Revenge- Duress

Published

on

“Black Mail Isn’t Just for Breakfast Anymore”

The wait is over and Revenge was finally back on the air last night. Although to my disappointment the episode was not as intriguing as the past ones.

Tyler was a lunatic. Do you all think we saw the last of him cause I’m not sure? It actually shocks me that Mrs. Grayson the one that had her security guard around all the time and had him do background checks on basically everybody, let some stranger into her house because he was a friend of Daniels. As we all know Daniel does not have the best taste in people, that should have been a warning label. But Tyler needless to say was not as dumb as he looked, even picking up on the GPS that was implanted in his cellphone and fooling Nolan Ross (who could have definitely taken Tyler on). Come on that knife wasn’t even that big… If Nolan would stop being scared of everything this could have been resolved in a completely different way… Where was his security guard anyways?

My next question lies with Amanda Clark aka Emily Thorne. Did the real Amanda not inform Emily that her father was framed and he really wasn’t behind the terrorist plot that blew up the flight? It seemed to me that during dinner when Tyler was threatening to shoot everybody and exposed pieces of the truth about Conrad, Amanda (Emily) was actually shocked. Then as she was heading home with Jack she seemed to be intrigued by what he said and wanted to dig deeper for the “real answers”. So my assumption is that the real Amanda just informed her that her father was a terrorist and wanted her to live with that so she could come and get revenge on all these people low key?

The reason Mrs. Grayson is so infatuated with Emily is because she feels a connection to her. It was interesting to see when she met eye to eye with Amanda for the first time that she had a feeling it wasn’t really Amanda. I’m interested to see how this is going to play out between the two ladies. And what’s Emily’s plot for Amanda? She mentioned her to the Grayson’s and brought her to dinner to see their reactions and torture them sure, but does she believe that Mrs. Grayson is going to run Amanda out of the Hampton’s or what? I don’t think that the fake Amanda has enough knowledge on the case to prove herself though…. Jack is just kind of oblivious, and definitely still smitten on Emily, which he should be cause she is the real Amanda…. 

The relationship between the Graysons is one of interest to say the least. A couple so “in love” has turned to hate and manipulation, but Victoria has to hate Conrad much more as she is willing to forge papers that say she was really pregnant to void their pre-nup otherwise she knows she wont get anything. All is fair in love and war I assume, and as Conrad himself mentioned it, Victoria was once a nobody but it only takes a couple of minutes to learn how to function in their world. Also her scrap booking move, taking the idea from Emily and using it, very rico-suave Victoria. As Emily put it “how 
.” But whats best about Emily is that she could say so much and put so many people on the spot and she doesn’t. It most definitely is one of her best traits. 

Lastly, the real Amanda is pretty kick-ass. How she knows everything that she knows is beyond me, but its what draws me in every week. She probably has video camera’s set up everywhere so that she knew Tyler was at Nolan’s or she just has amazing animal instincts, either way she’s not dumb enough to leave a handgun loaded. She was expecting Nolan. She knew he would turn on her and she knew there would be no bullets. She’s ahead of the game, she’s 2 steps ahead of everybody else- if not more. I honestly believe that revenge never gets old and if any of you guys wants to get some revenge on someone, you should use some of Amanda Clark’s tactics. 



Memorable Quotes

  • Mrs. Grayson: Well like so many things it hasn’t aged well. 
  • Tyler: It does appear that you despicable people are starting to rub off on me.
  • Nolan: We sure know how to pick em huh?
  • Emily: Duress impacts relationships in one of two ways; it either tears people apart. It strengthens their connection binding them tightly in a common objective. 
  • Emily: When duress is applied to the emotionally unstable the result can be as violent as it is unpredictable

Here’s the ending song of the episode, a cover of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” by Lissie. Its pretty dope, for a cover!!! Enjoy my lovelies <

Revenge- Two Graves (4×23)

Published

on

And just like that, we close the chapter of Revenge. We say goodbye to Victoria Grayson, David Clarke, Emily Thorne and most importantly Amanda Clarke. Can I say I’m totally content with the ending? Yes and no.

