Vincint is captured by a ruthless gang after following Catherine to an explosive witness meeting. The episode tells of Vincint painful search for a way back to his home after escaping the gang. It is slightly violent, but has some touching moments. If you like emotionally charged shows then this is for you.

So says a female member of a youth gang that has kidnapped Vincent. Vincent has been badly-injured in an explosion and, now chained, is being cruelly taunted and tortured by the gang. Vincent manages to make his escape, killing one of the gang members in the process. Suffering from badly-blurred vision and other injuries, he must try to find his way to safety Below, all the while being sought by the youth gang who are now seeking revenge against him. As bad as his plight is, one can envy him one thing: there is a woman desperately seeking him, seeking to help him, ready to lay her life down for him. Her name...is Catherine.

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. "No Way Down" finished 34th out of the 44 episodes.

I placed "No Way Down" 26th in my own personal 1-through-44 rank-ordering of the episodes.
