Revenge 4.8 "Contact" Review

                                             Image result for revenge contact photos
David (James Tupper) rushes to help Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) and tells Emily (Emily VanCamp) to call for help, but she just watches.  He manages to resuscitate Victoria and calls for help himself. Emily tries to convince him that Victoria is his enemy but he refuses to listen.  All this time he was here but he didn't contact her.  Victoria wakes and sees them speaking together, so she removes the wire of her life support machine and goes into arrest.  Only to plug it back in when the doctor arrives. There Victoria still manipulating from her hospital bed (was gonna say deathbed, it's more fitting!  Ha.)  Even now she's driving them apart.

Daniel (Josh Bowman) pleads with Margaux (Karinne Vanasse) to forgive him, but she storms out and he comes after her.  It's not that he slept with Louise (Elena Satine) but that he lied about it afterwards.  Outside, Louise turns up and Margaux tells her she's made an enemy of her in the process cos she tried to kill her.  Louise retorting that she's not seen any calls from the police on her phone, so she's got no proof.  Louise later sends Daniel a message using the Le Marchel loog and notepaper, telling him to meet her in the bath.  Of course it's from Louise and she's not there when he arrives, so he starts without her, when up rocks Louise.  He's dropping her as a client and she's livid cos she was the only one who gave him a break when no one else even wanted to look at him.  Saying he's had it easy, but he can't be bothered to visit his sick mother in hospital.

Nolan (Gabriel Mann) finds that no one wants to drink at his newly acquired yacht club and his bartender leaves in protest cos of what he did to David.  Margaux congratulates him on his new acquisition and she needs his help in breaking into criminal records to get the dirty on Louise, but he refuses to help after what she did to him and the David interview.  She even tells Nolan that Louise is a psychopath, but he doesn't believe her.  She's his new best friend.  But Louise arrives, yeah getting around she is and they manage to share a drink or few, together.  On her tablet, there's a poll that states David should sue Nolan and he manages to find the photos where Louise has superimposed Victoria's head into her photos.  He wonders why he can't have at least one normal friend.  He returns to Margaux and tells her he'll help her, but ups the stakes.

Emily returns to the hospital and tells David why she did what she did and how she cleared his name. That she got back at his enemies.  He didn't want her to do that, but she couldn't have a normal life, which is why he gave her the journal, so she'd forgive and move on.  Forgiveness was not in her nature and well, he can't really blame her for being the way she is.  She doesn't know him anymore and he says the same thing about her, not being that innocent, little girl.  She leaves, dropping the screwed up photo of the two of them together.

An FBI agent, Kate Taylor (Courtney Ford) is sent to investigate the case of the dead Vince, aka tat man.  I mean, really amateur, he's into such criminal activities and he has a prominent tattoo on display, couldn't he wear gloves.  Emily tells Jack (Nick Wechsler) she covered all the bases and there's no way they can link the knife to anyone else.  Also telling him that she told David who she is. Jack finds Nolan feeling sorry for himself and he says if Emily did tell David the truth it'd solve their problems.  We, er, no, they're only just beginning all over again.  He's still nursing the wound of not only being humiliated by him and also of being punched by him too.  As he tells Jack, "Don't cry for me Sergeant-ina."   Ben (Brian Hallisay) is peeved cos he didn't get his break with the case and how Jack seems to be all goo goo eyes with the agent and picks a fight in the bar.  However, Jack tells him there'll be other cases and this one wasn't meant to be, to stop it or he'll lose his badge.  That's after the FBI believes they've solved the case when David identifies Vince as being the man who kidnapped him.  Couldn't really be that simple.

Emily cries at the beach house and Daniel says he was passing to the hospital but saw her instead. She must be crying cos real tears are hard to fake for her.    She says how Victoria was always her target and he realizes she tried to keep him away from her, but he'd always go back to her. He can't believe she's giving up on her father after putting Daniel through all that hell for nothing. Emily walks by a car parked outside the hospital and notices photos on the front seat.  She bursts in wearing her trademark black hoodie, just as two men are trying to kidnap him again.  She fights them off and tells David she wasn't here.  That's after Victoria lies to him and says that she knew about Emily being Amanda, but she changed the results of the DNA test, but she then and put her away, she couldn't go through that again.  That's when she's also lied to Daniel,  When he tells her he blames her for how he turned out.  Yet again she manipulates him by saying she had to choose between Conrad and her son, so she chose him, cos she'll always choose him.  Daniel seeing through the manipulation and lies, telling her she's lying again cos she's afraid of being alone, but he's not going to be like that. He leaves Margaux a voice message wanting to see her.

David tells Emily that it was Conrad's associate who kidnapped him and he's far worse than Conrad. He showed him a picture of a girl and said they'd kill his daughter, so they made him do whatever they wanted, which he did.  When he found out Amanda had died, he escaped.  He won't tell her who it is, but wants her to leave things alone.  He'll take care of them and he loves her, "infinity times infinity."  Nolan tells Emily he may have someone who can be pitted against Victoria, but she tells Nolan she's staying out of what's happening with David.  As she heats up a hot poker.  Of course that's easier said than done for her, as she has one of the men tied up and tells him to talk.

Not happy at all with the Louis storyline, it's just boring.  How come no one saw that flower on the car and then she brought flowers for Victoria in the hospital again.  Victoria just changing her story and lying to please everyone and keep them on side.  Not to mention it would be funny if Louise did get her claws into Victoria.  Nolan meeting another psycho, why?  ha.  As well as Margaux going after Louise's brother, now.  Oh but I thought that scene between Daniel and Emily at the beach house was rather touching, but Daniel you've known Margaux all this time and you don't recognize her handwriting!  Even when Charlotte's not around, she's still being defended, when Nolan tells Jack Emily didn't kill Vince, it was Charlotte, but it was in self defence.

Then there was that scene with Louise and her 'mother' in the hospital where she gives her the idea of having a baby to manipulate herself into Victoria's good books, as she stares at a doctor passing by. Cos it doesn't have to be Daniel's after all.  Sorry, Emily's already done that, fake Daniel's baby!!