Amanda said, when you embark on the path or revenge, always dig two graves. One for Victoria- may she rest in peace. The other, for Amanda and all the parts of herself she lost along the way. That was metaphorical. The second grave, was for her father, David Clarke, who got a piece of her back that was gone before the revenge. In the end, she gained time to get to know him, but lost him to the cancer. You always lose something while gaining something else.

But let’s reverse a little shall we. We picked up this final episode with Amanda admitting that she was guilty of killing Victoria after finding out Ben had been murdered. She knew the only way to end this once and for all was to get transferred to a maximum security prison and break out with Nolan and Jack’s help.

When Victoria found out Amanda was out of jail, she began taking precautions. But, eventually, her heart got in the way of things. Margaux had set everything up; she got Victoria a passport and a private jet out of town. But, Victoria decided to attend her own funeral where she heard Louise speak fondly of her. She decided she didn’t want her to mourn her death, so she asked Margaux to bring Louise to her. She was obviously really shocked, but agreed to keep Victoria’s secret.

Victoria admitted to putting her mothers body in the explosion, hence the dental records that came back linking the body to Victoria. Before she sacrificed her mothers corpse, she went to visit her in the hospital. I didn’t really get the point of this whole scene and only really figured that Victoria had the same relationship with Emily as her mother had with her. Plus, she’d also failed as a mother with all of her children, but her weakness was that heart of hers, which ultimately got her killed.

When Amanda learned that Victoria used her mother, things were really set in motion. Nolan figured out that Margaux was helping Victoria by hiring hit-woman White Gold. When they realized White Gold was coming for Emily, it was too late. Thankfully, David made the call to 911 and they saved Jack, who did quite the job defending himself from the assailant.

This led Amanda to make the ultimate choice- she was ready to kill Victoria. But how? How would she find out where she was hiding. Louise! After finding out Victoria had played her, she realized that Nolan had been right the whole time; Victoria was a manipulative bitch who didn’t care about anyone but herself. She physically brought Amanda to Victoria’s hiding place and I couldn’t have been more proud. At this point, Victoria knew she was going to die– you could see it in Amanda’s eyes. She was done playing- she knew the only way to end this once and for all was to end Victoria. As she was about to pull the trigger, David shot Victoria. As she lay dying, she used her last breath to pick up a gun and shoot Amanda.

Okay, at this point, I was like holy crap, Amanda cannot die. We’ve come so far. Done so much. Four-years worth of revenging…. They can’t both die at the same time right? Right! Amanda was saved, spent a lot of time with David in his last few months before the cancer took him, reconnected with Charlotte and married Jack.

Sort of perfect ending if you think about it. She got her revenge, she got to know her dad, she got rid of the bitch and she got the boy. Sure, she lost a lot of people along the way and part of herself, but I feel like it was worth it. She knew what she was getting herself into when she started this whole thing. And that’s what’s most important.

Louise finally redeemed herself. Margaux also took the high road, helping Nolan bring down White Gold and turning herself in in honor of Daniel. She wanted to be proud of the person she was and helping Victoria destroyed her soul. It’s funny if you think about it. Victoria thought she had all these minions who seemed faithful but weren’t because eventually, they realized they were fighting for the wrong thing. Amanda was painted as this evil person, but she did everything out of love. Victoria, she did it for self-preservation and she wasn’t afraid to throw anyone under the bus.

As Amanda and Jack jetted off into the sunset, after having a beautiful wedding with Carl as the ring bearer, she had a terrifying dream. At least, I hope it’s a dream. In it, the doctor thanks Charlotte for agreeing to use her mothers heart for a heart transplant to save Amanda. It seems rather ridiculous that they would include this though and maybe, Amanda’s heart really does belong to Victoria now. Maybe in a funny way, she ended up having to save her. And this was Charlotte’s way of getting back at her mother. Or, it’s just a reminder that she’ll never shake Victoria. Either way, we’ll never know and I guess its left up to interpretation.

