I’m not sure if ‘Revenge’ is something to boast about or feel overly excited to see, but like all TV shows featuring ‘relationships gone amok’, Revenge has its own twisted pleasure to deliver. I feel guilty and downright dirty. I know that Revenge teaches me to exact vengeance and to plot the downfall of those who’ve double-crossed me, but I just cannot stay away from the madness that stares through my soul every Sunday night I tune in to watch. Revenge is that good! Unless you lock me away, isolate me from every electronic device, and put my hands in cuffs, I’m hooked to Revenge. If you’ve seen the premiere of Revenge – Renaissance – you would have been prepared for what Season 4 episode 2 had to bring to the fore. Before delving into the sweet apple pie of episode 2 of Season 4, here’s a sneak peek of what episode 1 had to dish out.
Emily moves to the Presidential Suite
In previous episodes, I’ve always caught Emily red handed admiring Grayson’s Manor. In season 4 episode 1, it was made pretty apparent why Emily was checking out the White House; at least that’s my analysis. Viewers thought Emily was staring through Victoria’s soul when she looked intently from her Beach House, but I honestly thought she only wanted the house. That’s just my opinion guys. Finally, after Victoria and the rest of the crazy Graysons left Grayson manor, Emily Thorne moved in. How did that happen? Where did Emily get all that dough? I have no qualms that there’s just no limit to Emily’s bank account. If she’s able to hide her identity so well, she’s highly capable of concealing her investments and what her so called ‘dead’ father left behind. I’m not sure as to what Emily is up to, but I hope she’s changing her outlook on life. Once again, Emily is triumphant, but it’s pretty clear that she’s becoming like the viper, Victoria, but without a husband.
Victoria is out for good?
Was it really necessary to have Victoria detained in a mental institute for a mental illness that was not present? The majority thought that Emily did a good job but I have a different opinion. Emily might have felt victorious, but she only allowed Victoria time to plot against her. Now that Victoria has escaped, she’s coming for Emily with fire in her eyes… at least after she’s escaped David Clarke’s clutches who was chloroformed after threatening Emily. What is David up to? I can’t say, but I know that he’s up to no good.
Now that I’ve gotten the important deets out, here’s what episode 2 of season 4 brought to TV.
Victoria is reunited with her lost love
After a horrible dream of being strangled by the lover she betrayed, Victoria woke up only to find herself lying in the back of a van with David behind the wheels. Under heavy interrogation by David, Victoria caved in and told the truth, maybe for once. She related that she loved David, always had, but was threatened by Conrad, her deceased husband. I was pretty much anticipating a violent reunion. However, blinded by love, David expressed that he loved Victoria and embraced her with a warm hug. Pfft… David is definitely not the man I predicted him to be. If I was in his predicament, I wouldn’t have made her pay. Down with love! After all, that’s what got David into trouble which made him into a sore loser.
Emily’s secret became known to another
Pretty much, I’m of the impression that family is the only thing Emily cares about, which is good. After unleashing hell on her father’s betrayers, Emily, Amanda or whatever she’s called, reached out to her addicted sister, Charlotte. By dropping the bombshell, Emily revealed to Charlotte that they’re both related, they’re sisters. After going cuckoo, reality finally rushed in and Charlotte settles down and decided to hear Emily out. Quite the family reunion. However, things didn’t turn out as Emily anticipated. Charlotte, who’s young and stupid, storms out on Emily who tried to help.
While Emily is trying to work out salvation with her sister, Victoria and David catches up. The tables have finally turned and for the worst. Victoria now has a deadly weapon at her fingertips, one who’s willing to shoot with the whisper of the word.
A Family of Vipers
While Emily is no saint, she does have a big heart, especially towards her sister. However, as with all the Graysons, something learnt from Victoria, Charlotte has betrayed Emily and her trust. After storming out on Emily, Charlotte decided to invite her over. I thought she had an epiphany and had decided to let Emily help, but she obviously had something else in mind. Charlotte, after handing Emily a letter to read, smacked her in the head leaving her unconscious. As if that wasn’t despicable enough, Charlotte lit the building on fire, leaving Emily to burn. When asked if anyone else was inside, Charlotte confidently said no. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
As I wait with bated breath, I refuse to look at any sneak peeks of what is to come. I’m quite relaxed and composed, waiting to see what will befall Emily and more extensively, when Emily does survive, what wrath she’ll inflict on Charlotte. Until episode 3 of Season 4, see you soon.
