This time we get Amanda/Emily getting ready for her wedding to Jack when they were little and how this leads into the present day and Amanda's (Margarita Levieva) wedding. She makes rings from pipecleaners and even her father helps out when he finds out what she's doing. Nolan (Gabriel Mann) here is the one who's making preparations and is complaining about it, "who knew officiant was French for wedding bitch." Emily's (Emily VanCamp) worried about Aiden (Barry Sloane) and he hasn't heard from him either. Nolan tells her about Conrad (Henry Czerny) owning half the Stowaway and she's angry no one came to her for help. Been there, said that weeks ago. Emily gives a cheque to Amanda to cash and make it out to Conrad and pay back his money. Reminding her that she's not a part of their family, Charlotte (Christa B Allen) isn't her sister and the Grayson's will always be their enemy. Thought she was having a rant at Amanda here for marrying Jack (Nick Wechsler) and getting her life, what she wanted from it all along and how things should have been for her. But hey she's 'colluding' with Daniel (Josh Bowman) once again and she appears to have real feelings for him.
Nolan finds Aiden at NolCorp and he wants him to pull the video he intercepted of his sister and to analyze it, telling him about dates and where it was filmed. Nolan tries to say sorry about Colleen but Aiden's not really interested. Nolan finds the video was shot 6 years ago and using the electric meter serial number traces the location to New Jersey. Of course that video would have been old, it's not like the Initiative are sticklers to their word and it should have been obvious to Aiden that they wouldn't keep Colleen alive. Nolan tells Emily and she informs him of Aiden's father being a baggage handler at Heathrow and was made to put the bomb on the plane. He wasn't seen after that.
Thus giving Nolan the idea that Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria) may be in the same position so when she walks in he asks her exactly that and lets slip on purpose he knows what she's been up to. "I know the what, I don't know the why." Then he tells her about being careful of who she's calling "black, little kettle." After he tells her she's no longer in contact with her father. He confronts her since "my feelings for you defy logic." AGH Nolan why tell her everything already about only giving her half the info on carrion. She could be lying still and I didn't like Nolan parting with this piece of info he has which could become a matter of life and death.
Emily finds Aiden at the building and Nolan calls her about the coroner's report from 2007 which Emily told him to look for. He IDs Coleen from the photos at the coroner's office and claims he's failed her. Emily's encouraging him "that's why people like you and me fight, fell on deaf ears." Their fight against the Initiative isn't over and he insists she still see Daniel as he's their only link to the Initiative. He doesn't want to fight and walks away, leaving Emily on her own and in tears. She still has Daniel, though she's losing Jack to Amanda (not for long.) God she's got three men at her beck 'n' call where most of us can't even find one!!
Jack takes the money after some convincing from Amanda understanding he's proud but he doesn't want to get involved with the Grayson's after everything they've done to Amanda. He gives him the cheque but Connor won't accept it, showing him the plans for the casino. Jack will fight him every step of the way but Conrad says he'll show him what a man of means can achieve. Er, that didn't come in handy with the Initiative. Cue skank Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) listening in on the conversation when he later calls Nate (Michael Trucco) to tell him the deal's off.
Funny scene earlier on when Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) walks into his office to tell him about overhearing the conversation Daniel had with Helen (Wendy Crewson) and she's making her move, when she tells Ashley she's surprised to find her fully clothed. Victoria wants all the info they have on the Initiative and the plans for the flight so she can show Daniel. Her mistake talking to Daniel about all this at the office where Helen watches every word. I thought Conrad would have given Victoria a heads up about bugging especially since Amanda uses the video with the two of them and the white haired man as leverage to blackmail Conrad into accepting Jack's offer.
Conrad meets Nate to tell him the commission got wind of their deal and scuppered their plans. He then tells about the leverage being used on him and he connects this to the Porter's. SO he'll take matters into his own hands. Drawing us closer to the sinking of The Amanda.
Jack marries Amanda and Emily's placed the black bow tie he wore and the pipe cleaner ring into the ring box enabling Jack to remember their beach wedding as children. Emily is in tears and regrets what her life is now, probably for that instance. Aiden turns up and she sees him. Jack and Amanda set sail for their honeymoon with Nate in tow, as he cuts the radio link whilst Declan (Connor Paolo) calls Jack to ask about spare pacifiers, wouldn't a shop be more convenient! Daniel calls Emily to break up with her cos he's thinking of her safety and really doesn't want to. Reminding her of last Summer. Would have thought she would have got the hint that something wasn't right, but alas she doesn't. Well look back to season 1 and you'll recall everything that could go wrong last Summer, did!
Victoria is paid a visit by Helen who tells her she heard everything, and threatens Daniel when he gets into the service car unless she gives them the info she has on the initiative. Victoria cunningly leads her to the pool house and the safe which is empty, but she has a gun (convenient that or did she just have that ready for such an occasion.) Helen calls her bluff, she wouldn't shoot in cold blood, but she does. Of course she would, this is Victoria. Even though she hasn't got her hands dirty in the past, she has been behind many a killing, as has Conrad. Though she did shoot one of her mother's beaus on her say so, thus she's had practice aiming the gun and firing, ha! That Thanksgiving ep scene was probably a bit of foreshadowing for now, so we wouldn't be surprised when she called Helen's bluff. She then calls Daniel and makes him pretend he's talking to Helen and when he arrives at the pool house she shows him Helen's DB. Conrad complains about no one answering phones and then is shown her DB too! Funny scene that, even though it inadvertently turned out to be so.
Aiden turns up and apologizes for walking out on Emily. She tells him about Daniel but she doesn't know what's happened yet, wonder if she'll find out herself or whether Daniel will tell her. Doubt that since Victoria is now a killer. A lot of action on the part of the Revenge heroines this ep which came out of the blue, Victoria using her own initiative (!) and shooting Helen which will probably spark the beginnings of yet more problems for them and Amanda taking Emily's computer with all that evidence on there pertaining to the Grayson's. Which boils down to something Emily would do, but not so brashly. Conrad finding out she's the one behind all the trouble.
Emily: "From the moment we are born, we are drawn to form a union with others. An abiding drive to connect, to love, to belong. In a perfect union we find the strength that we cannot find in ourselves. But the strength of the union cannot be known until it is tested."
Hoping it's Nate they find at the bottom of The Stowaway, but we know Amanda won't come out of this either, so...that'll leave the way open for Jack and Emily, but will she want him then, you know, when he becomes available?
