Whilst Emily (Emily VanCamp) looked at the ring Jack (Nick Wechsler) gave her, she was celebrating with Aiden (Barry Sloane) over taking down Conrad (Henry Czerny) and they declared their love for each other. Of course you didn't have to read the spoilers to know what was coming as far as Aiden was concerned as it was obvious. Whenever characters talk about true love and the future, something bad always happens. But what Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) did was unbelievable. The people in the Hampton's are seriously sadistic and mixed up!
Jack, Aiden and Nolan (Gabriel Mann) also celebrate with champagne and have a glass ready for Emily after she's been to court and sees Conrad's bail hearing turn into a farce as the judge opens the David Clarke (James Tupper) case again as he's handed a bundle of new evidence. Emily sits gloating in her glasses as he's lead away. Well she has the right to gloat and enjoy herself after taking three years to get her revenge. Oh and no opening or closing narrations this ep, think the ep said it all so no words were necessary. Victoria sees off Pascal's coffin and tells Margaux (Karine Vanasse) she considers her family now as she was almost married to her father. Also telling Daniel (Josh Bowman) how Emily and Conrad will pay. Daniel was behind it too, you silly woman. Ha, no kudos from fans for me calling her silly, but never mind, that was putting it mildly. Margaux just wants to know who was responsible for his death, well you're talking to him too, you silly woman! Sorry.
Daniel and Margaux also celebrate her taking over the magazine and she appoints Daniel second in command, big mistake really, she still hasn't learnt to read men has she, still so naive and especially as far as Daniel's concerned, cos he's just using her as a stepping stone to bigger and better, hence his wanting Pascal out of the way. Cue Gideon (Daniel Zovatto) who tells her he didn't want to run the empire anyway, yeah I bet. He tells her to save the tears for Paris and they should just celebrate for now. Daniel reminding him about showing him the ropes at boarding school. Should've left them both there!
Javier (Henri Esteve) apologized to Nolan cos he was right and Nolan adds he hopes he wasn't asking for an apology from him. They don't have the Myclone app anymore, but Nolan has tweaked it so it'll work and is working on a plan to get it back. This includes getting Gideon on side to doublecross Margaux since he really does want the LeMarchel empire. He doesn't look like he's got the nouse for running a business but he wants to screw her and Daniel. Then the app will be theirs. So for this to happen, Gideon got Daniel drunk on absinthe, told him a fib about wanting to start his own company and also a girl to spend the night with him. But said girl ends up dead cos he paid her to have some coccaine and she just overdoses on it. Nolan is angry cos it wasn't meant to be like this and Gideon isn't concerned as he now has leverage over Daniel: a photo of him with the girl's DB. Sure there'll be trouble next season for Nolan for 'getting into bed' with Gideon who can't be trusted, needs a haircut for starters.
As for Conrad, the police reopened David's death as they received Pascal's handwritten note and Conrad knows he's beaten. In his cell, he's beaten by a prison guard and he thinks his hell is just beginning. Boy was he wrong. As Conrad prays and asks for death, it'd be better than that hellhole, the guard offers him a deal and we know what that was, money in return for freedom, but it would never be that simple.
Victoria found Charlotte (Christa B Allen) wasn't related to Carl so Amanda wasn't really Amanda and this made her believe that Emily was her. Charlotte won't forgive Victoria cos she's as bad as Conrad and if only she knew the truth too, of how she didn't even want to rescue from her abductors. Emily decides to go to the cabin alone and the PI turns up who attacks her, but he can't win in their fight cos her sensei, Takeda taught her well, ha. Though Aiden tells her he should have gone with her, which is true, since she should have gone with Aiden too to the shrink's Michelle Banks's (Amy Mandecker) office. Emily says he tried to get her DNA and Victoria put him up to it. perhaps and I really think this, but he was most likely working for or with David. She needs to get her files from Michelle and Aiden goes alone as she knows Emily.
To add insult to injury, he being a Brit was portrayed in typical Brit fashion as a needing his cuppa! Stereotype or what, not all Brits like tea! The tea contains a toxin and Victoria enters gloating about how it will paralyze him and he won't be able to move. Poor Aiden he did try to strangle her, but that's just too good for her. So when he's paralyzed, she suffocates him with a cushion and relished the moment. You'd think she'd see some remorse, but no. Nor does she know how wrong she was cos as Aiden tells her in his dying breath, "it wasn't Emily." She just mistakes that for loyalty. Like she'd know, she has none.
