Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) sends the baby clothes away and Margaux (Karine Vanasse) tells her they were lovely.  She should've listened to Victoria when she told her to end this revenge business, but she didn't, she also doesn't tell her that she lied about Emily (Emily VanCamp) pushing her, when Victoria says she wants Emily arrested for what she did.  Victoria also mentioning the ground breaking for the hospital wing.  Margaux does tell her about Lyman and how he was getting the flashdrive for her, but he was found dead and she's shed enough blood.  Giving Victoria an idea of wanting her hands on said flashdrive.  Emily drinks coffee as David (James Tupper) shows up with her paper.  She tells him he's been doing that for a while now and wants to talk to Margaux but doesn't know what to say.  He tells her to leave it alone.  Ben (Brian Hallisay) comes down doing his shirt up and David realizes that Emily has been keeping her mind off things with Ben.  He's made detective which explains the suit and tie and David leaves.  Ben tells her his brother is coming down for his party and wants to meet his hot new girl.

Louise (Elena Satine) got back early from the funeral and is cooking and she hated how her mother and all those liars lied about Lyman and her mother spoke his eulogy like Margaret Mitchell.  She thinks it's time they had a baby and they could adopt.   Nolan (Gabriel Mann) is shocked at that cos he really doesn't want a baby right now and as he later tells Jack (Nick Wechsler) he wants one with someone stable and not her.  Which she overhears.  In the paper there's news about the hospital taking a bribe to name the wing after Daniel.  The hospital board has decided not to name it after him and even when Emily speaks up for him, saying that she's forgiven Daniel for what he did to her. Victoria says she should've told the truth and she also has the blood of her grandson one her hands now and Emily is upset with that comment.  Yet she didn't question why Victoria would say that now.

Nolan talks with Tony (Joshua Pence) about the daycare license which he'll sort out and he wants to have dinner with him.  Nolan doesn't think he'll be free.  Jack watches them and asks if he's told Louise about this yet.  Nolan doesn't know how she'll react but Jack reminds him it's not nice lying and being kept in the dark.  He should know, thinking back to Emily and Ben.  Victoria walks into the men's locker room at the station and has words with Ben.  She tells him he's dating someone who should be behind bars for fraud and he helped her with it.  Oh you're one to talk Victoria with everything you're guilty of.  If he doesn't help her out then he can wave his promotion goodbye.  She looks at the Lyman file and sees that Louise was the last person to see him alive, as well as asking about his personal effects, noticing that the flashdrive isn't there.

Emily tells David she has to clear Daniel's name.  Well his name wasn't that clean either after he shot her and she wants to make it right for Margaux.  Come to think of it Margaux losing the baby could be seen as karma seeing as how Daniel made sure Emily couldn't have children of her own after he shot her.  Just thought I' mention that.   Jack wonders how Emily will be at the groundbreaking and at the promotion party.  She wants him to change his statement regarding what happened with Daniel   and she'll say Malcolm Black was after her and that she made him lie so he wouldn't come after her again, which he did.  Jack refuses and Stevie (Gail O'Grady) says he can't do it either.  She accuses her of being a train wreck and that she won't let her use Jack as collateral damage again.  That Emily will always be alone and she'll make sure of it.

Victoria brings Louise some homemade lemon tart since she was there for her after Daniel.  She knows Victoria's here cos she wants the flashdrive to hurt Nolan and tells her to leave.  Victoria tells her she's wrong in trusting Nolan and asks if he told her what happened the night Daniel died.  She shouldn't let them break Louise's good heart.  Yeah that's why she went after Margaux and Victoria also.  Stevie tells Jack there are legal ramifications for Emily's actions and he could be accused of murder and obstructing justice.  He doesn't have cards left to play.  He's the son of two alcoholic parents and asks if he's not using Emily as his scotch.  Also wanting to know if Emily knows about how he feels.

