Emily: "Growing up my father said the ocean is a great escape, as time passed I also learned that its great expanse holds greater secrets and the ability to hold mine. And that like love it is at its heart, fluid, powerful and sometimes violent. But in its harshest reality, the ocean is a barrier separating you from those you love."
This time round it's Nolan (Gabriel Mann) who eyes revenge after Emily (Emily VanCamp) tells him about the new PR woman, Bizzy Preston (Ana Ortiz) (appropriate name cos she really has been a busy bee in more ways than one!) Conrad (Henry Czerny) has hired to put the family name into good light once more. Almost blackmailing Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) in the process by telling her to go along or he'll hurt Patrick. Emily thinks it's time she gave her some juicy gossip about herself and ensure her clients find out about her. Bizzy's plan is to throw a 4th of July party and get Victoria and Emily to play best friends. of course a Grayson party never goes without a hitch as is common knowledge.
When Emily tells Nolan about Bizzy he already knows her since she spread a story about him being gay to the press and his father and things were never the same between them. Emily decides to tell Bizzy about her first marriage, of course it's a fake, but she tells her she was young and Victoria doesn't know of it. She then takes a backseat as Nolan takes over the reins.
Jack (Nick Wechsler) and Margaux (Karine Vanasse) appear to be heating up too as he asks her out on a date but at the last moment couldn't go through with spending the night with her, not at first anyway. He opened up to Nolan about this and Nolan tells him he has to let go and realize Amanda isn't coming back. Jack later visits her grave with flowers and takes off his wedding ring. Things later hot up and she drops the bomb about Conrad publishing his memoirs and how she wants the book rights. Since there must be plenty of secrets in his past and present. Margaux even turned down Jack's offer of cooking her pancakes! SO that was their fireworks.
Nolan gets a hold of Bizzy's phone and finds she's been having an affair, so much for being happily married to Jeff. Bizzy still thinking she helped Nolan when she outed him. Nice the way Nolan placed a camera on his glasses and then let her use them cos he got to hack into her phone that way! Nolan being in the wrong business, he should be in the spy trade! Lots of possibilities there for him. Nolan told Bizzy he'd ruin her by outing all her client's secrets and by telling her husband about her affair but he was being much kinder than she was. He gives her an ultimatum, end the affair or else. She apologizes for what she did to him but it's too little too late. Though Nolan waited years to hear that, it's sad that his father couldn't.
Anyway Bizzy also lets slip to Victoria about Emily's first marriage, so much for keeping secrets. Daniel (Josh Bowman) sees Sara (Annabelle Stephenson) at the Stowaway and thinks she could prepare their wedding cake for them, follow cake tasting where Emily tells Daniel she's got the job. Daniel is more aloof however as he still has feelings for her. Charlotte (Christa B Allen) picking up on this finds a way to drive a wedge between Emily and Daniel and in the process ensure he gets with Sara. This she doesn't tell Victoria until after she's been rude to her and so she has to say sorry. This leaves Aiden (Barry Sloane) out in the cold as Victoria no longer needs him to make Daniel jealous, so she fires him. Victoria can't stop walking in on Aiden in the shower and in his towel!
Aiden and Emily talk at the party but Daniel is oblivious, instead he's focused on Sara. He sees her on the beach and they almost kiss, which Nolan picks up on his glasses. Emily making sure that they "have no future." Emily also reveals to Nolan that she didn't think she could have anyone else in on this revenge business with her and that he is a true friend to her. Well about time, since he's been there for her since the beginning and all that time she was in juvvie.
Seems like another spanner in the works as far as Emily's plan for revenge goes. Now she has to deal with Sara and Daniel's newly heightened interest in her, so where was he all that time she was out of the picture, not even so much as a visit and now she turns up, he's wanting her all over again. Can't wait to see what Emily has in store for her.
Also good seeing Nolan get some revenge of his own although he tells Emily he wasn't as tough on Bizzy as he should have been. Well he's not Emily and maybe it's cos she did finally offer him an apology. She was hopeless as a PR agent cos as Victoria tells her she's unable to read people but can't keep secrets either, with blabbing about Emily's marriage already, she didn't even bother finding out if it was real or not. What I didn't like was how Aiden and Emily would always meet out in the open but never get caught and even now as they said their farewells, no one spotted them, not even Charlotte, she'd have plenty to shout over if she did. SO he's booted out by Emily too and must go prepare for her 'death.' Seems he didn't have much to do on this show anyway.
Victoria seems to have forgotten Patrick already as she sets her sights on sabotaging Daniel and Emily but must have been pleased that Charlotte is following in mother dear's footsteps. Amazing Charlotte takes after her mother considering her father is David and not Conrad, so she's only got half the evil genes, ha. Emily does rue having to leave her sister though. She regrets this cos she'll never see Nolan again either.
Victoria to Aiden: "It's the fourth of July, the day we Americans celebrate getting rid of the British." Oh Victoria don't underestimate us Brits! Ha.
