Revenge 4.15 "Bait" Review

                                            Image result for revenge bait photos             
Margaux (Karine Vanasse) meets with her detective and tells him that she'll use the footage in one go, which also includes discrediting Jack (Nick Wechsler) as well, so much for being his friend.  She keeps repeating how she's going to get her in one go with more revelations, but then why did she decide to release this footage now.  It wasn't just about Emily (Emily VanCamp) she was being malicious to Jack as well.  Margaux's assistant, or ass of an ant, as Jack and Karen called them in Will and Grace, listens in and then calls Nolan (Gabriel Mann).  Apparently she's meant to be on the payroll, and tells him Margaux intends to release the footage of Jack and Emily the next day.  Nolan wants more info from her and to see if she can get hold of it.  She says she might lose her job and Nolan replies he'll start up his own magazine if he has to, to ensure she has a job.  Ha!  Actually come to think of it, Nolan should start up his own magazine and then be in competition with Margaux.

Nolan shows Emily the footage of them talking about Jack killing Kate and then both of them covering it up from last ep and must find away to hack the footage.  Only ii can't be hacked cos the server is in-house with security.  Margaux calls in the FBI and she tells them someone broke into the server and with her security footage they should be able to find out who it was.  As she looks over at her assistant, no Margaux you're not that good to have guessed that already.

Jack walks along the beach collecting sea glass as he used to do when he was little and sees David (James Tupper).  He's meant to be going for an interview at a friend's firm, but he doesn't want to do that anymore.  He recalls how Jack used to collect glass and says he's got a good piece there.  Jack all the while thinking about Emily and Ben (Brian Hallisay) together.  Jack decides to give her the glass and she thinks Nolan called him, which he didn't.  Jack thinks he can get Margaux to change her mind cos they were almost friends again last night, but Emily doesn't want him to try.  Jack meets with Margaux and shows her Carl and they talk about being a single parent, at least Jack does, so he's got her back and knows what she's going through.  Carl gives her a bracelet which she accepts and wears. I knew it was the bracelet.

Margaux met with Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) who told her about how she's gong to be coming into money from Daniel's grandfather, Edward Grayson who left him an inheritance when he died.  So she thinks she's on her own two feet now without money problems.  Which will come in handy for Daniel's foundation.  She's also glad that Margaux's given up going after Emily and Margaux lies through her teeth and her combover.  Victoria meets the lawyer, who tells him that she's been left his Corgis and their Burberry beds.  She says she was to inherit the money but he changed his will.  In walks Natalie (Gina Torres) of course and introduces herself as Edward's widow.  Edward died a while ago but she wanted to see what Victoria is really like before she introduced herself.

Victoria tells her they need a judge and the will is fake.  Lyman (Sebastian Pigott)  introduces himself as a lawyer and a politician and tells Victoria he can get the will overturned for her for 20%, also helping him with his campaign.  If she gets nothing, he'll get nothing.  She sets him a task to find out the dirt on Natalie and he reports that she was Edward's nurse and married Edward shortly after her other husband died.  She was removed as a nurse and Edward died shorty after.  Later at the club she sees Natalie with her former drinking buddies and tells her she knows all about Natalie  Who puts on fake tears and an act about loving him and being a good wife, unlike Victoria and of course it's all for show, but the idle rich get taken in as per usual.  Also  Lyman is angry at Victoria spilling their beans already but she puts on an act of crying too and tells him now they've got her fake show of tears in public.

Natalie makes a beeline for David after she gives him a yacht in exchange for a drink.  Probably going after him cos he and Victoria aren't together and putting one over on her.  Is he going to fall for that too.  Louise (Elena Satine) wants to go to Italy on their honeymoon, but Nolan has business. They decide Emily has to raid the building and take out the server, only it's all for show.  Emily climbs down the building and Margaux waits with the agents at the server room.  In walks Louise, who got lost to the gym, adding Jack told her it was the eight floor, or Eighth Avenue.  Margaux shows the agent the info she has but she wipes the footage.  Yes Margaux, that bracelet.  She finds Emily in her office who tells her about how she's not better than her and she can keep trying to discredit and destroy her, but she won't succeed.  Then tells her about the bracelet, would've thought she shouldn't have, cos it gave the game away and now she knows Jack was part of it too.  Which means she'll come after both of them, not that she wasn't going to before.

Jack knows about her and Ben and finally confesses it was always Emily he loves, as soon as Sammy saw her.  He wanted to give her time after Aiden but he thinks she's moved on with Ben.  Only she hasn't.  She rejects him and keeps the piece of glass.  Margaux now turns her hand to Ben as she tells him she knows where April is and so unless he helps her, he'll make the wrong people find her.  So it's blackmail she's resorting to now and threats.  OH can't we get rid of Margaux already, waste of space and so amateurish as well!

Nolan realizes he and Louise are more alike than he knows and should've been there for her, as she says she'll give him a divorce.  He doesn't want that though, which just leaves the question of what she's really up to.  Would like to see Natalie get her comeuppance even though she's just arrived. Poor Jack he should've known that was coming weeks ago, what am I saying weeks, years ago.  As I said before he had his chance and quite frankly he should've been honest much faster!  Cos he had feelings for her since Sammy passed, but again even though they kissed, he didn't do anything more about it.

Also hope we get more scenes with Emily and Victoria cos that's what made the show.  This season now seems like a weak laxative version of its former self.  Oh and Margaux had to wear that red Special K jacket, lucky it wasn't a dress though.  I mean give it up woman, how many times are you going to get the floor wiped with your ugly mug!! ha.
