Revenge 4.14 "Kindred" Review
Emily (Emily VanCamp) finds out Nolan (Gabriel Mann) is married now and how she missed it all cos she was being held hostage. He thanks her for letting him have the wedding reception at her house. Margaux (Karine Vanasse) is going to be covering the event for her magazine, don't know why Nolan would even let her after everything she did to him and also to Emily and this revenge crusade she's now on. Oh give it up Margaux, if its anything like your combover hairstyle, you'll really be useless. Which is the same advice Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) gives her.
Ben (Brian Hallisay) is interviewed on the news about saving the three hostages and removing Black out of the equation for murdering Alvarez and the Chief (John Barbolla) tells them he and Jack (Nick Wechsler) will be honoured by the Mayor (Don Fischer) with a medal. Jack doesn't want to be interviewed and certainly doesn't want the medal. As we all know, this isn't Jack and he's all for the doing the right thing. Even if David (James Tupper) later tells him he's a hero cos he saved Emily and he also saved him. But Jack doesn't know how he can deal with it. As they share a beer on the stairs of the beach house, it was like Jack was almost meant to be there along with Emily.
Margaux wants Victoria to admit the truth about Daniel's death since she's starting a foundation in his name which Victoria hopes will benefit the next leader amongst them. Margaux isn't so forgiving but Victoria adds that going to war with Emily will lead to more pain. Margaux arguing that she wants justice for Daniel and Victoria should feel the same. Lyman (Sebastian Pigott) tells Louise (Elena Satine) he didn't know what their mother was up to, but she doesn't believe him. He gives her a copy of the police report showing she killed their father and how their mother's threatening to expose it unless she hands her back the conservatorship and gets an anulment. All Lyman cares baout is the money for hsi campaign.
Emily tells david hsi leg his healing but they've both missed out so much of each other. She picks out the blue tie for him for the reception and he gives her a birthday gift for the birthday he missed a few days ago. It's a certificate with her name on it, Amanda Clark and foot prints of baby. Emily is more relaxed as she is now and she doesn't want to go back to being Amanda. They hug and their photo is taken outside the house. Of course by none other than Margaux's henchman. The article later appears in one of her magazines with the headline, 'David Clark's New Boo.' Yeah right. Nolan asks Emily if she's seen the magazine, as if they're a couple and she will take care of it.
Victoria meets with her friends hoping to get money for Daniel's foundation, but they seem hesitant to be here. One woman asks what they should do if someone says it's "unseemly" to do this. A woman shows up and tells her she's got her chair, introducing herself as Natalie Waters (Gina Torres). (What another tne of Conrad's conquests?!! ha) She says she should squeeze in between the other two and ask for some caviar too, as they toast her foundation. Ben convinces Jack to come to the ceremony.
Louise doesn't want the reception and tells Nolan about the police report. She was 13 when he feel to his death and her mother said she killed him. She doesn't recall what happened. Nolan will get to the bottom of it as he always does. Emily visits Margaux and tells her about her tabloid magazine. Margaux acting all innocent and saying she's the CEO of the fifth largest conglomerate and can't keep track of everything. Well she should, that's why she has other staff. Emily didn't ask this to happen to Daniel and also warns her of the numerous secrets she knows about Pascal and can sink her company. Margaux agrees not to dishonour Daniel's memory but the news will come out since there are so many news outlets out there. Emily says she can worry about herself. The henchman is there and Margaux is angry that's all he found on her, nothing but schoolyard gossip.
Emily meets with Ben for an objective view and mentions how Jack hates the publicity and she's worried about him. Telling him she was going to be Emily for a while, to clear her father's name and then disappear and become someone else. Not become Amanda like he wants. Ben doesn't want Emily to vanish. Telling her about the time he was undercover, but he assumed that ID for six months, she's been Emily for eleven years.
No one shows up to Victoria's fundraiser at the gallery, except for Natalie and Victoria thinks she may have kept them away. She doesn't like modern art, but likes 16th century court and that would mean her friends are easily talked around, or that the Grayson name carries no weight. Emily comes to Nolan's place on his request and he tells Louise that she's going to use a Japanese technique on her to make her recall the events of that night. Louise must face her fears and danger and she places her hand on the table, as Emily brings the knife around her fingers, pushing it into the table between her fingers, telling her to watch the blade. Louise recalls her father falling down the stairs and she was trying to save him, or her mother, Penelope (Carolyn Hennesy) pushed him. Which is what I said a few eps ago.
