Previously on Revenge: Commitment

The invitations are out and rather fancy. Queen Victoria and King Conrad seem hesitant about the invitations, thought Charlotte is pleased. Nolan is questioning Emily’s decision to press forward with her plot for revenge, but with the recent developments and lies Emily cannot be deterred. Over at the Porterhouse, Oh HELLO Jack’s arms! Please show yourselves more often. Sorry, back to the episode, Jack discovers a conrad tape under his bed. It’s the interview between Mason Treadwell and Amanda Clarke. Will this lead Jack to the real Amanda? Prob not. Jack’s grandpa shows up to express his displeasure in the divorce.

Emily finds out that Jack as one of the tapes after he leaves a message on Amanda’s phone. Nolan takes on the task of retrieving the tape, thought I suspect he won’t do it. It’s family portrait time at the Grayson’s house and everyone is wearing white. Ironic. King Conrad confront Queen Victoria about his father’s sudden involvement in their divorce. Queen Victoria uses it as a threat and leverages what she wants. Jack won’t let Nolan have the tape so Emily calls Amanda for back up. Amanda and Emily discuss what they’re going to do about Jack.

Two Grayson’s walk into a bar….the Porterhouse to be exact. And one little bird walks into a disgruntled Graysons’ hotel room. But none of that is too interesting. What’s more interesting is when a scorned ex-lover, Jack, confronts his imposter childhood sweetheart, Amanda. Between tears and harsh words she asks for the tape, which jack refuses to give up. Emily presses Amanda to go after him, but she refuses. Emily turns back to Nolan to get the tape.

There’s another Grayson party complete with fancy dresses and a concert pianist. While the Grayson’s are enjoying their lavish lifestyle, Nolan is showing Jack the Amanda interview tape. Ummm, I’m pretty sure that’s not what Emily wanted. Tsk tsk. Jack looks a little psycho after that, which could explain the moment on the beach in the first episode.  We get a brief break from the drama with a touching moment between King Conrad and Charlotte, which Emily witnesses. She rethinks her plan of exposing Charlotte’s paternity to her. Then in a swift move back to the drama, Jack is banging on Amanda’s hotel door exclaiming that he saw the tape and doesn’t care. Amanda calls Emily about it and tells her she is no longer listening to what she says. She runs after Jack, but is too late. He is already on his way to the Grayson mansion where he confront Victoria and exposes a whole bunch of truths. By the end of the dinner Charlotte knows who her real father is and Daniel know his mother wasn’t raped. Queen Victoria is looking pretty vulnerable now and Emily is looking pretty pleased.

King Conrad and his father argue about KC conduct in dealing with his family. His father tells KC its time to step down and let Daniel take over. Emily calls Jack to check that he hasn’t seen Amanda. But Emily finds out just where Amanda’s been when she comes home to find her Infinity Box is missing.

Prepare yourself for next week’s explosive episode. It’s gonna be epic.

Thoughts/Predictions

• Amanda will be the one who shot Daniel, though Jack will heroically take the fall.
• Daniel won’t die, but Amanda’s actions against him will put another revenge plot in motion.
• Every episode is better than the last.

Quotes

Charlotte: “We can’t all be Greysons.” (Ohhh the irony.)

Emily: “It could be nothing or it could be Pandora’s box.” (A bit of foreshadowing, I think)

Nolan: “Fire and Ice. Subtle. Was fire and brimstone not available?”