As for Nolan, I feel like that was also left open for a possible spinoff show. He was so worried about what he would do after revenge since he got so good at it and Amanda made sure to send a guy his way that a. could be a potential love interest and b. needs help getting revenge for his mother. Oh, how things never change.

Were you satisfied with the series finale? Are you happy Amanda and Jack ended up together? Do you wish David Clarke made it through? Are you glad Victoria is finally 5 feet under? You know she never stood a chance against Amanda. I say, I’ll be content with the finale because Amanda, well, she pretty much got everything she wanted and more. I raise my glass to you Ms. Clarke!

Revenge- Plea (4×22)

Published

on

Alright Revengers, are you ready for the end? Next week is the series finale of Revenge and I am completely devastated. While I agree, the show needs to end, I don’t think all of my questions can be answered in one episode. I don’t think the closure I need from this weeks episode can come in 45 minutes! With that being said, lets tackle the biggest moments of this weeks episode…

  •  Louise got smart for one second and figured out that Victoria might be faking her own death. Who knew Louise could consider Victoria as anything but an “angel.” That didn’t last long however because she told Margaux that she found a hoodie similar to the one Ems wore when she allegedly attacked Victoria and the French liar once again fooled Louise into believing bull. Ugh get it together Lou-Lou!
  • After all this time, you’d think I wouldn’t be surprised by Emily’s bold decisions, but I still am. Why did she think switching her ankle monitor was a good idea? I don’t care how good Nolan is at his job, you know she’s going to get caught. You know Ben won’t let up and he’ll come to check on her. She was asking for trouble. If she involved Nolan and Jack in this for years, she could at least accept their help. Although I guess it’s a good thing they didn’t go cause they would end up dead.
  • Charlotte Greyson returned and it was tragic and totally useless. Rehab has done wonders for her yeah. She turned over a new leaf and is “helping” people, but did we really need to see her just to know that she didn’t care if her mom “died” again. She might be the smartest person in the Hamptons knowing her mom is capable of faking her own death just to get ahead.
  • Jack willingly helping Emily, believing her and bringing down Margaux was sweet to see. Thank god he finally came to his senses. And Margaux was key in Emily finding out how Victoria got away with such an elaborate plan. Also, how the hell does Emily know how to get keys in jail and stuff? Her life skills are on a pro level, for real.
  • David only has 6 months to live… give or take since the cancer has spread to his brain. This pissed me off. Emily did all of this just to lose her father to cancer? And without even getting a decent amount of time with him? I call BS!
  • Emily finally told Jack she had feelings for him and it wasn’t all that it should have been. When they kissed the nigh Sammy died, it still felt real. Then Emily fell in love with Aiden and now seeing her “want” Jack seems delusional and totally passionless. Boo.
  • Can you honestly believe Margaux stooped down so low? She was even the one who attacked Victoria just to frame Emily. And she’s using her magazine to expose that truth. It’s so sad since she was actually a pretty legit character before hitching her wagon to Victoria’s.
  • So the bitch isn’t really dead. She’s totally alive. Victoria is alive. We knew that, we speculated, but it was still really shocking seeing her casually walk out of the shower only to come face to face with Ben.
  • Who was in disbelief because this whole time he thought Emily was crazy but she was actually telling the truth. She was the one he should have trusted. Unfortunately, when he finally realized all of that he was stabbed by Courtney Love’s character and died. Oh Ben. He never even saw it coming which makes him a crap cop. But it was still sad. Let’s just say Emily won’t be happy to hear about this and there’s one more person just gone that could have corroborated Emily’s story! So, how will she get out? How will she prove her innocence?

Do you think Emily will die next week? The episode is called Two Graves which links back to the very first quote of the show… When starting Revenge, always dig two graves. Is one for Victoria and one for her? For her dad? For her old identity- Emily Thorne? I’d be super pissed if Emily, Nolan or Jack died… I’d literally take my red sharpie out and start avenging them. But, the promo doesn’t look too promising for either Victoria, Jack or Ems. What do you think? Use this week to mental prepare yourselves!

2. Victoria is alive. I mean, we speculated it would happen, but seeing her casually walk out of the bathroom still stunned us.