Jack tells Emily he killed an FBI agent even if she was bad and how he can't live with that. Yeah great place to be talking outside like that. She's concerned he might tell the cameras what he did. At the reception, Penelope turns up with Judge Miller (Rod McCary) and Lyman and she tells Nolan he won't be her son-in-law for long. Lyman tells the judge to look at the ice sculpture so he can be sure that Louise will sign, so he'll get his funds for the campaign. Nolan finds the note she left him and tracks her on her phone. Emily knows where that is and goes after her, with Nolan handing her a box saying she'll come back cos of what's in there.
She's checked herself into the asylum again and Emily turns up as an inspector and says the man already failed the first test as he was going to leave the desk unattended. Louise says she killed her father (I bet she did as well - ha, yeah I'm changing my mind again cos nothing in this show is ever simple, or as it appears). Emily hands her the report which is a forgery and Nolan found the real report from the officer who was on the scene, showing she didn't push him. Emily takes her back. Louise was trying to grab hold of him and Penelope knew. She tells her what happened and Penelope threatens her with the report. She knows that she was having an affair with the judge and her father found out. She pushed him down the stairs. Nolan asks to see the judge's cane and he leaves, telling her he'll be in the car. Lyman says he didn't know, but Louise sends him packing too without a penny.
At the reception, Victoria confronts her so called friends for not being there and makes a speech about friends being a business. She knows all their dirty little secrets, like how one of the woman's, Heather's (Danielle Rayne) husband had dalliance with the pool boy and one of their husband's is sleeping with one of her 'friends' here. Also looking at Stephanie (Kim Richards) who was into white powder for weight loss. She asks them to double their donation. Jack tells Margaux that Daniel died a hero and she's grateful cos no one's said that to her. He knows about the baby and gets behind the bar to pour drinks by himself. He threw in his job cos there's too many conflicts of interest and she replies she could've told him that. He thinks she'll make a good mother. Not if she carries on the way she is.
David sees Victoria and she asks him what he would have done in her shoes to save his child all those years ago. He replies he just did it and she already knew he'd say that. She just wanted tot hear it from him. He sees Emily and they share a dance, how they used to all the time when she was little. She can't be Amanda, but he just wants her to be happy. If she comes clean about being Amanda then the whole world will change, well that'll happen now that it's been mentioned. It's just more foreshadowing especially since it'll either be Margaux who exposes her, or Emily may have to resort to admitting it herself. I thought it was funny one of the woman asks Jack to bartend at her party, cos that's all he does really! Ben texts him about quitting and he heads over to see him. What got me is how Emily got there before him, since she goes over to Ben's house and he wonders who let her in. She kisses him and Jack gets there to see that, cos it's like he had his chance and lost it all those times.
Victoria recalls her old chair (yes the one that I still covet! ha) and Natalie tells her she's impressed by the way she got money in return for secrets. That Victoria will find out who she really is sooner than she thinks. Once upon a time, Victoria would've been on the case already instead of waiting around. But alas that's something that losing Daniel has done to her. She gets a call saying there's been a death in the family. Now who could that be?? Margaux's henchman shows her footage of Jack talking to Emily about the FBI agent, but she seems hesitant in wanting to hurt Jack, she wanted the dirt on Emily. He thinks she should get rid of both of them. But he's done nothing wrong and either did Emily, Margaux and her petty vindictiveness.
I can't picture spoilt brat Margaux getting revenge on Emily, let alone coming close to it. Ben is just there for the sake of it and doesn't really add anything to the show. For Emily to fall for him like that seems ridiculous since he's nowhere near like the men she's been with in the past. He's another one like Jack who plays it straight, but how can she get anywhere with Ben with all her secrets and everything she's done in the past. Think David wants to see Jack with Emily too since he made that remark about saving the beer for him, as well as that spot on the porch steps. Victoria's got another nemesis in the form of Natalie and boy is she still as deceptive as Anna, the character Gina Torres played in Alias. As for Victoria's phonecall, who's family did the death occur in hers or Conrad's, well you can never tell.
It'd be good to see Victoria using her 'friends' like she's done so in the past since they're just as loaded with secrets as ever. I mean the Hampton's is the place for buried secrets and bodies too for that matter. Probably Natalie will make a play for David which will anger Victoria even more. Ahh, those red Special K dresses have disappeared too from the parties. Don't see Nolan and Louise working at all. He may have married her so she could get her inheritance, but they have nothing in common and I don't trust her. She's said and done too many things and using that drugged up business seems to be an excuse. We'll find out soon enough.
Speaking of Alias, just incase:
