As it has been two months without incidents, they finally seem free of enemies, and Catherine and Vincent, after spontaneously getting married on the roof, are on their honeymoon in France, in and around Paris. After a few days of bliss in bed and sightseeing, a tandem bicycle trip is cut short when Vincent races off, having spotted a car crash, just in time for his beast persona to drag out a woman and man before their car explodes. Luckily the French police ascribes the husband's mention of a monstrous transformation to shock, but it proves dilemmas will reoccur. Sooner then feared, as J.T. Forbes, who resumed teaching science, is confronted with a high-profile blog on Vincent's beast activities. Tess' plan to ignore it while they move in together proves futile, when J.T. and Heather run into serious trouble trying to prevent exposure by the blogger. Informed, the newly weds return home and attempt to disable the exposure, only to stumble upon a most accomplished beast hunter, who sets a trap of his own.

Deputy Secretary Hill withdraws his cover protection, because the deal did not cover future developments like this. The only lead points to Durbridge Hotel, where a bomb explodes, deliberately not killing rich socialite Bootsy Durbrige.

A DHS tip leads from murdered German hit-man Richter to the crime lord who hired him, perhaps as beast bounty hunter: arms dealer Pierre Medjani. He seems to run an illegal fight club, so Catherine suggests Vincent to fight there. On arrival only the female competition is still open, so Catherine steps up against Vincent's better judgment. Meanwhile Heather, recruited by Cat as personal assistant to the Keller household, finds out what a mess the Keller household is, besides also dodging romantic gestures from her paramedic Kyle.
