I finally found a list of the episodes so if you are planning to watch the 1987 show, Beauty and the Beast, if you are autistic, and especially if you are Black and autistic, you might want to skip Season 1's episode 23, "Chamber Music".

It's about an autistic Black boy being exploited, dehumanized, and ultimately traumatized and his entire life ruined because people only care about him because of what he can do for them, which in his case is his ability to play music on the piano without having to be taught.

The entire point of the episode is that the way he is being treated is horrific and wrong, but if you're autistic, and especially Black, you do not need to be told this. You can skip it.

I literally cannot hear any part of Moonlight Sonata without being filled with murderous rage.

If you're already aware that ABA is literal torture and abuse and that autistic people, and especially Black autistic people, are regularly dehumanized and abused, you don't need to watch this episode.

Beauty and the Beast 1987

I’ve been binge watching the original 1987 Beauty and the Beast TV series, and you romance writers can all give up. You’re not going to write a better boyfriend than Vincent.

Reflecting - Chapter Thirty-Three

Chapter Thirty-Three

“Put her down, carefully.” Raphael ordered them, the gun in his hand still dangerously close to Micki’s head.

Jack and Ryan complied, placing the mirror with Catherine inside down on the carpeted floor of the hallway.

“Good, now step away from her, move back.” he said, attempting to walk and push Micki with him at the same time. “Don’t fight me or you’ll wind up making a mess with your brains all over my walls.”

“Don’t hurt her!” Ryan shouted, wanting desperately to jump the madman.

Casares again moved closer to the mirror, dragging Micki with him. She wanted to struggle, but worried about the gun in his hand and the tenuous grip he had on reality.

A shout from behind made Casares press his back against the hallway wall, in order to keep Ryan and Jack in his sight, as well as see who had just come up the stairway to join them.

It was Johnny, his face cut in several places and bleeding, who turned the corner, brandishing a gun and shouting for Casares to drop his and let Micki go.

“You again!” Casares shouted. “Leave me alone! All of you, just leave me and my Catherine alone!”

Johnny wanted to put a bullet in the man’s head, but he was holding Micki too close to him to allow a clear shot. Glancing towards Jack and Ryan, he saw the fear in their eyes matched Micki’s. Casares was unpredictable now, his mind unraveling before them.

“Raphael,” Jack said, stepping forward slightly. “I already agreed to stay with you, to help you. You don’t need the rest of them. Why don’t you let them go and you and I can work on the puzzle of the mirror together.”

Raphael laughed, but there was nothing comical in the sound. Desperation and madness were taking hold of him. “You? You have wasted my time with your books and your spells. You are useless! I know what to do. I know what to do with all of you!”

Micki’s heart was pounding in her chest. Their lives were at the mercy of an obsessed maniac with a gun. She looked past Jack at the mirror standing so out of place in the hallway. Catherine stood inside it, watching the scene before her, unable to help, unable to look away.

“I am going to keep you all, lock you up.” Casares went on ranting. “The four of you give me four more months to keep my beloved alive and well. Trapped yes, always trapped. But she will still be mine. My Catherine. My prize.”

The mirror was standing facing toward the end of the hallway that led to the staircase, and Casares had slowly been moving closer to it, his back pressed against the wall, Micki tight in his grip. Ryan and Jack had been forced to move the other way, lest they upset the madman. Soon, they were standing with Johnny, looking towards Casares and Micki, and Catherine in the mirror.

“I’ll have to lock you up, somewhere here, somewhere safe.” he continued, his voice rising as his mind raced. “I’ll kill you, one by one, and then find some others. That is the key, see? I can’t get her out, but I can keep her, all to myself.”

Jack shook his head. “Raphael, she doesn’t belong to you. She doesn’t belong to anyone. Catherine is a person, and she has the right to be free. You are keeping her trapped, like some sort of possession. That isn’t love, that’s cruelty.”

“NO!” Casares shouted, waving the gun away from Micki to the three men now. “She’s mine, she loves me, I saved her! She would have been dead if I had left her there. Dead and gone. I saved her so she is mine!”

A noise from behind him, at the far end of the hallway near the servant staircase, caused Raphael to stop speaking. He didn’t turn, instead him and Micki watched as the faces of Ryan, Johnny and Jack changed. Their eyes wide, the mouths open, they looked past Raphael and Micki, past Catherine in the mirror, towards something even further down the hallway.

“What the …” was all Johnny could mutter.

“Don’t play me for the fool.” Casares said, hoping they were attempting to trick him more than believing they were. Something about their look in their eyes made him believe what they were seeing behind him was real.

Still held in his grasp, Micki turned her head and looked down the hallway. The gasp from her was finally enough to cause Raphael to turn and look, as well.

Walking slowly towards the group was what appeared to be a man, but like no man they had ever seen before. His features were partially hidden by the hood of the cloak he wore, but what they could see was unreal, fantastical.

