Vincent sensing that he was lying and that Muirfield might behind it all, played along and agrees to go with him to help him fix his car. Soon after, Catherine arrives at the cabin looking for Vincent but was greeted by a not so happy Alex, who was becoming increasingly suspicious of Catherine and Vincent's so-called work relationship. Catherine explains that back in the city she found a bug in Alex's apartment, which means Muirfield knows where Vincent is. Catherine then leaves to find Vincent, but Vincent finds her instead.
