Revenge 4.19 "Exposure" Review

                                            Image result for revenge exposure photos
Emily (Emily VanCamp) reveals she s sAmanda Clarke and Louise (Elena Satine) goes running off to Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) giving her the flashdrive just cos Nolan (Gabriel Mann) lied and Victoria claims to show her the extent of his lies.  Victoria gets the flashdrive unencrypted and Louise gets her divorce papers, still willing to not believe that Nolan lied to her.  Amanda has a flashback to meeting Nolan and carrying out their first revenge on DA Kingsly (Yancey Aris).  Ben is angry at how she revealed herself without telling him and she should say she's sorry.  Now he's going to be under an IA investigation cos of her lies.  Life is a series of circumstances and she can't take that back now cos it was on live TV.

Victoria tells Louise about Amanda, telling her how she locked her away in the institution.  Louise, another one with a holier than thou attitude feigning sorrow for her, when she tried to kill her.  Agh, when's that going to be resolved.  She tells her about Homeland Security and all the other things Amanda did and Victoria tells her to go ahead with the divorce cos she has to bring the story of America's new hero to a proper end.

Louise comes to see Nolan with the divorce papers and says he lied about Amanda to her which he is sorry for but he couldn't tell her.  No he couldn't cos that secret wasn't his to share, or doesn't Louise get that.  She tells him he wasn't her true Wonder Twin (oh is that Victoria, or Margaux (Karine Vanasse) even).  Then mentions him shutting down his laptop everytime she came in the room.  He then gets it when she glances over to his laptop.  That Louise knows about it, after running a scan he finds that his files were copied.  But didn't she already tell him Lyman had a flashdrive, why didn't he ask her what happened to it or find it for himself, if it was so easy for Louise to dig up in the sand.   He tells Amanda about the files and she's angry that he kept them.  He wanted to remember what they had done and Emily tells him she'll handle it herself.  T my recollection, didn't the flashdrive end up in Louise's hand when Lyman went over the edge.  Did she throw it down after him, which would've been crazy cos she'd never find it there.

Amanda goes to Kingsly and tells him about how he put an innocent man behind bars and he justifies it by saying he did what he had to with the evidence he was given.  David (James Tupper) walks in   and threatens him, he stole twenty years of his life and if he ever comes after them, then he will have to watch his back.  Victoria calls him and he says that he just won't answer the phone.  Victoria heads to Margaux who's printed the headline that Daniel was a hero and she's happy with that.  She doesn't want to be a part of revenge against Amanda that Victoria has in mind and Victoria reminds her of what Amanda did to Pascal.  Again, it was actually Conrad.  Margaux tells her she lied and Amanda didn't push her cos she didn't know how to tell her it was her fault she lost her baby.

Amanda sees that Victoria's left the office from her GPS and actually goes to the TV station.  Emily heads her off by telling the reporter that she'll give her an exclusive no holes barred interview, if she never lets Victoria go on air.  Amanda had to take to her persona of Emily cos she had to prove her father's innocence.  She has hurt others physically, but she never crossed the line and hasn't killed anyone.  Unlike Victoria, when she mentions how she killed Aiden in revenge for Pascal.  She adds she didn't make an accusation, but Victoria needs to own up to her own mistakes and what she's done. Everyone listens to the interview and Victoria see it on the street.  Even Margaux listens to it and has a change of heart.  She says Amanda was volatile and full of vitriole, yes you can talk Margaux, sporting an even weirder hairstyle this ep.  She aims to help Victoria and she tells her that she's already dead to the world. Well there's an idea for a future plotline if ever there was one.  So it's the three witches going to go after Amanda now.

Jack (Nick Wechsler) asks Nolan if he's watching Amanda's interview but he's not.  He couldn't believe the anger towards him and Jack reminds him of all the times they helped each other and became friends.  She won't be mad at him for long.  Nolan tells him he should go to her now cos this is his opportunity.  She'll recall what she feels for him in her heart and has since they were little, cue flashbacks between them.

Amanda returns home with the infinity box David made her and he recalls that too, as well as carving the symbol in the wood of the house banister.  He's proud of her and how she and Jack were all friends.  How she got Sam and was there for Jack when he died.  Sam being the only one who recognized her as Amanda when she came here.  Finally we're shown someone at the club putting down the magazine and having a drink, as he circles the photo of Amanda.  Well assuming it'll be a man.  It could be Lydia, though it didn't look like a woman's hand or what if ii was Conrad, that'd be funny, but unlikely.  Let's not forget Mason Treadwell.  He was denied his exclusive by Amanda!!

Most of this was a clip show and nothing more with flashbacks to how she took down the DA, some others like Lydia and also of those she has hurt along the way and her loved ones who got hurt, such as Aiden, and Pascal, but everyone seems to forget that was Conrad's doing.  But how many times are we going to hear Victoria's lies about Amanda showing up here with revenge in mind, but that she didn't just go after her, but the entire family and already had it in mind for Daniel to be hurt.  Who wasn't so innocent either.  Oh and Charlotte had to be included in the clipshow too.  Maybe they were good clips to remind us how this all began and how great season 1 was, also how everything fitted in to her becoming Emily.
