Emily: "Power, borne out of nature, coveted by man. Wars rage on and victors are crowned. True power can never be lost or won. True power comes from within."
Emily (Emily VanCamp) meets with Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) who wants her to help with Daniel (Josh Bowman) who is approached by Helen Crowley (Wendy Crewson) ugh, wish someone would get rid of her already, all this Initiative business is quite boring, don't know why it was introduced, they had no problems without it last season, which is why maybe the show is having some trouble in whether it's renewed for a third season. They were just brought in to move the focus away from Victoria and Conrad (Henry Czerny) for the responsibility of the plane crash and framing David Clarke.
Helen tells Daniel if he looks deep enough he will finds out Grayson Global secrets which in turn will make him more powerful, even more so than Conrad could ever dream of being. For this purpose Daniel recruits Nolan (Gabriel Mann) to help him with a computer programme to go through the Grayson Global system and find these hidden nuggets. Nolan telling Daniel he shouldn't be so techie.
Victoria wants Emily to get back with Daniel and make him into the man he was when they were together, the one who wasn't so power hungry and into business, reassuring her he's still in love with her. Emily also gets to step onto Victoria's regal balcony for the first time and has a bird's eye view of what Victoria sees down there, more specifically her beach house. For this to work, Emily and Aiden (Barry Sloane) must feign a break-up which they do quite publically in the same restaurant Daniel is lunching with Conrad. Victoria also paying a visit to Daniel at his office to tell him about the dinner at their house with the Barnes, the judge and his wife, letting slip Emily will also be there having become a donor in Patricia Barnes's (Clare Carey) charity.
So it was no coincidence then, or was it, that Emily was looking into taking down the Judge now since he removed the only juror in the Clarke case who thought David was innocent and his court clerk, James Palmer wrote a letter stating this. There's fireworks at dinner as Emily casually mentions the Clarke case and how her professor of Torts when she was auditing his class was on the Clarke case. He being Palmer. It's obvious Patricia and her husband Robert Barnes (Geoff Pierson) are having problems as he takes her hand and she tries to resist. Emily looks her up and finds out she is being abused by her husband. Also how Patricia knew Palmer beforehand.
There's problems for Jack (Nick Wechsler) and Declan (Connor Paolo) at The Stowaway as Declan made a mountain out of a hill of coffeebeans whilst looking into what the Ryan's have stashed in their storage. Coming across drugs which they are smuggling in, well that was apparent. He spills the beans (ha) and has to tidy them up in a scene reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious, well it reminded me of that, where Cary Grant as agent Devlin breaks a wine bottle whilst searching in the cellar and drops the soil. Putting it back he leaves a trace behind. Which is what Declan did here, leaving behind a coffeebean which Nate (Michael Trucco) just happened to step on. Erm, well he did tell him he was keeping coffeebeans there, so what was the problem. Of course Jack having the idea to all on a old friend of his now a cop backfired. Since they find a gun and the drugs on The Amanda instead.
Jack sends Amanda (Margarita Levieva) and Carl to Emily's, so we know something's going to happen to her. Kenny (JR Bourne) tries to warn Declan off but Nate walks in and it's easy to see the two Ryan brothers aren't alike in many respects. Marco (EJ Bonilla) tries to worm his way back into Nolan's affections and Nolan tells him he has affections for someone else. I wouldn't trust the rat as far as he could be thrown. Grovelling like that after he betrayed Nolan, not only his friend and employer but also his lover.
Great scene with Nolan when he calls Aiden the "London Fog" and how Daniel tells him he and Emily have broken up. You see Nolan and Emily don't talk anymore which is what I miss about the show. Nolan finds out it was a "fake-up" as the Remington Steele walks up behind him, ha. He wants anything Nolan finds on Helen Crowley and the Initiative to be brought to him first and Nolan finds a video with her making a phone call, which he got the number of and Aiden lip reads the word, 'Ingress'' which means 'enter' in Latin. He calls up as Mathis and meets with her. Coleen is still alive but only as long as he keeps their meeting secret and she will contact him again for what she wants him to do.
At the fundraiser of Patrica's charity, which Conrad has become a member of, Emily gives Patricia the note and she recalls Palmer would have signed it cos he was more braver than her. She reads it out and tells everyone her husband knew the entire jury in the Clarke case was tainted and reveals her bruises. Conrad saying that he will ensure justice is done to its fullest wherever it needs to be.
Aiden watches Daniel and Emily kiss at the end as does Victoria, as Daniel wants Emily to help him with Grayson Global's more charitable pursuits and that skank Ashley got a mention too when he told her he dumped her, like she did with Aiden. There is so much more going on with Aiden than we know of and it's obvious he's quite ruthless too and would do anything when it comes to Emily and keeping her to himself, that look of his gave it all away.
Emily: "Power can be hoarded by the mighty or stolen by the innocent. Power provides the ability to choose but has a proclivity for corruption. The use of power is not to be taken lightly, for it is never without consequence."
Nolan: "BT dubs. I was so sorry to hear about your break up with Remington Steele. There really wasn't enough room in your sidecar for both of us." Hey Aiden doesn't even come close to being a match for Remington Steele!
This episode appeared to go back to season 1 with plenty of action and double dealing going on and more like the Revenge we know and want, as Emily crosses another face off her list. Appears she too is going to take down Grayson from the inside as is Nolan. That smile Emily gave when she broke up with Aiden and walked away from Daniel was similar to the smirk Victoria had when she too walked away from Daniel after inviting him to dinner. Oh look, he came, just to be with Emily.
