The tunnel dwellers find themselves in a dilemna as the producer of a dangerous recreational drug responsible for many deaths Above turns out be a man (called Paracelsus) whom they exiled many years ago. How can they stop Paracelsus without taking the risk that he will expose the existence of the tunnel society to the authorities Above? Vincent takes this task upon himself, but he finds Paracelsus to be a formidable foe. There is some good drama here, and this is the episode that introduces us to the enigmatic Paracelsus.

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. "The Alchemist" finished 24th out of the 44 episodes.

I placed "The Alchemist" 27th in my own personal 1-through-44 rank-ordering of the episodes.