Nolan meets Tony at the beach and Louise calls him but he hangs up.  Then calls back telling her he's working back.  Tony overhears him and says he won't be the man that comes bewteen them.  He has to sort this out and then call him when he's ready.  Emily meets Kevin (Christopher Wiehl) who's willng to dish the dirt on Ben, which she's eager to hear.  He ask about her parents and she tells them they died in a car accident.  Jack shows up and they have an intense conversation at the door. Jack says he can't help her and Emily reminds him they've done more than this.  Louise asks Nolan what happened at the club and he should sit here and watch trashy TV.  He needs to leave and tells him about Victoria being here with shop bought lemon tart.  She sees a post about Nolan being at the beach party.  Funny cos Nolan should've known he'd get in the press somehow.

Margaux's henchman turns up saying he's made progress on the matter has hired White Gold (Courtney Love) to take care of Emily.  She doesn't want that to happen and he's gone too far.  It's too late to call her off.  Emily tells Nolan about Jack who thinks she should leave things alone. She needs Jack out of it and asks for his help.  He tells her Emily wasn't made for good things but just to clear her father's name which she did.  She should now live as a socialite.  Stevie sees David at the boat and tells her about Emily.  He says things are good between them but he tells her he knew about Jack and it's not a good idea.  She gets frustrated and how he made the fist move in what happened to him, after he slept with Conrad's wife and should take responsibility for his actions.  He cuts his hand on the knife.

Nolan tells Jack about Emily and how he saved her life, but they dragged his name through the mud. She needs to clear his name if it's the last thing she does.  Margaux finds the assassin at the car place and tells her the hit is off.  She doesn't do that but she likes strong women.  Margaux knows her identity and Margaux threatens to send out an email to Interpol revealing her identity if anything happens to Margaux.  Wow Margaux, sure you didn't want to wear higher heels, cos you sure couldn't walk in those shoes! Ha.

Nolan finds Louise floating in the pool and thinks she's dead.  Let's face it, it'd solve his problem but of course it wouldn't be that easy.  At the same time, Louise is now free to get her own revenge on Nolan for lying to her and at the same time on his friends too, including Emily no doubt.  He's sorry their lines got blurred and their marriage was only ever temporary to help with her family, which they did.  Louise says she'll call her lawyers in the morning.  They'll always be friends and she asks if they can ever be anything else.  Yes, enemies!  An unstable woman scorned is even more dangerous!

Emily punches the bag when Ben asks her if she's coming.  She decides to stay home and she tells him what she wanted Jack to do. She's trapped between two worlds and he doesn't understand that. Stevie checks on David whose hand is fine.  She tells him that Emily is Jack's kryptonite, just like Victoria was his, but Emily's nothing like Victoria.  Jack shows up at the groundbreaking cos he doesn't want her to do this alone.  Kevin and Ben drink at the bar and my first question was what was going to come onto one of those TV screens, I mean they had enough there.  Kevin thinks Emily's with Jack as they both appear on the news.

Emily mentions to the press how they know of the events surrounding the groundbreaking and how Daniel isn't to get the wing named after him.  She says the truth is that she was attacked by Malcolm Black and Daniel saved her life.  She made the story up to protect others, as Victoria and Margaux watch the news.  She then goes on to add that her secret had cost the lives of many people she loved and admits she is David Clark's daughter.  She finally admits she's Amanda Clark.

Bombshell dropped!  As we know this was bound to happen eventually and with Emily doing it, she not only cleared Daniel's name but also made sure that Margaux or Victoria didn't have anything else over her.  Also cos we know that is this is going to be the final season of Revenge.  Loose ends had to be tied up.  Even Emily mentioned to Nolan she's been doing this for four years.  Don't know what else remains to be said here, but with Daniel's name cleared, it seems Victoria will still be after Emily for revenge cos of her grandson.  She's not one to step down until she takes her down.  But maybe Emily and Jack will get together, cos that's been on the cards for a while now.
