Revenge - Season 2

3) I think Victoria knew the office was bugged. Or at least suspected it. Otherwise why would lure Helen to the pool house where there was a gun conveniently stashed behind a seat cushion? Victoria wanted to get Helen alone to shoot her IMO.

She may not have figured it out on her own, but she certainly knew after Helen showed her the video of her and Daniel in the office. (I am remembering that correctly, right?)

And she definitely knew when she called Daniel from the phone she took off Helen's body. That was the whole point of the call -- the next two words out of your mouth have to be "Hello, Helen."

Could be either way - she might have already known when she went to Daniel in the office in a bold move to accelerate things and draw out Helen, or she didn't realize it until Helen showed up.

However, as per usual, although I enjoy this show immensely, the big hole is that Victoria knows full well that Helen is but one of a larger group, so drawing her would have alerted others, and killing her is by no means the end of it.

The biggest hole however is that the initiative hasn't figured out who Emily is, or at the very least hasn't seen her as any kind of threat. If they've been tracking Aiden all these years, surely they've come across Emily - especially when they've been openly showing a close relationship all over town.

And if they think Amanda really is David Clarke's daughter, then why on earth are they interested in some baggage handler's kid and not her?

Confession: I had a LOST reflex when Victoria gave Helen the combination to the safe. I immediately was trying to remember the number of the plane that went down and seeing if it coincided with the safe combo!

me too! I immediately leaned forward to catch the numbers, which turned out to be nothing. Silly writers - they should know by now, same network after all, that there are likely more than a few Losties caught up in this one.


Otherwise, Victoria was awesome this ep, and I continue to heart Conrad's portrayal. And I guess it's too much to hope that Jack perished in the boat, because surely it's evil Ryan brother to close that tiresome storyline (which almost got interesting with Conrad building a casino ala Lotus Point - points to anyone who knows what I'm talking about!).

Let's see if they do some crafty character development for Emily here - first the poignant pipe cleaner ring, and now the boat that bears her name sinks.

I think between this show's upcoming drama and Once Upon a Time's eagerly anticipated episode this weekend, I may be an emotional wreck sometime around 10:02 PM on Sunday, LOL

[HeatherC]

Bumping this up for the epicness that should be tonight's episode!!

[Matryeshka]

[HeatherC]

They like ramping up the suspense, don't they?!

[ArtisticFan]

Was I the only one hearing Melanie and Scarlett during that scene with Amanda and Emily?

[manhn]

One of the things I appreciate about Revenge is that they make their villains actually villains. I want Emily to get her vengeance, but I still find the Graysons extremely compelling.

I can't wait for Charlotte to join forces with Emily.

[cruisin]

WOW! I can't believe this episode!

[HeatherC]

My brain is broken from tonight....that's all I can muster right now, LOL That was so sad and I just don't have the energy to ramble enough about it right now. After the awesomeness that was both OUAT and Revenge tonight, I am VERY glad that I decided to record both shows so I can now rewatch them both to my heart's content for the next few weeks. GREAT episode tonight!!

[*Jen*]

I guess Emily's focus is back on the Graysons! That was very well done. The'd softened Victoria right up...she was a victim of Helen, of the Initiative, of her own bad decisions, and then....she and Conrad make sure that Amanda takes the fall and dies and if Nate hadn't done it, the Initiative would have.

I look forward to the day that Victoria discovers that Amanda wasn't really Amanda...and in the meantime, I can't wait to see what Emily does to them!

But where is the laptop?

[Jenny]

Wow, lots of death on Revenge these days! Loving loving loving Team Victoria and Conrad - so delicious

re the laptop - it didn't look like Emily's military grade laptop that Amanda showed to Conrad, although that one does seem to be missing from Emily's staircase stash. Might be one of those Revenge moments you just have to go with, and next ep we'll see her with it again.

I was hoping Jack would die instead of Amanda.

Actually, I just went back to that episode and paused on the scene - it is definitely Emily's laptop, which we saw Amanda take. I just can't believe she didn't put it back!

[miffy]

Just watched it - no surprises for me because I saw photos ages ago that effectively spoiled it. Still sad to watch it though.

But not as sad as having to wait 3 weeks for another episode. Isn't this the 3rd or 4th break this season? How do you cope? I know over here we have to wait months till they start airing a series but at least once it starts we get it every week!

Btw does anyone else find it unrealistic that Emily and Amanda scream the other one's name so naturally? Even though they have had their new identities for ages now for most of that time they didn't see each other so surely they would still think of each other's real names in a life or death situation... ???

I did wonder about that. I guess they've become their character, although in series 1 Emily did have a birthday cake for herself as Amanda. Their whole adult identities have been as the other person. Still...I did find it odd too.

I think Revenge is getting Sopranos level of good. That episode was amazing.

[MarieM]

Ok I wanted Fauxmily gone, and so she is. Sad sad sad ? Not sad at all. She had to go !

[cruisin]

I wanted Amanda gone last season. But, this season, I thought the character improved tremendously. I started to like her. So, I do feel a little sad. On message this sends is that the writers/producers are not afraid to kill of important characters. No one is safe. Except for maybe Emily and Victoria. And hopefully Nolan and Conrad.

[MarieM]

Killing Conrad could be one hell of a good idea Meoooooooow !

[KikiSashaFan]

It's back tonight!!