See the entire Grayson family are nothing but murderers. Conrad, Victoria, Patrick, Daniel, even Charlotte kind of contributed to Declan's death by her treatment of him cos otherwise he'd never have been in that building. But Charlotte's just a brainless brat, so maybe she doesn't count, cos she's always putting her foot in it, knows nothing but always thinks she's doing the 'right thing. Yeah maybe one day when you grow up. Emily gets to the bar and finds that David is exonerated posthumously and Jack tells her she shouldn't cry, but be happy. Emily returns to find Aiden positioned on the couch in front of the fire and to her horror, realizes he's dead. As Victoria listens to her screams from her balcony. Oh you wicked woman!
Emily regrets getting Aiden to return and they could have a life together but she couldn't give up her struggle for revenge. She loved him. Which leaves the way open for her and Jack to get back together, but not many want to see this. Jack and Nolan worry about what she'll do and know she'll kill Victoria. Jack's worried that they shouldn't let Emily do that cos she's only just got her life back on track. But Nolan loved Aiden, he was his friend and Victoria deserves it. Though they look for her, they can't find her and Nolan finds her phone in the toilet flush.
Emily gets to Michelle, who is scared as she should be, telling her she didn't know what Victoria would do. She plays the recording of her in the hospital making Emily repeat that her father is bad and a liar, then leaves her locked up. That was brilliant foreshadowing for what was to come. Emily gives Charlotte David's ring and tells her to dig up his body and move it to another safer site. Charlotte refuses so Emily says she'll do it herself. Of course this was so Victoria would go there, Emily knows Charlotte so well and Victoria too. Which she does and finding Emily digging the grave she thinks she's right about Emily being Amanda. I just said she should hit Victoria over the head with a shovel and it's not everyday you get your wish granted, ha. Emily replies that just cos she thinks something is true, doesn't mean it is. Doink!! She's shovelled! ha.
Conrad is released disguised as a priest and thinks it's his lucky day, well night. A car will meet him in the woods and he's so chirpy until he sees who gets out, why it's David. He is shocked but not as shocked as being stabbed by him. See is there no end to the madness in this town. David is just as bad as the others too. Cos no amount of revenge should be justification for murder, yes I know it's just TV, but people are influenced by TV, a lot of them anyway.
Victoria wakes up and finds herself in a hospital. She thinks Amanda's alive and Emily tells her she was ranting so much that she had her committed. Still Victoria doesn't stop and still insists that Emily is a dead woman. She wants another doctor to verify her and Emily says it's already done as Michelle walks in. See foreshadowing, that's what Emily/Amanda had to go through and no one listened to her pleadings.
So ends season 3 as Emily walks away with kind of a smile one her face. After the sacrifice and everything that went wrong, gotta ask was it worth it? Especially since David appears to be alive and well and in murdering mood! Which means those three years of revenge on her part were for nothing. Like the entire three years didn't happen and it'll all be a dream. No seriously, he kept himself hidden all these years and only resurfaces now. If it's really David then Emily should have some choice words to say to him. Thus it seems Victoria also got her revenge on Conrad for Pascal, but in a roundabout way; I think that was such a cop out on the part of the writers cos he did kill Pascal, yes and the others and the plane crash Vics, but Daniel was also to blame and he just gets away with everything. When will Emily get her revenge on him?
Oh and that Charlotte getting Jack taken if or questioning, thinking he's her kidnapper just cos he held her shoulder and so did the kidnapper, also finding the cut in the carseat. He should've thrown her into the boot (trunk) and have done with her! He sees her as he walks out and that look, Charlotte, you're another silly girl, not woman!! Also Victoria thinking Emily was digging David's grave, when in fact she was digging Amanda's. Which probably made Victoria think she was on the right trail after all. Also adding that David was a different man to the one she knew. Suppose that throw away line was preparing us for what happened when he killed Conrad, that he was no longer the father that she knew, not so innocent. Just thought, what if David had a part in their scheming ways and wasn't just a patsy, would Emily go after him for revenge too.
He's made no contact with her (cos he was a last thought on the part of the writers, most likely) but then was he watching her all these years and following what she had been doing. Why did no one know of the cabin sooner? Aiden's gone, a bit sad to see him go, cos he kind of grew on me, but is Conrad dead too, or does he get some last minute miracle reprieve next season. Seems like Mason will have plenty to write about and will he get to do this? Appears they couldn't have Conrad escaping, just like Mason was taken out by Emily and Nolan. Emily in the cemetery was kind of foreshadowing too for almost half the cast! Ha.
