Emily: "Secrecy causes even the simplest truth to seem wondrous, mysterious . It has the power to feel passion and to seduce you into becoming someone you're not. But no matter how we try to guard our secret, to keep them close, they all come out eventually."
Does this apply to Emily too?
Revenge now into flashbacks a la From Here To Eternity, (the movie) well almost as we saw Daniel (Josh Bowman) with Sara (Annabelle Stephenson) on the beach in 2010, where he tells her he will protect her from his mother. Didn't he say the same thing to Emily (Emily VanCamp) later on and look how that turned out. Emily, back in the present, asks him to lunch cos they haven't really spent much time together, but he's busy. Yeah so busy he makes time to meet Sara at the farmer's market after she texts him. Then she's all like how she doesn't want to break the two of them up after what happened to her parents. Daniel is disappointed but has to settle for a punnet of strawberries and work. Oh and this time it's Daniel's turn to get the obligatory shower scene!
Nolan (Gabriel Mann) roommate proves his home but putting, "you break it you pay for it" sticky notes all over his valuables as he's having Aiden (Barry Sloane) move in, much to Jack's (Nick Wechsler) chagrin! He doesn't know he's back in town which is upsetting for him and as he puts Aiden down, Emily walks in to hear him do so. Then she has a go at him by telling him he can't interfere in her life cos she's getting her revenge and leaving, which is what Jack wanted her to do. That was before he found out she'll be leaving with Aiden.
Emily turns up at the Farmer's Market just as Sara has a smug look on her fast and is busted! Ha. Emily puts on quite a sob story of a show when she tells her how she loves Daniel so much and doesn't want to lose him. Of course Sara convinces her she won't get in the way, yeah that'll last 'til about the end of the ep.
Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) has set up a co-ed bridal shower as Nolan puts it and Emily picks out a gift for Daniel. Nolan suggests she should get the watch with the GPS just incase things go awry, it's good to have a Plan B. Charlotte (Christa B Allen) has lost her phone but still wants Victoria to break up Daniel and Emily, but Sara tells Victoria she's not doing this. She's catering for the bridal shower and she tells Daniel someone else should make their wedding cake. Charlotte finds she needs Aiden's help with her phone after she's blackmailed by the man who stole it. She has revealing photos in there from her time in Europe when she was going through issues and Aiden obliges by beating up the man in front of The Stowaway. Well anything to help Emily's sister, right.
Conrad (Henry Czerny) gets Daniel to proof read the first chapter of his memoirs and tells Margaux (Karine Vannasse) he's going with a different publisher. She still thinks there's a story for her there and Jack wants Nolan to convince her there isn't cos she can't get too close. Seems Conrad knows all about Daniel and his feelings for Sara especially when he sees the strawberries, ha, okay it was a little more than that. He shows Daniel his 'love nest', the place where he would bring his mistresses without Victoria knowing and gives him a key. Daniel doesn't want it cos she's not like Conrad, oh no! We know better.
Things hot up at the bridal shower, Emily gives Daniel a gift and also Victoria obliges by taking the bait from last ep and finds Emily's first husband, Rohan (Anil Kumar) that's who she called earlier on. She thinks it will knock Emily for six but it's Victoria who gets the tables turned on her. In walks Rohan as Emily sits blindfolded on the chair as Victoria announces who he is. Emily tells everyone she was married to him but only for him to get his Green card, since Rohan has a boyfriend and is gay. The look on Victoria's face. Daniel is still upset Emily wasn't honest with him, yeah he can talk. Emily later confesses to Nolan that he was also one of Takeda's students like her and they were really married cos she knew Victoria would do exactly what she did after last ep's reveal.
Daniel is upset with Emily and tells Sara he doesn't want to marry her cos she's just like Victoria. Funny that, that's what Emily used to say about Daniel, that he's a Grayson through and through, so he can't shout being used or being innocent. He has the necklace he gave her all those years ago and Sara agrees to be with him, but only if he breaks it off with Emily. Here was Emily thinking that necklace was Daniel's gift to her. Victoria invites Emily over to give her a gift, it's a card with the address of said love nest/shack. Though the Grayson wives were not meant to know over the generations, Victoria knows cos she was a mistress wasn't she, before a wife. Emily calls the number and hears Daniel on the other end. There, Victoria thinks she's scored a victory.
Emily thus comes up with another plan, she has a gift for Daniel, an ultrasound photo as she's pregnant. Well he seemed happy enough, or was this just a dilemma for him. Now he has to go through with the wedding for appearances sake if nothing else, but this means Sara won't get her way cos he'll still be with Emily and she'll remain the other woman. Didn't we get all this baby stuff with Amanda and Jack already.
Aiden also tells Nolan he's got a secret to share with him but we don't get to hear! After Nolan tells Margaux there's no story behind Conrad, she meets up with someone who wants to spill, that someone being Lydia! (Amber Valletta). Her return was to be expected cos no matter if someone dies or gets killed, there's always that possibility that they'll return which is shown by Lydia. She was Victoria's best friend, so maybe she had a hand in getting her off the plane in season 1. That was ages ago! But also cos Conrad did mention her by name. SO no surprises as to who Margaux was meeting.
Daniel and Sara's storyline was unbelievable, she hated him for not being in touch, getting paid off by his parents and him doing nothing. That scene at the pastry shop and now she miraculously loved him all along and wants him back. The same goes for Daniel, he's trying to get away from being a Grayson and everything that entails but at heart he is still Conrad's son and keen on displaying his lack of loyalty and convictions to his fiance. As said, so much for saying Emily is like Victoria!
AT least we won't have to 'Surrender' for three weeks for the next ep, only a week to go, well less at time of writing!
