So says Catherine to her plastic surgeon when he expresses surprise after she declines his suggestion that he remove a scar from the side of her face. It is the only remaining visible scar among those she acquired one year ago on the night Vincent discovered her, bleeding and left for dead. She apparently cherishes it. This episode has a rather unremarkable main plot wherein Catherine's boss is victimized (and Catherine endangered) by a conspiracy of unscrupulous (to put it mildly) lawyers. But there is a nice subplot involving preparations leading up to, and the culmination of, Vincent and Catherine's one-year anniversary celebration.

In 1998 I conducted a poll among Beauty and the Beast fans asking them to rate the 44 episodes of the first two seasons on a 1-to-10 scale. 31 fans participated. "Temptation" finished 27th out of the 44 episodes.

I placed "Temptation" 29th in my own personal 1-through-44 rank-ordering of the episodes.
