Revenge- Resurgence (3×07)

Published

“But in its harshest reality, the ocean is a barrier separating you from those you love.” 

Is there ever a day when there isn’t a party or an extravagant gala hosted in the Hamptons??? Doesn’t seem like it. Bad publicity is just as good as good publicity right? Wrong!!! As Emily fights like hell to keep all the string ties, human emotions are pulling the strings from her reigning hands.

Conrad hires Busy Phillips, a new PR lady to take his broken and suffocating family and fix them by making them a family that is appealing to the public.  Her number one priority is to make Victoria and her soon-to-be daughter in law friends instead of enemies. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be in the cards for the two, especially since Victoria will do just about anything to break up Daniel’s engagement to Em’s. Victoria even stooped so low as to compel Aiden to get back into Emily’s life and bed. But when Emily doesn’t budge at Aiden’s sweet cheek kisses, Victoria moves on to plan B, Sara.

Charlotte invites Sara to the wedding and Victoria’s welcome is anything but warm. But Charlotte has got the right idea looking after Daniel’s happiness instead of concentrating on her hate towards Emily, which makes her realize that Daniel actually still has feelings for his college sweetheart. Victoria obviously see’s this as an opportunity to rid her life of Emily. It’s weird because Victoria clearly never liked Sara, yet she likes Sara more than she likes Emily. Maybe it isn’t even the fact that she can tolerate her more, but because she’s the weaker link. With Emily, Daniel is more independent and brave. He stands up for himself and he becomes this strong person, because that’s who Emily is. Emily is also familiar with this world and she’s cunning enough to outsmart Victoria at anything. Sara is nice, nice enough to get chewed up and spit out after one day on her own in this society. She doesn’t have it in her to outsmart, let alone stand against Victoria and I think that’s why she would rather have her in Daniel’s life.

Sometimes I truly feel sorry for Daniel because ultimately, he didn’t really ever do anything to Ems. He’s merely a link that gets Emily to her ultimate revenge, which is why he and this marriage, is so important. There are unfortunately circumstances that Emily couldn’t foresee nor could she control. That’s just life. Sara is one of them.  Victoria kicked Aiden out of the house because he was no longer an asset in her plan. This left both Emily and Aiden confused, until Nolan’s glasses conveniently recorded Daniel almost smooching Sara.  (Emphasis on the convenient.) So what’s a girl to do now? What all girls do when they feel like their about to lose the man they love. Get pregnant!! (That is what the previews are trying to say right?) Emily will stop at nothing and given the introduction of this season of Emily standing in a wedding dress, this wedding will happen whether Victoria, Daniel, Emily or whoever else, likes it or not.

Emily also needs to take down Busy, whose a possible threat at outing Emily’s secret identity.  She plants a fake marriage to Busy,  who spills the beans to Victoria setting off Emily’s plan to sabotage the PR guru, who once outed Nolan publicly resulting in his ended relations with his father that were never restored before his death. I’m not really sure what the point of this was, unless the writers are planning to bring this mystery husband of Emily’s into the action. next week. Hey, they did say a special guest was coming to the Hamptons! But who is he? We don’t really know much about Emily’s past, so who could she possibly find to be her husband? Nolan didn’t even use that blackmail against her. Instead, he used his charm to make nice with Busy until she needed to check her phone. He gave her his pretty technologically advanced glasses to use, which recorded everything, including her password, which Nolan needed hack into her phone, destroy her client base and take her down for good.

But my favorite and the character I feel for most, Jack, is still mourning Amanda’s death. It sucks because he really got involved with this whole scheme unintentionally and lost his wife and the mother of his child. Now he’s getting involved with Margeoux, which I kind of hoped was just a one time thing, but it seems like he really has feelings for her. He finally said his goodbye’s to Amanda and took off his wedding ring before going to sleep with the French editor. Gosh I’m just so disappointed!! I thought he really was into Emily and secretly I was still rooting for them. You know just in case Victoria killed Aiden in his sleep or something. Hopefully he realizes that being with Margeoux was a huge mistake. She’s involved with the Grayson’s on such a deep level and for someone who wants to rid himself of the family that ruined his with not even the blink of an eye, he really should be more careful of who he keeps company. I think Jack also freaked out a little when Margeoux talked about exposing the real Conrad Grayson because he knows that by digging into his life, you either get killed or expose Emily sooner or later.

jk

Ahh!!! We’re getting really close to the big day and its nerve-wracking to see Emily’s plans all fall apart. It is depressing because once this is all over, she might never see Nolan or Jack again. But if this mission is over, how will the show continue? This isn’t the last season! Maybe something goes wrong! But not so wrong that Emily dies from a gunshot wound. Why is she even shot in the first place? Does someone find out she’s actually Amanda Clarke? Does her plan with Victoria shooting her actually work? Does she actually marry Daniel? How does she take down Sara? How does she keep Daniel? There is so many questions that could determine the fate of this show!!! I just can’t wait!!

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.
