No opening or closing narration this ep! What could she have said...
Emily (Emily VanCamp) must get her skates on if she's having Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) at the wedding and looks through her secret box again. She enlists Conrad (Henry Czerny) by playing on his family side to say Victoria won't be there and she so much wants this to be about family since she doesn't have any of her own. Thus Conrad calls on Patrick (Justin Hartley) well he was easy to find in Manhattan, ha and gets him to come down. Also blackmailing Victoria into going cos then he'll leave Patrick alone, but she's still adamant about going. She's happy to have Patrick here and he convinces her she must go for Daniel's (Josh Bowman) sake. UGH Daniel, I will leave my comments about him until later!
Meanwhile the three Musketeers, ha, so who'd be the fourth, Jack (Nick Wechsler) go over the game plan for the wedding night on the yacht and Emily's going to spill her blood on the deck after she feigns being shot and diving overboard. Aiden (Barry Sloane) will lock Victoria in the state room but alas this is Revenge and things never pan out as planned. To make her final farewells, she sees Jack for the last time and admits she was with Amanda the night she died and held her in her arms. She couldn't get her off the boat. Jack is angry she kept all this to herself all this time and has taken everything he had from him. She promised Amanda she'd look after Jack and Carl. When she leaves, Jack finds the envelope she left for him with Amanda's charm bracelet inside.
Patrick heads over to see Nolan (Gabriel Mann) and these two were so emotionally charged, only Patrick fizzled out the moment! Ha. He tells Nolan he can't be involved since he has Victoria to watch out for but Nolan doesn't want him to stop seeing her, but only see him too.
Let's not forget Lydia (Amber Valletta) whom Conrad finds out about when he sees her journal and promptly kicks her out of his bed and his life cos he thinks she's just using him for money, even when she tries to tell otherwise. It's not until later when Margaux (Karine Vanasse) tells him Lydia changed her mind and is in love with him that he takes Lydia back. Then Lydia brings out the photo again and shows it to Emily. She wants 'her' beachhouse back. Technically it was never hers to begin with! Emily agrees to her demand, telling Aiden of the photo, well eh didn't exactly get it back for her.
Emily preparing for the big moment is accosted by Aiden, ha, to see her looking so lovely and they kiss. He can't wait to be with her. Nolan walks her down the aisle to her intended doom, er, I mean groom and I think her dress for the photoshoot was much nicer than this one. But she had to wear something that wouldn't drown her when she jumps overboard. Flashes to Emily's reasons for revenge as she said her vows to Daniel was a nice touch. Of course Lydia turns up but is stopped by Aiden who gives her the papers to the beachhouse and explains that she wasn't invited to the wedding.
At the reception, Daniel calls Sara (Annabelle Stephenson) but is interrupted by Charlotte (Christa B Allen). Sara gets drunk at the Stowaway and makes a move on Jack who calls a taxi for her. Emily and Nolan share a dance and he's going to miss her, she wants him to keep Patrick away from Victoria, which he does. Also whispering, "long live David Clarke" in her ear. Nolan texted Patrick about Father Paul and he high tails it to his place. Nolan confesses his love for Patrick and that he's safer with him than with the Grayson's. until Patrick finds Nolans drawers, of remotes! Ha. Why keep the one which operates the painting in the same place. As bad as Emily keeping her infinity box in her beachhouse hidden panel. Wonder if he'll actually look or will he show some restraint. Get back to you on that one.
Conrad brings Lydia along on the boat just to ensure we have another suspect. Well it wouldn't be her cos Emily wouldn't exactly say "I'm sorry" to her, Lydia's more into wanting her exposed than dead. He's got news for everyone of how she's his mistress once again and Victoria and Emily both don't want Lydia there for different reasons. Emily's made a video about her and Daniel which she hopes will keep everyone in one place as she sets her plan into motion. Spilling her cider onto Victoria's dress and has to wash it off, where she meets Lydia who shows her Emily's photo. Victoria confronts Emily and they argue. She takes the h
champagne glass from Victoria and tells replies she's not really pregnant and of course Daniel was listening, cos he was desperate to get hold of Sara, really Daniel on your wedding night too! After hearing she tried to commit suicide. Yeah right Sara your accident and pain didn't lead you to do that all those years ago, but your feelings for Daniel did! SO noble of you after making that big deal over not wanting to be the other woman. Aiden chloroforms Victoria and takes her away.
Leaving Daniel alone with Emily. He is mad at her and takes the gun shooting her twice. As she falls into the water, he throws the gun in after her and casually walks back inside. Aiden swims to shore and finds Jack waiting for Emily. Wanting to say a proper goodbye. She's meant to be here before him but hasn't arrived. Cue wedding dress washed up on shore!
Okay Emily's been shot but she won't die, it's not like it's the end of the show. Still I didn't like the fake baby storyline as said, resonated of Amanda, but Daniel's reason for shooting her, as said involved more than just being lied to and besides the man is a total drunk, what sort of father would he have made when at the first sign of trouble, he turns to drink. Also think the only way Emily will be free of Lydia and Victoria's hounding over the photo, is if she comes clean and confesses to being Amanda.
Yes Daniel, knew he was the shooter for several reasons, okay maybe a few. Firstly if you recall ever since season 1 any sort of shooting in Montauk has always involved Daniel. There was Daniel on the beach with Tyler and when Amanda was there too along with Jack. Then in the season 2 finale, he shot Aiden in the beach house, so naturally we had to go for the trifecta as far as he was concerned! So yes, seems his love for Sara was the turning point really. Not so much Emily deceiving him for two years and that she lied about the baby, but the fact he had to marry her and forsake Sara. Which was all a tad convoluted since he only recently got all those feelings back for her after she appeared on the scene. He wasn't even remorseful about it either. Not two seconds before the reveal, I said that Daniel wouldn't shoot his own baby, would he? How wrong was I? Really, I need to stop pre-empting every show and plot line going otherwise I'll get bored rather quickly if I always get things right! Not blowing my own Grayson trumpet or anything!
But Daniel was cold and callous in those final moments and the way he just watched her go under was kind of funny and heartless at the same time. That he thinks she could really be dead and for someone who showed so much venom at Conrad causing all those deaths on the plane, to turn around and become as calculating as his father in those final few seconds was unexpected. Being drunk and hurt was no excuse. Does he feel pain anyway, I mean he was also drunk when he caused the accident with Sara. Have to admit he and Emily did make a great scheming couple, al la Conrad and Victoria. What matrimony together would have eventually led them to, ha. Emily Thorn "in my side" Grayson!
So that's two for two as far as Victoria is concerned. First Patrick tried to off Conrad and now Daniel has his way with Emily. At least Patrick was doing it for Victoria and not for purely selfish reasons, so who turned out to be the biggest loser as far as her two sons were concerned! Could Nolan have been right all along about Patrick and having such a deep connection to him, but then Nolan's never been lucky in love, so probably not.
Still at least we only have a week to wait for the next ep!