The creature walked and dressed like a man, but he had feral, feline features, like that of a lion. Or rather, of a man-lion. It was impossible to compare him to anything, as there was nothing to compare him to. He stopped short of the group, sensing the danger inherent in the small crowded space. The mirror faced away from him, so he only saw it’s back.

Catherine watched the faces of the group before her, more confused than ever. She looked at Jack, her eyes pleading with him to help her understand what was going on.

Jack looked away from the strange new visitor and turned his eyes toward Catherine. He smiled. “Vincent.” he said.

Catherine read the word from Jack’s lips and her eyes lit up. She wanted to turn, to see him. But she couldn’t. She was trapped, at the mercy of where the mirror was placed.

Casares attention locked on Vincent, his grasp on Micki slipped. She was finally able to pull away from him without his trying to hold her back. She ran to Ryan, who pulled her to him, his arm around her shoulder. Johnny noticed their closeness.

“You. How could you have found us?” Casares asked, looking at Vincent. “I moved away, and you thought she was dead and buried. How?”

The look on Vincent’s face was curious. He seemed to understand what the man said, but was still confused by the meaning. If it was possible Catherine was here, alive, then where was she? And how did this man know who he was? Vincent stepped forward.

“No!” Casares shouted, holding the gun up again, aiming it at Vincent. “Stop! She is mine, not your’s! Mine! You can’t have her, I have done so much to keep her, she belongs to me!”

“Casares!” Johnny shouted from behind him. “Drop the gun, or I will shoot you myself.”

Raphael turned towards Johnny and the rest, then back at Vincent. He felt trapped. All he wanted was Catherine, to be with Catherine. He moved away from the wall and stepped in front of the mirror, looking at the woman he had waited for so very long.

“You are mine, don’t you see. I saved you. I saved you for me! So we could be together, forever!” he pleaded with her.

Catherine mouthed the word ‘No’ and looked away from him.

“NO! Don’t turn away from me! You’re mine, my Catherine!” he shouted. He pulled the gun up again, aiming it squarely at the center of the mirror, at Catherine. “You’re my prize. If I can’t have you, no one can!”

Micki screamed at the same time Vincent roared and rushed forward.

But they were both too late. Casares had pulled the trigger and fired the gun. Again, the silencer muffled the shot, but the bullet hit the mirrored glass dead on and ricocheted off and away, the cursed glass unbreakable.

A low moan came from someone in the hallway, and everyone froze in their tracks, wondering who had been the victim. Vincent stopped, standing just behind the mirror now.

The gun slowly fell from Raphael’s hand and hit the carpet with a thud. He followed it down, collapsing on his knees before the mirror, his hand going to his chest. “You were my prize.” he said softly, pulling his hand from his chest and placing it against the glass. His body slumped and his hand slid off the mirror as he went down, leaving a bloody streak behind. Casares crumpled to the floor, dead, his obsession finally at an end.

R. Martin. Yeah. that George R. R. Martin. This novelization is by Ru Emerson.

[ID: Twenty two screenshot from the show Beauty and the Beast (1987), showing Catherine Chandler and Jace Walker talking in his office.

As they stand in front of one wall covered in martial weapons, Jace is saying with a smile, "Besides, the guys in the white hats always win."

Catherine, smiling back, asks, "Do they?"

"Well, at least in fairy tales." Jace says, picking up a chair for her.

She sits, and he leans on the desk besides her while she looks at him as he says, "You know, the city has its own myths. We're all so rational, so sophisticated and cynical, but we still need our gods and demons, our heroes and villains."

He straights and starts to walk to the other side of the desk, continuing, "I knew a man, used to work the IRT. He swore he saw a monster down there once, when he was troubleshooting some track.

"You hear the street people talk about it too, some terrible, fierce creature who haunts the dark places. Some thing with the face of a demon and the soul of an angel."

Catherine smiles in disbelief, saying, "You can't possibly believe that, can you?"

"They believe it. Don't you see?" Jace replies, "Because they need to believe. Inside, we're all children, scared of the dark, wishing there really was a Batman."

Catherine leans forward, joking, "But Batman was never half as formidable as you, was he?"

"I can take care of myself." Jace replies, before crossing his arms over his chest, still smiling, "But I tell you, all the fighting techniques in the world don't equal what I learned from Isaac Stubbs in one afternoon. You remember his first rule?"

"On the street, there are no rules." Catherine responds.

The camera focuses on Jace's face as he says, "That's the problem with doing things your way. You believe in rules. The predators don't."

Catherine demands, "So we throw away the rules? Then what's the difference? The color of our hats?"

"I don't have to tell you the difference." Jace responds, "You know it already, or you wouldn't be here."

End ID.]

He's right.

Unfortunately the writers are racist cowards and he dies at the end of the episode.
