Emily: "When facing your enemy, no amount of training can trump nature, it separates the strong, weak and sometimes it tells us that surrender is the strongest move of all."
Funny way for Lydia (Amber Valletta) to reintroduce herself into Victoria's (Madeleine Stowe) life, when Emily (Emily VanCamp) was with her up in Victoria's room, she came to steal some of Victoria's clothes, or should that be 'borrow.' Ha. Victoria must be vexed to say the least, that she saved her from flying on that plane and on the condition that she was never to return to the Hamptons, gee if you can't trust your best friend... knew she didn't get out of there alone. But then Lydia was just conveniently brought back again, even if she had really died, she wouldn't have remained dead for long. Margaux (Karine Vanasse) is angry that Lydia can't stay in her room in secret and that she hasn't given her much to go on, aside from some names who can corroborate her story. Emily tells Aiden (Barry Sloane) and Nolan (Gabriel Mann) about Lydia and needs to come up with a plan to get her gone, or at least discredited in Victoria's eyes. She's also got to deal with Sara (Annabelle Stephenson) again.
Emily needs to leak the news of the baby to the press otherwise she still fears she's losing Daniel (Josh Bowman) and thinks Victoria won't be able to keep it to herself once she finds out. But the news must come from Lydia otherwise Daniel will know Emily leaked it. Lydia pushes Emily back when she leaves and she falls to the floor from the Grayson manor stairs, luckily they were only the front door steps and that Emily isn't really pregnant. For a moment there Lydia might have been in on Emily's plan, but obviously she wouldn't be since she needs to exact her own revenge on Emily and hasn't let go of the idea that she still recalls her from the night Emily was serving as a waitress at the New Year's Eve party.
Daniel is also concerned for Emily, or more so for the baby and they tell Victoria the news. She's not happy at all and thinks it's just another rouse to draw Daniel into her web. However when Victoria breaks the news to Conrad (Henry Czerny) he's ecstatic that the family line is being extended. Emily gets Aiden to find out what he can about Lydia and what she's doing. So he finds she's meeting with Conrad. She calls him to the hotel room and he is shocked to find she's alive. When Margaux finds out about this after Aiden cunningly calls her and tells her how he's the concierge and that Lydia's been ordering room service and seeing Conrad, Margux dispenses withe her story, but Lydia keeps her journal.
Funny also how Conrad was reminiscing with old photos for his memoirs and has a moment with Victoria, which didn't last long. Liked also the scene where he reminded Victoria she should let Daniel be happy and how Patrick, her first born was barely here six months when he turned to murder. Nolan gives Aiden what he asked for and there's one more thing he needs to do for him, which we don't know about.
Jack (Nick Wechsler) surprises Margaux with lunch and sees Conrad's file still on her desk. He tells this to Nolan who speaks with her telling her where to go for the scoop, straight to Jack. Nolan thinks he should be honest with her and he reveals how Conrad was behind Amanda and Declan's deaths and how he was protective of Margaux since everyone he cared about is gone, he didn't want to lose her too. She apparently wants the same thing and agrees not to pursue the story. Well that was too cosy, just like their entire storyline, think it was moving a bit fast.
Charlotte (Christa B Allen) wants to convince Daniel to stay with Sara and she finds him out running where he goes when he's hurting. She then tells Victoria she doesn't want anything more to do with her plan to scupper the wedding and she's out of it cos she saw the hurt in Daniel's face and she doesn't want to do that. Sara meets with Daniel who tells her he can't be with her and she can't be the other woman, so returns the necklace back to him, which he throws into the ocean. Lydia mends fences with Conrad and goes running back to him and his bed. Where she finds that photo of Emily too. Didn't Emily think there'd be more than one copy of that photo and that maybe Conrad would have it.
Emily and Daniel have their photos taken for the piece in Voulez and she spends her last night with Aiden before the big day. Aiden proposes to her and the way she had to change rings was funny. Just had a feeling on the shooter, wonder if it was Lydia, even though Patrick's returning for the wedding. Victoria gives Emily her RSVP to the wedding and tells her she can seat Nolan at her table now since she won't be there and he's giving her away. That's another dilemma for Emily now, which means Victoria won't be on the yacht, not to mention how she took Victoria's bracelet to the gun range just to ensure she'd have traces of GSR on it.
Surprised to see Charlotte being nice to Emily even if it was for Daniel's sake as she was so hell bent on destroying the wedding for Sara's sake. SO as Emily planned the press were there when she arrived at the doctor's with Daniel and it was kind of lame, the way she just sat there not knowing what to do, with Daniel telling her to pop the roof and drive out of there. She didn't look or sound very convincing at feigning shock. But how will Emily get Victoria to come to the wedding, cue Patrick, maybe that's why he is back next episode, although it seems he's just a suspect to add to the list of many considering he was the one who sabotaged Conrad's car.
Can't see Emily marrying Aiden since things will go awry after the shooting, otherwise there'd be no Revenge. Also think the only way Emily will get away from Lydia and her using the photograph is if she comes clean about who she really is, which will really turn things around and also make things awkward for Daniel too. Imagine all this time she lied to him about everything and that she doesn't have an ounce of feeling for him. He gave everything up, including Sara, for a lie. Ah poor Daniel, seems his role was pointless. Emily's dress for the photoshoot was gorgeous! Roll on wedding ep...
