When the Blue Bird Sings

"When the Blue Bird Sings" is the fourteenth episode of the 2nd season of Beauty and the Beast.

Plot
An eccentric young artist calling himself Kristopher keeps appearing in Catherine's life after meeting her in a bookstore – including near a tunnel entrance where he sees Vincent. Believing he faked his own death to advance his previously obscure works, Catherine tracks his paintings to a warehouse where Vincent joins her, but Kristopher vanishes after showing them the rest of his works. After Catherine arranges a successful show at a gallery, the gallery owner presents her with a wrapped painting that has her name on it – an oil painting Kristopher did of her and Vincent. When Vincent notices the paint completely dry, which takes years for oil paints, the air of mystery deepens.
