Revenge 4.9 "Intel" Review

As Emily (Emily VanCamp) kicks ass, ha, like she's never done before, beating up the man for Intel (hence the title) we see her really get into it, and about to brand him with the hot poker.  Saved by      the bell, as they say, it's Ben (Brian Hallisay) who's come to be honest and ask her on a date.  She's not dating now and besides, he ruined a perfectly good torture scene, so no points to him for spoiling the fun.  The man eventually tells her that he and the other man were hired, but he doesn't know who by.  The other man's name is Peter Dunn and he dealt with the details.  Well, that was shortlived, no pun.  As Alvarez (Nestor Serrano) tells David (James Tupper) and Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) that they arrested Dunn, but the other man got away.  Just wanted to laugh then considering he was being held by Emily.  At the station, between Jack (Nick Wechsler) making goo goo eyes at Agent Taylor (Courtney Ford) and being interrupted beforehand by a call, they find Dunn hanged in the interrogation room.  Cue suspects, anyone who had access to that room.  This leads Emily to think it was Alvarez.

So she changes her mind about Ben and asks him out for a beer.  She questions him and he plays darts, saying that whoever gets the higher score gets to ask the question.  Of course it would be Emily.  By the end of the night, she finds out Alvarez was Ben's mentor and he was seeing someone who just used him to get out of a spot.  She left him.  He reaches to touch Emily's face but she grabs his wrist.  He realizes this wasn't a date, but a fact finding mission.

Nolan (Gabriel Mann) tries to get in touch with Emily, but she's not picking up.  As Louise (Elena Satine) opens up to him about her family and being put away in a mental institution for the first time. Also mentioning her father.  Nolan relays this info to Margaux (Karrine Vanasse) who still needs him to hack into her criminal record.  Nolan's being too trusting again, especially since Louis overhears him leaving a message for Ems and then tells her he's protective of family and friends.  Louise later finds out that he betrayed her when she tells him the Le Marchel people were digging up dirt on her father and he was the only one she told.  Nolan is angry with Margaux and says he no longer wants to help cos he doesn't want to see Louise end up like he did with David.

Probably another reason Nolan doesn't want to help is that David apologizes to him realizing he did look after Amanda.  Also Nolan tells him David owes him a new phone and his Twitter followers. He reassures him Emily won't be pursuing this and David knows it's dangerous for her.  That's why she hasn't revealed who she really is.  Victoria thinks David is keeping secrets from her and tells him she does love him.  That she has the date 1 September 1993 imprinted on her memory.  It was the day they were meant to take Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Amanda and run away together.  She saw him everytime she looked into Charlotte's eyes.  Well that must've been a chore!  Ha.

Daniel brings Margaux breakfast but she doesn't want it and tells him to leave again.  As well as Victoria telling him how she's lost everyone now.  Patrick, him and Charlotte, but she's not going to lose David.  Daniel replying that it won't work cos everything she's told him is based on lies.  Emily goes back to see Ben and says she owes him a date.  He says she's good at everything, including basketball and she asks about Alvarez, telling him she suspects him of killing Dunn, he replies that was a high level security interrogation room and the only one who has access was Alvarez, but he was with him, he passed him on the way from the beach house when he came to see Emily.  So that leaves the FBI.  Knew little Miss Agent was dirty.

David tells Nolan about a dangerous man named Marcus Black in Canada, even more dangerous than Conrad.  He got him to launder money and now he needs to find him.  Nolan finds the location of the man Emily was holding cos she freed him and made him drink a tracker in the water he gave him. David finds the safe where he concealed $5 million that Victoria stole from Conrad for their life together and he hid the safe but Victoria knew the combination.  Obviously he knew it was the date they were meant to leave together.  He places a flashdrive inside there.  Then gives the envelope to Nolan incase he doesn't return.  However, he's able to give it to the assailant instead at the airport.

Meanwhile Victoria calls her PI and gives him a photo of Emily revealing who Amanda is.  The same photo that's delivered to Taylor.  Ahh, Jack you fell for another floozy and a corrupt one at that! She gets Emily's photo.  Liked the scene with Emily and Daniel again as he tells her this is the one time they've been the most honest with each other.  But she told him to go away.  He says she looks good so she must be on a date with someone who wears his heart on his sleeve, so she can tear it from him. Emily also adding that he's never fought for what he wanted in his life, as he tells her his woes about Margaux.  He loves her and finally he turns up there drunk cos of what Emily said and she rejects him again.  This time telling him she's pregnant.  She also gives the go ahead for the Louise story to be printed even if she hasn't got any facts in support.  

Victoria lying when she tells Daniel, she almost died and has had enough of the revenge, that she is willing to live with Emily and David as a family.  Who's she kidding, especially as she endangers Emily now.  Alvarez also telling her how the two men were after David and he found Vince dead, the man who kidnapped David and was behind his attempted hit and run.  As well as Nolan getting involved with Louise who is unhinged and no one realizes she tried to kill Victoria.  Think the show is covering old ground with Emily getting back into revenge mode and all for David again.  This time it's not about Conrad but Victoria and Marcus.  Still waiting for someone to find out about Victoria's attack, but it appears the writer's don't remember that.
