Catherine Knows All
Season 3s opening scene is arguably one of Catherines most iconic moments.

Having told her she should wait for the professional to do their work, she beats them to it.
Im just becoming the person who Ive always wanted to be, she tells Clare.

She quickly defies orders while whacking out her baton and smashing the vans window.
But shes not quick enough, and the gang get away.

But as the first season progressed, Tommys luck quickly ran out.
A long recovery follows, but this whole sequence is a badass.
