Emily: "Darkness scares us. We yearn for the comfort of light as it provides shape and form allowing us to recognize, to define what's before. But what is it we are really afraid of, not the darkness itself but the truth we know hides within."
Emily(Emily VanCamp) Nolan (Gabriel Mann) and Aiden (Barry Sloane) wonder what's going on and what the Initiative are planning. No lights, no phones, but no one wants to use a landline. Daniel (Josh Bowman) takes Charlotte (Christa B Allen) back to campaign HQ cos it's secure whilst Conrad (Henry Czerney)sends home most of his staff. His helicopter is ready as he'll need it to get Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) here in the morning for his final speech and what a blow out of a speech it will be. Declan's (Connor Paolo) stuck inside with the awful Regina (Seychelle Gabriel) who has the video of her and Charlotte kissing on her phone. Jack's (Nick Wechsler) stuck with Victoria and he still foolishly confides in her about the computer and Conrad having Amanda killed. He thinks it's in the safe in his study but he couldn't get to it. Thus Victoria obliges.
Once there he doesn't find the computer but he sees the file on Amanda which Victoria said she needed as she came after her family, but he can have now. Also she hides Jack's file. Later when she disposes of it in the garbage cos she's not heard or seen a shredder before, no it's easier to just dispose of it intact so anyone can find it. Funny enough she chooses that certain bin with the discarded pregnancy test and thinks it's Emily and that's why she's marrying Daniel. He denies this of course and she realizes it's Charlotte. Daniel has an IT guy there to ensure all trails lead back to Aiden.
Emily and Nolan find a way to ensure Aiden is off the hook as far as taking responsibility is concerned and she thinks Takeda (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) can help since he knew of the Initiative's plans. Nolan tries to access Carrion but the Falcon has excluded him from the programme. He accompanies Emily and she finds Takeda's DB. Thinking the Initiative may be behind it. She sees the sword and that it was a fair fight as they were evenly matched and finds his own box of secrets. The photo of a woman and one of a man whose is circled. Emily thinks he may be the killer.
She warns Aiden to leave and he wants her to go with him but she refuses. He hands her the passport and she sees the marks on his hand and arm. He killed Takeda but he tries to explain Takeda drove him to it when he threatened to expose him to Emily. He had his own "revegenda" as Nolan called it. His fiance was on the flight, a stewardess and so he wanted Emily to take her revenge cos he wanted it too. Daniel calls and she leaves. At Grayson Global she sees the man in the photo as the IT man, which we already knew.
The power is restored of course and Victoria lets Conrad in on a few secrets. Such as Jack wanting the computer and Conrad remarking it's at the bottom of the ocean. Funny that, cos that's exactly where Emily threw it. Also telling him Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) is working with Jack. Yet again, "oh my poor Conrad . yet another female conquest hell bent on your destruction. Oh my God it's like deja vu all over again." Causing Conrad to set up a plan to ensure Jack doesn't use the recording by giving it to the press. He tells Ashley not to let Jack in and the first thing she does is to text him with Conrad watching, stupid Ashley, no brain at all! ha. Jack gets the message but can't call her. In the file he finds that Amanda had been to Japan.
Aiden gives Nolan an envelope for Emily as he's leaving. Admitting he killed Takeda and Nolan lets slip she left her revenge behind once when she went to Japan for Jack. He thanks Nolan for being a good friend in the end. Emily opens the envelope to find a clipping with the four stewardesses on the flight. He was protecting Emily by not telling her. They ID IT guy as Gregor Hoffman (Falk Hentschel) an assassin as Conrad sets up Jack by using Ashley's phone to send a message saying the computer is at Grayson Global. Emily and Nolan try to reach Jack but he's already in the building as Emily rushes to save him.
Conrad gives his speech about uniting as one and sees the assassin nodding to him. That's why he wanted Daniel here by his side as he sets the explosion at Grayson Global. With Jack inside. But we know Jack isn't the one who die's he's too pivotal a character.
Meanwhile there's that whole Charlotte mess with Regina lying to her telling her Declan threw her on the street and stole the money. Of course he denies it but Charlotte doesn't listen and has him escorted out. Victoria blabs to Declan about Charlotte being pregnant and he should stay away from her. Well she'll get her wish. Charlotte finds out Regina lied when he tells her she's in love or obsessed with her and has that video.
So we have to wait for part 2, why couldn't we have just got it in one go too!! Okay spoiler here but by now everyone knows the one to be killed off is Declan. Which is a bit of a silly plot to pursue, first Jack loses Amanda now Declan, especially when Charlotte is pregnant. If anyone had to go as I said before I would have opted for Charlotte. She's always been a loose end.
Seeing as Conrad puts his own agenda into motion by blowing up Grayson Global seems everyone underestimated at how much of a villain he could really be. Not only to cover his back re the investor money but also to ensure the blame gets put onto Aiden and that Jack is taken care of in the process too. As well as ensuring before the explosion ensues everyone gets a message on their phones: "Long live David Clarke." As we see Conrad stoop to this level do we assume that he was the one behind the first plane explosion? Is he really behind the Initiative? Well it's a good way for him to cover his tracks and still stay in everyone's good books as an innocent 'pawn' of the Initiative. Considering there wasn't much of backlash when Helen was killed and no one even thought about Trask and what happened to him. Also Helen always dealt with Conrad.
SO Jack thinks he's doing the right thing in exacting revenge on Conrad re Amanda but he ignores all the warnings. Emily warned him about trusting Victoria but he didn't listen. Then they try to warn him again but he's hell bent on revenge he doesn't see the bigger picture and more fool him for trusting Ashley too. She's so useless. Past experience shows nothing good comes of teaming up with her, remember Tyler.
Even after Emily finds out about Aiden killing Takeda she still fears for him and wants him to leave though she won't go with him. Hurry up Part 2!
