In "Beauty and the Beast" season 2 episode 9, titled "Brothers," viewers are taken on a journey through Vincent's past. The episode introduces us to two of Vincent's brothers, William and Ethan, who he has not seen in years. William, the older brother, works for the government and is seeking Vincent's help with a case in which he believes Vincent's skills could be useful. Ethan, on the other hand, has a much more complicated relationship with Vincent.

Throughout the episode, the audience is shown flashbacks of Vincent's past with both brothers. We learn that Vincent, William, and Ethan were separated as children after their family was involved in a terrible accident. Vincent was taken in by a doctor who experimented on him in an attempt to rebuild his broken body. Meanwhile, William and Ethan were put into the foster system, each experiencing their own traumas and difficulties as a result.

The present-day storyline revolves around William's case. He is investigating a group of terrorists who are planning an attack on a major city, and he believes that Vincent's abilities could help him put a stop to their plan. Vincent is hesitant to get involved, both because he has moved past his vigilante days and because he doesn't want to risk exposure. However, William convinces him to help, and the two begin working together to gather information.

Meanwhile, Ethan shows up unexpectedly, creating tension between Vincent and his brother. Ethan is resentful of Vincent for abandoning him and William as children, and he has a difficult time forgiving him for not being there for him when he needed him. The two brothers hash out their feelings in a few emotional scenes, revealing more about Vincent's past and the complicated relationships he has with his family.

As the episode progresses, Vincent and William make progress in their investigation, although not without some close calls and danger. They track down the terrorists and uncover their plot, but not before Vincent's identity is nearly exposed. In the end, Vincent is able to save the day and protect his secret, but not without some repercussions.

"Brothers" is an episode that delves deep into Vincent's past, exploring the complex relationships he has with his family and the trauma that he has endured. It also serves as a reminder that even those who are closest to us can hold onto grudges and resentments, and that forgiveness is not always easy. As always, the show balances its action-packed plot with emotional depth, creating a well-rounded episode that leaves viewers eager for more.
