Emily: "They say let he who is without sin cast the first stone and to be without sin requires absolute forgiveness. But when your memories are freshly opened wounds, forgiveness is the most unnatural of human emotions."
This episode of Revenge didn't really deliver much in terms of anything new being added to the plot or sub plots. Other than Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria) delving into whether NolanCorp had any interest in Grayson Global, but even she got found out and Emily (Emily VanCamp) had to warn Nolan (Gabriel Mann) about this. She's already liquidated her shares in Nolan Corp so the trail won't lead back to her. Also Aiden (Barry Sloane) is getting pally with Daniel (Josh Bowman) to keep his foothold in the Grayson empire and eek out revenge, but there's more going on here and you can't help get the feeling that he's manipulating Emily or going behind her back. Like he did when he didn't tell her about Kara )Jennifer Jason Leigh) as here he admits he didn't tell her cos he was worried about the effect on Emily, especially when she recalls how she tried to kill her.
Emily has further flashbacks of being rescued by her father and also when he told her Kara was dead. Which we later find was Kara's idea. Seems all these feelings come rushing back now that her mother's in town. Kara keeps ringing Gordon's number and Aiden finds Emily has the phone. She really "hides" things in plain sight doesn't she, she needs to do much better than that.
Kara pays a visit to Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) and well, ingratiates herself into her life with Victoria offering her a place to stay at their house. Then Victoria can't wait to call Conrad (Henry Czerny) whilst he's in a meeting with Aiden. Acting as proxy for Takeda, he's at Grayson Global to ensure the investments are safe after the argument Conrad and Daniel had. That's his cover story anyway. Conrad rushes out of there, leaving Aiden with Daniel who shows him the company accounts. Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) suggests they go for drinks and she tells Aiden how Emily cheated on Daniel when they were engaged. Which worked out well for Ashley.
Nolan tells Emily about his father's death and she's sorry she wasn't there for him. At the hospital Amanda (Margarita Levieva) comes out of her coma, unscathed, like Lydia but she has her memory intact. Kara turns up to see her and Emily has her first meeting with Kara when holding baby Carl. Kara was rather aggressive when she asked what she was doing with her grandson; who isn't really her grandson. Jack (Nick Wechsler) isn't too happy about granny being there either.
SO in this family 'reunion' who should rear his ugly head again but none other than Mason Tredwell (Roger Bart) seems he's heard about Kara coming back from the dead and smells a rat or two. Confronts Victoria again when he finds her searching Kara's room as if she's trying to steal from her own house and also turns up at the hospital when Amanda is brought back from tests and notices her back. The pervert, er, wasn't the room a little crowded for someone who was still meant to be recovering. No rules that hospital.
Victoria is worried about Mason and Kara and if they get wind of her being here then the Initiative will interfere in their lives again. Conrad proposes to Victoria, that way if they're married they can't testify against each other. Ryan (JR Bourne) makes an offer for The Stowaway and Jack thinks it would be best to get out. Still can't figure out what he's up to yet, unless he and Padma are all connected, which doesn't appear that way and why was Padma so interested in David Clarke (James Tupper) anyway? Amanda doesn't recall Kara who tells her she's sorry for what she tried to do, she wasn't well. Emily listens outside to what should have been her conversation with her mother and not Amanda; who forgives her for what she did as Kara tells her David also forgave her.
Emily admits to Amanda she lied about Jack being the father of the baby since she wanted Amanda to help her still. Amanda knew Emily had feelings for Jack before she came here and now she's ended up with a family. Kara talks with Emily on the beach and thinks Amanda wants to forgive her. A lot of bad things have happened here. Mason admits he knows Amanda isn't really Amanda as she's no scar on her back from a fire. It's a wonder no one has done in Mason yet the way he keeps cropping up.
The look on Victoria's face when Kara hugged her, surprised she stopped herself from using the shears, ha. Also Kara was married to Gordon and she questions Victoria on where he might be. Emily telling Amanda she lied cos she wanted to keep her on side for longer didn't exactly sound truthful either, especially since she told her Jack wasn't the father out of sheer spite and vindictiveness. The look on her face said it all at the time. She can't have changed now.
Emily: "Over time we commit acts with intentions either good or bad that require forgiveness." Hey even the closing narration didn't have much going for it! Oh see Victoria still has her trusty chair, been meaning to mention that for a long time, since Conrad wanted it gone when she 'died.'
