Emily: "Addiction, an impulse that, once indulged, is impossible to pacify. Even when starved the hunger survives."
Emily (Emily VanCamp) looks at Aiden's (Barry Sloane) ring and also at the letter but can't make any sense of it. Nolan (Gabriel Mann) tells her he doesn't know and it will be a while before they find out what that means, but she thinks Aiden can help her and so she visits him. He doesn't want to help, ripping up the note, but tells him she's here to see him and not just cos she needs his help. Emily getting to the Bermuda Triangle, a pun or irony in there somewhere, you know, Emily and love triangles! Ha. Daniel (Josh Bowman) meanwhile is determined for his own revenge and tells Charlotte (Christa B Allen) he's going to go after Emily's friends, oh sure you're up to the challenge, Daniel, ha. Anyway he recruits Charlotte's help but she'll only get on board so long as Jack (Nick Wechsler) isn't hurt.
Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) meets with her friends who all vow allegiance and will help her keep Emily and her foes away. Particularly Teresa (Morgan Fairchild) who is very vocal. Seems like Victoria's got everyone in her 'pocket' so to speak. Maybe that's the only way she'll have any friends to begin with. Talking about Emily's fake pregnancy, isn't that old news by now. Victoria also telling Pascal (Olivier Martinez) in no uncertain terms that she can't be bought after he sends her a painting she's admired.
Margaux (Karine Vanasse) was offered a job in Rome and Jack thought she should accept it cos it doesn't happen everyday and also cos she shouldn't stick around just for him, but that's exactly what she decides to do. Margaux even told Daniel she didnt' want to pursue revenge against her father anymore, but Daniel talked some nonsense about Jack and Emily and how he told her to take the job cos she's in the way. Later she sees Jack and Emily together and he hugs her, well that'll set her mind on the wrong track, but at the same time, Jack has known her longer and they are friends. Especially since Jack was convincing Emily to tell Aiden how she really feels about him.
Emily asked Stevie (Gail O'Grady) about Pascal and Jack ruined her plans by turning up, as usual, seems like he's spying on her doesn't it. She only managed that Pascal dated Victoria first. As later Jack sees her almost taking a drink but manages to throw it away without actually taking a sip. Not surprising really, as Conrad (Henry Czerny) has his own motives for cosying up to Stevie. He turns up at her hotel room feigning being drunk and in need of comfort. She admits to him about Jack and how they had both wanted to make their marriage work (and if you believe Conrad well, you'll believe anything!) By the time she was out of rehab, Victoria had already gotten her claws into him, or perhaps it was Conrad who most likely did all the chasing. She feels so guilty she ends up giving Conrad the deeds to the mansion, which is what Pascal needed to get in with Victoria. Stevie tells Jack about this meeting.
Emily sets up a Monte Carlo card night for charity and does her damnedest to get Pascal to come. She even steals his poker chip from him whilst lighting up a cigar. Cue Daniel who really only showed up to gloat at Emily and she hands him his credit card when he asks where she got the money to arrange everything. Not gloating anymore was he! Emily wanted to play poker with Pascal but Victoria had to butt in and told him not to trust her. Well don't think anyone would trust Victoria with that hairstyle!! She managed a few rounds with the curling tongs, fire her hairdresser she should! Yet he managed to make Victoria and Emily go head to head. It's clear Victoria is the winner and she lets Emily win, which Emily knows but isn't sure why. What was funny was Emily putting up Daniel's engagement ring as a bet. Now he can't have that back either.
Javier (Henri Esteve) arrives and flirted with Charlotte who admitted his coming clean he was in prison is a breath of fresh air. Nolan warned him about her but he was already smitten as he kissed her, must have been desperate! Margaux said Pascal had given her back her magazine and about going into business with Daniel and Jack tried to warn her. She was rather more jealous of Emily than really listening to anything he had to say.
Pascal met with Emily but she sensed he had a bug there and so she didn't talk with him much other than saying her marriage to Daniel gave her some insights into Grayson secrets. Victoria arrives after he's given her the deeds to her precious manor and they kiss. She promising to go after Emily and he promising to never betray her again. Since Emily's been studying Victoria she knew she lied about the poker hand and just then Aiden shows up telling her the initials stand for his father's name. Of course, should have known that, since he was the one who planted the bomb on the plane. Trevor Warren Mathis, should have got that from the 'M'.
As for that bug, the Eiffel Tower should have been a huge giveaway, I mean it looked like one of those tacky souvenirs you bring back from Paris, hell even I have one of those. He's not exactly going to get on side with Emily and become her ally especially since he only has eyes for Victoria and always did. Also cos it appears he had a huge part in the David Clark scandal. Oh someone just put the two 'evil' twins in the corner and shut them up, Daniel and Charlotte acting out any revenge on anyone seems so laughable!
Not much by way of any advancements in plots this ep since we already knew everything that was said. Aiden telling Emily he isn't like Nolan and wouldn't come back to her, but then does exactly that, why can't live without her it seems. Guess this ep was saved by Emily's red, Special K dress, an ep of Revenge without a main character in a red dress is positively scandalous! Oh and Nolan's jacket, seems like he was saving it for just this occasion.
