Vargas : The sex glow. It's all over your face.

• Catherine Chandler : Last night, I realized that I was thinking about your wife's case the wrong way. Sometimes things aren't what they seem. You can't tell who the real monsters are.

  Alex Webster : I didn't kill my wife.

  Catherine Chandler : We just spoke to a woman you're having an affair with. And I have DNA that proves there are at least four others. You made every one of your women fall in love with you and think that the only thing standing in the way of their fairy tale ending was some pretend prenup. Mr. Webster, I don't think you killed your wife. But you are the reason she's dead.

• Vincent Keller : They told me I could be part of something great, make a difference. It was called Operation Meerfield. They told us they were vitamins, antibiotics, steroids that would protect us.

  Catherine Chandler : What were they?

  Vincent Keller : Like I said, I should have asked questions. I think they were DNA. Heightened our strength, our reflexes, our senses.
