Emily: "It is believed that original sin can only be cleansed by the waters of baptism. But it is the sin that follow that are so easily not washed away. And since forgiveness of trespasses is only granted to the truly penitent, pure evil can never be erased."
Hot on the heels of Aiden (Barry Sloane) revealing himself to Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) last episode, he now tells her he can help her bring Emily (Emily VanCamp) down and get her out of Victoria's hair. Of course she wants nothing to do with him as she can't trust him and for that trust, she needs proof. Aiden of course dropping hints that Emily and Nolan (Gabriel Mann) were behind them losing their millions and for betraying him too, "in a way you couldn't imagine." Victoria sailing on the yacht now, which as Conrad (Henry Czerny) later remarks, she didn't want to use but is doing so now. So Aiden's burned now and he wants his revenge on Emily just cos he can't have her. I feel his storyline is pointless and they should deal with him already, or at least have Emily deal with him.
Emily takes it upon herself to now go after Father Paul Whitley (James LeGros) another one of Grayson Global's former employees even though he is now a priest and after Nolan warns her not to do that. Asking how many innocent people she will hurt who get in the middle of her plans, "her best laid plans." all Jack (Nick Wechsler) also tells her much the same, that after she's had her revenge on the Grayson's she should leave, otherwise he's going to give her up, okay he said that last ep but the same sentiment is still there. Nolan taking it upon himself to bake blueberry muffins after his six months inside, was a funny scene. As was Emily taking those same muffins over to the Grayson's, with Conrad helping himself. She threatens Victoria about Patrick (Justin Hartley) and revealing him to the others. Emily even finds him but he doesn't want to have anything to do with her.
Conrad needs to sell one of Victoria's precious paintings as they no longer have their millions. Aiden telling Victoria that Emily has them when he finds the deeds to Nolan's new house which she bought for him. After he looks for her infinity revenge box but doesn't find it, cos she's removed it and left it with Nolan for safe storage. Though it didn't look that safe to me seeing as it was just hidden behind Nolan's newly acquired painting. That painting was getting around since Victoria has sold it since she knows it will draw Patrick to it. Who does show up and tells her he left of his own free will and doesn't turn Charlotte (Christa B Allen) in.
Victoria then turning up to see Nolan with a house warming gift, those same muffins which found their way back to him. At least she didn't say she baked them! Ha. We also learnt hat Charlotte miscarried cos of what he had to endure with Declan dying and she will never forgive Conrad for being responsible.
Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Emily visit Whitley at his church as they wants him to preside over their wedding. He heads to the Grayson mansion eager to break the news which Victoria didn't take too well, not surprisingly she doesn't have many friends, if any. He even tries to get Conrad to atone for his sins now that he's dying which falls on deaf ears. Daniel arranging dinner with Margaux (Karine Vanasse) so he can work for her magazine, 'Voulez' but it appears she was the one who voulez Daniel, ok it doesn't quite make sense, but you get the meaning. She even tries to seduce him by taking off her dress after their dinner, but as we find out later, Daniel picked it up and gave it back to her. Seems like he wasn't going to cheat on Emily in the same way she has done. Emily convinces him to take the job and he convinces Margaux to bring the magazine to Montauk.
Emily earlier running into Charlotte at the same restaurant and her venting over Emily telling everyone about Victoria's affair. Emily insist it must have been Ashley who blabbed but she's still so angry and doesn't want anything to do with her either cos she trusted her and was let down. To the point where Charlotte confesses to Jack that she feels guilty about Declan's death cos if she didn't act in that way he wouldn't have been there. Jack has to tell her the truth, that Conrad knew about the bomb.
Victoria surprises everyone by introducing Patrick to the family in a bid ot get out from Emily's hold on her. Conrad bringing up the $5 million that he was paid to stay away by Frank. Conrad says it wasn't him who sent Frank but Victoria and he's not a gold digger. Emily taking the opportunity to give Conrad some more drugs causing him to have another attack, this time breaking the glass in his hand. Patrick leaves since Charlotte also warns him off before he gets in too deep with this family. She also rejects Conrad and won't be there for him after Jack's revelations to her. All this leading Conrad to be alone and it seemed Emily's plan was working although it wasn't her plan to go after Conrad full speed ahead just yet, but after Whitley.
Meanwhile, Emily does go ahead and takes compromising photos of Whitley thinking she's doing the right thing. Until he talks about her father not being able to give her away and walk her down the aisle. He shows her what he's doing now to help others, the children, the homeless and she has a change of heart, but of course it' to late since she sneaked the compromising shot in with the collection tray. Whitley is confronted by the pastor (David Moses) and has no choice but to leaves the church, as Conrad wanted to see him now. Emily tells Nolan she was too late to stop it from happening, but she will change it and being Whitley back since he's the only one who can get Conrad to confess.
This new series seems to be taking a long time to get going. Patrick seems to have ulterior motives and isn't as innocent as he'd like everyone to believe, just a feeling I get. I mean he's Victoria's son after all and her first born too. Maybe Aiden is leading Victoria on a merry dance since why go to such lengths to convince her about Emily, he could just tell her that she's Amanda. That scene with Jack was as though he was going to tell Charlotte about Emily being her sister but he doesn't. That'd give the game away too soon.
It was good to see Emily struggling with her own conscience for a change, lest she be the one ending up needing forgiveness and a confession for all her sins and revenge. Even Nolan was against her and he told her he loved her and her father too, but taking down a priest was something he couldn't be a part or wanted her to go through with either. Don't know what Margaux is about too and really i can't even be bothered with her. Seems just as boring Ashley leaves, they bring in another replacement who is just a loose end and equally boring.
